Can't believe how many people are having a go at Pratley. Agreed he was poor last week but generally has been good. And of course Curbs said last week how impressed with him he had been. But there again a load of you used to criticise him.
My daughter's 5th birthday today, so joining a bit late without reading and in a very good mood.
No Williams OR Madison? Wow. We've struggled for creativity at the best of times and now our two creative sparks are off the pitch! I don't really know what to say.
God is it Pratley centre back and Matthews on the left again.
Yes, because last week worked soooooo well....😄😄😄
Well Matthews won us a corner that led to the first goal and got an assist for the other soooooo
Yea and Pratley was outstanding at CB. Ah no wait...
When else has he been shite at CB though?
You're right that Bowyer makes a rod for his own back when he drops the likes of Williams for one bad game as know thats what you'll come back with
Not at all I wouldn’t have started Williams. Definitely would have started Maddison although I agree the pitch might have ruined that.
Pratley has done a job but he’s not a CB. His performance last week showed exactly why he shouldn’t be there, he wasn’t even in the picture for their first goal.
Yeah I equally wasnt impressed with Pratley going walkies, really hope he's learnt from that!!
It was poor but not unexpected because he’s a midfielder. We miss him in midfield too so for me it’s not just about whether he’s been poor at CB. You’ll disagree because you back Bowyer whatever which I respect but he’s doing my head in now.
I got some new colouring pencils for Christmas. I've discovered that Hull City is the only team in the Football League that doesn't have any letters that you can colour in.

And no doubt those who disagree with Bowyer will be saying what a good job he's done if we win today or go on another run without many changes to the team
Assuming we are not playing 3-5-2 and using Maatsen and Matthews as wing backs so the weekly grind goes on. Maatsen can turn into a good mid field player and does give Cafc some much needed pace in the middle of the park.
Much respect to Pratley and Matthews for playing out of position. +1 for both players and young Ruud Maatsen, our Dutch master on the players marks afterwards.
No slagging off from me on the match thread.
Good luck to the players today who wear the shirt and the subs or game changers !
I will support for 98 odd minutes by watching on Valley pass.
Have a good day: that comment is for the players and Lee.
Maddison will play a part; I would prefer 90 minutes.

Exactly. Seems some people are more obsessed with the concept of being ‘out of position’ than the reality of how Pratley has performed. He’s been good at CB and as he gets older it’s not surprising that he’d start to settle into more of that kind of role anyway. Pratley makes fewer mistakes than Deji who is a poor centre half. We’ve only ever seen Deji play badly at CB when he’s been there whereas Pratley has typically been good, but as that’s his ‘official’ position playing Pratley there instead has to be a mistake. It’s very odd
Very uninspired by the team selection and don't get the logic.
The only plus side is that we need a settled team and there are only 2 changes. With one of them forced. Just maybe the players will start to get used to playing out of position? Perhaps my dick will grow 50% with that new pump I've ordered?
Is that a bog standard foot pump or one of the fancy plug in the car types?

I'd much rather be optimistic than two faced
I'm two faced ...... I was optimistic an hour ago. And pessimistic when I saw the team line up.

At the start of the season the whole view on here was that Pratley would be a Centre-Back, apparently he was too slow and old to be playing in Midfield now
Not paying £10 to watch that side again. Too many players either too slow or out of position.
Will be interesting to see now with out the Range Rover on the line how many buys this match gets. With the negative side, I can see a sizeable drop off - I wonder if that will frustrate TS.
Looks like Bowyer's decided our left-back is better than Jonny Williams at Williams' position. I mean who knows, he might be, but he's also quite a good left-back
If you were picking those 11, for reasons, wouldn't it make more sense to have JFC either in front or behind Ian and Matthews in front of Gunter?
JFC was very good at left back against Fulham I don't think he has played there since
Agreed he played well out there but we played three center backs that day which probably helped him defensively.
Yeah but Hull don't have the front 3 Fulham did either
Just seen the line up and can't believe my eyes! Did LB not see what happened last week??? If we pull this rabbit out of the hat there will be much humble pie to eat but...... I'm am

"Yes Boss, I'm going with the same team as last week"
"Yes Boss, the team that scrapped really well for a point"
"Disjointed Boss....? Well, who's got the coaching badge out of the 2 of us"
"P45 Boss......what's one of those..?"
Just preparing my rant for the post match thread ☹
line up.
