Not signing Patrick Banford was a big mistake, scoring goals and playing again today, and he can hold the ball up.

Hull just lost at home to Stoke and drew with bloody Sheffield Wednesday. Everyone needs to pull themselves together, its a bit embarrassing on here tonight.
The management know we need help. We'll get it. We've still only lost 3 games all season.

It’s a ridiculous overreaction. We all knew this was going to be a tough period, throw in illness, Dasilva getting banned for 3 games, other injuries etc. yes, it’s a wobble yet we’re still 8 points clear of second and 9 of third with great GD.

Have to say I would probably not play Bidwell again unless we are in absolute dire straits and have no choice. He's really not very good. Certainly had his moments, but his time has come and gone. We want promotion so no sentimentality.

Brau makes Andy Spring look like Ashley Cole - how he’s allied near the squad is laughable. There is no sentiment - fuck him off back ti Spain

Take a breath, it was shite yes, but it's the busiest part of a long season. Some of you on here have the backbone of a bread stick. The sky caves in and we are doomed if we drop a few points. Others crow like we'd already won the league before Christmas. Equally as mad. We are in a promotion fight with considerably less tools as Ipswich and a bunch of other teams. We have done incredible to build a cushion but now we can use that to find some form again.

The thing that will do is in is lack of quality cover but thankfully we can address that and maybe Brau looking so out his depth, no cover for Tats and EmC and Grimes having a wobble might spur Doug into investing more to make a push in the new year.

None of that explains why Frank didn't make the changes everyone and his dog could see needed making.

Andrews wasn't tired, and another body in midfield instead of Wright who was a spectator upfront could of made the difference.

The equaliser was just a matter of time, and to do nothing is inexcusable.

He made the changes before they scored and we were getting control of the game. Just a terrible goal/bit of defending which doesn’t happen if KKH isn’t injured. Mainly us for last 20-25 mins without changing formation/set up. 20 shots / 7 on target even though it was admittedly not a great performance

Dasilva coming back will improve us massively.

He's very important to how we play and these three games have made that very clear. Brau and Bidwell not capable of doing what he does.

I think it's underestimated how much of our play goes through him.

Win you're home games and draw the away ones and you will be there abouts at the end of the season. No time to panic but that can't be your starting midfield if you want to stay at the top. Get the Blues game out the way and play the kids against Stoke so we're rested and hopefully have some bodies through the door for Leicester.

So basically because we're still top, we cant be pissed off at throwing away 2 points to one of the worst form teams in the division? A half decent team puts us to bed today. Thankfully Charlton are dog shit. Dog shit, yet still outplayed us today. But its ok because we're still top..... for now

Hull aren’t really flying in my opinion just when you think there on a good run they’ll go and lose

He didn't make the change to the set up that was needed, replacing one midfielder for another, and one FB for another, is useless when your being over run, and you have 2 strikers just watching procedings.

What was needed was an extra body in mf

Just going through one of those spells where it’s just not happening for us. Opposite to start of the season where everything was flying in

I thought the same at the time but other than letting in a terrible goal on the break we pretty much dominated last 20-25 minutes and created enough to win the game without putting an extra MF in there

Pretty much all Championship away games are hard, even for parachute teams to navigate.

The game today could quite easily have went either way.

This is just silly. You can blame a manager for poor tactics, squad selection, reactions with subs, not responding to the game with a plan B, etc in an individual game and not the want him sacked?

We dominated AFTER they equalised!

The way to win a game is not to throw away a winning position.

I get that it's disappointing considering how we've been playing earlier in the season. However, we've had a shit load of games in a short period with people ill and injured. Unfortunately we don't have the luxury of swapping players like Philogene and Clarke with each other every game. Look at every other team except Ipswich, and it's a struggle.

We'll be fine, despite what some of the knee jerkers say on here.

Absolutely fantastic point given an utterly appalling performance (one of the many I’ve predicted in the next half dozen games)
Grimes limitations when he’s pressed outside of the normal luxury of time he has largely been used to has come as a disappointment.

Wasn’t buying into the narrative of players not trying etc.

But the performance today was actually very evident of that. Lack of ideas, lack of drive, lack of ambition.

Two games in a row we’ve looked low in confidence and devoid of ideas.

Without that one error we’d have won - they offered no real threat
