Hull City at home match thread

[Jerseybean]

Season’s greeting fellow-Reds.

Be warned there are disturbing photos at the foot of this post!

They recently agreed a deal to sign former Sheffield United striker Billy Sharp on a deal until the end of the season. The 37-year-old is a free agent after leaving LA Galaxy at the end of the MLS regular season in October. Sharp has scored 255 goals in 642 league appearances. He joins them from 1 January. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67779715

We won this fixture last time out - with a penalty! https://youtu.be/YQNHv2Ufo-A

This is a great collection of past highlights: https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/six-of-the-best-the-robins-take-on-the-tigers/

They are currently fifth on 36 points.

The most famous meeting between us and them was the Championship playoff final in 2008, for younger City fans, who weren't around at the time, Dean Windass scored the only goal of the game on 38 minutes to break our hearts, in front of 86,703 fans.

On deadline day they signed Brighton full-back James Furlong and Aston Villa winger Jaden Philogene (currently out injured) for undisclosed fees and Liverpool midfielder Tyler Morton on a season-long loan.

Hull City's relegation from the Premier League was confirmed on 3 May 2010, after a 2–2 draw at Wigan Athletic. Phil Brown and Ian Dowie had their contracts terminated, and Nigel Pearson was confirmed as the new manager.

A reported block on player transfers into the club, set in place by the Hull City board on 28 July 2010 until transfers out would substantially reduce the £39 million-per-year wage bill, at first cast doubt on the new manager's efforts to build a squad capable of a quick return to the Premier League; nevertheless, Pearson brought several transfers and loan signings into the club in his bid to strengthen the squad for the season's campaign. The team set a new club record on 12 March 2011 with 14 away matches unbeaten, breaking a previous record held for over 50 years. This 17-match streak was finally broken by Bristol City on the last day of the 2010–11 season, Hull losing the match 3–0. On 15 November 2011, Nigel Pearson left Hull to return to Leicester.

These days Liam Rosenior is their head coach. He is the son of fellow manager and former player Leroy Rosenior, who also played for us 51 times. He started his playing career with us as a midfielder. He scored our second goal in a 2–0 victory  against Carlisle United in the 2003 Football League Trophy final at the Millennium Stadium.

He has been given a one-game touchline ban and a £2,500 fine for misconduct following their 2-0 defeat by QPR on 9 December. He admitted using abusive and/or insulting words towards a match official after the final whistle. He will therefore be absent from the sidelines for Friday’s game.

He recently signed a new three-year contract to extend his time at the MKM Stadium. He was appointed in November 2022 on a two-and-a-half-year deal and took the Tigers from 21st in the Championship to a 15th-placed finish last season. He has only lost 14 of his 52 games in charge. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67742814

Well known fans include:

Sinitta, the singer, who is best known for her song “So Macho”, was born in the United States, but her affiliation is with the club from East Yorkshire. She is closely associated with Simon Cowell and she has appeared on shows such as The X Factor, I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! and The Masked Singer.

John Prescott who served as the MP for Kingston upon Hull East for 40 years and was also Deputy Prime Minister between 1997 and 2007 and First Secretary of State from 2001 to 2007 in Tony Blair’s Labour government.

Head-to-head record

Won: 38

Lost: 29

Drawn: 26

Officials

Referee: Ben Toner

Assistants: George Byrne and Sam Lewis

Fourth official: Josh Smith

As mentioned Jaden Philogene is out due to medial knee ligament damage which he sustained when they played QPR. The Tigers' leading scorer limped off in the second half of the game at Loftus Road. England under-21 international Philogene has been a key man in Hull's start to the season with six goals.

Rúben Vinagre is out with a hamstring injury and Dogukan Sinik has a knee injury. While Jason Lokilo and Allahyar Sayyadmanesh may both be available following injury.

Defender Alfie Jones grew up in Long Ashton and attended Backwell School. Last season he picked up the Player of the Year Award.

