Back down to earth - Hull Post Match

[Monk]

On a side note I saw Bernie stood outside the ticket office on 86 minutes looking totally dejected. (yes OK slate me for leaving early today if you like - I don't usually but couldn't stand it today)

[Daggers]

Looks like there's more than one.

There was me thinking Leicester weren't tarnished with the 'ex-prem bitter b*stards' brush. I was wrong.

We may not have your history, but at the moment that's all you have, and you'd give your right ball to be where we are now.

Some of you need to wake up and live in the real world.

Erm - does anyone seriously give a toss about this person and his little team that are currently doing well punching above their weight?

He certainly doesn't otherwise he would be at the game rather than coming onto this forum to try to prove he has an e-penis.

Pathetic.

*block*

NB See, that's how you put people on block Kilworth

[clazkel]

Don't know if anyone has mentioned this but i don't understand why Hayles was put up front at half time and Fryatt put from the right wing to the left. I don't think Fryatt is a winger so he should be upfront, i think Fryatt is being runied as he seems to be losing confidence on the wing, whereas first half Hayles was playing well on the wing. As soon as Campbell is brought on Hayles goes on the wing. I can't understand it!

[Daggers]

Just made a mountain out of a molehill. Andy was on the row in front of what he should've been on so 5 stewards felt the need to grab onto him and try and chuck him out because they thought he didn't have a ticket.

I don't know - if I was going to throw anyone out of the ground then I'd start with the troublesome trainspotters...they can be right arsey buggers if you don't watch them closely.

[Prem Express]

Majority of us do mate, every team has some supporters that are cocks, we and yourselves are no different.

We're where we are, because that's where we deserve to be, just like if you go up, that's where you'll deserve to be.

If you don't though, i can see it being hard for you to hold onto Campbell.

If we don't go up, we won't see Campbell in a City shirt next season, simple as.

He'll go to Sunderland or someone of a similar ilk.

He's been mentioned in some quarters as the club's greatest ever player, and he's not even ours!

EDIT-I'll go now, some are prepared to talk sense on here, you know who you are. Good luck in your fight against the drop.

[Ozwin]

Hull were in our boat last season so this fella should keep his mouth shut. He knows what it's like being down in our shoes so needs to zip it.

NO. He's probably from Grimsby. Glory supporter or somemut.

[Father Ted]

Yes, who are Hull City? I'll tell you who they are. There another team of rubbish that again has beaten us this season at home! Preston, Blackpool, Hull, it doesn't matter who it is, all of them are rubbish.

I wouldn't call it arrogance. I'd call it expectation. We should expect to beat Hull at home. I don't care about league positions. Everybody in this league is as rubbish as the next.

The bottom of the Premiership will be a laughing stock next season. I can't see anyone staying up, or beating Derby's points tally either!

Yeah, Stoke, Bristol City and Hull in the Premiership - if that was to happen it would definitely be a new look Premiership and with teams like Everton slowly breaking into the top 4 and others like Portsmouth all going for a UEFA Cup place - next year the Premier League could be very interesting!

I thought today was very bad, just like the Plymouth game it was entirely down to Holloway's tactics. I was under the impression we played 3/5 at the back against West Brom, a formation that allows your wingbacks to get forward to compensate for your lack of wingers. Today, Bruno was playing as a deep lying playmakers, despite the fact he can't pass or recieve the ball in difficult situations that require a touch of agility and quick feet. This meant that the fullbacks, and that is what they were, could not get forward nearly enough considering we did not have any wingers. Alas we spent the whole first half lumping it up to Howard with Hayles and Fryatt having to pull wide to give the side any sort of shape.

In the second, he needed to make a change but he made the wrong one. We went 4-4-2 but with Bazza Hayles and Howard upfront we have zero mobility. No threat like that posed by Frazer Campball. Fryatt is also never, ever a left winger. It took him till 75 minutes to make a change and by that time the game was gone. We should have lost 4 or 5 nil today boys.

We are going down.

[davieG]

Yeah but we dont need one of their fans coming onto this forum. He must know someone is going to rise to the bait. Perhaps he should be made forum leader or something, make him feel more appreciated.

