Match Day Thread Hull City v WBA

Best team seen so far this season, very well set up, play to a pattern they all seem happy with. Chasing shadows at times today.

That said, if Grozzer had put that first half chance away....

 

Can't understand how McCann believes that Lopes and Honeyman offer more to City's midfield than Stewart and Batty? Of course they are his signings so he's bound to select them. Also playing Bowen out of position to accommodate Bowler is poor management. Although the lack of a decent No.9 means that you can forgive this decision somewhat.

 

When is Billy Big Baloghs going to get a game?

 

Not before he's fit again I suppose. Got injured against Forest.

 

Just remember to enter all your own info into the data base, I'm sure you will be quickly moving up the super fan league table. Obviously Castro has nothing to enter these days, he must be just another armchair fan who's full of **** eh?

Knob head.

 

BBC has the gate at 13800. Anywhere close?

 

Thought they were the better team first half but second we were very good. Chance wise we had the better chances but couldn't put the ball in the back of the net. Disappointed we didn't get a point but I really enjoyed it and it's very rarely i say that when we get beat.

 

De Wijs should have done better at the end

 

Oh well...here ****ing goes

Reasonable CITD chant at 19.04

started singing ‘we want Allan out’ with Askew straight afterwards...heard hardly anyone else joining in.

so.

1. I have no problem with anyone has never chosen to protest against the Allams and so has never sang any protest songs.
2. I have no problem with anyone who has only just started going and therefore hasn’t been involved in any protest singing, continuing to not be involved in any protest singing.
3. I do have a big problem with people who normally sing protest songs but decided not to today because the owners were in the ground. I think they are forelock tugging, sycophantic, deferential, brown nosed ****ers. There was lots of them in the ground today


Oh as for people who tell me to stop singing anti Allam songs...well I think they can **** off...but they know that now.

 

Not a bad performance, lacked the creativity of Toral in midfield and they were a tough side to break down. Take our chances though and it could have been a different result.

Bowen clearly too good for this league but tried to do it all himself today, Grosicki didn’t put enough of a shift in and not up for any 50/50s.

Referee was weak as piss, they should have had about 5 yellows for niggly fouls, and another 5 for diving. No idea what was wrong with the De Wijs header given as a foul late on too.

 

Not a bad performance, result not great obvs, but for some calmer finishing we'd have won that. Wba v good team moved it well and defended well, glad to see Kevin stewart back In the team, wouldn't have taken him off tbh and thought the 10 mins straight after wba dominated esp in cm. Good signs tho, play like that vs most other teams in the league home or away and it'll be 3 points

 

That ref was a shambles, not in the sense of making a couple of match turning decision, but by just seemingly getting every little one wrong. I ha e no idea what has to happen for eaves to get a free kick, he could be decapitated and play on be waved it seems

 

Lottery numbers please DBT?? Disappointing, but no disgrace in that game, losing to the league leaders. We went toe to toe, gave as good as we got, and deserved a point from that. Could ‘av, should ‘av scored in first half, and also a couple of golden chances in 2nd half, we just didn’t have our shooting boots on, they had one really well worked corner and take their chance. And it had to be Livermore, although he didn’t rub it in.

My only critiques, we really need urgently to work on our throw ins, does my head in, and don’t know what’s up with Irvine at the moment, he’s been off it for a few weeks now. Really feel for Toral, out for 3 months, just when he had got back performing well, going to be a hard psychological battle ahead.

Have to say the minute silence was really well respected, apart from the North concourse. Credit to all. Anyway I’m off now, strictly unavailable.

 

Good effort by City but the freakishly good Livermore shot won it. Had a superb view from East stand and couldn't help but think he wouldn't have done that when he played for us. They should never have had the first corner from which they won a second and scored. But, we should have taken our chances. Honeyman looked very sharp when he came on, apart from his very first pass straight to them. Worth a try for 90 mins alongside Stewart? Eaves still has a bit to do to be convincing, but how he kept being pulled and pushed with nothing from the ref I don't know. Good nil:nil game won by a cracking goal from Livermore.

 

Toral was a big miss for us today , lost count of the times Irvine's final ball wasn't good enough

Well I suppose people are starting to fall for their ****. I can understand that, because we all want what we used to have. A proper football club.

I'm sorry it was another **** experience.

 

Reece Burke reached 50 appearances for City today.

 

I honestly thought we were worth a point today. I thought we had good passages of play in both halves of the game. Stewart should have stayed on, Honeyman doesn’t look very good, Da Silva on the other hand I thought was excellent and my MOTM.

The referee was as bad as I have seen in recent years, total garbage. I thought there was a good shout for a penalty to us in the second half, looked like a shove in the box on Grosicki?

 

Thought maybe Stewart was injured or carrying a knock
Honeyman was dog ****
Really really bad
Was bowler injured?
Lichaj was excellent
De Wijs should have stuck that in at the end
They were a good side and savvy as
Loads of time wasting
Jake Livermore was imperious I thought
Class act
They will go up in the top two
