Lets not single out players negatively. let's enjoy the win. from what i saw and i missed 1st 15 mins. we played some lovely stuff in spells both halfs. another team of big
Lads and hull were told to get amongst us, distrupt and unsettle our game, especially 2nd half which they did to some extent. but we come away, a clean sheet and 3 points against a team fighting for anything they can get.
Played much worse than friday, got the result, so move on to a very tough game this weekend. totally convinced we are a level above last season and see a real conviction and consistency in our game, plus some real quality to come into the team soon, hopefully.
Thatcwill do for me.
Cheers lads.

Put the Leeds match on, watched a training session attack vs defence

Good of ‘ull to put that on, but why were only our fans let in the ground?

Meanwhile in Salford 🙈.

I'm reading some of these posts and wondering if I'm holding the league table the wrong way up.

We grumble when we create tons of chances and get a draw and we grumble when we create less chances and win.

11 games in, up at the right end of the table, same team for 5 games with key players missing.

Well done Tyler and good to see Pontus back at his best.

for the record i did not grumble at sheff game, i think we did well to create so many and was just one of them days,

today i think we lacked penertation and worrying lack of chances and shots on goal. great goal but can't have too many of them a season.

as for table we were here last year. great to be top but recent form and performances against poorer teams does worry me. not end of the world but not popping champaigine either.

I have been very impressed with him.
When you consider that our creativity has dropped off since Hernandez has been out I think his performances have been excellent.
He holds up the ball well, runs the channels well too.
Think his output (which is already OK) will improve further when Pablo returns.

He did, don’t think he misplaced many passes if any

Tidy job slotting in and out of the back line and midfield.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Oct 2018 22:30:09
i think KP played well tonight, great passing, but then always said as a passer one of best in league

didnt make a single tackle all game, he can't tackle that's not his fault but a worry in that position, think mb is playing him too deep

also by passed too much again that is not his game or fault if you can't run you can't run.

he has some great assest and some awful assest, think what he offers on one hand he is a liablity in the next. I do feel his skill set is better served further up field where his passing will hurt and his tackling won't matter.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Oct 2018 23:02:42
Bermondsey, do you have a KP alert on your phone! Every time someone makes a comment about him, your phone buzzes! Apparently 6 premier league scouts at the ground watching him tonight and Everton preparing a 10 million bid for January! How many tattoos, does that equal?

03 Oct 2018 07:56:11
to be fair if prem scouts where there tonight he did show his class.10 million is one big tattoo of him in a heart riding a unicorn!

Alioski poor again tonight, he must be due a good game. Just think how far we could have been out in front in this league if we had converted the chances into goals in the last few games. Hurry back Roofe and Hernandez!

02 Oct 2018 22:31:03
ture but come on how islotaed were aliski roberts saiz and harrision. all looked poor as has no support and often neast player too them was often 30 yards aways.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Oct 2018 23:06:13
I think it is more the stuff he does when he gets or almost gets the ball that frustrates rather than when he’s isolated. Either give him a break or perhaps if Douglas is injured, sit him at the back for a bit. Worried if he goes away again and plays two more games for the national team!

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Oct 2018 00:37:02
I like Alioski but, I think he could do with a game or two on the bench.

Berm N'golo Phillips immense (again) tonight 😆.

02 Oct 2018 22:32:24
george how many tackles did n'golo make tonight? none. however his passing was real quality. Still think he is about as mobile as a dump truck but can pass like pirlo.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Oct 2018 22:39:01
Berm You're right his tackling not great tonight but distribution and positional sense excellent. I think you need to concede defeat with N'golo Zinedine Phillips. Hands off Tottingham 😂.

03 Oct 2018 07:57:12
very true i just wish he was further up the pitch.

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Oct 2018 11:13:37
He doesn't need to make tackles, just guide the opponents towards the centre-halves and/ or full-backs, they're the experts.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Oct 2018 20:56:52
Or. it’s another away game where we are dominating chances and possession. And due to everyone’s frustration (including my own) at the missed chances.

