Yeah pretty chastening that

[TameRacingDriver]

It needed to happen, that was a definitely reality check.

I hope things improve because if that was not a low point then we are in trouble. We looked pathetic.

[ellroy]

Need more bite to midfield, Big Joe can give that, but there was a huge gap between the back four and the front 4(6), Leeds played all their game in that space and the pressure was relentless as a result.

Schar has to come in at the weekend and Botman has to be benched.

[clarkmagpie]

Miley needs some time out as well.
Can't defend and offers zero creativity.

Or BDB as soon as possibly, is he off the sticks yet?

[ellroy]

Not seen other than at the GNR he seemed to be walking ok, but he’s not had even a run out yet. Schar has a few minutes under his belt.

[Xenoous]

We're getting mauled today, aren't we?

[Skyedriver]

"To Hull and Back" probably.
It'll be a Hull of an afternoon

or maybe Heaven & Hull?

TF it's not on TV I couldn't stand another Monday night screw up.

That’s highly likely on last showings, they look a decent team.

[TX1]

We can only hope the home crowd have some effect in the result.

Oly if they rush the pitch.

Alright Lenny Conroy calm down

[ellroy]

Nothing to do with us, but related to naughty boy type behaviour. Anyone else see this?

Naughty stuff. Applauds.

[DoctorX]

Sounds like we were lucky to hold onto that lead.

HTL

[TX1]

We nearly undone all the good work we had done in the first half, great result considering Monday's hiding and Hull's position in the league.

[fathomfive]

In the context of that horrible result at Leeds, a 2-1 win is a great result given how Hull have begun the season.

[ellroy]

I’d have taken your hand off for a win.

Not bad at all in the context of Monday & their showings thus far.

Get some of the more experienced lads back over the next week or two and perhaps we can start to move forward with a little more confidence.

[fathomfive]

This season will be a lot of ups and downs.

Gotta ride with it

[Patrick Bateman]

Let's make sure the attempted Cruyff turns at the byline by our number 1 are limited to 1 for the season...

Was more than a little scary.
Made a couple of good saves but doesn't inspire confidence. Again he has a habit of rolling out the ball to a defender which turns into an attack by the opposition. Think Botman forgot which side he was on yesterday too.
