The overreacting to Soton is hilarious they aren't prime Pep Barca you know! Defensively they are the worst of the 4, stay in the game you'll always get a chance
Agreed, it seems difficult for some to accept he is a very decent striker at this level, a bargain for what we paid for him and also not a world beater either. I have no complaints with BTA, his goal output is decent and consistent, and his work rate is top notch.
There aren’t any, as far as I’m aware. Just people who realise just how limited he is
Fair point well made.
Just goes to emphasise how inept he was.
He's so bad he gave Charlton a late penalty to equlise at 2-2 when we should have had a free kick for a foul on Ajayi. In another fixture he also sent Grady Diangana off with a straight red instead of Nathan Ferguson before the linesnoun put him right. That's just two instances off the top of my head.
Old adage of one game at a time is still the right way to look at it IMV. Everyone expects us to beat Rotherham tonight but you only have to look at the upsets last night to Norwich, Leeds, Leicester to understand that nothing is guaranteed in this league.
Best case scenario we get the top six spot wrapped up by this weekend, but we have to beat Rotherham first to give ourselves the opportunity.
I'm expecting more than a few gaps in the crowd for this one. No disrespect to Rotherham (while automatically sounding disrespectful) but an already relegated side on a probably wet Wednesday night for an 8pm red button fixture won't be of much appeal to some in our season ticket base.
On the flip side I thought Rotherham did very well to keep us at arms length for much of the game at their place. And let's be honest, the pressure is very definitely off their players and you rarely know what you're going to get in this division.
Here's hoping the players keep their concentration and the crowd doesn't get restless if we're not 2 up in the first fifteen minutes. Although it would be appreciated I am not expecting a complete walkover and imagine Rotherham will keep us honest so patience will be required.
I think forner Viler Andre Green is still injured and really want the pantomime villain/donkey that is Jordan Hugill to miss out. I struggle emotionally seeing him on a football pitch and knowing what might have been. That and he comes across as an utter b'end of course.
COYB.
I am wondering whether the introduction of Johnston, whilst him being a good offensive player, has actually meant we are far poorer defensively. I'd trace back our new-found fragility back to QPR away/Cov at home which coincides with Johnston breaking in to the team.
I know Phillips has been out for a long time, but the work he did off the ball in a defensive sense really contributed to us being tough to beat, I wonder if his re-introduction could be key to us being a better defensive unit again. It would feel harsh to leave Johnston out but maybe that's what's needed. Or perhaps there's a way Phillips can do that work from the right hand side and we reconstruct the side accordingly.
It could just be mental and physical wear and tear and there's no merit to Johnston being detrimental to our defensive setup but the timeline matches.
It does seem that whenever we do something good it’s “Corberan is a tactical genius, whose little clever little tweaks are responsible”. Likewise, when something goes wrong it’s “ah well, the players are absolutely terrible, Corberan is overachieving”
Personally, think he’s done about par for the squad we’ve got.
I know I’ll get pelters for this but unless we get promoted I personally wouldn’t be averse to the new owner bringing in his own man for next season.
I shall be there at BET365 Saturday and hope we put a strong team out and the performance is good in BOTH half’s.Rather than the players taking their foot off the gas, we have had games against sides with something to play for and they have both pushed hard for a result.
It seems, being virtually guaranteed a play-off spot, players have taken their foot of the pedal in the last few games - maybe subconsciously saving themselves for the play-offs.
Hey Hull, its the radio i specifically want but thanks for the info
If you actually live in Hull, do you know of an area called Gypsyville?
Feels like today’s big and there is potential for a big swing. Win and results go our way, it’s looks like the play offs are pretty much secured. If we don’t and results go against us the position looks a lot more precarious.
Hi guys, I can’t get to the match today,I’ve tried buying a match day radio pass to no avail,keeps coming up 404 .
