Loved seeing that from Kitching. Just stayed within the rules and looked after his keeper.

Slow starts are in our DNA. Sheaf getting an injury is set in stone. Los blocks continue to stump us. We’re so predictable.

Glad I didn’t pay good money to watch that 0-0!

Rushworth looks like the best keeper we’ve had in quite some time. McBurnie is still a prick

Clean sheet is a solid start, but we need to be more ruthless in the final third

In that defence Rushworth looks like the only one with his head switched on.

Couldn't watch bar the last few minutes, looked as flat and ponderous as Stoke last season.

Overall play was at times very good but we had no answer to Hull's block and without a CF like Simms we were never going to get much from crosses. The ball didn't drop for us in the box on a number of ocassions but that's what you make of it. We need stronger attitude up front and determination...there are no gifts. Backline needs a new CB alongside Thomas. Sad day not to get 3 points. Southampton equally frustrated until late but they managed to get it done. We didn't.

I honestly think we could play with 10 man and no striker and we’d look no different.

Anti-climax... but, may turn out to be a blessing as it will make it clear to DK that we need to spend money if we are to challenge...

Positives:
Not a loss
Clean Sheet
Rudoni started as he finished last season. Looks good and hungry.
Rushworth made a couple of really good saves.

Negatives:
Still undone too easily with a long ball over the top.
It's was apparent all season last season and all pre-season, OUR FORWARDS ARENT GOOD ENOUGH! Simple as that! Not one of them could lace Gyokeres boots!
Sheaf injured AGAIN! Time to go. Free up his wages. Problem now is we won't find any buyers.
Set pieces from start to finish were shit. All too predictable and in to the keepers hands.
We, yet again, have no plan b when plan a fails.

We need something else beyond the very predictable crosses. We're so predicatble that the defence has plenty of time to organise.

Ooh I hope we carry on apparent pursuits of overpriced defenders when it’s our attack that truly needs addressing.

Gonna need a bit more from the elite tactician against sides that sit in than just 100 crosses per game.

Not going to judge though until the window shuts and we have our squad in place.

Think you’re gonna need to change the coach rather than the players for that I reckon.

JDS was ok. Better offensively than defensively. BTA sucked. Brau looked good. Get rid of Sheaf

That was pretty grim. Hull were well set up and we yet again could not break down a defensive side. There's absolutely no way Wright is ready to play, he didn't look right from the second he came on. Brau looked pretty hungry and up for it so looking forward to seeing more from him. Rudoni and JDS had good games.

I didn't like his kicking but that's a good debut. Mustn't let the dirty CFs get him into trouble

Played reasonably well, but not much point crossing high balls in when we haven't got a striker that can head a ball.
I think we will be ok, we are fighting for every ball.

The top scorer from WBA only scored 11 in that season. We've had the likes of Clinton Morrison with similar records.
