MATCHWATCH : Hull City (a)

[Millsy]

I can't fault anyone's performance today because I didn't watch it.

Btfg or at least ratings please for those of us who missed it.

You all said he was good at centre back in a game I missed. Since then I've seen him play there and I'm not impressed. About all he's got is effort and pace as far as I can see.

You seem to be in the minority. Many on twitter saying he was motm and I wouldn't necessarily disagree.

Twitter? The pit of despair well known for it's good judgement?

Ok, he was great.

Hull will be disappointed with that. Dominated large sections, how they didn't go 2-0 up I don't know when all they needed was to roll it into the net... they may argue we should have been down to 10 and they will probably claim 2 penalties, but ref got all three spot on imo.... I thought the Carroll shout he looked right at and waved away was the strongest, but probably 6 of one.

Not often you say this in the Championship, but I think the ref had a proper good game. We were ropey as oxf*rd at times and very lucky to win, but we made them work and forced the two goals in somehow. And that's all it takes.

You know what ?

Fcuk Hull.

We should have had three penalties against them last season at the Mad Stad.

What goes around comes around.

Well quite

Just seen the Hendrick challenge - looks nothing like a red to me

I can't fault anyone's performance today because I didn't watch it.

Btfg or at least ratings please for those of us who missed it.

Bouzanis - 6 one cracking save, one cracking punch, one air kick that should have been punished but wasn't and some poor kicking. Decent performance.
Hoilett - 7 after some recent lacklustre performances he beat his man plenty, defended ok, whipped in good crosses and generally played well.
Rahman - 5 Just makes far too many loose passes and errors, needs to improve on his delivery too
Yiadom - 6 started not great, but did ok
Holmes - 7 he's turning into a good reliable defender. Apparently at fault for the goal, but I didn't see it so not marking him down for it.
Mbengue - 5 well, he's quick and he tries and there's something there, but he's full of errors and doesn't look comfortable in defence.
Hendrick - 6 silly challenge aside, he was fairly typically Hendrick, quietly ok.
Fornah - 6 thought he generally played well and was surprised he was taken off, more likely to create a chance than Hendrick, Loum or Ejaria
Ince - 7 usual Ince, lots of work rate and some good balls in
Meite - 7 scored, somewhat fortunately, and caused difficulties without looking brilliant
Long - 6 good work rate, don't remember him looking very likely

Loum - 6 not good Loum, but not quite bad Loum, he was a bit iffy
Carroll - 6 caused the goal and did well, but we didn't seem to know how to use him a fair bit
Joao - 6 some decent hold up and link play, nothing really came his way chance wise.

If there's weren't penalties, which they weren't... not really...

Once again thank you, really useful.

Subs used in good time? Made a a difference?

Not really useful when he gives the man of the match a 5.

[Zip]

Yeah the 5 for Mbengue is way too harsh

[AthleticoSpizz]

Ian does wear glasses tbf

[From Despair To Where?]

Just seen the Hendrick challenge. Never a red. In fact, if anyone was going in 2 footed, it was the Hull player.

[Royal_jimmy]

That was bloody terrific today, glad we finally beat Hull away we deserved it

[Royal_jimmy]

Me, I’m ecstatic with that.

Higher has some good memes/ visuals btw.

I'm very drunk but enjoying this win. I'm finally home

[windermereROYAL]

Rosenior said i was a leg breaker and the Hull fans are not happy, not a fucking chance was that a red, feet firmly on the ground, no studs and not high.

[mikey_1871]

Cracking away day, found some excellent pubs in the city centre and a 94th minute winner in a game that was heading for a draw was just wonderful. Now home, very drunk and vey happy.

Don't care about ratings, we got 3 points. That's the only number that matters.

[Royal_jimmy]

That was one of the worst games of football I've ever seen. Hull scrapped against us and bought us down to a poor level. At best we deserved a point but turned them over. Terrific result

[Live Fast Dai Yongge]

Very happy. Can go into the long WC break feeling a lot better about the second part of the season after that.

[Zip]

4 of our last 5 have been away from home with 3 of our next 5 also away from home. So this is a really tough run of 10 games. Such a big win today.
Well done to all those who travelled today. Serious dedication to the cause.
