Agreed. Massive massive crowd today. The manager and players didn't do their part. Flat all game and the opposing goal keeper had nothing to do for 96 mins.
I don’t think anyone is poor for lack of trying or attitude. Although I thought he was poor today, even O’nien busting a gut to try and get on the end of something in their box near the end of the match. They’re a good group of lads but there’s also other lads sat on the bench who must be thinking what do we need to do to get a chance. When we’re chasing automatics (before today) we can’t carry passengers. Roberts output is shocking and to have TWO goals in his last 60 odd games is embarrassing. And we can’t keep flogging Rigg we might as well be a man down and when we have Browne, Samed and Aleksic on the bench it’s even more indefensible.
Got some thoughts about the last couple of months including the January window but will leave it for tomorrow once I’ve let today settle down. Thought todays performance was really really poor. Probably the first time I’ve left feeling a bit worried. Plymouth/Watford you can say bad day at the office but today it looks like it’s becoming a regular occurrence. Ballard looked back to his best and now likely out for the season. Rigg again really poor, needs a few games out of the 11 for me. Probs in the minority but thought Roberts was the only one who looked like he could make something happen, I think Hume leaves him isolated at times if I’m honest, love it when he overlaps. This is RLBs toughest moment so far, was always going to come but it’s how he handles it is what’s important now. Tough day.
The management of Rigg has been clear to see. For months he has looked poor and faded. The eye test and stats back this up. Today it was beyond that. Looked totally shot. Weak, falling over and looked out of it. Needs a couple of weeks without football IMO. At times today he was moving like Gareth Barry, quicksand.
He’s definitely your latest obsession. I think there are a few off form though. Cirkin Roberts Hume Rigg Jobe have also had a good few games with little impact lately. Unfortunately we don’t have parachute money for a squad like Leeds or Sheffield Utd.
Hated everything about that game, the slow possession, no movement, time wasting and diving. We move thr ball so slow, been saying it for months, so easy to play against.
Unfortunately, it's been played out though. I was gutted to see him out there like that today. Looked physically and emotionally shot to pieces. He needs to be protected and frankly it's elite sport, we need better for now.
Now it looks like playoffs, time to try aleksic out and other who have been on thr bench, try get that spark back
Rigg used to be brilliant at taking the ball in midfield and turning towards the opposition, that combined with Jobe more safe and tidy approach worked well. He now does the same as Jobe so we have almost no creativity behind Wilson. It's either tiredness, lack of confidence or both but it's affecting our attacking ability and we look slow and lethargic. The kid needs a rest.
Can’t say I disagree. Was actually tough to watch him today, felt brutal. Off the ball especially away from home I do think he brings something but from an attacking sense he just isn’t offering enough for a number 10. Seems to really slow us down when he gets it. Needs to be managed better for the rest of the season.
First ten minutes thought he looked dodgey but then stood out by a mile. Thought hull played well first half especially. Looked a lot better than their position. We were poor too like
