Hull are the worst side I've seen us play this year
Unless they have a miraculous January, they'll be a L1 side next year

Living off that one good season at Boro where everything just clicked for him. Outside of that he's not done much.

Before Hull’s goal, I said if we lose to this lot, we’re in trouble. For all of the faults with our team, we do not make nearly as much basic errors on the ball.
That said, our defending at times was still under par against a poor team. We need support in midfield and defence.

That is literally the difference between success and failure in this division.
In terms of technical ability no one is much better than anyone else. Its the teams that can avoid mistakes that succeed

The hull manager is probably thinking he'd have been better off staying at reading

Apart from Rotherham last season, they are the worst side I’ve seen at Championship level
I thought they were fucking awful, we think we have regressed but at least we ain’t them - They looked a quality side last season
Things starting to unravel for their owner I think

That’s it though. We didn’t really look like scoring for all our possession and the first attempt they had went in. It’s been the same all season.

Not a fan of King but he is not Ron Atkinson.

Didn't he try and change their name?

Our errors are just loaded in defence. Whenever Hull had a shot on target, I felt like we were going to conceded.
At the time of Hull’s opener, we’d conceded something like 13 goals from 16 shots on target! From the second half I believe Hull had 2, maybe 3 shots on target.

Pompey were even worse against Derby last night

Just watched it back. JDS who was playing really well up to that point didn't stop the cross. MVE totally at fault for the goal. His man got the header onto the post. Collins had absolutely no chance.

Excuse ready for some posters if we win away next week

No that was Assem Allam, now deceased
They’ve been taken over by Turks, they loved them initially but starting to get ugly since he canned Rosenior
Another swung in from the LB position regardless of personnel.

No wonder they lost today as well, they must have been knackered

You may be right, getting tonked at home by Wednesday today.
On a positive note, the results today are pretty much going our way, all the teams below us losing or drawing.
Correction Cardiff are winning.
2nd correction, Cardiff shipped a goal at 90+5 and ended up with draw.

Yup. Still want to see him attacky byline more and vary crosses. He loves dink crossed but sometimes is in a position where firing it in low will cause more issues for defenders
But definitely a good game from him and it needs to be remembered that he doesn't get a chance to rest

He was OK. I still think he looks jaded personally, and probably a half a yard behind comparative to last season.
Absolutely no reason why he shouldn’t be our starting keeper for the rest of the season.

I thought we played well, generally, throughout the game. Saw their goal coming about 15 seconds prior, just figures, any other team could have really punished the defence today. But even after going a goal behind it looked like we were sticking to the plan rather dropping heads, maybe so close to half times allowed everyone to resettle and maintain focus? I agree with many that Simms looked likelier to be the better starting option given the game plan and the opposition. If we're going to commit to being a crossing into the box only offensive it seems apropos to have a bigger, taller, more experienced target man of he-who-many-dislike.
EMC came off great overall today (and last few games!) and looking like he really is getting comfortable. I'd been admittedly skeptically cautious of him so far this season, thought maybe he'd need a few more months to shake loose bad habits and gain confidence transitioning to a tougher division, but he's showing what being given an extended chance (though just due to Wright's injury) can do for comfort and confidence.
Plenty of missed chances again today, we seem like we could score 2 or 3+ goals every game, overall an enjoyable match from my perspective.
I suppose the team sleepover worked. Everyone gets to enjoy a
party now
