Match Thread Coventry City vs Hull City (H) - Match Thread - Sat 29th August (3pm KO) (1 Viewer)

The refs timekeeping is awful. He let them waste a load of time and corners and throw it and then blows exactly on 95

But we could play for another 95 minutes and not score

Shite. Still early days. We won’t be seeing the best from this group of players for a few more games imo.
 
This was a must win as all the games against the bottom teams are if we have any chance of staying up this season.
This is a huge blow and a big knock to the confidence.
I’m normally very optimistic but already concerned as to how the season will go, none of the new players Amenda aside have shown anything to impress.
 
I feel like some of the context is way off. You don't write players off after one or two games so it is important to remember that, but we have failed to beat Hull at home, and we are in the Premier League now. It's a shit result which reflects a lukewarm performance.

There are players we have signed who have cost us a lot of money and frankly their output wasn't good enough. Yirenkyi was poor first half but grew into it. Tchaouna seems to have divided opinion but I don't see what he really offered for most of it. Some of the old guard are stepping up, others who looked top draw last year are struggling at this level. MvE and Grimes being the most obvious.

It's all relative as it is very early in the season so it hopefully won't be relevant in a few weeks, but it is hard to sit here and listen to people say certain players were good when they simply weren't. If we want to stay up we have to do better than today. There's a few players in the staring 11 that were underwhelming and couldn't argue if they were replaced for the next match.

Frustrating start to life back in the PL.
 
The worst possible result
Fair play to hull
Taiwo should have made way for simms at 80 but I’m not sure we would have scored

Poor poor goal to give away
Hamer utterly impotent

Yep. There will be a lot who claim not to be sober etc, but this is hammer blow. Uphill struggle to survive now.

Just no cohesion in the team and new signings not showing they can step up to the PL either except Amenda

Fucking dispiriting afternoon to say the very least. Hull genuinely felt a level above us. They had a plan and executed it perfectly. We had a plan that clearly wasn't working and kept trying it as if something different would happen.

This season's going to be shit, isn't it
 
Man City rack up a cricket score against this, that’s a given.

The question is how many Brighton wish to declare on afterwards.
 
This is embarrassing. Did we think we'd just turn up, pass it around a bit, and they'd roll over?

At the moment we look like we're a pretty passing team with fuck all fight in us. Got exactly what we deserved.

Felt almost identical to our home game against these last season .

Tried to cross all game and never tried anything different , not sure what lampard thought was going to happen after the 30th failed cross

Subs were a game killer too tbh
 
Just didn't create anywhere near enough in what is the easiest game of the season.

Subs absolutely killed us.
 
The substitutions killed us way too many changes in similar positions

Fixtures as they are, it’s going to be zilch after 3 games. I saw a lot of Burnley last season with a stale atmosphere etc and we will be close to that. It’s the confidence of fans as well as players that has been hit.
 
Fck me first game back in the PL, there’s a few empty seats. Guess it is Bank Holiday Monday though!
Anyone know how Leicester got on today against the mighty mk dons. No one seems to report on league one as its just a league full of dross ?
