Twine is at best hot and cold - I don’t rate him, Zaroury’s talented but had a massive tail off and list his place at Burnley and they slated his lack of effort. A number of those you mentioned are ‘inexperienced kids’ by our definition are they not ? They’re definitely young
Thin, our Dads would’ve got on as mine was the same! Normally threw the last punch too! Nails! Which makes me wonder why I’m soft as ****e![]()


Because some just seem to want to whinge, even though we haven't got a clue who we are going to appt. At least wait to see who we get then whinge if you disagree with the apptWhy not wait and see who KLD appoints as manager?
That team bucks the league by 10 points.Thought your last point was interesting so thought id pull together a joint team and i had 5 of our players in it - i would have a 6th (cirkin) but didnt count him since he was injured for most of the season
Patterson
Hume ballard greaves giles/jacobs
Neil morton
Philogene carvalho clarke
Delap (or tufan as a false 9)
Cheated a little as clarke n philogene play the same position but both too good to leave out
Harsh on seri but Neil was better than him n morton this yr n i perfer morton to seri
They have some class championship players but also a lot of bang average players
He did well last season imo, the 6 teams that finished above them all had better teams or squads (or in ipswichs case just an unreal season)
Vinagre played 10 games before he was recalled. Twine was so bad that his loan was cancelled (and he's never consistently performed above League 1). Zaroury played 12 games after barely playing football for the first half of the season. Delap's best season in the Championship before this season was 4 goals. Tufan is a 29 year old forward who scored 40 goals in his entire career.
They had some good players for sure. Their squad might also be better than ours, but I'm not sure how relevant that is to his performance.
They didn't have a squad that should have been certainties for the playoffs.
Some quality highlighted here. Do you think that team could stay up in the prem ?

Only people that are clueless about football .I see some are complaining we’re potentially after Cifuentes now

January incomings were big at Hull. They were doing well and the owner went for it. If only it were so easy to bring players in mid season. It was like the owner was playing championship manager there.On paper Greaves, Morton, Seri, Philogene, Carvalho, Giles and Zaroury are exceptional for this level. Omur and Ohio should be very good too. Maybe even Tufan and Delap.
He had the team performing better before half of those were brought in though so maybe too much change was inflicted in one go on a group that was doing already doing well.
Or moan about the heat on a sunny dayOnly people that are clueless about football .
People got wowed in Jan at their signings. They really were never at the level of the 3 relegated sides. Ipswich were loads better. That leaves folk demanding they finish above Norwich or West Brom. Far from clean cut.This is what I don't get. Everyone saying they had a fantastic squad. They had 2 or 3 very good players, the rest were okay.
Talented players thrown together don’t always make the right ingredients… or get onPeople got wowed in Jan at their signings. They really were never at the level of the 3 relegated sides.

Which is why we finished 16th, along with some awful decision making re head coaches.They had Carvalho, Delap, Zaroury, Giles, Morton, Vinagre and Twine all loaned from top tier teams… Philogene and Omur came in for close to £10m.. to add to the likes of Seri (better than any of our midfielders even at the age he is now), Tufan, Greaves, Slater who are all very good at this level.
If you had to make a combined Xl of both squads last team Hull would have more players than us by far.
Nah i dont think it would, the step up is massive. Patterson isnt near PL standard, the defence is lacking pace (ballard n greaves are PL standard imo but not as a combo), fullbacks are good enough for PL (cirkin def could be if he stays fit). CM lacks experience, to @WorkyTicketFTM point if it was a PL game id have seri in there for his experience.Some quality highlighted here. Do you think that team could stay up in the prem ?

I thought the two full backs were the weak links instantly and the striker.Nah i dont think it would, the step up is massive.

I do like the 3 in behind the strikers tho, thats the real quality but tufan n delap aint scoring enough goals to keep that team up