Well he's not been abusing or gloating other than in a jokey way, if you can't take a bit of banter then I'd suggest you hibernate for the summer and beyond if we get relegated because then we will be awash with other fans taking the piss in ways unimaginable up to now. So I'd suggest you and whoever learns to stand up and take it.

We won't go down. Again, I haven't factored this game into my predictions for us avoiding the drop. Our must win games still lie ahead of us. And they're all at home!

The final place up for grabs is between us, Cov and Southampton. Take a look at their run-ins and be glad ours is not as bad.

[Mort]

I take it today's excuse for Fryatt is that he was "out of position"...?

[Ozwin]

No Fryatt was just wank.

[Sods]

Were they constantly on to you and your mate trying to get you to sit? I only noticed them doing it to you.

Yeah. Told us 3 times. Don't think he really wanted to do it to be honest. I did ask why it was just us being asked but he looked like he was about to cry.

Saw them chucking Andy about, fooking idiots the stewards were. The club always go on about getting behind the lads but how can we when were told to sit down and shut up. Fair enough if their was people complaining but their wern't any, another thing that pissed me right off was that it was only us who were being asked to sit, ive had a bloody season ticket for ages then Joey Bloggs pays a fiver in G1 area and dosen't get asked to sit once.

If Holloway is as tactically clueless in these vital 6 matches though, the comparatively easier run in won't make a blind bit of difference.

The frustrating thing is that we probably have good enough players to stay up, but we won't.

Milan's obviously been holding out and not letting Ollie go so far - probably not wanted to further add to the instability of this club - and I felt that that was the right thing to do.. but if Ollie s going to go in the summer (which he surely will) - why not get rid now to give us some sort of chance of staying in this division.

When the guy in the white jacket came up he kept coming up with all the usual "We'll get him when he goes down at half time" "Kevin's told us to get him out" "Can I have a word with you". Nice one Barkley, you sit in your office and bark out the orders while the stewards take the flack.

I do have a small bit of sympathy for them, you can tell that guy didn't want to do it, but they have to do what they're told by Barkley.

I agree with the tactically clueless bit in terms of playing players out of position - but are his tactical deficiancies to blame for the players underperforming and not showing the passion, commitment and drive to succeed?

In terms of the left wing for example, the only option is Laczko surely? Nobody else in the squad is a left winger. Yet he doesn't even make the bench! Tactically clueless? Probably so.

[Simi]

I actually can't put into words the difference in feelings compared to this time last week.

I'm so flat.

The players aren't blameless. I'm a bit in disbelief at the different performances they seem to churn out.

But at the same time you can't blame people like N'Gotty for having a bad half when he really shouldn't be playing in that position.

I don't know what Ollie is expecting of some of these players.

Square pegs and round holes.... you said it Ollie

[ibbosuk]

2 A NEW FORWARD LINE FOR NEXT SEASON ....ALL OF THEM (((OUT)))

The guy is talking us into Div 1, FFS MM GET RID!!!

[Mack]

Here comes my two penneth...

If you want to stay loyal to Ollie that's your choice but sadly in my opinion he is the main advocate of our demise.

The team / formation he put out today was a shambles.

The players looked completely lost within the system and I was with them.

The players have to take their share of the blame also, but I thought Ollie spent the transfer window aquiring players to suit his favourite 4-4-2 formation, and had been using his time in training to work on that formation.

So why change it now? At this crucial stage.

Cutting right to the bottom line I believe the only reason Ollie is still in his job is that Milan was hoping to avoid relegation without having to pay up yet another Manager's contract.

It was Milan who created this mess with the Allen farce at the start of the season. We were not exactly in great condition before he let that loon lose on out squad, but post Allen has been one disaster after another.

In my opinion the only chance to stave of the drop is to sack Ollie.

Hopefully by doing so it will have a 'honeymoon' reaction with the squad that will get us the 3-4 wins that will see us safe.

If we dont change we will go down anyway so why not give it a shot?

I have to say I haven't like Ollie since day 1 but I've tried to give him a chance but now I've just lost it with him. And this is the first time I will agree with a dipstick like Ibbosuk.

[Tevez]

I've just decided, I want Kenny Jackett in charge.
