Observations from today (2 Viewers)

[clint van damme]

Not had time to read the forum so apologies if I'm repeating things already mentioned:

1) thought the response team had a massively increased presence but it was folk in the new (jury's out) away shirt.

2) Never seen so many people sat in the safe standing as there were at the start of the 2nd half, even when we started the 2nd 45 on the front foot they didnt get up, was really weird.

3) opening game, big expectation, 29k, we've come a long way, but can we stop all this nonsense about extending the ground, we definitely don't need it

4) round of applause for Kasey Palmer, fucking weird to say the least.

5) liked the midfield configuration, not sure how it will work away and thought Lampard might bring captain shitebag back in next week but that's not going to happen now so be interesting to see how it works our

Forget buying another centre half, a striker and a winger. king get your purse out and go rescue Hamer. We have missed someone who can put that defence splitting pass or go past a player in midfield since he left and that what we are missing

Need a forward who thrives from crosses BTA is not that, not sure Hadji is either!

The crossing today was dreadful, doesn’t matter who’s up front when the quality of delivery isn’t there

 

[Matt smith]

Thought the Palmer clapping was extremely weird

considering he was bang average at best

0-0 and fans are clapping Kasey Palmer

A good #9 can time a run to make a "bad" cross a chance- worthy cross.
We done have a good one

Posted this on another thread;
Agree about Haji off the left - he's far better there.
Disagree with original poster about a new forward having the same impact.
Neither Wright/Simms/BTA have a strikers/finishers instinct or a natural positional sense that a good #9 has. None of them can time runs into the box and none of them are a "static" handful (eg -able to be strong and hold off an opponent in the challenge/with back to goal/off a direct ball)
A good #9 is needed to suit our style of play.

 

[clint van damme]

Our forwards don't suit our system.
Don't think the necessary changes will happen this window but it needs to be the focus of the next one.

That will be about 30 games wasted.

Probably.

Yeah there were loads of people I've not seen before in the corner.

I went from being appalled by how ludicrously bright it is in real life to actually fancying getting one. I can't be trusted

He to be fair has conned a living out the game. He was lauded on this forum by certain posters.

He’s crap and a soldier of his own fortune

It was honestly a complete joke

0-0 and you’re getting ridiculed for not clapping

should have been the opposite

yet fans boo o hare

Quite frankly ridiculous

 

[Sky Blue Wozza]

I didn’t mind the Palmer applause and joined in. Guy had a terrible experience whilst playing for us and like to think that the us and the club stuck up for him.

 

[Matt smith]

If we’re ever playing grimsby in a cup game I hope Charles vernam gets the same reception

 

[clint van damme]

He was shite @Grendel

I completely agree

he was Messi according to some delusional members of this fan base

People clapping him but booing O'Hare make me question my believe in free speech.
Some peoples opinions need censoring!

What?!

 

[Otis]

My observations from today is that it is only one game into the season and everyone needs to bloody chill out a bit.

I had a terrible experience watching him waddling round the pitch stealing a living every week

 

[ajsccfc]

That showbiz fire thing when the teams came out, I could feel heat from that from halfway up the stand off towards the corner. If anyone sits near the front, bring marshmallows next game

I thought that was Palmer coming on?

 

[clint van damme]

It’s a joke Clint

and more funny than your party’s gag @clint van damme

You've lost me. (Not difficult!)

I fucking hate all this Americanised shite

Haha it was a while back you made a spelling gag

But honestly today really wound me up, I got pelters for shouting what’s the clapping for

show some respect I think was the line

I would if he was even half decent

I was clapping because I was absolutely fucking delighted Hull were bringing him on. Shite.

 

[pusbccfc]

Very quiet, like the large parts of last season until the end.

We miss how deadly Matty Godden was. BTA needs 400 shots to get 2 goals, Matt needed 1 or 2

 

[Jamesimus]

What terrible experience did Palmer have?

I appreciated some of his skills and maverick nature of his style of play. However, he was hardly the consummate professional and struggled with the “being an athlete” part of his job, which is like, the main part…

Not at the end he didn't. Couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo.

The racism v them knuckle dragging Yorkshire idiots.
We backed him well, he moved on, we moved on, ridiculous reason to say we should have clapped him today.

 

[Gint11]

Anyway. Could be worse, could be Sheffield United

Maybe but lack of game time probably contributed

And when he's on the opposition you realise he's a bit of a sly prick too.

Maybe, but personally I think he was done at Championship level. This season might prove me wrong

Oh yeah, I’d almost forgotten about that
