No, I think not

I was working in Portsmouth pre/post Christmas. They also have a clay substrate that water basically sits on top of, this causes water to basically just sit there and cause mischief. The substations there fill up real quick.... They're also full of shit.

I mean Hull can't do that can they? It has to be the refs decision right?

Was it, I think everyone thought it was. Even the Hull players... Who called it off then?

Wasn't Hull due to safety, specifically the for the lino as the bit that they would have been running on was frozen? Basically the ref being over zealous in the pursuit of safety.

We looked and performed almost exactly as we have since December!

Can't legislate for that tbh.

Heard today that it's has been the wettest Jan in 140 odd years (possibly this applies to NI). Shit happens sometimes, can't windmill and look for something to blame all the time. How bad is the pitch, have wee seen it yet?

I've not seen it since the day but I think he steps across and blocks him off, he tries to get out the way but up ends him. Not seen the game back as fuck seeing any of that again.

I was amazed this wasn't given tbh. Looked pretty stone wall to me, stepped across the lad didn't he?

I can only think fatigue and injuries has now resulted in a complete lack of confidence/belief. Torp has regressed to the Torp that arrived a few seasons ago, not the guy that thrived at the end of last and the beginning of this season. He really looked sharp on and off the ball. Now he looks...

I think they had a game plan so sit in and soak up pressure and hit on the break or at set pieces, a tactic that is serving them in the Prem currently. Whereas we were genuinely very good and are now genuinely very shite. Here's to hoping that re can reset and get back ok track. Viva la...

That's a no then

Defenders do not like being turned and running towards the goal, maybe if Bobby can get tighter it doesn't go in, once we loose the ball and let them work it out wide and knock it in under zero pressure you're at risk. We are way to open, zero pressure on the ball, not tight etc. this is from...

Going into the playoffs on relegation form would be... ahem, fun 😪

The defence may have been in shape but they're all running back towards goal, that puts them at a disadvantage. Prior to that not having anyone put pressure on the ball allows 3 or four unchallenged simple passes and the free cross onto the box allowed near pinpoint accuracy. Decent finish too...

Was there a conclusive angle?

To be fair I think he does this after about 10 minutes of pointless passing around at the back due to lack of options.

That's harsh... Pre December he performed well. Now the whole lot are a bit shit due to a loss of form.

It is probably tactical, it's probably also a lack of something (form, confidence or whatever) that has shown us up the last batch of games. In game management needs to be better. I've often found myself inwardly shouting "run you cunts" but also thinking where the fuck is the midfield.
