was gonna mention this. At the start of the season I read an article that said every statistic pointed to them being one of the worst teams in the league - apart from the one that mattered -the points and the league table, Which suggested they were lucky rather than good.
Also think Hulls luck will run out. That's been going on for way too long. It will catch up to them.
Someone just text me that they haven’t won since playing us. So would agree
Yes if we'd have seen out the point i think us and them would be seen very differently right now. Hopefully we overtake them soon, been a bit fed up of hearing about them so that would feel good.
That was before they played us. They won game 1 and game 2 and not won since.
You would imagine with more games and more wins the belief increases on the squad. So it may be the case we only get better rather than worse which is very exciting for the season ahead.
It also helps heal the playoff loss
It’s the Europe thing isn’t it. As much as i of course would absolutely love a European season at some point in our lives - I’d be really worried about the league.
I wouldn’t be. Get me to Kazakhstan on a Thursday. Absolute bucket list!
I dream of the day I have to sit down with my missus and explain I have to go to Astana on a November Thursday night
Sorry love no summer holiday this year I’m sure you understand
Second seasons are difficult. If we are lucky enough to stay up this year our second season will be difficult too.
Made easier with the 6 points from Boro
I said before the season started that I fancied Sunderland, Hull +1 other (could be us) to go down. Admittedly, that was when it looked like Xhaka was leaving but he seems to have downed tools anyway.
Imagine how painful they'd be without Brobbey. The whole game plan is built around his strength.
Already starting to. No wins in 7.
I'm not one to label the opposition awful anytime we get a win but yesterday I did think they were shite and in big danger of going down
That’s the difference between him and our other strikers, non of the others do that yesterday - Awoniyi will be a big player for us
Second seasonitis - they were always going to struggle.
They’ve never fully been behind him from what I can tell. Even in the promotion season I remember them grumbling when they dropped like a stone.
He's actually 18 not 19 until February
