Hurrell both Briscoe's Dwyer and Martin were very poor.Gale is trying but is kicking game is poor. Sutcliffe took his try well but should be at centre. Oledzki and Prior once again put a shift in. Gannon is going to be one hell of a player. On this form Martin and Hurrell shouldn't be offered new deals. Use their contract monies to try and sign Trueman and Connor that's if Connor hasn't already signed a new deal.

From a Hull point of view, our ball retention and discipline in the second half was as bad as it gets really. We presented you with enough opportunities to win that game 10 times over, yet I never really felt like we would lose because your attack was so toothless. It has to be said our goalline defence has improved massively this year and we showed that again tonight. But even with all that territory I can only remember a couple of times that we were made to come up with a proper last ditch tackle. Most of the time we looked totally unflustered. You actually did alot of things pretty well, but ball in hand in good field position you were desperately bad.

I'm not sure if it's actually been announced yet but it sounds very much like Connor has signed an extension for Hull. He seems to be really enjoying playing for Hodgson.

Whilst all that's true it didn't help that every time we played the ball within your ten (and it was a lot in the second half) all your players were offside and the ref didn't blow for it once. As poor as we were I have a real issue with the ref not binning a single Hull player despite relentless cynical fouling in the second half. I'm not sure anyone on the pitch in any coloured comes out with much credit tonight.

Tbh that comes across as sour grapes. Yeah we probably got away with a few, but then you had a few dubious calls go your way too. ATEOTD a half decent team would have put us away given that many opportunities.

Agree but at the minute there’s not much to be added in that regard, what should be manageable is the low level of fundamental skill and discipline across the board.

I think that is a little unfair on Myler by Seth , he certainly creates more than Gale

Two reasons you won were we are crap ball in hand and the ref allowed you to leave hands on the ball in the ruck the first twenty five mins

It is sour grapes, absolutely. It's also true. That level of persistent foul play needs to be properly punished, it wasn't.

The fact that we'd have probably still struggled to score if you were down to 12 is neither here nor there.

He does a job and is reliable enough for sure and from fb can find a pass at times though as a collective the spine has little dynamism and where it does ie Dwyer it’s undone by being erratic.

There is truth in that. I actually thought we were very poor tonight. Only area of our game I was happy with was goal line defence. However, playing the referee is a part of the game in itself. You try to get away with as much as you can. If you put hands on the ball and get away with it then you keep doing that.
