Whitey Grandad

Three attackers against four defenders? The other two have plenty of space too. It’s awful defending.

…to their agents?

It seemed to me that they’re neither one thing nor the other.

Indeed, you’re asking the wrong person but I venture we’ve conceded far more than we’ve scored.

That doesn’t have to be the case. Many years ago I saw plenty of exciting games in the old fourth division.

Indeed. If anything they got in each other’s way.

If we were in the Premier League and about to get relegated would anybody be against the idea of getting in a new manager?

I don’t see why?

It was a full back’s position to be there.

Whatever the problem, Jack Stephens is not the answer.

Wouldn’t the height difference between seat rows affect this? People sitting would understandably complain if they had a metal bar blocking their view.

More VAR nonsense. It’s just not accurate enough for the purpose it’s being used for.

I take a different view. Players can get injured warming up or even sweeping up leaves. We needed a resounding performance to take us into the playoffs followed by a strong performance next week. Instead we got an insipid capitulation against a team who wanted it far more than us. You don’t get match fit by being rested. Now we have lost the last three games having scored only one goal and not in the last two. We, or rather he, hasn’t got a chance of getting us motivated and straight out of the traps in the semis.

Not just me then🤭

Incredible? I couldn’t believe it either. I spent a lot of it covering my eyes in fear. The most exciting bits were when we were messing about in our own goal area inviting disaster.

Djenepo was a lot better.

Maybe they were pleased that he was being taken off, or because it was the last time that they would see him?

Possibly. In defence of Bree there was one instance in the first half when Stoke were attacking and all our other defenders had gone across to our right leaving Bree to cover two Stoke players, a winger wide on their right and an attacking runner through the centre. He called across for someone to cover the centre runner and was ignored so he left his winger and came across to the middle. Stephens in particular has tunnel vision and can only see the ball in front of him. He is not aware of what is going on elsewhere. Fortunately nothing came of their attack.

Is this possibly because they are only on loan?

Not so much that as a team that doesn’t believe in the way of playing. There was only one team yesterday that had any desire about the result. The team selection was an insult to the supporters.

I feel much the same. In some ways I’d rather not be bothered about the two games in the playoffs. I cannot raise any excitement for them and I could do without the distraction. My garden needs attention as well as a hundred other things.

And the manager.

Initially I was prepared to give him a chance but now, like you, I’ve had more than enough.

A beautifully constructed goal for Hull makes it 2-2
