Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Hull City 2 Swansea City 1 | The EFL Championship

[BlasterJack]

A Christmas miracle that we have gone in level.
The only real effort was from our supporters making the trip.
Please make some bloody changes

 

[Swanjaxs]

Cabango own goal for me, whats everyone else saying?

 

[JackSomething]

Dreadful,dreadful football…isn’t there an ex Southampton manager available??

I like your thinking, but unfortunately for us, Pochettino took the US national team job.

Nah, original shot was on target so will be given to the striker

 

[Dr. Winston]

if you look at the stats it looks like we edged that half - wtf

That's precisely the problem and how modern coaches in the Martin/Williams style justify their decisions.

 

[FearOfAJackPlanet]

Trying to be positive, I'm not sure we can play much worse than that, so I'm hopeful of improvement in the 2nd half.

 

[Cooperman]

Cullen or Vip off? How is that going to help?? Get Fulton off and put Franco on. Then put Bianchini on for MPH. Get Grimes out of the defence and tell him to attack at every chance. Williams has absolutely zero idea on how to coach an attacking team!

Eom isn’t doing anything out wide so bring him central.

Looked like a cross to me, but will probably go to the forward.

That’s how managers like Martin keep getting plaudits.

 

[Gors Buster]

Rob Phillips and Robbo not impressed at all.

 

[biggar]

Am I the only one who thinks that Eom has offered very little since he joined the club? He performed best in that friendly at home!

I know players take time to settle but I’m not seeing what others are seeing thus far.

Has there been an era in football that has been so boring? I'm not only talking what we've been privy to for the last 4 seasons.

It seems there's a epidemic coursing through the veins of the modern game where certain stats are more important than actually scoring more goals than the opponents.

 

[Cooperman]

No changes. The goal killed off any hope of even the smallest of tweaks.

 

[Resolvenjack]

No changes at HT, says a lot about Williams.

Metrics, statistical analysis, that's where the problem lies. Flair players, creative players, players who do stuff out of the usual are being increasingly sidelined by the Grimeses of the World. Racking up wonderful numbers that people can point to a spreadsheet and declare will end up in better results, whilst the entertainment decreases accordingly.