I think due to the fact that we always seem to want to break the net rather than show some composure

Still another 45 mins to go and yes we may slip further if we don’t win tonight but wasn’t so long ago we had Heckingbottom and our daily Orta out campaign. going to give the lads at least the 90 minutes until I review. And sorry Berm, we have probably the most skilled talented coach in English football so I think he does know what he’s doing.

Believable3 Unbelievable0

02 Oct 2018 21:05:37
you say that but he ain't won much to be given that title (think pep and mourionho would disagre) and recent results would disagree. great we scored and better second half but goal was a worldly and we can't rely on them. second half lot lot better but first half was so so so poor. no shots on target is a damming stat one shot from inside the goal area (that went over) is another.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Oct 2018 21:35:41
Look Berm, I appreciate you’ve had some unfair stick of late. But my view on Bielsa is just my opinion (I’d never heard of him before he joined) based upon Peps view and Ponch’s views. That being said I believe this is the best we’ve looked as a unit for many a year.

But of course Berm we have different views in this instance but that’s fine too, what makes it such a good banter site.
ALAW.

Agree2 Disagree0

02 Oct 2018 21:53:32
Bermo you talking bollox again mate. Ok bielsa ain’t won much but he ain’t managed a big team until now!
The guy is a proper maverick and I’m delighted to have him on board. The man would of won loads if he had the opportunities some coaches have had. Apologies for the first remark!

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Oct 2018 21:54:07
Class, I think the mostelling aspect is that he has achieved what he has with pretty much the same players that failed so miserably last year under PH.

Agree1 Disagree0

02 Oct 2018 22:04:24
I agree mate everyone opion is valid and of course yours is well founded. Mb has great rep, great c. v and clearly done a good job at leeds, however that doesn't make him perfect nor does it mean we can critices him

mournino is one of the greatest mangers ever however at the moment he is making a hash of man utd job, pep again one of the greatest ever but again first year at man city he made a lot of mistakes

he has done great job but recent results and performances have been poor in my opinion with some obvious problems and fixes. pleased with win tonight but not the performance, same with millwall, burm, sheff wed, swans game. of course this is hard league so not every thing will go right but i hope he addresses some of what i see to be problems with tactis.

Agree1 Disagree0

02 Oct 2018 22:35:22
cork i assume your post was ironic as you say i'm talking bollox then call Argentina, marseille and lazio small teams who never win anything?

either irony or proof of I. Q.?

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Oct 2018 23:51:05
Bermo marseille and lazio were very short lived I believe. In fact I think he done a runner at lazio after five minutes!
My point was that he never had the opportunities at a big club like his so called disciples.

Agree0 Disagree0

03 Oct 2018 07:58:03
argentina. had time and talent there and underperformed, also had time at bilbia but did well there so there is hope.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Oct 2018 20:41:25
Poor first half. Getting bored saying it- No cutting and on the rare occasions we get a scoring chance we waste it. Harrison, Alioski Roberts are all poor. Roberts might as well stayed at home from the contribution he's made. If we don't covert a chance into a goal soon I can see us losing this one.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

02 Oct 2018 20:49:23
Have to agree. Very one paced, no real intensity. Passing is sloppy with no quality from the wings. Really need to get back Hernandez and Roofe as they were a big reason why we started the season so well.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Oct 2018 21:06:17
they have been poor but also so isolated what chance did they have first half?

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Oct 2018 20:41:15
what an awful half of football

Hull are poor and not a single shot on target

we only created one good chance and that was a great assist but Aloiski (ciritized by many but created our only decent chance)

I know i will get slaughtered for this but I have so many critcisms of MB's tatcits

KP passing was immense that half but he is being used so poorly by MB,

KP plays so deep deeper than our Cb's. This is plain wrong, firstly because of his position most of his passes are sideways or five yards forward, anyone could do this and you are wasting his talent there. yes he can and does hit wonder passes but how many goals will you create that way? a few and they will be great but not many. He needs to be further forward where his passes will hurt. Other reason this is wrong is he is not mobile to move forward which leaves our attackers islotaed having to make a wonder pass or beat three men to make anything happen (hence no shots on goal) . Also Kp can't tackle (didnt win a tackle again) this leaves defence open and again not his fault he is being used poorly

roberts is isloated and having to come so deep to get the ball no wonder he ain't scoring,

aloiski and harrision both off side a lot and both unsupported

think it is just so negitive, yes we have a lot of the ball, yes our pass completion must be high but we offer about as much penertation as a enuch

Mb is great manager but recent results have been poor and he must realise this is something that needs to be fixed

sorry for rant but really disspointed with that half at least with monk he shot at goal, i could be hull keeper and it would still be 0-0.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

02 Oct 2018 20:26:38
Chances being missed again, becoming a worrying trend. I hope we can start to put some of them away. Alioski and Harrison disappointing up to now.

