Unfortunate if true, maybe Karma as possibly shouldn't have been on the pitch after the Turner incident?

The bizarre thing i've found this year is we almost always used to get out enthused by Rovers in derby games but not this year, we should have won all three. Is the lack of enthusiasm a Morgan thing or a Newton/Cockayne thing?

Also why did Cockayne leave? I don't like him but he is three times the player Latus is. I thought Dobson was dangerous but not enough movement around him and Taylor really ran it in hard. Thought Webster was awful.

The better side on the night won. Plenty of work for Sandercock to get his teeth into. Lets see Sherriff, Salter, Green and Peterson given some decent game time now.

Mika was our only player to cause you trouble, Paea ran strongly and took some stopping, Dobson had a good 15 minute spell that's all.

All today has really showed me is the lack of depth we have, I can't imagine Rovers having 12 players out injured and been able to put a competitive side out tbh.

I'll watch it back mate but I didn't think Mika did anything of note barring smack Turner.

Oh and let's be honest, a derby game to finish 7th or 8th or whatever is embarrassing in itself, for both teams. Severly underachieved all season.

Quite agree. Hull are addressing it by binning off the deadwood and making signings like gaz ellis and rangi chase. rovers have signed shaun gleeson

I don't think that has been the case this year though, we have been the better side for two and three quarters of the games this season.....just that twenty minute spell at magic when we blew it.

I don't think that's been a case of being "up for it" because it was a derby. I just think our coach has come up with a game plan to win all 3 derbies comfortably - just the fact that ganson gifted rovers the game at manchester spoilt it

Paea, Clinton, O'Hara, Mika and Green were all poor.

Taylor gave it his best, Galea and Hodgson tried.

I thought paea had a good game green is just average now and really doesn't look interested at all Taylor gave his all, galea was shut down and I thought Josh tried hard, we missed hall last night, houghton got on top and ripped us to bits we were no better than a championship side last night simple as.
