Is it me or has his demeanour changed in this Interview? Has he had some good news?

The latest issue is who is going to play RWB/RB with Alebiosu heading to Afcon? With more CM options I assume it’d be TGH. But if he’s injured, God knows. Even moving Miller to RWB/RB wouldn’t work given we have no centre backs.

Pickering to centre-back left hand side, Miller to right-back?

Alebiosu wasn't picked for the final Nigeria squad.

But thousands have already walked away over 15 years. They are still here! 

Maybe it's time for the remaining few to do the same then.

One thing I like about him is he speaks with honesty. He thinks we can win Millwall and I like the positivity from him there. Just have to support him and the players.

[Paul Mellelieu]

I think with a few key players back we can start winning more games, as VI says.

 

We really are down to bare bone at the moment.

He is in the squad of 28.

Cost us a good few goals this season has McLoughlin. He must be stunned he's starting every game at the club given he was in and out the side for most of his Hull career at the same level and for the most finished below us.

We've been downgraded majorly in the air at the back and unsurprisingly it's costing us against even the poorest teams...

The neglected facilities and a defence that looks worse than Oxford's is all on the owners, Suhail Pasha and Rudy Gestede. We are fumbling our way to the January transfer window just about, a window in which you could sell half their summer recruits.

Not good enough, and we can't even criticise the manager for poor results since he hasn't been given the basic tools to do his job.

The season's been a farce and has scared away another 2,000 or 3,000 more fans. As I said after the Wednesday game, they don't deserve any fans in the ground, not at the prices they're charging to watch a mess of a team that hasn't received enough investment. It's sad to see.

QPR, Sheffield Wednesday and Oxford at home have been truly horrendous to attend. Shame on the club.

I'm not enjoying going to games and expect this to be my last season.

If you're going to play Morishita this deep, get Baradji on for him.

Why wasn't Baradji on from the start, hes better than half of these fairies.

Tavares off for Baradji. About time

Ismaels a wa-nker, Tavares is shite, Baradji should have been on from the start.

Okay... someone tell me why Baradji didn't come on 30 minutes ago?

We've got a brain dead manager.

It'll be touch and go! Incredible if our away form saves us.

Home form will of course be down to our poor support!

Our home form, will put us in league 1, terrible 1 win in 9.

Baradji has had a major injury and hasn't played properly for months. He's going to be important, I wouldn't be criticising on that count.

He's had surgery on his foot. If you were expecting him to start after the international break you were misguided.

He's barely started training again by the sounds of it. 

He started training on the 16th of November and has featured 4 times. It was Ismael who said we could expect to see him after the international break. And yet a month after he started training we still can’t risk starting him for 60 minutes, even with an injury crisis. 

[roversfan99]

I wonder with Cantwell back whether Ismael will be tempted to go back to a back 4. The change was made when Cantwell got injured and initially it worked really well for 3 games but not so much since. Cantwell has to play but im not so sure it suits him as much, and it also would lack balance if we had both him and Miroshita with just one proper midfielder doing all the work, even if its Tronstad.

The issue is, the squad is so horribly imbalanced and full of crap whichever way we play. The defence is a bombscare, Miller is poor, McLoughlin is below average and Pratt has done remarkably well for a young lad who was at Chorley a month ago but I dont think honestly he is at the level yet. 

We also have the issue of right back with Alebiosu about to leave for AFCON. And with Hedges out, we dont have any competent options whether its left wing back or left wing.

That and we have only scored 19 goals 

as much as he complains about injuries we have had our front line available all season and all we can score is 19! The lowest of the league

Tell you what Baradji can hit a ball where on earth did that come from??
