Eddie Notgetinya Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Will the trend of giving away stoppage time goals end? I’d have taken a point but now it feels like a loss. We can’t cross the ball and playing out from the back will lead to a lot of cheap goals being given away when we play teams that press. Could be another long season…. Joe Williams - there was no danger, let the man win it. He’s lucky he stayed on the pitch after a needless booking on only 11mins. Buck up your ideas Max - Superb, kept us in it first half Fally - great finish, encouraging Armstrong - another positive. Powerful player. Need a 10 to pick that key pass 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Absolutely nothing has changed from last season. Look good in spells, sloppy at times and absolutely comical in the final third. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TammyAB Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Was a bit of a gift to play that Hull side first game of the season with all the players they’ve lost. Millar and Burns signed too late to start. Add in all the missed chances and embarrassingly wasted opportunities and I feared we wouldn’t be able to take advantage. Brilliance from Fally almost saved the day before Joe Braindead Williams ruined it for all of us with another moment of stupidity. If we continue to need a million chances for our toothless attack to score and continue to gift goals like the one today with idiotic decision making then I can’t see how we can reach the apparent club target of the playoffs again this season, our tenth in a row in this league.

Gert Mare Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 One player cost us 3 points and let the team down. Our wide players are poor and Nelson should be screaming to get an opportunity. Missing a creative number 10. Both strikers looked good in different ways, but my god they need better service. Same problem as last season and hasn’t been addressed 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe jordans teeth Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 For the first game of the season I thought we did well,we all know Williams is a accident waiting to happen regarding silly fouls,all in all a good solid performance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 This stoppage time goals thing wasn't really much of a thing last season under Nige. Happened once vs Stoke City. Plus at Cardiff when pushing. Vs Norwich, Millwall, penalty albeit inconsequential v Southampton off the top of my head.. would have to look at all 46 Games to analyse.

bobbyhutchscurlymullet Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Always easier to criticise rather than be positive, but I thought our pressing and winning the ball back was superb.

We don’t create, that’s the sum total of it. We got a goal from some individual brilliance which we can’t really rely on week in week out. defence always seems solid but max has kept us in that make no mistake, we nearly made some big errors trying to play out. It’s a good result but I wouldn’t say it inspires confidence 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redrascal2 Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Nothing ever really seems to change. How do you dominate a very poor team for the majority of the game and come away with a draw. And even with some real targets at set pieces we offer no threat at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1team Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 I thought Fally looked quite creative, I'd rather see Fally start and Armstrong on later when the game is stretched and the defence is tiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphindevon Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 The 12 minutes after half time were as dominating one sided display as I can remember seeing. When Hull did win it back we won possession seconds later, it really was impressive. Except our inability to get the ball in the net. Maybe we need the majority of next week’s training sessions to be spent in the opposition box. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo76 Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 New season. Same frustration. Negatives We didn't score several times against a poor side that couldn't stop giving us possession Our wide/creative players compared to the top sides in the division are poor. Obviously Joe's reckless challenge (really hope we didn't see a player playing for a new contract last season) Short corners. Never want to see another one ( unless there is some sort of plan to it of course, which are ones don't have) Positives Armstrong has real potential Aside from the wide players, we look solid. The press and organisation looked good. Squad depth better. Max O Fally goal Overall, I just feel our forward players lack football intelligence. They did all the hard work and then threw it away in the final third, every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-S-M Seagull Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 I think I need to see a few more games. Hull looked atrocious who if the window shut today I'd consider them to be relegation favourites. So I'm not sure if todays game was a good game to draw any conclusions from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look good in spells, sloppy at times and absolutely comical in the final third. That’s wrong imo. For much of last season we were awful, a four month spell in fact. To the point where Liam had to revert the tactics to what the players knew in the end. Today doesn’t prove anything but it was not the same as what we were watching last season…when I for one was ******* off after an hour of home games and I wasn’t the only one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Team Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Like many would’ve taken the point before the game but the way things transpired it’s two dropped and feels like a loss. Some positives clearly like Fally and Sinclair but also the same issues as last season at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So disappointing we didn’t punish them, bar Fally’s goal. Our build-up play is so lacking in dynamism though. Other sides won’t concede pressing chances like Hull did today. A couple of players will be hoping they get another opportunity on Tuesday because there must be question marks as to whether they deserve it. I’ll take a point, but gutted it wasn’t three. Lessons on closing out a late lead to be taken onboard. Dickie got caught wrong side, then didn’t do enough to stop the cross. Then Williams…. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Geoff Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Always amazed at how bad we are at seeing a game out. Absolutely no time wasting, fake injuries, nothing. 89/90 mins Bell was played in down the left. Does he hold onto the ball to try andcdraw a foul or win a cheap throw in? No he smashes it first time across the box straight to a defender. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
