marbelladave Posted 26 December 2012 Share Posted 26 December 2012 Now come on Dave, you have been crying out for us to alter the formation play 3 midfield (no 4-4-2) etc etc, we do that, keep a clean sheet at Hull and you have that criticism.... IMO that's unfair critique! Did not get to the game so difficult to comment on today, several posters who were actually at the game have just suggested that we played quite well to get a point, if that is true then I am more encouraged. I never have an issue with the team fighting hard to get a point in difficult circumstance, but setting up in a defensive 4-5-1, with no one supporting Nugent, that's disapointing.

Happy Fox Posted 26 December 2012 Share Posted 26 December 2012 When Chris Wood signs he will make the difference hopefully, whether that is in a 4-4-2 alongside Nugent or the front man in a 4-3-3 we will see. But which central mid-fielding type player do we need to sign general consensus is Danns and Wellens are surplus to requirements imo i.e Trotter type player or a Koren type player?

peterborofox Posted 26 December 2012 Share Posted 26 December 2012 I heard it was 'cause Pearson bet that you'd moan about it if he brought him on. Yeah me and most the other people around me. No i don't rate him, but Id like to know the thought process of bringing him on over likes of Dyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haydos Posted 26 December 2012 Share Posted 26 December 2012 Yeah me and most the other people around me. No i don't rate him, but Id like to know the thought process of bringing him on over likes of Dyer. He's been dropped for quite a while. Maybe he's been training really well and Pearson thought he had the desire and ability to win us the game. He certainly went close with the free kick and the commentary team made it sound like he was very hungry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_w Posted 26 December 2012 Share Posted 26 December 2012 Yeah me and most the other people around me. No i don't rate him, but Id like to know the thought process of bringing him on over likes of Dyer. Because we needed a goal and Gallagher is a lot more likely to get you one?

marbelladave Posted 26 December 2012 Share Posted 26 December 2012 Dave and an unfair critique? Never! I have never EVER suggested playing King in a more advanced role, that to me is just plain wrong. The lack of support and pace from Knockaert and Marshall that we saw the last time this system was tried made it pretty obvious that this formation is essentially negative, to much so for me.

peterborofox Posted 26 December 2012 Share Posted 26 December 2012 Gallaghers free kick was deflected and never had the legs on it to go in. As for saying Gallaghers more likely to score, he's sscored just in 2 away league games for us. They were penalties. So that doesn't make sense. The game was so open at the back, Dyer with pace couldn't have been less effective than Gallagher surely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5waller5 Posted 26 December 2012 Share Posted 26 December 2012 Well we've really shed the delusions of grandeur so fair play to big Nige for that. We now seem to be falling over ourselves to say that a point at Hull is a good point. Hull ffs not Man Utd. Our level of expectation has just been eroded so far we'll be celebrating getting 10 players in the same kit soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that doesn't make sense. They weren't all penalties though were they. He scored 3 in 2 away games, one was not a penalty. But the fact that we were away from home doesn't stop him from being capable of scoring one of his free-kicks or long shots does it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Fox Posted 26 December 2012 Share Posted 26 December 2012 Beating Burnley means stopping Charlie Austin do that and we will win the game imo. Anyone know whether Chris Wood can play against Huddersfield on News Years day if he gets football league confirmation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbelladave Posted 26 December 2012 Share Posted 26 December 2012 We got a point away at Hull Dave. Be happy with that surely? And move on.. Seriously....? Have our ambitions sunk that low? Our recent form has been poor, in my view due to a more conservative approach that has been obvious from the Millwall game onwards, and today appears to be little different? I say appeared as I was not at the game so don't actually know, a couple of posters who were, suggest that we actually fought hard for a point, if that is the case then I am more encouraged. However, I can't help thinking that a couple of months ago we would have gone to Hull expecting a win... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettsj2 Posted 26 December 2012 Share Posted 26 December 2012 Fantastic result. Away from home against a top 6 side who score for fun? Very impressive clean sheet. This is basically what people have been crying for away from home. Sure things up, tighten up the midfield. Very happy. I reckon we'll beat Burnley and kick off another decent run. Especially if Wood signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_w Posted 26 December 2012 Share Posted 26 December 2012 However, I can't help thinking that a couple of months ago we would have gone to Hull expecting a win... Yes, because Hull were not second on a great run of form a couple of months ago. But even during our best run of form we wouldn't have gone away to face that Hull side and expected 3 points, at least the majority of sensible fans would not have expected three points.

Fox92 Posted 26 December 2012 Share Posted 26 December 2012 Good point for me. Hull is a tough place to go, they have a good record and sit second. The point will be more useful if we can go on a little run again, starting at Turf Moor. Burnley will be tough though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please Hammer Posted 26 December 2012 Share Posted 26 December 2012 I think it has little to do with ambitions being happy with the point. On a bad run of form getting a solid draw away (especially with our away form) against 2nd in the division is certain positive, and it's at least a decent boom before a run of games where we can definitely take back control of the ship.

Of course a point away from home against the team second in the division after the poor run of form we have had is a good result. You're fitting nicely into one of the 'we have a divine right to success' crowd! I agree our results recently have been poor, but TODAY'S is a good result.
