v Hull City (H) - 19/08/2023

[Iceman]

Venkys Out

[DE.]

Not like us to be this poor at home in fairness. We often have some insipid starts but today we look terrible.

The red card is a disaster. I'd rather Pickering let the lad go and risk a goal than leave us with 10 men for 70 plus minutes. 

[BigBar]

Pickering is the weak link. Every team targets him.

poor team selection, but its also an indication how lack of investment is going to hurt us this season

Who else do you play? - it's slim pickings throughout the squad.

Pickering is overrated anyway

Who should have started? If you say Gilsenan then that's a very, very brave call - he's got one senior start (and appearance I think). We're bereft of options upfront. 

Home against Hull is a fairly decent game to get your next start as a young player. And a better option than Dolan. Full-backs getting over-run (yet again) means it barely matters anyway.

How did the red happen?

Hull attacker through on goal, Pickering hauled him down. No complaints on the red from me.

Bought the match pass in Menorca, still won't allow me to watch the game.

I would have had Ennis starting for me and Leonard on the wide left.  Not ideal, but I rate Dolan so low that in my eyes it is a huge improvement.

I honestly think Dolan is the worst player in this squad by some margin.

Probs for the best mate.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

At least we have plenty of pace up top so we can sit deep and play on the break🤦🏻‍♂️

True.  Everyone thinks he’s crap, but he’s really much worse than that.

No shots at all from us in the first 30mins

[BankEnd Rover]

We know Ennis can’t play a full 90, but he has to start ahead of Leonard!! 

[Iceman]

Does Dolan and Pickering have nudes of JDT? 

[yellowsubmarine]

We have a manager whos an ex striker yet we are so poor at taking shots.

His passing is all over the place. 

[ItsRoverZ]

This is honestly fucking dreadful, you play like this against Southampton or Leicester you'd be very lucky to keep it from going double digit scoreline 

[Iceman]

Our defense aint that bad all things considering, BUT, we really need to find some attacking threats, because its becoming silly now to expect us to keep hoping we can contain the opposition. 

Something is going to give soon, either JDT walks, Broughton Walks, or we sign some players.
