We are a team that has come up from League One with the same team that got us here and I think Powell trusted his players to get him a point or snatch a win near the end. He knows his players better than anyone so he knew what he was doing. We were carved open a few times in the 2nd half but to fix that you bring on another defender and take off an attacking option which inevitably invites more pressure. Definitely a game of 2 halves, Ours in the first and theirs in the second. Overall a well earned point thanks to Hamers instincts who could be an international keeper if he keeps this form up.
Forgot to mention the clever wag who, when the north stand gave it the usual "Oooooo, You're ****" chant when their keeper had a goal kick, replaced the last word with WET! Made me chuckle.
Bit disappointed with the draw.Think Chris Powell got it wrong today. Don't know why he employed those tactics but we had no width. Thought Jacko and Pritch were largely anonymous. It was a game I feel we could have won and we should have seen Cook and Green, IMHO. But to see no subs at all baffled me. Was the goal offside? I didn't think that it was.
First real game that I've been dissapointed with the manager. 0-0 going nowhere yet he makes makes absolutely no subs. No wingers on the pitch either so we were unlikely ever to create chances. Extremely negative tactics .
hmmm - I wonder where i've heard those comments before ????
I've been a "guest" on here for over 3 years. Not a massive looker at the site but even as a non-member got to know those who's opinion I respected. I read last week (your words) that you were leaving the site. I actually plucked up the courage to join on the back of that. I can't stand negativity. Anyway, I don't know you personally but please try and be a bit more positive.
Ok then, if it pleases you, i'll p**s off...............the fact that I've been a member on here for 5 yrs, been a season ticket holder since 1992, and go to over 30 games a season means nothing to a Johnny-come-lately like yourself.
No hold on - why don't I stay & you p**s off !!!!!!!

Now I like golfaddick .... and I like Robbie T ...... But which one is best ?
I listened to the game on BBC Radio Humberside. According to the commentator Charlton, especially in midfield, were 'underpowered and very lightweight, the players were too easily shaken off the ball and lacked pace, stamina and were generally overwhelmed by bigger more committed Hull players'. Is this fair comment ? The consolation is that we were very good from corners and free kicks, Stephens especially coming in for high praise for his deliveries.

that sounds really harsh. they had better players than us yes but it wasn't like we were being pushed around and not competing. we wasn't great but neither were hull.

towards the end of the game perhaps.To say hull were more commited is incorrect and we had the majority of the first half. if the comments were made summing up the entire 90 mins imo are massively exaggerated.
Sadly, I find myself in agreement to some degree. This was the only game that the Hull commentatotors had seen us play and in this context I find their comments understandable albeit partisan and OTT.

Is the right to comment based on length of service here then Golfie ?

Careful - he might use his flawed logic on you next
He's got on more 121 buses than me in the last 10 years so I don't have a leg to stand on.
I agree with the above but it looked to me that CP settled for a point with 20 minutes to go.Surely if he wanted to go for it he woul;d have replaced Jackson with Cook, A little concerned about the full backs in the last 2 games, they don't seem to be able to get forward enough which, perhaps, is restricting the service to the 2 front men, both of whom are playing very well. Particularly impressed with Hamer and Morrison. However overall a reasonable start and no need to panic as we have played tough teams, we need to assess after about 10 games
Agree about the full backs- they are now an important part of our attacking threat. Wiggins has tried but has come up against a decent rb in the last two home games- Did ok against Birmingham though. Away from home there may be more room for them to do this. We have to remmber that we are one of only 5 teams that haven't been beaten yet - Sir Chris clearly wanted to lay some foundations down and nobody can say he hasn't done that.
Wiggins was brilliant at getting forwards against Birmingham. Solly has maybe been a little shaky when up against powerful, quick wingers. On the whole he has held his own though.

Can't be true as last game of 10/11 was 0-0 ( v Hartlepool)
