Match Day Thread Hull City v Luton

The likelihood is he would have started all the games because he was head and shoulders above these so called better players plus he would have been a good candidate for captaincy.

 

Think the goals against have just stripped their confidence.

 

If I was Daws, I'd be on the phone to his brother and ask him to just come and spend 2 or 3 days here....

 

The mistake in recruitment as I see it is not replacing Smallwood with an upgrade. You're entitled to disagree.

 

Liked what ive seen from sinik from his brief touches

 

Oh well, it's only a game.

 

Your a stubborn bugger it's alright to admit your wrong I would forgive you lol

 

At least we drew the second half.

 

Absolutely fooking garbage.

 

I honestly don't think I am.

If you want to finish higher, you need more than just a grafter as your main creative midfielder.

I'll admit we've missed his character in the absence of Doc, but he's shown that tonight.

 

There wasn't much Jones could do about the 1st goal. Perhaps a consequence of playing a left footer on the right? I wouldn't say their 2nd goal was an error by the back 4 either Lansbury had far too much time to take his shot and it's the responsibility of the midfield to close down that space.

 

Jones is right footed

 

Don’t know what’s been said already, can’t be bothered to read right now. But this is what I took from the game:

1. Possession stats once again proving that they mean nothing.
2. We have too many negative players who will not dare make a pass forward/try to create or score a goal.
3. Andy Dawson will always be a Hull City legend. But what was he thinking taking off Pelkas and Estupinan, when Woods and Longman were clearly the two that needed taking off?
4. Fair play to Coyle. I mean, technically he’s one of our worst. But at least he tries to do something. Unlike most of the others.
5. Jones is not as good as I thought. Time for McLoughlin.
6. Baxter is not very good either (decision-making).
7. Sayyadmanesh and Tetteh are massively missed (I always felt this would be the case when they got injured).
8. I’m strangely still optimistic we will come good soon, and yet there is little evidence for this.
9. Pelkas looks quality. But Seri and Tufan look disinterested.
10. I’d still take this over being in the Premier League with the Allam’s in charge.

 

I would say he was a lot more than a grafter he was our most consistent performing player along with creativity and a goal scoring midfielder gee wizz it must be a different colour sky in your world I will say no more on this subject because its all academic anyway ps I'm sure you also said Docherty would have gone bar the injuries because he wasn't good enough now it's " what we've been missing " in reality we've probably been missing a lot more since Honeymans departure.

 

He's a different player at L1 level. He's not a top 6 championship 10.

I agree he'd be useful right now, but if you want to progress you need more quality as the main man behind the striker(s) than he has.

It's my opinion. You're welcome to yours, but if you finish 19th and don't make changes in key areas you stay 19th or worse.

Whether you think the replacements are an upgrade or not are again your own opinion.

I think relying on your 10 to be your rattler and ball-winner then that highlights the real issue.

 

Bit of a crap night but I think the right decision has been made today

 

The **** you say
Honeyman had established himself as a champ player at Sunderland. Totally bossed our last PL game at theirs. Came in carrying injury but after the covid restart seemed to have shook it off and looked a different player despite relegation.

Doc for me is still to prove he has what it takes at the level. I'm not against him staying as his attitude seems top notch but I don't see the Honeyman comparison personally. Not yet anyway.

 

Well that's just as well because we're not a top six team either, I could tear most of your comments apart quite easily were we finished last season has no bearing on letting your best or most consistent player leave, I called it as a terrible decision and as it transpires it was, bring in better players by all means but keep your best performing ones as well

 

The aim is top 6 isn't it?

Again you're welcome to your opinion, but I think not replacing the Smallwood role with better (or indeed anyone) is the main issue, not replacing our number 10 with Pelkas, Traore, M'hand and Tufan.

 

That was dogshit again. We might have some decent individuals but we’re nowhere near anything resembling a team.
