Staying the obvious but very disappointing ending. With so many players away on international duty (by Championship standards) a win would have been a very good result.

Opportunity to give a few players minutes again on Tuesday (hopefully Benson) before a tough run of 4 games before the next break.

These days it’s a 16 man game so I understand making subs but I think today was one where you stick with the XI as long as possible based on how the game was going.
Personally I see it as.

Nottingham Forest - Will Win
Birmingham - Draw
Millwall - We Will Win
Blackburn - We Will Win
Leicester - We Will Lose.

Aim for 7 Points in league out of 12 running up to international break.
 
Clinging on is a bit OTT.

They threw players for the last 10-15 mins but the saves Vig had to make were hardly worldies, most of it was just collecting crosses and corners.

For 70-75 mins we hardly gave them a kick. They only had one chance in the entire first half and scored it. And they had a dick of a ref whistling for everything for them.

Daylight robbery for them to come away with a point, totally undeserved I thought they were crap.

To be fair one of his saves was absolutely top notch
 
That free kick on Ronald not given two mins before they scored was a disgrace
Maybe, maybe not, but it's a feature of Ronald's game which I don't like. Claiming the foul, going to ground and forcing the ref into a decision. Tug on the shirt or not, he could have kept going there and we would have been in a strong attacking position, but down he went.
 
Substitutions killed us.
Took our 3 most dangerous players off mun.
Hull deserved at least a point in the end

Normally I would agree with you but today's ref was at it all game. There's a strong argument to be made that the Hull boy should have been off for the tackle on Franco first half, he didn't even think it was a foul. It doesn't help when you've got muppets like him reffing in tight games.
 
We seemed to lose our rhythm after the substitutions. Too many players coming back after the international break didn’t help. Burgess for example. Must have been feeling it towards the end. Having said that Vigs MOM. At least we didn’t lose even though it might have felt like it. Onwards and upwards!
 
Absolutely the
Dumb tactics and dumb substitutions have just cost us two points. I get so pissed off when I see it unravelling in front of my own eyes. The bad loser in me is really narked at that.

Absolutely same here, but we got what we deserved. Never looked to get a 3rd goal and kill the game off. It's all very well introducing game management, but not with 20 minutes plus added time left on the clock. Less said about Cullen and Eom the better, shocking both of them.
 
3 points lost but happy with a point......if any of that makes sense!
Hull targeted out full backs defensively today.
 
How many seconds did we spend in Hull’s box during that game?
I’d go for less than 45.
We were looking really, really good in the first half. Very frustrating.

Where did the 7 minutes added time come from? That's what I want to know. I found it odd he even let play go on when Idoussa went down. Add aggressive foul on Franco and few other fouls. Weird free kick when Tymon body checked a player. No different what McBurnie did to us. Really poor. I don't tend to be all about the ref as we should of wrapped up the game. But still, 7 minutes? 3 to 4 at least.

Played the last 20 as if it was the last 90 seconds
 
Both sides made subs which altered the game. A Second was coming for Hull and we did not try hard enough for the third. I can see why, Hull had a good last 15 in terms of creating chances. Overall a good performance but a tough result.
 
We sat too deep and if we were more creative going forward then we could have opened them up for a 3rd goal.

Sheehan got the subs wrong. I think he prefers to grind out results instead of allowing attacking players to go out and put the game to bed.
