Tbf kyogo no context needed it’s been a rubbish signing like alot of birminghams

You can still be a very good performer in a underperforming/poor team

Yep today once again shows me defence isn’t the issue

C is adequate not good we will agree to disagree for me good signings have been McLaughlin miller morishita gudjohnsen Alebiosu but in comparison terms compared to last season the squad as a whole has been downgraded on

Who has said the majority have been good?

All about opinions will agree to disagree on this one

To date yes - I think batth was massively aided by hyam and the fact McLaughlin doesn’t have that experience beside him and he’s that man then yes all things considered I do again as I wrote at the beginning we are joint 7th best defence in the league (doesn’t feel like it but we are) he has been the main stay in that defence with others dropping in and out with injury so I’d say given all that he’s at least on a par with batth 100%

Hull also have owners in which the fans certainly wouldn’t be endeared to

Why would it say a lot? We were willing to sell our best cb and captain on the cheap doesn’t mean they were poor players

A narrative that he’s good enough for champ or rovers level. Mason burstow perfect example 2 goals in 30 champ last year but doing well in league one. There is a big jump in quality

Iv seen plenty online bring up Leonard recently because he’s on a good run

Don’t buy into this growing narrative at all regarding Leonard. would I have preferred a loan move yes absolutely but he isn’t the answer for us hopefully he continues his good form seems a doing genuine lad

With context yes if we compare to last season then it’s a fail which I agree it should never have come to this and we have downgraded in most positions however without comparing to last season and just looking at ‘this seasons squad’ and how they have performed for us given where they have come from I think as stated about 50% of the signings have been average or above still a failure on last season mind you but more treating my grading on their own merit

And I think McLaughlin is of equal measure

Again all subjective Totally disagree on McLaughlin and miller - they aren’t nesta and maldini but are more than capable at this level and both have been better than steady this season but certainly not perfect batth is done seems he’s done an Ayala and just form fell off a cliff after a good season the rest we are similar on
