v Hull City (h) - 29/12/2024

We look pretty poor

[Tom]

ACD has one cleared off the line, it’s sounded pretty negative up until then with Gueye getting in Cantwells way as he went to strike a few minutes ago. Both those 2 apparently having poor games, Gueye just scuffed one.

ACD has to start every game over Hedges. FFS Papa

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

We must do better than Gueye.

Excited to see Gueyes mandatory assist, miskick and yellow card 

There's the miskick, assist and a yellow for bingo

Hyam lucky to escape yellow.

Alan Kelly putting a chunk of blame on Pears for playing it to him but we have to accept that these are risks we take playing out from the back

[onlyonejackwalker]

We are doing ok. Kicking towards the Darwen End. A couple of good moves and half chances. One cleared by a defender with the keeper beaten. This season has proven we are happy at 0-0. No need to panic.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Crap this.  

[Exiled in Toronto Mk2]

Sounds like Bayes has got a hangover. Scrappy game but we’ve had one off the line and Papa’s goal bound flick a la Sunderland’s second blocked by a defender with better nous than Hyam had

This is really scrappy and sluggish. 

Am I imagining things or have Hyam and Batth swapped sides? I could swear Batth usually plays on the left. 

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

We were due a game like this.

If we win this one I will be a believer 

[yeti-dog]

Random thoughts:

We look lethargic...

Gueye couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo..

Pears punches the ball because he can't catch it...

[booth]

The worst thing about this performance is we’ve allowed Hull’s confidence to grow with our own bad passing/finishing/defending/Pears.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Big talk needed half time.

So do nearly every other keeper today tbf.

It's all about the 3 points. When have we ever been thrilling to watch?

I back JE for this 

[superniko]

Poor distribution from Pears and good performance from ACD about all I’ve taken from that.

I’d stick on Leonard now - bit of energy upfront 

[Forever Blue]

Assuming we are in a play off race, results today have gone and are going in our favour. 
 

3 points would be rather terrific. 

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

That was a hard watch. A few let offs giving the ball away. Pears looks Pearsy.  Not much going forward. Baker an absolute passenger here. 

[islander200]

Cantwell has been poor again.

Need to be getting the ball to Crozier Durberry more 

We need to be getting 3 points from this 

[Andy]

Pretty dull game, but ACD has been lively.

Pears has been poor this half, passing directly to their attackers on at least 2 occasions and dropping a standard catch.
Luckily, he got away with all of them.

We've set up as if we'd play to Gueye's strengths, yet haven't done that at all.
He's been poor, to be honest.
I'd shove Leonard on for the 2nd half, I'm sure he'd do better.

Still one we should win, if we keep it tight at the back.

I think Cozier Dubbery will be key here in the second half. He looks the most threatening by a mile. 

[Tom]

From the sounds of it I’d be bringing Gueye off for Leonard or Ohashi at half time then introduce the other 15 later 

A scrappy 1-0 would be a treat
