Just back from the game and to be honest it feels like a defeat. We desperately need someone who can carry the ball on the counter. It's possibly the slowest squad I've seen. Hull also the worst team I've seen us play and that is very much 2 points dropped.
Great to see Pearson back and I think Rudoni and Lowton could get something going down that right side.

I'm not the one working myself up into a state because others have the temerity to have a different opinion to me. You can't handle anyone disagreeing with you. And your "big man" act is pathetic. Pretty sure it's a previously antagonising poster under a new guise. Block him. Much easier. |

Just seen the equaliser. Such poor defending. It's not great for the header to come in to start with but whoever the defender was in the middle, Lees or Helik I'm not sure, just runs past the ball. Utter shite and another simple defensive error. Simple defensive error, 10 seconds away from 3 league wins in 4. We may have set up negatively but if we’d have ‘gone for it’ and conceded it would’ve been the exact same people saying we were naive to not sit back. He can’t win. |

For their goal there is no-one within a mile of the lad launching the ball forward. All our players are in our own half. That’s what happens when you just sit back. I don't think there is a team in the country that doesn't have 11 men behind the ball at 1-0 up after 96 minutes Maybe, but not after 23 minutes against a team there for the taking and whose crowd was already booing them |

I think there's a bit of black and white thinking going on at the moment.
In terms of tactics, there is a middle ground between gung-ho attacking and defending your box. No one is saying we should be playing out and out attacking football, particularly away from home with a lead to protect.
However, there is a difference between playing sensibly to protect a result away from home, and simply sitting deep and inviting the opposition onto you. You can't just defend. You have to offer some sort of threat to the opposition.

Time to roll the dice and get rid of this inept clown in charge because that second half was unforgivable. 3 games in a row he has shoved 11 behind the ball to defend a 1-0 lead and every single time it hasn't worked. If I kept making the same mistakes in my job I would be fired.
Hull fucking City and we made them look like 1970 Brazil in that second half because we were frightened to death of conceding. What an absolute shit show of tactics this guy is producing. Dog awful

That's nonsense. We sat back all half & Hull controlled it & got a deserved equaliser. We're in the bottom 3 because we constantly employ these negative tactics. We are bottom 3 because we are not good enough. A team that has to rely on Ruffles and Boyle deserves to be bottom 3. Ruffles played decent today ( I agree he's not up to it though) I disagree re Boyle, proved a lot wrong |

However, there is a difference between playing sensibly to protect a result away from home, and simply sitting deep and inviting the opposition onto you. You can't just defend. You have to offer some sort of threat to the opposition. You can be positive and simply cut down the time the opposition have the ball near your goal. A goal up means you are not required to score again but the first rule of defending is to keep the ball as far away as possible, for as much time as possible from your goal. Its not gung ho, its not even committing too many men too far up, but it is everyone trying to be as far from our own goal as is possible. Might be 10 yards, might be 20 yards further up as a team. Truth is leaving a player or two further up stops 3 or 4 opponents joining in and penning you in, without either of the two actually doing much. Positive isnt always full blown, not with a lead anyway. |

How did Bilokapic do in goal today?
Do we think he could do a job for us?

Also, although the defending was poor for their goal, it's not how we defended that situation in itself that I have a problem with, it's the fact we gave them the ball to put it in like that for 75 minutes. Eventually one goes in. |

How did Bilokapic do in goal today? Do we think he could do a job for us? Did well. Not the best distribution. You can see straight away that he is miles better than Schofield, much more composed. BUT would be a disaster waiting to happen to rely on him to keep us up though, with the clubs future at stake. Not good for anyone to put that much pressure on a young lad, especially not as he is a goalie. If he loses his confidence it can get very ugly. |

A 97th min goal conceded that makes today feel like a defeat instead of an away point.
Throw in a WUM and the board goes to shit as usual.
Still in with a shout for safety though. We’re not going to become an attractive side to watch any time soon though, that’s the problem when you have zero points to play with.
Ask yourself when was the last season when we were clocking up the GF column, you’ll probably need to go back 40+ years, with the odd season in between when we’ve had a striker score 20+ goals.
Town are what they are, there’s not been too many seasons without drama in the last good while. We rarely do mid-table mediocrity.
UTT!!!

An experienced keeper is being brought in, Fotheringham confirmed in the press conference after the game. |

How's the first half been for you? How's the second half been for you? Seconds from a hard earned 3 points. Better than a lot of games I have watched this season. |

Give this squad of players to a Warnock or a Wilder and that just doesn’t happen. We aren’t very good, but this dire approach is making us perform even worse. Been in the bottom 3 for five months now. Do you not think that the dropping deeper is as much to do with the nervous players as the coach? Of the 7 subs one was a defender, one keeper, a defensive midfielder and 4 attacking players. The team hung on trying to keep the points and the ref played the 6 minutes and then another 3. 9 minutes added on time. If we had hung on it would have been a great defensive performance. Bloody fine lines. |

I feel gutted. Football can be a cruel game. We let them have possession and comfortably dealt with everything they tried until the last kick of the game.
Some folk on here can be so scathing.
I still believe and am keeping the faith

Bloody fine lines. It is fine lines. But the problem is, I don’t think he has the experience or the tactical acumen for the players to trust him. So they defaulted to dropping deep rather than being brave, which is what a difference coach might have encouraged them to do. |

Didn’t go today and don’t have ifollow so won’t see next week’s game either and tbh, I’m not that fussed presently. I feel we have the players in place to keep us up but not the coaching staff. We required 4 points as a minimum from 3 games before a ball was kicked today, 6 ideally. The games are reducing week on week and the points are slipping away.

Well if you like 11 men behind the ball waiting for the inevitable fair enough. Personally I like to see us compete with shite sides in our own division, not treat it like a cup tie v Man City. |
