    What the hell are their mascots? They look like a horror version of Rosie & Jim

    Fixtures wise we're fucked

    It certainly feels like a relegation season to me. It was right to shift players not up to the standard (Shipley, Jones and so on) but it's probably come at the cost of some team spirit and unity, and the squad looks paper thin and, arguably, unbalanced. Two games a week will ruin us.

    Robins rumours

    It's from a twitter handle called Slow Sports News, who post rumours and announcements from previous years as if they're currently happening, and because people don't / can't read properly they get all antsy and react like idiots to it.

    Apparently he's on 60k a week. Approaching Doyle levels there.

    Players that left due to finances

    Didn't Bobby Gould once resign because he believed Ndlovu was about to be sold behind his back? Or have I imagined that?

    The midfield just looks so weak. Gaps all over the shop. Part of it can be explained by a lack of match fitness and sharpness, but there are really worrying signs. It's almost like we're treading water until our talisman comes back.

    I almost wonder if this selection was MR making a point to the owners / board.

    I suppose, looking on the bright side, we've been fairly shit so far this season but haven't been battered yet. Get a couple of wins on the board and it'll all feel better.

    He's a 6 out of 10 player almost every week, with the odd 5 and the odd 7. Not as dynamic as recent players in that position, which is possibly why some people don't like him.

    The midfield is non-existant. Good job Hamer isn't playing, he'd have been sent off by now.

    There's no movement, loads of long balls, passes to no-one. We've got to be better here.

    I know this is a ridiculous over-reaction this early on, but it almost has the same feeling as the relegation season to me. A complete lack of squad depth.

    Eccles doing better so far. And he whips in a great cross as I write that.

    Match Thread ⚽️ Hull City vs Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 27th Aug

    I suppose, trying to be positive for a moment, Hull have a fair bit more match sharpness than us, so it did take a while before we started to get into the game. And we scored two goals despite being somewhere between shite and average at various points in the game. The defence looks a real...

    Other than the first 15 minutes, we've been well in the game. Three sloppy goals to concede. Worrying.
