I stayed to the bitter end on Saturday, after the pitch had been cleared of Plym fans. After a while a remarkable spectacle unfolded - Cyrus came out of the tunnel with full tracksuit on and a rucksack on his back, did the most cursory of claps at the remaining City fans then walked the full length of the pitch and out of the stadium via the home end. A few minutes later I saw him climbing into a taxi. I’m sure there was a perfectly innocent explanation - but it did look a bit like Christie had had his contract ripped up in the dressing room and was told his seat on the team bus was now occupied!
Half of those games were in the Prem. His Champ win percentage with us was 52%, inc the playoff games, so more in line with the OPs comments.
There was a pic of him at Plymouth train station taken by a Plymouth fan. I think we were still in Plymouth when my lad showed me. As a balancer, we bumped into Slater, at a service station, after the Sunderland game. Big empty car park & the ****er parked right next to us. Both could well have been pre-arranged.
I'm relatively happy with the style for the most part, especially with how it looked in the final part of the season. Something I would like to see is an ability to change when things aren't going well for us, whether that's a bad performance from us or the other team has tactically out manoeuvred us. Too often we bang our heads against the wall rather than trying something different. We need a bit more variation in personal and some ways to work with that in times of need because at this level we are never going to have the type(amounts) of quality needed to consistently dig you out of a hole which is what the top passing sides in the prem often get to rely on.
Good grief, the Ipswich match feels like it was only a week ago. Reading on here, it was evidently under a previous manager.
Our style of play is part of the reason we were able to sign so many of the players on loan from PL clubs. Do you think if we played long ball football we’d have signed the same calibre of players?
TBF to Rosie & the team in general, we’re still dealing with the fallout from when Acun took over & went out himself to get players he wanted. Rosie & the rest of the people dealing with signings, are trying to fix that massive clusterfuck of an off season. We can’t get rid of Rosie because of his style of football if it gets us points. Despite pretty much all the fans are annoyed at the fancying about at the back, but, when it works, it looks amazing. Obviously if the **** hits the fan around November/December & it’s looking like we’re nowhere near, then Acun will more than likely bite the bullet, but until then, no amount of whining from people on forums & websites will make Rosie, the most successful Hull City manager since Bruce, the next man out of the door. So can we please stop with these bloody negative threads!
Seri missed 7 games whilst at the AFCOM 1/1/24 to 17/2/24 ..we lost 3 Sheff Wed (a) Norwich (h) Swansea (h)..but won 4...Sunderland (a) Millwall (h) Rotherham (a) Huddersfield (a) Can't help feeling that Sheff Wed (a) Norwich (h) and Swansea (h) might have been more productive had he been playing.
Never knew he only had one bollock, hey ho. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
Who said anything about long ball football? I've no issue with possession football personally, but to make it successful we need players to move and then passers to gamble on that movement. When we've seen it we've looked, and been excellent. When we've not seen it we've looked turgid and out of ideas.
Ditto, sold out away end, glorious sunshine, and a huge wave of pre-season optimism gone in 90 minutes. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
