They were our only 2 shots on target too

This is my worry, we aren’t creating many chances. Hull created numerous, 5 more mins and they win that game. Worrying in attack for me at times.

We really could have done with Stamenic today, even Fulton would have been better than having Cullen and Widell on the pitch as two of our midfield three when trying to see the game out against a Hull team that did carry an attacking threat in fairness.

Franco going off was the right call as he did look tired but calls into question why a relatively young player is tired to the point where they need subbing, all action or not.

Chance creation is still an issue IMO, we scored from our two shots on target, and a midfield has to include either Widell or Cullen as a 10, a 6 and two 8s is all very well but none of our midfielders have a real history of scoring goals, and creativity is an issue too.

 

[Swans Jack]

I actually like Eom. Yes he wasn't the best. But wasn't the worse. For me Cullen is the dud. Proberly wrong game for Widell to come on for. I think I would be more upset with today if the team didn't show creativity or anything. We seemed to take it easy and that for us was the nail in the coffin. We played into Hulls hands a bit with them and crosses. Look I keep saying it we are 7th, alot of positives but a few negatives in seeing out the game. I actually have no issues with parking the bus but not on 60th Minute at home against Hull.

Blaming the ref is pretty pathetic, we were clinging on for the lat twenty.
Early days but its worrying that we have better quality players but still seem to want to play the same way.

We were clinging on, but if the ref blows for a clear foul on Ronald (or the soft as shit linesmen looking right at it waves his flag) right before their goal, it doesn't happen. We probably escape with 3 points and all agree that we got away with it a bit. So not pathetic to blame the ref at all when his missing a clear foul directly lead to their equaliser.

Aye it's almost as if all of our players play the way they're told to by a manager, what a weird one!!

He's been shite this season. High hopes after his finish last year but he hasn't kicked on at all

He didn't miss it. The cheating cunt just didn't give it

The ref was shocking. Yes we was clinging on at home but he was terrible. Look its a match with alot of players returning from international duties, it's another point gained. And a game we would of lost under Williams. Did Sheehan get fee things wrong? sure, but we move on. Cough 7th in table

 

[legoman]

Never mind that, I knew we were in big trouble first half when one of their players went in studs up on Franco then 10 seconds later he's booking Tymon for an innocuous foul on half way line.

Also don't know what game some people were watching re us "hoofing" it. There was a spell of about 5 mins around the 80th minute where they couldn't get the ball off us.

Bent ref, plain and simple. I hope he goes back home tonight and finds his Mrs in bed with his Dad. Muppet.

I might be mistaken here, Andrew, but you're not completely happy, are you?

 

[J_B]

Yeah, Hull got what they deserved but the ref was actually cheating by the end.

Had injury and was out alot in pre season. I think he will get some form back.

 

[Frankie Burrows Cap]

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.

 

[tardylum]

We do not need to worry. It is a work in process. At the very least, we look organized and like a coherent side. That can get you a long way in this league. Rarely do we ever look open and poor defensively as a team. Most of our mistakes are from individual errors. We have improved in 2025.

There are definitely concerns though. We have had a very easy schedule and some of the wins we have had, have been against sides that have gone on to take big beatings from other sides.

I am not worried about us defensively. We definitely are not going to implode and be in any trouble this year. We just do not look like a consistent threat going forward. We are low on ideas when we have the ball. Our midfield is very hard working, with little else there in the opposition half.

Idah should be good. But he will probably be limited to very few chances a game, so will need the team to be better behind him.

I think 99% of the fanbase are happy with the work done so far, we just need to see the team make the next step together.

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.

 

[Swanjaxs]

They deserved at least a point, shit happens, move on.
