BFTG ‘Ull (A)

[Kitsondinho]

Your classic bore draw. Really not much else to say apart from....
1) Vito was class.
2) Richards has to play now. He was very good....and managed to get himself out of trouble with his pace on several ocassions
3) The ‘ull goal looked legit from where I was. However, after seeing some replays, I’m coming around to the idea the ref made the right decision.

Agree with you fully. It was really dull and 0-0 was a fair result. Neither side looked like scoring.

The defence as a whole were decent. The rest were underwhelming. We played pretty poorly and couldn't hold the ball. We barely had the ball in their half really which is no surprise given the midfield were crap. I don't blame Stam for signing so many central midfielders seeing that dross.

A welcome point but a side like Brentford with some striker nous would have beaten us 3-0. I was surprised Hull didn't have more up front tbh. Considering their goal record at home.

We aren't safe from relegation. Wins v Burton, Brentford, Millwall and Bolton would ease those fears I've had all season.

I know it's winless in 8 but this is far from a bad result.

Yes no worries, very winnable games, just like the ones over the Christmas period.

Luckily we haven’t actually played the upcoming games yet.....so we can still win them.....

[double d]

It happened. That's about all i can say.

[AthleticoSpizz]

a decent result any other season I guess

[windermereROYAL]

Adkins said the disallowed goal should have been allowed (no surprise), guest on C5 said it should have been allowed (no surprise) host on C5 said correct decision according to the law. (shock)

[AthleticoSpizz]

No, really?

As you say

That prick (Michael Gray?) on Ch5 says it should’ve been allowed despite his co-host defining the actual law.

Yes harsh for Hull lucky for us but........let’s rewrite the rules for Hull today

[Kitsondinho]

Yeah, having seen the C5 show, it was the right decision. As I said, when I saw it at the ground, there didn’t look much wrong with it in real time. Shows what a good decision it was.

Adkins said the goal was correctly disallowed once he had seen the replay.

[Mid Sussex Royal]

The performance was nowhere near as bad as some on here are saying, but I guess the 8 pages of nonsense on the match page is based on what they heard from Low and Dellor.

We were on top for the first 20 mins and nearly scored and then we lose 2 key players in quick succession which did affect the rest of the game but that is not a complete surprise.

The priority was to keep it tight and not to lose which is what happened.

Going back to Dellor my mate text me at half time and he said something about Swift feigning injury before he went off? Is that true? Dellor should be sacked, he's a complete joke.

[bagman]

Swift was obviously in pain, and physio signalled straight away that he could not continue.

But still a poor performance against a very bad team. We created nothing in open play.

I was listening, but did not hear that.

[Hemenbruff Royal]

Good effort and commitment from everyone to hang on for the draw.
Speaking as someone who knows nothing about the finer technicalities of football, the problem to me appears to lie with the midfield who just go missing so often when the defence are trying to play it forward. So keeper rolls it out to the full back or centre back who get closed down immediately by Hull and they have no forward pass option, which results in panicky passes round the back before keeper hoofs it down field and possession is lost. The other option of long ball forward to Kermorgant doesn't work either as he rarely has anyone anywhere near him to pick up the flick on header or lay off if he can hold the ball up.
First time I have seen Omar Richards play and he looks decent and will hopefully now have a run of games.
Special mention to No. 13 who kept up some good noise throughout - 'dropped his flag M'lord' the supporters equivalent of a Cruyff turn.

[Silver Fox]

When Swift was already going to be subbed we started going forward and Dellor berated the hamstringless Swift for not pegging it down in support of his m8s. He might have referred to Swift's decision as rank stupidity or something. Either way he’s an absolute chump and more of a reason to not listen to away games than the disappointing performances.

[AthleticoSpizz]

I think that he’s too much of a fan.

Rather listen to TD than the alternative.

I'll never make judgment on something I haven't seen. I watched it on iFollow with the added benefit of being able to go back to see particular events or moments.

We were shocking but made to look somewhat better because of the utterly incompetent Hull.

This. TD wants us to win. He’s a Reading fan. So is Adie Williams.

They get a load of stick from dickheads who want impartial non emotional reporting.

Bollocks to that.

Starting to think that some believe there is incompetence in this league from top to bottom. Even when we played Wolves...'they ain't all that'...and Cardiff...'they are not much really'...and so on, etc. .Not many come on here and say 'Wow, that is a damn fine team we just played'. (I'm not saying Hull are, but you get my drift).

How would you rate the Champ this last couple year's compared to past year's?

Football fans have a tendency to look inwards and find fault with their team rather than praise the opposition. I like to try and be as objective as possible but at the end of the day I say it how I see it (even if on a screen rather than being at the game itself - but there's advantages of both).

In terms of quality I'm actually one of those that think the overall quality of the league has improved in the last half decade, and will keep improving imho - it's only logical.
