Back down to earth - Hull Post Match

[MikeyT]

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

I think the only 2 players that can come out of todays game with any sort of pride are Paul Henderson and Barry Hayles.

If not for Henderson the score could have been maybe 4 or 5!

In my opinion!

And you could see Hayles was trying everytime he got the ball to make something happen but sadly no one els around him appeared to be bothered.

I think we need to play loads of inspirational songs before kick off. Is it me or are they always the same songs on repeat for however long? Get some Eye of the Tiger blaring out me thinks.

1 That was Holloway's team

2 Most were Holloway's players.

3 That was Holloway's tactics.

4 That was Holloway's half time team talk.

And what were they. Absolute garbage.

He can't motivate them. He obviously can't coach them. No pro coach could possibly turn ok players into the garbage he has turned them into. His tactics are rubbish.

He's brought in wide players but what do we get. 1st Hume and now Fryatt playing wide left!

"Hayles and Howard were not bought to play together" obviously another one of his pathetic jokes.

N'gotty plays in midfield.

Square pegs round holes.

what I saw today was another disgrace. Fair play to Hull they won fair and square and if we had lost 7-0 it would not have flattered them. We were second to just about every 50-50 ball. We didn't make their keeper make a single save i can remember. Now Hull are efficient but no more but they made us look way below their level.

The players need to take a long hard look at themselves and there aren't many I would cry over if they left at the end of the season.

what gets me the most is that I'm not that upset we lost I'm angry that we lost and the manner of that loss makes me start to feel that I don't care whether or not we go down and after 40+ years of following city I never thought I would start to feel that way.

But the main responsibility lies with the manager. He has one last chance next week to prove me wrong. I very much hope he will but I'm not confident he is a worthy manager of our club.

We should play the tune of the Great Escape.

Hayles was good first half but didnt see much of him second, saying that we didnt see much on anyone.

This new formation that Ollie wants to play seems work in stages but with Fryatt i cant see it working, he was truely awful today. Much prefer to see DJ in that role.

Brilliant performance by Hederson. Hendrie didnt have an effective game but he tried his bollocks off and never gave up.

[ibbosuk]

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 Genius like Ibbosuk.

MMM.......interesting........ you may not as stupid as your posts suggest.

What and not the Donkey

Jacket we have at the moment

[CupidStunt]

I havent been down to the walkers as much as i would have liked this season,but that might have been a godsend

But i went down today,and oooooh jesus,what a load of shite that was,i cant believe this is the same team that beat west brom last week

Maybe its just me,but i have seen others comment how good barry hayles played,personally i thought he was a crock of shite,stuck out on the left wing,with no pace,maybe he looked good in what was a very poor team performance from everybody,apart from henderson,who made the score look respectable at best

hendrie was the best city player,because at least he tried...he even told henderson which way to go to save the penalty.

From then on,when the pen was saved,i thought this was it,the moment we would take the game and at least get a goal back.

but what happened?....nothing

we then went on to concede one of the softest of goals i have ever seen

does this bunch of players want to get relegated?...it seems that way,based on todays showing

What was nearly a full house at the walkers, produced a inept display from a bunch of players that looked they arent even that bothered,and left me totally gutted in what a sat and watched.

Based on what i saw from Hull,they dont look anything special to me,but the main difference was that they wanted it more,everytime the ball dropped into our box,we had no time to think,we just had to clear it,but when the ball fell into theirs,they had the time to control it

I cant recall even a single shot on target...if someone can correct me on that i would be astounded.

Does Ollie derserve the Boot?...That i still cant answer,as the players can produce the goods when they want to,as we saw last week

Will he get the Boot?.......I think his cards are already marked,and I will be suprised on monday if he hasnt gone,and Dowie has a crack at the last 6 games.

Back to back wins! IT DOESN'T HAPPEN! JESUS PEOPLE...LEARN!

Hull City will go up this year, probably automatically. They are bang in form and full of confidence. That's all you need in this division. We are/have neither, hence we are where we are. They're by no means a great side and they don't play attractive football, but they literally steamrollered our midfield today. Hendrie and Oakley were nowhere. If ever a game needed someone like Weso or possibly Clemence to keep us solid, it was today. Anyway, our fans were incredibly observant in pointing out that Marney, Windass and Pedersen are all fat fucks and with that twat Ashbee in there aswell, they were always going to be more powerful than us in the centre of the park. I thought Ollie recognised this in putting N'Gotty in that holding role we saw him perform reasonably well at the Hawthorns last week. Unfortunately, this turned out to be an absolute disaster with Bruno sitting on our back four and passing like McAuley.

