Tonight’s Game

I wonder what sort of team they will put out on Wednesday?

It was about 7 changes in the first game i think, but I'm guessing the league is the priority over the cup.

An away tie to Liverpool doesn't carry the same glamour when you've done it in the league a number of times recently.

The Hull pitch is dreadful - looks awful and is so bobbly. I’ve always considered Rosenior to be a moaning git but he looks apoplectic with some of the decisions which have (rightly) gone against his team. Having two of his players booked for simulation in two minutes will make his post match interview worth watching!

Controversial goal for Luton at Turf Moor.  How much did Burnley pay for James Trafford.  Too much.  No better than Max, possibly worse.

Perfectly good goal still expected VAR to rule it out though! 

Weak goalkeeping

Agree. Sick of these Goalkeepers who do this. Glad the Ref didn't bottle it.

In a way you can see it wasn’t an obvious foul but keepers usually get one for the smallest of touches so again comes down to subjectivity and inconsistency.

Probably would have been given as a foul if it was against a big team at home .

For me, Trafford misjudged the flight of the ball, realised he was getting there and milked the contact with Adebayo

New Moon On The Quay - Harbourside….last season v QPR.  Not that far as the crow flies.

The camera angle looking down the pitch shows Adebayo didn’t do a lot wrong.

The cynic in me says had it been Ederson, Allison, etc, it gets disallowed though! 🤷🏻‍♂️

They won’t care for either Luton or Burnley.

It was a subjective call as plenty of VaR decisions are. I thought that Trafford was blocked by Adebayo who appeared to back into Trafford whilst others see it differently 

The goal was awarded but on another day could have been ruled out.

VAR ref obviously wanted to get home rather than let the on pitch ref have a look !

People have often said they would rather see less VAR involvement and the refs decision be final .

Trouble is a lesser “foul” will be given tomorrow..

Never seems to be his or his teams fault .

Always “unlucky or robbed “

Self-preservation I guess.  Think he’s a good coach.  Still don’t get why he’s after so many attacking players.  His defence is sub-optimal for a playoff chasing team.

Best mates with the owner so probably doesn’t want to rock the boat.

My god I can't stand Liam Rosenior. Talking absolute waffle as per usual. Needs humbling.

It’s the hands in the pockets with that wanky scarf.

Looks like a right tit.

There will be twists and turns aplenty. The top 4 are the top 4 more or less but 10 sides and maybe more will think they have a chance of the playoffs to some level, 6th certainly and maybe 5th.

Are Hull at any risk of FFP in the not to distant future? Seems like all they've done since they've been back in the Championship is spend.

The 'club' might have played Liverpool recently, but have the current squad of player or even the manager come up against them?

Add to that the potential financial windfall it would generate, 3rd round winner prize money a probable television appearance and gate receipts, the bean-counters will be desperate for progression, add to that a January transfer window which if more revenue is nailed on might allow them to strengthen, then I would expect them to go full strength.

I would say likely summer 2025 if they're still down here.

Short answer, Allams post 2016 say ran not just a tight ship but austerity, made Mike Ashley look like Abramovich.

Hull owner inherited a very low cost base, artificially low revenue as fans were keeping away and attendances as low as 12k average.

Income streams with buoyancy have risen and KLP £15-20m pure profit in 2022-23..I'd say if they don't go up within the next 18 months, end of next season at the latest.

A couple of years ago, I had to leave early for some family reason, I was crossing Princes St bridge (by Arnolfini) when I heard our injury time winner, it sort of rumbled along the river, quite strange !

Another young, modern head-coach who appears to not be placing enough emphasis on the defensive side of the game.

FWIW I quite like him as a head-coach, but he does like an excuse or he was hard-done-by.

So basically shit or bust for them within the next 18 months?

Early leaving I'm afraid. Me and a mate decided to leave to go to the pub, missed 2 goals in one night!! The first was at the far end of the park, the second on the old train track heading to the Nova.

Vs Leeds. Silly boys!!

Absolutely right. As good as they were going forward against us their defence and particularly goalkeeper Alsop aren't going to get them into the playoffs.
