The manager comes across as a class act so I was surprised by the attitude of the team. As a fan you’d surely squirm at some of the antics last night.Hull players came across as a right bunch of scumbags.
Why, after scoring, did their players run away from their own fans and instead try and incite a reaction from singers corner?
When it’s a local derby, or fans had been particularly hostile to individual players I could maybe understand it, but that last night was completely unprovoked.
And then we have all the play acting. I’ve never seen so many players recover from being seriously hurt within 10 seconds. I thought I was watching a faith healing convention at one point
Burnley invested heavily in goal this season, as did Sheff Utd in Ramsdale before and both conceded buckets anyway. I just don’t see it as a wise use of funds unless we’re swimming in money.How many have been down to Collins? Quite a few I think. A good keeper can make all the difference in the world.
As a defence, if you have a top keeper between the sticks behind you, it can create such a feeling of confidence.
I saw the stats on Everton's defence. Right up there with the best in the Premier and a lot of that is down to Jordan Pickford.
Funny how you’ve waited until now to return…
WTF are you smoking?
Well it works both ways doesn't it, the defence is also exposing him with some truly shambolic errors.How many have been down to Collins? Quite a few I think. A good keeper can make all the difference in the world.

The audacity. Have you tried reporting to Elon Musk?
Fuck off you six fingered twatYeah it is
Yep, it does. Having a commanding keeper behind you though can make all the difference.Well it works both ways doesn't it, the defence is also exposing him with some truly shambolic errors.

Last night Thomas was as much to blame, passing it back to him, just put it out ffs. Collins then smashed it against the forward instead of trying to side foot it away. Perfect view from block 28 sadly.Well it works both ways doesn't it, the defence is also exposing him with some truly shambolic errors.

We do need someone more commanding and forever shouting to defenders and organising the defence.The top priority is a new keeper. We’ve been fannying around too long with nervous, indecisive, weak kneed types who give the defence zero confidence.
We want a big, aggressive , confident fooker who can command the box, come off his line and shout at defenders doing stupid things.
It won’t come cheap but just so it!
Allen and Kelly were not "fine"Allen and Kelly were fine, but Palmer I will agree was pretty hopeless other than the freekick.
Having watched the highlights three times now, I think saying Collins "smashed it" is pushing it just a very small tad.Last night Thomas was as much to blame, passing it back to him, just put it out ffs.

Had he smashed the result would’ve been the same - it ricochets off the forward and goes in. If the pass was any weaker the forward would’ve got there first.Having watched the highlights three times now, I think saying Collins "smashed it" is pushing it just a very small tad.
Not so sure, Mucca. You smash it, it can go anywhere.Had he smashed the result would’ve been the same - it ricochets off the forward and goes in. If the pass was any weaker the forward would’ve got there first.
Their manager was in the stands serving a touchline ban after picking up 3 bookings, he's not exactly a saint...The manager comes across as a class act so I was surprised by the attitude of the team. As a fan you’d surely squirm at some of the antics last night.
Didn’t know that was just thinking of his interviews I’ve seenTheir manager was in the stands serving a touchline ban after picking up 3 bookings, he's not exactly a saint...
The striker reacts to how much aggression the keeper is showing. If you think you’re going to get damaged by a keeper willing to do anything to protect his goal you back off.Had he smashed the result would’ve been the same - it ricochets off the forward and goes in.

We conceded a very poor goal against Leeds.
We've been all over the place defensively since the Wolves game.
The cup runs been great, but I honestly think it's cost us a place in the play offs.
If VAR hadn’t ruined it then I actually would have taken Sunday in exchange for the playoffs.Quite a few callers and texts on the phone in yesterday after the game saying they were happy to sacrifice the play offs for Wembley last week.
Amazing day out, but I'd definitely have swapped the semi final for the play offs

I wouldn’t TBH I don’t think we’d have won them with Ipswich/Leeds and Soton in them, even WBA and Norwich tend to beat us. I honestly think it would just have eaten into preseason for no benefit.
Not like last season where I could see us beating any of the others in there. This years it’s basically all out bogey sides minus Preston.
To be fair, that was his first league game for what, a couple of months?JA getting outpaced every time he tried to make a run was just sad to see.
Palmer’s goal was the only good one by a long distanceJust had a glance at Hull forum and they are complaining about their keeper and saying if it wasn’t for some sloppy mistakes in several games they’d be several points better off and comfortably in POs. A lot of similarities.
One absolutely bizarre one though said both our goals were lucky. The irony!

Disagree, with Simms and Wright full of goals, I would have fancied us more going into the play offs this season than last.
Historically true but this team has shown it relishes the one-off big occasion.We never beat Russell Martin teams. Never. It’s Robins Achilles heel. And that’s before you get to Ipswich WBA and Norwich. It’s like a rogues gallery of teams we struggle against.
