The great irony, of course, bring that SLF left when the Board appointed Ainsworth over his head. And he'd been chasing Cifuentes that season. I'd be miffed in his shoes.
Of the bottom 11 teams four got wins (us, Coventry, Sheff Weds & Swansea). Everyone else dropped points. Just a few weeks ago we were 6pts from Huddersfield just above the relegation line. Now we’re 6pts from Coventry in 15th. Win on Wednesday and we should be back above the line with less than half the games played through the season so far. In the 6-game form table we are 5th with three of the leagues top four above us (Leeds, Ipswich and Southampton). What a difference in such a short time. Marti we salute you.
So this is what ‘new manager bounce’ is. After all these years I thought it was a myth. Neat neat neat.
Good win but tough & they had a lot of possession but not a lot come of it, good attacking play & Willock & Chair excellent again, freezing but warmed up goals & another loft goal, onwards & upwards Urrss
Marti's positivity has rubbed off, the players are believing in themselves and are buzzing and the supporters are on board. Brilliant stuff...
Hull were among the best we've played this season so this was a particularly satisfying win. Begovitch's best performance to date and kept us in charge when City piled on the pressure at the start of the second half. Willock nearly back to his best. Dozzell (expected) and Field (unexpected) well off the pace - definitely an area the manager needs to focus on. Chuffed.
I agree Col, let's keep calm and try to get out of the relegation zone first. Btw, who do you think we should sign to keep us in the Prem next season?
Just back. Fantastic atmosphere and we've absolutely got our Rangers back. We harrased and harried, nipped and bit and tenaciously attacked in every area. It was a very good result.and a clean sheet to boot. Keep it up Marti and the lads.
There’s a tradition that started against Stoke of a whisky over ice; it continued vs Preston and will certainly have to be continued tonight now. It’s a new bottle so would be good to finish it off by end of January
