POST-MATCH THREAD: Hull City v Charlton Athletic: Saturday 25th October 2025: KO 15:00

At the game. Excellent result as Hull have a decent side. Understand the need for NJ to change things up. We did really well first 10 mins and could've been 2 up. Hull eased their way into the match, though we became sloppy with passes. Love Kane, but he was the main culprit. Thought Rapter did well initially, but he got bullied out of things as the game went on. 
NJ made the changes early in 2nd half and we then saw what we'd been missing in midfield. Coventry was excellent and we were becoming more dominant. Brilliant move to put Lloyd up front towards the end and pile some pressure on. 
Very good point gained, 7 from 9 in the last three is fantastic. Love this team. 

I thought we were a bit fortunate to sneek the added time equaliser, although it was down to Nathan Jones' tactics and subs, so a very well done to him.

The players were clearly struggling second half, as they were at Preston.
So to battle on and nick a point deserves full credit.

I thought Ramsay and Jones played well at the back and Carey was our main threat and our MOM.

Knibbs was anonymous, I only noticed him when he was on the deck.
Apter gave Gilly a poor pass for their goal and then gave it away soon after before being hooked.

Coventry was quite instrumental when he came on and did well.

Tyreece reminds me of Lisbie.
He nearly scores or assists a number of times a game, but rarely actually does.
He's so frustrating, but he has to play some part for his threat.

Leaburn looked sluggish once again.

Kaminski, Docherty and Bell were fine and Gillesphey would have been if he had cleared Apter's poor pass, instead of gifting Hull a goal.

Loved that effort from a clearly struggling side

We're a bit screwed if Coventry is ever actually injured btw

Clearly struggling??

With fatigue

Another big vindication for NJ’s mantra of doing the basics. Fitness, defending, and set pieces. Despite the punishing schedule and effort that went into the past two wins the players were still able to dig deep and find a way all the way into injury time - there were a few empty tanks at full time but it was the capacity of the tanks that got us that far. Despite surrendering a lot of possession and one bad error costing a goal we were able to remain resolute and within one goal which always gave us a glimmer of hope. And then it was simple set piece that provided the break through.

I still think, over the course of the whole season, anything from 5th to about 16th is a possible finish for us, but the floor of that range is getting raised every week. We won’t truly kick on until we start to find more consistent fluency in attack but that is coming, as we saw on Tuesday. Until then, NJ is absolutely spot on that as long as we keep doing the basics and working as hard as possible we will give ourselves a chance in most games and gather more than enough points to stay well out of trouble. 

Would have taken a point before the game and 4 points from this week is a fantastic return.

If TC puts one of those chances away in the first 5 mins, then it's a different game. Great character to keep going til the very end and great to celebrate at the spotty teens who were giving it over the divide all second half. 

I'm not sure why we have three 10s in the matchday squad, but luckily one came up trumps.  Doc as holding mf desperately needed Karoy's energy to help him, not a 10.

The forward partnership didn't work today, but that was one game. TC didnt produce but had 4 chances, so some justification to try them again as starters and rotate with Tuesday's pair. 

Worried about Knibbs lack of form, because he is keeping Fullah in the U21s.

I thought with the Gillesphey error, the ball to him forced him to try what he did as he couldn't control it because of the pace and trajectory or hoof it out. 

I kinda agree.
It was a poor pass that put him into an uncomfortable position.
But I still think he had enough time to have cleared the ball, rather than turning into trouble.

Good spot with the Apter pass Covered End, it certainly put Gillesphey under pressure, it's those moments that Apter needs to handle a little bit better. 

I thought at the time it was a poor pass, But Gilesphey with all his experience still had time to deal with it sensibly.
Tough gig is the right hand side wing back in this side. You don't have the luxury of TC tracking back and sharing the load a bit so you have so much more ground to cover.

A big ask for a youngster playing up a level at a brand new club.

Another great point especially when i don’t think we played particularly well! We look shattered pleased we have a week break now.

Thought Knibbs really blew his chance and looked quite lost at times. I know rotation was required but we missed Carey being able to push further up the pitch. Also showed how crucial Coventry is!

Apter is not and never will be a wingback. He does not have the strength to defend. Question mark about his place in the squad in my mind. I would rather Fullah, who is stronger and has more potential.

I know it may not be as impressive as the Ipswich game but I said to a few mates today this is exactly the kind of result that will keep us in this division.

That’s a pity, you mean we’re not getting promoted?

in a way that's spot on actually!! not the sentiment i meant but you're 100% on the money

Shows how far we’ve come in such a short period of time that there’s a bit of criticism after gaining a point at an established championship club to keep us in the play off places. Compare that to the last 5 or 6 years of dross we’ve had to endure. 

seen some hull fans say we got lucky and were outclassed the entire game maybe I didn’t watch the same thing they did because I don’t think they were particularly that great and felt a point for both sides was very fai
