Hull fans despise the owners, talking to some of them at the away game and I genuinely had no idea how bad they are till then.

The Downing leaving hysteria is a bit baffling. It does leave us a little bit thin on the ground, but as it stands we have a spare centre half in mulgrew anyway assuming the lineup at the back isn't changed on Saturday. We're obviously out of both cups so thst eases the strain on the squad slightly. I'd rather have Downing and Wharton out on loan playing first team football every week than not at all. We haven't sold them and will no doubt have a recall option should a crisis hit.

No shit sherlock, my point is are we trying to fit mulgrew in purely because he scores goals which glazes over his defensive frailties or do we just want to give up on the current young full back and put someone else there.

He'd get run ragged by any decent wide player, would offer nothing bringing the ball out of defence and wouldn't provide an overlap either. It's a ridiculous idea. Why are people even suggesting it?

Odd signing that, are we really scouting in Gibraltar? The standard of football is Sunday league at best, they aren't even pro players and all share the same ground

Mulgrew is nowhere near mobile enough to be playing as a full back these days, amazed people are even suggesting it.

Agree on this, he doesn't half frustrate me sometimes but he's only gonna get better if we persevere rather than benching him

In fairness he stopped a certain goal yesterday, firmly believe his work ethic rubs off on those around him too, we miss him not being on the pitch. But yeah agree with you really.

When you look at the teams above us and their form, it's not THAT stupid to dream of a play off spot, it really is wide open. If we don't do it hopefully Hull can, another team hampered by nob head owners. Pleased to see Rodwell doing well, not many of us were behind that signing.... Even more pleasing seeing Travis keeping his place.

I've not long got in from Ipswich after THE most horrendous journey home ever after being down there on business earlier, so for that reason alone they can feck off. 12-0 rovers

I'd be more worried about the defence than the attack tbh.

Ipswich and Norwich have a massive catchment area is his point I think. Next decent team is probably Luton or MK off the top of the head?

Erm no Sorry I'd had more than a few lagers What I actually meant is Rodwells composure on the ball would be good bringing the ball out the back rather than lumping balls to nobody. Bell would benefit from having another outlet too, I don't wanna get on the lads back but he was awful first half just spewing balls out of play. We NEED to master the art of possession football, its not hard but players like Rodwell make it ten times easier

I'm leaning towards a back 3 of mulgrew, Darragh and Rodders, with del boy the outlet from defence. Reminds me of Rio when he was decent and it'd be decent to have that option

DG warming up....

Yes I'm a stats nerd but I bet in play a lot. Last 15 could be interesting......

Tbf a hell of a lot of games start a bit cagey and scrappy like that and that's the nature of the game. People aren't half being dramatic, it wasn't THAT bad and we're not behind with that patched up defence. Some obvious weak points which hopefully will be addressed at HT

Bell needs a stern talking to at half time, if he keeps passing the ball to them it's gonna cost us eventually

Bell is having a stinker here, absolute bananas for boots

Around a thousand

Yeah as much respect as I have for TM, he comes across as a doddering fool at times

Have you ever said anything positive? We'll just get lenihan to break everyone's arm, one down already

Well he's not give much away in that interview apart from bemoaning injuries in defence and Graham being 33. Favouring nuttalls apparent mobility, we'll see

What an odd line up, look forward to his explanation on this one

In August, and we should have beat both as well even back then.