Huth, what we going to do with him! Play him instead of Beradi, Cooper or Pontus? Put him on the bench instead of one of them? Put him in the under 23s and displace one of the good future hopes there? I just don’t think it’s Bielsas way. He is going to get on with it with what we’ve got.

Corkie - we've already got an injury crisis. Our best players are out. Current team are not doing it at the moment compared to when Roofe and Hernandez were fit - Bamford should be featuring more regularly and he is crocked so we have no reliable striker at this level. Defence is a worry with Berardi crocked and Shackleton not back and most importantly arguably our best player in the 10 mins he's been fit for us - Forshaw is still not getting any regular football.

How many more do you want out before its a crisis?

recent results have been poor with us just scraping draws in games we should have won and let's not even go there with the Brum game. we need these players back asap or we will slip down the table for another mid-placed finish.

Fixtures are about to come thick and fast in the next few months and i have serious reservations if the same threadbare 11 players can last the distance.

Panic not Alf. Top o table by bedtime.

Agree1 Disagree0

02 Oct 2018 15:34:45
Alfie, deep breath and relax!

Current team not doing it, 25 chances against weds, so they must be doing sonething!

Defense, Beradi, not even in what a lot of people would say is the strongest cab pairing of Cooper and Pontus, back together again now.

Shackleton is back and playing, been on the bench and played a half for the under 23s.

Forshaw, again been on the bench and played in 2 of the last 3 under 23 games. Bielsa not rushing him back, but might still prefer Phillips and Klich anyway.

In the under 23s we have Aapo Halme, Hugo Diaz and Pascal, who are capable of coming into the squad if needed.

If you look at the first team squad and the under 23s, defensive strength doesn’t really worry me.

Where you are obviously right is the impact of losing, Roofe, Bamford and Hernadez at the same time. Not sure you could really have planned for that without spending a lot more money, leaving players in the reserves and stunting the growth of younger players.

Give Roberts a bit more time. Roofe has played nearly 70 times for the club and it’s only really during his last 6 that fans have been united in raving about him. If Georgie thinks he will come good, that works for me!

Let’s hope we’re having all of our bad luck at the same time.

Agree5 Disagree0

02 Oct 2018 17:24:11
I am starting to wonder whether we were a bit premature in baying for Orta's blood. Some of his signings were written off by me and a few others as crap. New manager, feels like new players. Maybe his signings looked poor due to the inadequacies of our managers of the day, rather than poor judgement on his part. They must have looked like quality where we poached them from, so maybe we were wrong about him. Open to the suggestion that I was wrong.

Agree2 Disagree0

02 Oct 2018 17:49:42
Seems he was spot on about Mr Klich

We brought in a lot of players that needed time to settle and get used to the league, not all of them will.

MB seems to get more out of them

Just look what QPR did the last time they hit the premiership, spending and signing lots of players doesn’t always work

Better models are Bournemouth, Burnley and to a certain extent Southampton and Swansea, build gradually with young players with a sell on value

Comes a point when you have to stop selling ( see Swansea for details) or it goes pear shape

I’m confident once back in the premiership, few would want to move on. No better place to play

ALAW.

Agree2 Disagree0

02 Oct 2018 17:58:47
I said that Orta Tory,

loads gave him stick when he was getting ones for the future before they had a chance to grow and show 'the future' a lot of his signings at borough have done well and now some of ours are looking decent.

the manager makes all the difference and MB and his team will show orats singings true worth.

02 Oct 2018 19:27:38
Oh sorry Alf I see now what you mean with what I said. I wouldn’t say four players out is an injury crisis though. Seven or eight maybe but not four. Having four out at one time would be common enough in most squads.
