Seriously - why is this ref so reluctant to book the Hull players for the same niggly fouls he's consistently reached for his pocket to for Rovers? It absolutely dictates games - it neutered Garrett and Tronstadt.

Delap should be off.

Markanday is shit. There's a player in Garrett, but he's not a ball playing CM, which is what this system requires.

No. JDT wasn't allowed to bring in his own coaching staff.

WHY HASN'T HE BOOKED DELAP?!?!?!

Again, this is why we're throwing £500k at a CB - we're such a soft touch defensively.

Hyam is having a nightmare, he needs to be taken off. We also need to take Garrett off as both he and Tronstadt are scared to make a tackle now.

This ref is an absolute clown.

So why wasn't their #4 booked for that foul on Telalovic?

I think he's a #10 - but so are Szmodics, Moran and Markanday.

He's a bit of a luxury player, but he clearly has quality on the ball.

That goal is why it's so frustrating watching us try to walk the ball into the net / score the perfect goal. Just shoot - the GKs at this level aren't good enough to react to deflections.

Connolly has just taken out Hill - a referee who's booked three players for absolutely nothing has obviously completely missed it

Personally I think they've taken their two chances - one of which was gifted to them by Hill and Hyam. We've been the better team, they seem content to sit back and hit us on the break.

I assume he suddenly becomes very lenient once a player is on a yellow then.

Hull have got some fantastic Championship players.

How many reds?

This won't finish 11 v 11. Three players have been booked and not a single one was a yellow. PL ref by any chance?

The only manager I know of that would get this lot consistently singing a tune is Sir Alex Ferguson. How he won the league with his last Man United team is beyond me.

You have to rest players at some point.

Yeah it's a bit baffling, isn't it? He looks the part tonight.

The problem is the same 13/4 players have had to play for 2 months straight - regardless of form or fitness. Add to that we've had 2 games a week for a while, so the issue is compounded. Sport is often about momentum, when things start going bad for you, it's difficult to arrest that.

Fantastic save by their GK - ran into a Watford GK at the top if his game too last week. Just our luck.

LOL, sacking. They've given him zero resources. Even this middling Hull team have blown us out of the water in the transfer market - they've spent over £10m this year and backed the manager massively last year too.

I guess this is why we're trying to buy a CB in January - absolutely horrendous from both starting CBs tonight. Hull haven't created anything and they're 2-0 up.
