Season 23/24 | The Official Match Thread| Hull City vs Swansea City | The EFL Championship

Plenty to like there, see what a bit of pace can add!
Started to back off them towards the end of the first half, even the chuckle brothers at the back look reasonably assured...

Half time thoughts:

Cullen showing Yates how to play as a lone forward. Clinical with his one chance and has done well spreading the ball bringing others into play

Ronald again has been superb. Really looking forward to seeing him and Key together when Key returns from injury

Fulton has been better as defensive midfield giving Grimes license to roam forward with his better distribution. Still goes missing sometimes when the defenders need an out ball though

Placheta growing into the game as the half went on

Defence has been solid by recent standards

 

[K23]

A good half.

However, this is now a situation we've been in quite a few times before when we've been ahead at 1/2 time and the opposition come flying out of the blocks for the 2nd half and it always seems to come as a complete surprise to us and we usually get completely overrun and concede within the first 5 minutes. Hopefully, LW's team talk will make us aware that THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN and to be prepared for it.

And Luke ain't no Martin

Havent we mainly been thrashed by half time - under Luke - so this is uncharted waters ?

A very, very good performance so far, but a team in the play off positions must have something about them. They'll come out flying after a half time bollocking, we HAVE to be up for it. Come on guys, let's do this.

Cracking first time finish by Cullen from a zippy corner on the deck by Tymon

just seen the highlights. it's not often we do them. very nicely worked with us blocking off the markers to make the space. Good finish too. From what I saw at the back end of that half there seems to be a lot of space for us to attack. Ronald is looking even better. Not just a threat with his pace, but his overall game looks better. Been tracking back and protecting the ball, not just charging forward into dead ends. he could end up being the signing of the season for us if he carries on like this.

We need to up our pass accuracy in the 2nd half.

I'm not sure I've got the energy Pego. Can't I just sit back and crack open a beer instead? I've got a couple of San Miguels on rapid chill in the freezer

Didn't realise that Hull were in 6th place. They have looked extremely ordinary today

Hi Russell. Nice of you to drop in

 

[bakajack]

Apparently dirty Leeds took the lead with a blatant Bamford handball

 

[FearOfAJackPlanet]

Just don't let this be another case of crushing disappointment.

 

[Captain_Sham]

QPR pegged back.

 

[bakajack]

Ramsey back from injury for the first time since September for Cardiff.
