Pandur good today. Gets too much stick for my liking. Excellent last season, had a few poor moments this year, but he’s young and that’s to be expected. He also makes a save or two every game that goes completely under the radar, like the one early today and the one early against Charlton.

He also gets criticised for things that are really blown out of proportion. Like the Charlton goal, he was a bit shaky and gave away a corner which we conceded from. OK, but you typically concede several corners a game, it isn't a death sentence, something else has obviously gone more seriously wrong to concede a goal, so a keeper being blamed for the goal because of him conceding the corner seems way over the top to me. At Cardiff last season there was one where he failed to hold onto a free kick, palmed it away leading to a corner, then I think they scored two corners later and Baz was still blaming him for the goal because of the original corner concession. That's bonkers.

I say this as one of Pandur's biggest critics when it comes to his kicking.
 
Good management that. Spotted where it was obviously not working in the first half, and it wasn't, and changed the formation. Different team in the second half and won more easily than the score line suggests. Norwich are poor though, how they never scored in the first half is beyond me.
Three points away from home, clean sheet and a nice little unbeaten run building up, all without our leading goal scorer.
UTT.

Spot on. As I said to you a while ago I think we have unearthed a decent manager with this one.

Jakirovic: 'It's a huge victory for us'

Hull City boss Sergej Jakirovic told BBC Radio Humberside:

"Joffy's [Joe Gelhardt] finish was excellent with his weak foot. He had also problems with his ankle and he had a kick in the first half.

"I was asking him if he wanted to continue, but he wanted to play. This also shows his character and he wants to play all the time. I'm very, very happy with him and since he's arrived here, his statistics are amazing.

"I must admit, we survived the first half because Norwich were much better than us. At half-time, we changed our shape, and from the beginning of the second half, we looked much better. These are a huge three points for us."

Not just our leading goal scorer ...but also without our 2 best wingers and 2 best midfielders. Equal 5th, bonkers
