Championship Playoff

[bakajack]

We really needed Inoussa to settle into the championship quickly. Didn’t happen but I’m not writing him off.
We desperately need an outlet, one that doesn’t pass back to Cabango if faced with a 1 on 1.

Likewise I haven't given up on him yet either.
Matos hasn't had that much opportunity to work with him before his injury
He was half fit by the final couple of games with nothing riding on them there was zero point in risking a recurrence

A win for football , no argument now ,
Ollie McBurnie brilliant season for Hull carried their attack all season , fitting the big man came up with the £200 million goal .
Not going to the World Cup just the
Premier League .

The only thing good about today's final was Oli scoring.

 

[NeathJack]

You are absolutely correct , but we have known about our lack of quality wide players and a lack of a creative goalscoring 10 for 2 seasons now, that won't change until we replace them.

Walta will fill the 10 and chip in with a decent goal total.

Looks like Oli made the right decision who to sign for.

Their manager has done an amazing job, escaped relegation to League 1 on the last day of last season. This season promotion to the promised land. Hats off to him.

The Hull manager said if Sheffield United had Chris Wilder when the season started Ollie wouldn't have joined Hull ,

Head of recruitment at Hull since last May
Martyn Hodge who left Swansea to join them
Considering they have had a transfer ban for the last 2 windows they have done superb .

 

[bakajack]

If Hull had gone down I do wonder if he would have signed for us last summer
Like those Marvel "what if" shorts

 

[CurtessECarr]

The other side of Oli not signing for us. That did us a favour as Vipi may well have played 2nd fiddle and his value and stock would not have been of what it is today.

 

[Pentyrchjack]

There was a moment in the final 15 minutes when nil - nil when that showboater Hackney gave Ollie an "I'm better than you" look, just before Ollie let his football do the talking and scored the winner! I loved Hull's doggedness.

Well, perhaps. I think that if you have a transfer ban you should not be able to pay signing on fees nor big wages, which is what ‘attracted’ McBurnie and others to Hull. I’m not sure there’s many players I’d swap, if any. They’ve had an extraordinarily lucky season where all their shots have gone in. If they’d failed yesterday, I think they’d have been right down the arse end next year. Wouldn’t be surprised if they do a Luton.