It’s worth mentioning that Ray Cashley, City’s keeper,  scored against Hull in September 1973 with a kick from his own penalty area. It was a very windy night, a bit like the forecast for tomorrow. Unfortunately I can’t see O’Leary repeating the feat as he just doesn’t have the feet

Thanks to @Jerseybean for another great bit of pre match info. Wishing you, and all fellow Reds a Merry Christmas. 

Onto the game tomorrow. A home win before Christmas will be a great early Christmas present. COYR!

Season’s greetings pongo88. Got me thinking, apparently the record number of goals for a keeper is held by the Brazilian Rogério Ceni. He scored his 100th goal in a 3–0 win for São Paulo on 4 August 2011. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogério_Ceni

Merry Christmas @Jerseybean.

Thank you for these matchday threads - always an interesting read and a wealth of information ahead of the game. Much appreciated.

You’ll be busy with them these next 10 days so hope you find some time for some turkey and a glass or too as well! 

[FNQ]

Merry Xmas JB and thanks for another great write up

We’ve already played Hull on a Friday night this season which ended in a 1-1 draw at their place in another game that we could easily have won. The team back then was pretty much the same side as we’re fielding now, if anything we are stronger at the moment with both Conway and Dickie available. Interesting to see how much we have kicked on since then…. 

[Kid in the Riot]

I think Liam Rosenior is a really impressive, innovative young coach who could go quite far in the game.

Another tough home game for Manning with Hull in a play off position, having won their last two games against Middlesbrough and Cardiff. 

Friday night before Xmas, hopefully a lively atmosphere.

1 - nil win to BCFC

COYR

[Malago]

Another tight game which I’ve a sneaky feeling we’ll nick 1-0. 
 

Up The City.

[Davefevs]

the numbers suggest City’s defence will need to be at their stubborn best in open play, whilst being patient whilst Hull have the ball.  Hull are a team that settle into a block so suspect we will either need to be patient ourselves in prising them open, or be clinical in transition.

The game earlier this season was a bit frantic, but I think some of that came from players like Naismith passing the ball quickly out of defence.

low scoring draw or low scoring win either way.  I’d happily take a winning goal-fest though!

[Ska Junkie]

They're bang in form so (as pre Sunderland), I'll take a point.

You never know, it might work.

[Super]

I'd be happy with a draw 4 points from 2 tough games will be fine.

[Mr Popodopolous]

4 from 2 would be alright yeah, problem is when you win the first and it is vs a side you have a good record against at home in particular all 6 really does become a strong goal.

Plus points dropped perhaps unnecessarily v some or all of Blackburn, Huddersfield, Norwich- puts more pressure on this one.

Edited December 22, 2023 by Mr Popodopolous

[bcfc01]

I agree 6 is a sfrfonfrr goal.

But four would also be hdfgrss.

Quite, but a win would see us 9th or 8th if PNE lose at Swansea (for a few hours at least).

Shows how tight it is in this division - a couple of wins can propel a team 6 places upwards.

(I'm not looking at what a loss would look like)...

[Street red]

We need a stronger performance came away from Sunderland game thinking how did we win that one. We need to stop them around the box hull seem to score from outside the box quiet regular. I'd like us to actually get at team from the start especially as we are at home. I'm going 1-1 but we will need to be on our game tonight.

Moved this on behalf of the poster to help increase awareness…. 

Hi all

I am hoping anyone attending tonights match can help us..

Myself and a good mate both lost our fathers earlier this week. Both men were massive City fans, and introduced us to our beloved club.

I would really appreciate it if you could join in with a minutes applause in the 80th minute for them both please..

Thanks all

Evening all and a very happy Christmas to everyone.  I have just seen the unchanged team and i was quite surprised, as it said on the net that a sickness bug was going around the players and two are out because of it.  As anyone heard anything about this?  Perhaps it was to get Hull into thinking it will be an easy game.  I think a draw tonight, but it will be great if we can get all three points. So give us a good start to Christmas boy's, Come On You Red's!
