Should have been consequences for the postponement too, but nope. Fuck Hull.

Kaminski made entirely the wrong decision there. As soon as I saw him moving to it I knew it was the wrong call. Foul though.

Yep. Had a feeling it was gonna be a 2er.

Gonna have a job. Probably has as much of a chance of getting on the pitch as I do.

Umm is that Ayala warming up? Wtf will that achieve?!?!?

I can see how it means the handball has no real effect on anything, no advantage to be gained as it would strike your body anyway. But there can't be a much more obvious movement of your hands.

Everything from the ref to the way the ball is bouncing tells me we are not winning tonight. Draw at best.

Gallagher got a great opportunity to go through on goal on his own there. The commentator just said 'Gallagher' quite calmly, as though it was just someone with normal possession in the middle of the pitch. He has clearly seen him play before.

Sadly, yes, it probably is.

We will revisit that at full time...

He has known he was signing us for at least a week...what's he been spending his time doing? He's on loan initially and it's mid January ffs, we can't wait weeks and weeks for him to play.

I'd rather be on the ICU ward.

Very good point. On top of which JRC is clearly risking injury by playing tonight.

Possibly 2-1 to us. The guy who stopped it on the line was the same one who should have been sent off for the penalty apparently.

I'm sure Khadra has guyliner on. Is that for the sky cameras?

Defenders returning, think they might have got in the way if he took another touch.

Khadra shot stopped on the line. Yep. Not our night.

That was a penalty all day, and yet I immediately knew we weren't getting it. Going to be one of those nights where we just come away with a sense of outrage, buckle up.

Has a feeling of a game where we will have severe injustice, because we should have mopped them up nearly a month ago. I suspect an injury or two, and/or a red card.

Knew there was a reason I had a bad feeling about this game.

It doesn't. But it will give them a boost. Sometimes the match is won in the mind, rather than on who is the better team. I've seen many better teams lose games.

No, one of them is inexperienced. Another is inexperienced at a decent level. The other has played in two of Europe's top flights.

You were hoping for a couple more in by now? We have recruited 3 new players and it's only halfway through January. This is already the most active Jan window I can remember in years. Normally it takes us until the last week to get anyone through the door. Sometimes the last day. Sometimes not at all. Agree with the rest of your post, but if anything I'm surprised we have players in already at all.

I'd have kept that to myself if I were TM, and kept Hull guessing whether we were going to play that animal at RB, or our scrawnier but more creative CM, which would give them a different threat to consider (as well as changing our midfield). I suppose they can still wonder over whether it's JRC or Buckley, but that's less of a difference.

Cool. Who is Patrick Barclay?
