Barkermush Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 4pts behind Reading, 6pts behind Soton, but they have played a game less.Still, they should have been out of sight at the top by now. Thanks. Yeah with the squad they have, you would think they would be running away with this League. I expected them to thump Leeds today with their away form.

Anyway, as neither of us are uber fans like the rest of the people in this thread and only listened on the radio I think statements like "we were the better side in that match for sure" are a bit ott.

kccircle Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Been to about 60% of Hulls home games despite being a season ticket holder. The travel to/from N Wales is getting a lot more expensive by the week. It was £40 for a round trip when we were in League 2 and it is now £60. I'm fortunate that one of the lads I go with is from Warrington so we car share. Evening home games are pretty tough as I have childcare issues to arrange. Only been away once this season too - worst performance for 10 years I think My pass gets shared about (at no cost naturally) so it gets used by someone. As for that list of top Championship players I am stunned that we don't have a defender on it. One of Mannone, Hobbs, Dawson, Chester and Rosenior should be on there. Football is not just about scoring - we have the best defence in this division and there is literally no need for anyone to even attempt to debate this. We all know these award things are about popularity and no-one from Hull has ever been popular as the North -South divide on that list testifies. Us Northerners are a little tougher - imagine the uproar if the list was dominated by us. Southern press rule ok! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-Man11 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 another goal for southampton and a late winner for coventry would be great Eh? :confused: Probably one of the worst game's of football I've seen all season today. Ball spent pretty much 90 minutes in the air with Watford dragging us into a horrid long ball game. Not sure how we got a point either with the amount of last ditch blocks by our defenders when Watford looked bound to score. Really could have done with a win but when you consider we lost our last 10 away games I'm not gonna complain at a point Also forgot how much of a graveyard Vicarage Road is, makes the Ricoh look loud... They had some random drummer mascot but none of their fans were joining in with him so we just ended up chanting along to his drumbeat for the entire game which was quite amusing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCIAG Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 we have the best defence in this division and there is literally no need for anyone to even attempt to debate this. You've only conceded two fewer goals than us, reverse the scoreline in one of the two matches between us and suddenly our defence is level. The gap isn't big enough to say that it is beyond debate that your defence is better, particularly as we didn't have Gorkss at the start of the season. Regardless, none of our players are on there even though we're currently the second best team in the league, and are Southern. Paranoid Northerner is paranoid.

SCIAG Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Mannone seems really dodgy to me, which I suppose makes your record even more impressive. It's 9 in 12 fwiw.

I think we'll pretend to score about 5 times, seeing as we can't hit a barn door. Created a hatful of chances towards the end but just couldn't find that final touch. Looking forward to next week though, nice to be playing teams that are around us, feels like we're playing at our level.. :o Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No issues with you finishing second though. Yes you are in great form, but Saints don't exactly have a poor recent run of form themselves. Last 10 league games for Saints, won 6, drawn 4, lost 0.

Our away form is magic atm, 4 wins and the draw against Doncaster in our last 5 away games. I totally agree about West Ham looking the most vulnerable though, they still have Reading, Boro, Birmingham, Brighton and Hull who are hunting for a play off spot.

GG17 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Just really hoping that both teams keep up the form all the way until the Saints v Reading game. Will be a cracker! Who do you have midweek?

Wiggins Top Boys Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Yep mlg fair enough I'll accept that and I've seen stills and the footage. I still think the first one is harsh as he simply slipped over and had his for poking out. Second one is completely moronic. Disgraceful stuff by Dunne. It's still incredibly frustrating that we played so well and deserved to win up until the the last 5 minutes and concede two ridiculous penalties (deserved or not the situations in which they were conceded were still ridiculous in one way or the other)... I'd also like to see that incident where Davis handles out the area and get saved by an offside... Meh that smug git adkins always gets one over on us. If we survive and this result helps West ham catastrophically miss out on promotion I'm all for it in the long run Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GG17 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Ha, don't really remember that. I remember a 1-1 the year we went down though. I'm not too worried about your form. We managed to hold of Huddersfield when they were bang in the middle of there 54 unbeaten run. Peterborough and Blackpool can be quite unpredictable, hopefully one of them will take some points of you, either way lets hope West Ham well and truly stuff it up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barkermush Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 massive game tomorrow. need to win. No worries for you, you are playing Burnley at home. We have a terrible record away at Cardiff in the Championship, of the last 7 since you won promotion in 2003, we have lost 6 drawn 1. (not including cup defeats/ League 1 defeats at Cardiff) And the draw came last season to end our losing record at Cardiff. Away wins at Cardiff, are as rare as home wins against Portsmouth for us.

Readingfanman Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 On an unrelated note from the game yesterday. Do any other clubs have the policy of offering student tickets, but not selling them on the gate? Trying to find out what the deal with that is, as not exactly sure why they do it, as I would have been fine to pay the £23 had that been the case the whole time. Was pretty ****ed off with Barnsley when they basically said "You aren't coming in unless you have £23, nearest cash machine is about a 10 minute walk that way". Thankfully only missed the first ten minutes after I stood in their box office queue to get cashback so I could get in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like we have had lots of possession, a few good chances... and Lee Grant has had little to do at the other end in that first half, according to Radio Lancashire. Said it was a pretty decent half for Eddie Howes Burnley, but can we turn this good performance into a win. I was expecting us to be behind by now tbh.
