Yeah I was just going to post the similarity in approach.
Yeah I was just going to post the similarity in approach.Hughes is a good player. Hull have decided that with everything stacked against them in the summer that the best way to attack the season was to really go for it. They are incredibly open but i doubt they'd be any higher playing to shut up shop every game and this is probably more fun for the fans. Could argue we do similar but obviously to better effect and with more cohesion. I'm not sure he'd improve our defence massively immediately.
Only if he's good enough for the prem. If he's not then we've got to buy again.It’s not your money, why are you so arsed? If we went up and spend 12-14 million on him it would mean fuck all if we went up
Either someone near the relegation zone or otherwise, top end of L1.Who should we send agent Bidwell to?
Blues or some other pretenders?
About time we had a clean sheet...whens our last one? Blackburn early October?Hull havent had a clean sheet since the opening day .. against us

Missed one.Stoke last month.
Not good enough but we're top of the league and we still have the joint most clean sheets in the division. I sure hope we hit 'good enough' levels by the standards of this forum soon.Missed one.
Still its really not good enough..one clean sheet in last 8 or so games.
Conceded 9 goals in our last 5 games. Leaves us with mountain to climb.I guess if we stayed more compact at the back it would effect our forward play .. you have to tske the rough with the smooth
A clean sheet we should have got us a win vs Preston against 10 men.Not good enough but we're top of the league and we still have the joint most clean sheets in the division. I sure hope we hit 'good enough' levels by the standards of this forum soon.
The defending at Wrexham is easily explained by the number of changes, but even if it wasn't, we will concede shit goals. We're a Championship team and we play a style where we can be got at but really cannot be argued with given the results and just generally being a fun watch for the fans. I'll take this over Burnley-ball every day of the week.A clean sheet we should have got us a win vs Preston against 10 men.
We shoukd have ground out a 1 nil win..like we did at Stoke.
Our style of play is amazing. But we have started to leak lots of goals...Our defending at Wrexham was borderline pathetic.
A general drop off in application all over the pitch, both attack and defence really. Then once they equalised we never wrestled it back.Ironically the mistake at PNE was in not staying on the attack to finish the game off.
Last two games the opposition keeper has been MOTM which says all you need to know really.A general drop off in application all over the pitch, both attack and defence really. Then once they equalised we never wrestled it back.
It’s plenty good enough if you’re top of the league by a clear margin. Our approach is often pretty gung ho, there are risks and trade-offs that are a part of that. It’s an acceptable price to pay if you have the goalscoring ability that this team has.Missed one.
Still its really not good enough..one clean sheet in last 8 or so games.
I think Ipswich deserved their win in the end, fine margins and it plays out very differently if we go 1-0 which we would have done if their goalie didn't pull off a worldie. It happens, it's not an easy fixture. I even think Preston deserved their point really from a battling with 10 men for so long point of view. Deepdale is just cursed. Bristol is a big fixture though, we could do with just the talk of a 'wobble' going away and 3 home points would do nicely.Last two games the opposition keeper has been MOTM which says all you need to know really.
My point is there’s all this melodrama over two games where the oppo keeper has had to play brilliantly, while the referee’s had to cheat in one of them and we’ve carried fitness issues etc etc. They are frustrating results but for now it’s blown out of proportion by some.I think Ipswich deserved their win in the end, fine margins and it plays out very differently if we go 1-0 which we would have done if their goalie didn't pull off a worldie.

Yes I agree. I think some people just like some drama.My point is there’s all this melodrama over two games where the oppo keeper has had to play brilliantly, while the referee’s had to cheat in one of them and we’ve carried fitness issues etc etc. They are frustrating results but for now it’s blown out of proportion by some.
Doesn't that depend on how you look at things, especially as we're at the nitty gritty point of our season,we have to work with what we have don't we?Not good enough but we're top of the league and we still have the joint most clean sheets in the division. I sure hope we hit 'good enough' levels by the standards of this forum soon.

Soon eaten away though?What mountain to climb? We're still top of the mountain - stop being dramatic
Soon eaten away though?
Other teams will have hard months.Soon eaten away though?
Other teams will have hard months.
It we beat Ipswich at home then our games have cancelled each other out.
Southampton will be hard but they could be fearing us just as much as we will be worrying about them (2 bad results don't make us a bad team)
Bristol City we should be winning and I hope we do so that we can stop the negative narrative
In our last 14 games we've won 11, drawn 1 lost 2. We've won games because of the goals our defenders score.Missed one.
Still its really not good enough..one clean sheet in last 8 or so games.
That's very true. It's disappointing from the season we have been having, but realistically we are going to slip up occasionally. We built the cushion to be able to afford slip ups.The 2 results aren't even that bad considering one was against a newly relegated Prem team & the other wasn't even a defeat but a draw at a team that's not doing too bad in the league - expectations are so high because of the standards that have been set so far this season that even a draw away is deemed as a poor result (albeit playing v a 10 man team)
Scored 10 though. We're winning the league!!!!!Conceded 9 goals in our last 5 games. Leaves us with mountain to climb.
This is where performances need to be judged rather than the results. The results are overall, quite negative but the performances in both games were quite good.The 2 results aren't even that bad considering one was against a newly relegated Prem team & the other wasn't even a defeat but a draw at a team that's not doing too bad in the league - expectations are so high because of the standards that have been set so far this season that even a draw away is deemed as a poor result (albeit playing v a 10 man team)
I’m not. We created the same xG against Boro and scored 4 goals (1.95 xG).More worried about the goal drying up than clean sheets tbh
Having watched back the match I think he was extremely unlucky for the one from Saka's ball, did just about everything right.I’m not. We created the same xG against Boro and scored 4 goals (1.95 xG).
It didn’t help that Haji missed 2 big chances in the first half. It’s annoying that he’s missed big xG chances a lot.
I probably need to rewatch it, my seats were v low down so my perspective was pretty skewed for the first half.Having watched back the match I think he was extremely unlucky for the one from Saka's ball, did just about everything right.
