His corners were terrible too.

Some poor performances today. Thought Howley wasn’t great, the mistake for their goal seemed to kill his confidence off. Eccles too nervous and safe first half but got better. Hamer having an off day with his passing, Vik off his game, Bidwell having a 6 not a 7 week.
Did enough to win but they packed the defence and we had nothing that could unlock them. Thought Maguire was OK when he came on, I’d start him ahead of Howley on that performance. The loan lads and Burroughs did well as wel I thought. Dabo looked like a new player, though not as much as it did to the lad behind me who kept cheering him on after he left the pitch because he thought JWE was Dabo
Game felt very flat and missing a bit of magic to get it going. Not a bad point if we can get the next six, otherwise we might be regretting it.

Simple. I hoped I was wrong, but clearly I wasn’t.
The time for someone, Fadz really, to go and speak to the lad was while Hull were celebrating the goal. Wasn’t as if there was no time eh?

To be fair to Godden it bounced before it got into the penalty box. It was that bad it was funny.

Think a few posters pointing out the Hull goal down to being Howley's mistake are being a bit harsh. The ball was struck at him by a misplaced pass from fairly close range, but unfortunately it was right into his stride, which then took it inadvertantly towards our goal. I don't think he had the time to adjust his feet to do much else.
Yeah it didn’t look a mistake to me just bad luck. Thought he had a decent game. Looks like he could be some player.

? Doyle was right in front of him; it was a great finish by Oscar / Estupinan. The ball had been diverted to him unluckily by Howley. Not sure our players did a lot wrong for their goal.
Ahhh ok I thought his arm was more out in front. Very rarely given.

I have to be honest my thought was ‘lucky git’ that the ball had somehow got to him. Didn’t see it as a mistake but just misfortune

Unnatural position.

A bit like Amad he was given all the time and space to pick his spot. Did nothing all game except score
Close to his body, close to the player who kicked it with no time to get it out the way and didn't move it towards the ball. They don't get given just for unnatural position.

There was a different shout from Eccles for a shot of his from just outside the box. Any pictures?
Eccles came close to scoring twice was impressed with his shooting. Hopefully hits the net soon.

Yeah, just seen the highlights. Definitely unlucky and not a bad pass.

The ball bounced off Howley and totally wrong footed McFadz, who had stepped out and looked to have it covered.
Overall, I think we’ve got another decent Academy product and we finished with 3 of them on the pitch.
I noticed the reference to Viktor having signed a contract extension, let’s hope it’s true.

We nearly scored from one of them

Fadz needed resting with 2 big away games coming up. Also we were 1-0 down when Fadz went off so it was an attack minded sub, I'm sure if we were 1-0 up he'd of stayed on.

We should be doing far better from corners, we've got enough height in the side, with 2 big strikers, 3 big centre halves, and 6'+ Howley.

I think McFadz was more culpable, he completely leaves the striker free to press into no man's land. Ball lands at the striker who is now completely free albeit with Doyle trying cover. If Fadz holds his shape they don't score, regardless of Howleys inadvertent mistake.

God you’re banging on about this a bit aren’t you? If you’re that concerned about Howley not getting encouragement just find out where he lives & go round

From that if you look where his foot and knee was compared to his elbow. Even if you think it can be handball at that short distance between two player with a hard drilled cross - I doubt the handball is in the penalty area so free kick at best.

Looking at that it should never be handball anyway. The law is nuts on the issue.

I agree. I was sat not too far away and didnt think it was handball in real time.
Not saying anyone was at fault really but Doyle wasn't touch tight and allowed him to turn good finish though.
