Hulls back line are absolutely shitting themselves every time Wright or Simms get the ball.

How many clubs has Ryan Giles played for against us now?

Sometimes managers are overly protective of footballers , they're the fittest specimen on the planet ..are you saying Thomas is fine but all the attackers aren't? Let's be real

They really aren't.

They are certainly supremely fit, and finely-tuned for what they do.... but in scientific measures (taking VO2 Max as an example), an average Premier League footballer (let alone in the leagues below) isn't particularly exceptional compared to other sports.

They aren't immune to being knackered.

And away against the top half. 8 defeats away against the top 12 by a single goal



Always been Robins style though. Get to Half time in touching distance and then let the handbrake off. 64% of our goals this season scored in the 2nd half of games.

If Eccles could put in a decent cross we'd prob have scored a few by now

Interesting thing about that is that it doesn't seem to make a difference to our goals conceded when we go for it and score more.

And I would also say I've always found it mystifying. You have 90 minutes to win a game of football, why would you limit your chances of doing that to 45 minutes by being conservative first half. And I get that teams get tired 2nd half and the space opens up but it has always struck me as reducing our chances of winning by 50%

What the actual fuck was that.

We've gifted them three goals tonight. Literally all of them have been completely handed to them for free.

That was a horror show by Bobby. 3-2 hull.

We've been better but we've literally had 4 shots all game and it's the 78th minute

- freekick first half

Second half
- bobby's goal
- Palmers shot from out the box which nearly hit the corner flag.
- Weights blocked shot from outside the box
