Fair result really. Just relieved we came away with something.

I thought Hull were half decent.

We're not going to make play offs, I don't think anyone really believes that, it too much to ask of this squad with O'Hare, Palmer, Sheaf and Allen out. That we're competing still and picking up points is a real credit to us.

2 games coming up that will more than likely offer 6 pionts ,today not a total disaster.
7 points from these three games is a good return.

I thought defensively Hull gave everything today and limited us to lots of half chances so all credit to them , wouldn't mind signing that seri

Hamer was brilliant first half, faded out in the second.

Eccles had a great game aswell. McNally looks strong as always. Dabo back to his best. Burroughs bright when he came on, is there anywhere he can’t play?

Vik while he didn’t score got an assist and Godden does what he does best, gets a chance and puts it away.

Wouldnt say anyone had a bad game today. Eccles my MOTM

Good to see him getting the ball in dangerous areas too , if we are being fair .

It's a big problem

Shame he missed the best chance

Spot on. You never know if we keep this little run going but injuries have killed us this season, not to mention pitch shambles

Great first half today (what the fuck was Neil - CWR on about 🤷‍♂️😂), disjointed after their goal for 15 mins but then came again. Entertaining game

Eccles was immense all over the pitch.

He deserved to get on the pitch at least today.

I think if Godden hadn’t scored he’d have been on. Maguire linked quite well when he came on to be fair. Howley was dead on his feet second half, he’ll come again though

Entertaining game, their keeper looked good.

Thought Wilson-Esbrand looked half decent attacking wise when he came on.
Eccles or McNally motm

From block 24 it looked like Howley dived for the penalty shout first half. Anyone from that end see it differently?

Felt a bit for Walker today. He looked on a real high at the end last week. Couldn’t see what others saw in Maguire. Eccles did really well.
It's not that Maguire was great, he just looked like he would offer more linking midfield to attack than Howley who isn't a 10, good and promising 6 or 8 but not a 10

3 players out who would have filled that role today. So many injuries in the middle, too much to ask of young Howley really.

Does feel a bit odd that he's given Howley that role when Burroughs is much further forward in his first team progression and came through playing in that sort of role.

I didn't see that much today but could still be rusty. I did feel for walker today tough would have liked to see him have a cameo.

Frustrating that, initially feels like 2 points dropped as I think we bossed much of the game but they packed their defence well. Formation change perhaps helped get the goal but we looked more exposed ourselves. On reflection perhaps a draw was fair.

Walker scored 1 goal that my granny would have scored …. And she’s been dead 20 years. He’s been shit for 2 years

From the posh seats, it looked like he was clipped on his ankle as he went into the box. Not seen a replay.
