Match Day Thread Hull City v Blackburn Rovers

He would destroy the league with Bowen and Grosicki alongside him. I'd back us for promotion with Hernandez here.

 

"How to defend passively"

 

Our midfield is getting completely overrun
They’re walking through us

 

Good job Long is more alert than the rest of the defence.

 

Is this the knife through butter formation....

 

Irvine and Stewart are knackered from covering the awful defence but have been our best players.

 

Totally agree both have played well

 

Stewart been class again, proper engine. Lack ability up top and at full back.

 

Coventry and Tranmere both down to 9 players (different matches)

 

Individually they have done ok no more
But as the centre mids they need to dictate and tell and get a grip on the game
Blackburn are walking it
Looks like men against boys

 

We had chances in the first half that should have been taken by Bowen & Batty
Both full backs very poor and Eaves offered nothing.
Changes will have to be made on Saturday.
Stewart outstanding again.

 

Anywhere else on the pitch

 

As has been the case for too many seasons, for me at least. We have no leader on the pitch. We have a lot pf prissy players with tricks and pony tails, but no one who will give **** to teamates and tell them to roll their socks up.... IMO...

 

The subs have not worked at all. Taking Batty off has left us completely open in midfield. Looks like Noone knows where they are playing and it is just put as many attacking players on as possible and hope it works.

We said in the first half we might regret not taking our chances. How right we where.

 

**** sake, that's 3 dropped for sure.

 

For me Stewart and Irvine played well .. Grosicki in parts .. Bowen poor tonight .. Eaves not at the races yet .. poor selection of McKenzie .. should have been Lopez from the start at rb .. question marks still surround Kingsley ... more negatives then positives I'm afraid .. but having said that penalty goes in and who knows how it would have turned out .. Mowbray deffo has our number that's for sure.

 

McCann out

 

Only saw second half but quite simply they were better than us across the piece. Organised, focused and playing with a plan. We always seemed to be surprised to be in position then having to make it up on the hoof. Oh, and Kingsley has to go.

 

Not really. We got what we deserved.

 

As well as the team learning, this is a steep learning curve for McCann too.... he has to decide on his best 11 and stick to it. Hopefully the Leicester lad at LB is ready soon and Lichaj isn't too serious as today was a shambles... Lopes de Silva has played at RB but its not his position. Eaves needs to be out of the firing line.
