Midfielders are better captains. Refs usually hang around the middle and there’s no point a striker jogging around the middle pecking the ref’s head.

Godden certainly didn’t look like captain material tonight. Would have given it to Hyam before kick off but he played his worst game in a long time.

Yes because we were so successful in the Championship with hard man Michael Doyle in the team

Very hard not to think of this season as anything other than a huge wasted opportunity. That now looks set to be taken by someone else unfancied at the start.

It is, Hamer, O'Hare and Gyokeres will be gone in the summer, and we will likely struggle next season, just like Barnsley.

This is all just more Sunday League cliche stuff

Robins may as well send them out there with a team talk of “Let them know you’re there with your first tackle……and don’t let it bounce”

We concede first so many times you are never getting away with it all the time

We do it as well. It’s just never the deciding factor of why we (or any other team at this level) win or lose games.

I am the biggest advocate of the 3 at the back for us, it suits our personnel & style of play perfectly & I really don't think we could be as successful with a back 4. However, second half tonight was the one time I really would have tried it.
As you say they completely stifled us &, despite the usual desperate clamour for throwing Tavares on, the only way to change that would have been a change in tactic.

Because it’s not the height of the pandemic anymore & there‘s enough players to call upon? (Albeit Sheaf in defence)

The relegated teams will be sniffing around them, I could see Hamer and Viktor sold off to Norwich who will have to replace a few.

This is the ball on the ground after hitting the Hull player who is further in the goal, clear goal.

Genuinely don’t think half of these Hamer fouls are fouls. @Adge am I wrong? Is a hip barge different to a shoulder barge?
Click to expand...
“Impeding an opponent” which Hamer was guilty of an a few occasions and because of the number of fouls the caution (yellow card) was inevitable. Rightly taken off before he was cautioned again.

Not arguing about the yellow, more the thing Hamer does a lot where he barges a player off the ball, it was my understanding that was allowed.

If the rule isimpeding an opponent then shepherding the ball is against the rules surely?

Basically I don’t think he’s being reckless and according to this from the laws that’s allowed?

Time wasting is becoming a joke now. Would live a ref to give 2 yellows and send a player off particularly a keeper, as well as add on a correct amount of time like 10 mins. It would stop it within 2 weeks
Click to expand...
The time wasting in the Championship is appalling, and worse than in the Premier League. I watched the last 20 minutes of Arsenal/Liverpool, 2-0 to the away side, as in our game, and Liverpool got on with the game far quicker than Hull did. Having said that, we got what we deserved tonight, through our own ineptitude.

It depends-no problem with players etc showing strength-as per Hamer, but too much strength constitutes a foul and is an unfair way of getting the ball.

Sassy comments like that; you’re either a 13 year old (in which case it’s understandable) or not. I’m not sure, but I did previously think you more mature. I was wrong. Apologies.

Can’t blame a 22 year old Doyle that we had legends such as Kevin Kyle in the team but if you see that our mediocre league finishes were all down to him, then I disagree.

We lacked leadership tonight. Fadz gives a bit of that in marshalling the defence. That was absent. We need, to my mind, someone to be a midfield standard bearer.

We went to shit tonight in terms of cohesion, in my opinion. Godden as captain was a strange choice but looking around the team, who else? That’s the point.

Doyle did better for us, in relative terms, in his last spell with us. His guile and experience was vital in getting us out of L2. Younger players, it seems, looked up to him. At 22-25 (or whatever) in his first spell he didn’t have the gravitas that 500+ games and several promotion campaigns affords.
