I have to say I was most impressed with that Mawson. A centre half with technique like that for the volleyed first goal, not to mention his all round defending - looks a top prospect to me, destined for the top.
Good read... Hull City and the oddest of odd seasons http://www.football365.com/news/hull-city-and-the-oddest-of-odd-seasons
Hull City V Burnley - 1 Leicester City V Hull City - 3 Hull City V Swansea City - 3 Everton V Hull City - 0 Hull City V West Ham United - 3 Hull City V Middlesbrough - 3 Manchester City V Hull City - 1 Stoke City V Hull City - 0 Hull City V Watford - 1 Southampton V Hull City - 0 Hull City V Sunderland - 3 Crystal Palace V Hull City - 3 Hull City V Tottenham Hotspur - 1 My points prediction. 22 more points giving a total of 42. Surely enough??
I would go with these giving us 23 points = Total;43 Hull City V Burnley - 3 Leicester City V Hull City - 3 Hull City V Swansea City - 3 Everton V Hull City - 1 Hull City V West Ham United - 3 Hull City V Middlesbrough - 1 Manchester City V Hull City - 0 Stoke City V Hull City - 1 Hull City V Watford - 3 Southampton V Hull City - 1 Hull City V Sunderland - 3 Crystal Palace V Hull City - 1 Hull City V Tottenham Hotspur - 0
I was looking forward to seeing George Boyd. 15 more points 3 wins 6 draws 17th position with Leicester,Palace & Sunderland to go down.
I think the amount of points to stay up will probably be about 37. Better to always get over 40. I think we'll need to grab a couple of away wins as I'm not sure we'll win the games at home everyone is banking on us winning.
Yeah we might not win all the games people expect , the thing is now we seem like we can potentially take points from any game None of this writing off all the games against the top 6
The article didn't mention the Bournemouth away result and generally just how poor the defending continued to be, changing the goalkeeper was part of that but it was only briefly touched upon. The defeat against West Brom after taking the lead wasn't actually that surprising to many. So it wasn't as much of a surprise that there was a change as he thinks.
The article missed out that Phelan was only chosen as manager after several other options fell through, so his being replaced was again not that surprising in that context to those following the club.
I hope 37/38 will be enough.....think Burnley should manage 2 more wins (Stoke, WBA and West Ham last 3 home games) and a couple of draws.
who'd have thought we would have beat Liverpool or drew with ManU at their place? the bottom 6 are bunched together so much that all it takes is a win or 2 and we float to the top, just like foam in a bottle of piss.