I thought the team selection was wrong and the players didn't help their manager by playing unintelligent, very poor football. How many Leicester City footballers does it take to realise when they're playing into the wind, they need to keep the ball on the deck? The answer is obviously more than 11.

Thanks to the part-time 5,000 who clearly made for a great atmosphere. That is perhaps harsh because we do know that the atmosphere is dependant on what happens on the pitch, but it just pissed me off that even after the penalty, our fans were as quiet as a mouse apart from the 30 seconds immediately after the save. Oh, and thanks to the stewards for doing a fantastic job of picking on youngsters. I have to say that a lot of older fans in F1 today agreed with that, and it's a shame because the stewards up there are usually decent. On a side note, Jamie's reaction to when that steward grabbed Andy was the best moment of the match!

What a difference 168 hours makes in your mood.

[davieG]

We should have played yesterday because Hull crucified us!

[Mort]

No Fryatt was just wank.

No Change there then...

I know i shouldnt be having cheap shots at a time when we're staring relegation in the face, but couldnt help myself... 5-2-3 was a recipite for disaster from the off and Fryatt's inclusion with two slow forwards was just making a bad situation worse... still "you dont change a winning team" as i was being told last week, if only it was so simple!

I'd have liked a Sunday game myself, we would have won and the rebirth of Leicester City would have been seen........

For a week at least..

[Suffolk_fox]

I am amazed that no one has said 'Ollie Out' yet...

Seems a fair assessment... the formation and team selection smacked of an utter lack of ideas but worse still an act which totally ceeded the iniative to the opposition and a team like Hull wont hang about in pressing a team who's confidence looks shaky.

I dont mean to sound like Thracian, and I'm not advocating some kind of "total football" but five defenders, a thread bare midfield and a super-slow set of forwards at home is only going to end in tears against any but the most flaky teams, against an in form, agressive team like Hull it's plain irresponsible.

[AyewJoking]

to be fair, I did.

[Lineker's Left Foot]

Ian Holloway was a disappointing choice for manager made by a disappointing chairman. However, the most disappointing thing was the stupid optimism placed in Holloway by fools because of the West Bromwich Albiom result. Just face it.... Holloway is like a rabbit staring into headlights at Leicester City.

He is out of his depth at a biggish club like ours!!

Everything about that post is correct. Poor selection, poor tactics, poor execution. Just poor.

Oh and before ibbosuk or anyone starts to suggest that I'm turning on Ollie after last week when I backed him 100%, I'm not. I still think he'll be the man to keep us up, and hopefully sort us out mentally over the summer.

He's had four months to sort us out mentally, and failed.

What makes you think he should be given any more time?

[Thracian]

Just one question for the Leicester City management. How the sodding hell can you win a game of football without scoring?

That's the ninth time this season we've failed to score in a home game in 19 games - what an utterly pathetic record

Our prospects were summed up in the first three or four minutes when Hayles somehow wormed his way through to the goal-line with a sublime bit of skill and pushed a low ball acrosss the six yard box but it went to waste because no-one had driven into the box. What the hell is Fryatt for?

Three minutes into the game and a golden opportunity awaits anyone who believes - and we don't have a soul on site.

Why? Because we're determined not to concede anything. We're playing cat and mouse. We have no sodding conviction and our one chance through all the game to get ahead goes begging because we've no-one in the box.

You've got six games to save your millions, MM.

Six games to put a smile on your players faces.

Six games to get them believing in themselves.

Six games to stop paying lip service to anyone.

It was always likely that WBA was a freak result.

Gained because of special circumstances.

Well now we know the reality.

And there's six games to put it right.

And you, MM have one chance of salvation.

I don't suppose for a minute you'll take it.

It's up to you.

You can give me a ring if you need some help.

Or more likely you'll chuck away our status out of fear and a lack of self-determination.

Put simply we need our team to have attitude.

And they don't have it.

And that, more than anything, will leave us vulnerable to every opponent during the relegation run in.

[lookwhaticando]

What the hell is Fryatt for?

His name makes for great Du Du Du Du-ing.

RatBoy has had 25 games to show us SOME improvment in our League positsion or points per game... (RATBOY has showed us NONE)

So you want to give RatBoy your 100% support for showing no improvment over 25 games??

We have recently lost to every team we have played around us in the relegation zone (Home and Away) but RatBoys the man for you!! ...U NOB!

Nine games at home without a goal, including eight under Holloway. How can anyone defend that?

No doubt someone will find a way.

Hope it's not Mandaric, though...
