I think "poor" is being kind, that was the worst performance for a long time. Really hard to fathom how the same group of players can look great one game and so poor the next. I like Robins, but he's got to be under pressure now from an ambitious owner and getting rid of Viveash does not seem to have helped.
our customary defeat away to Blackburn...
not helped by a slightly harsh straight red in the final seconds of the first half when 0-0. suspect the ref was influenced by their players implying the death sentence would be lenient and the idiot fell for it; very unpleasant and whiny bunch indeed.
then disallows a goal for us when our massive bruising striker Smyth (5'4" and 8' dripping wet) outmuscled their CB who was screaming like a bitch..... some modern football really boils my piss!
Hull City season ticket holder here. Started to look reasonably good in attack. Our right winger Belloumi looks like a star in the making with 2 well taken goals on Saturday. He looks more of an attacking threat than Philogene last season. We’re still far too open defensively. We’ll see how we go as the season progresses. I’d take mid table now, there’s been such an influx of new players, it will take a while adapting.
3 wins on the bounce for City. Next stop the Canaries.
Tough game last night and Leeds were great to watch.
We have come a long way since last season’s matches, a few months ago we would have lost that three or four one. Great defending which was superb to watch.
Hull on Saturday and with both teams on form it should be a great game
Pitch
Leeds just missing that 15-20 goal a season striker but it's early yet, thought they played some very good stuff and defended well, as Norwich were decent and looked threatening on the break (without really creating much at all ie Meslier made no saves at all). Think you'll be up there come the season end but more likely play offs then auto spots maybe
