Felt yesterday's effort deserved more than this relatively short thread. As someone said, people much happier to post when its negative. Second half was as good as I've seen from us for a while. Must admit at half time when Lichaj and Burke went off and QPR had already been getting on top I feared for us. But actually De Wijs and Mackenzie actually dealt with QPR's threat down that wing much better, and the midfield finally really seemed to get stuck in whereas first half QPR were winning al ot of second ball. The other thing NA changed was to play Grosicki as a more central striker and move Irvine out left - and it worked really well. Bowen, the heroic Campbell and Grosicki scared the life out of their back four. Only sour note - the brainless singing of how s*** must you be , we're winning away.' Not funny, and just think about it for a moment. You're a team giving your all to win away from home against a team in good form and some of your fans are effectively staying you're still s***. Pleased to say that particular chant was booed by older fans. But generally, support was great and the team spirit there for all to see.
Yes we have. We've turned the tide somewhat.3 recent wins and a couple of draws. It's not like Bolton or Sheff Utd or even Millwall, but until recently we didn't do great down there.
Remember that game when Stuart Elliot came on late to win the game with 2 goals about 12 years ago? Remember when the Dramas ran the clock down all afternoon that day? Enjoy Hull-based 'Northern R's report:- "And then there was the time wasting. My god, the time wasting. All of the time wasting. Over every throw in, every goal kick, every free kick, and a laughable moment when Grosicki was replaced by Mazuch midway through the second half and was allowed to pigeon step Paul Pogba penalty style all the way from the centre spot to the dugout in a voyage that seemed to take him 80 years to complete. Simpson’s reaction to this was to issue warning, after warning, after warning, after warning, after warning, after warning, after warning, after warning, after warning, after warning, after warning. Everybody got a bloody warning in the end, and nobody got a card. On more than one occasion he stopped Marshall in the process of taking a goal kick, or Batty in the process of taking a throw in, to warn them to get on with it. Well that’s just wasting more time still isn’t it you ****ing penis? The second half had four substitutions, including the Grosicki farce; two goals, including the Bowen one where the celebrations lasted longer than the 100 years war; and three Hull injuries, all of which involved ridiculously overblown medical attention followed by a long, slow, drawn out walk to the furthest touchline away after which they were immediately waved back on and came sprinting back into the action. Having spent the whole second half allowing the Hull players to take the absolute piss out of him if he honestly believes that four minutes of stoppage time was adequate at the end of all that then he’s even more of a festering knobcheese than even I’d initially given him credit for."
