Hull’s third goal - bad luck or a shambles?

[RichardM]

Surely even Warnock wouldn't have had us launching a Hail Mary from there with half an hour left? Maybe he would.

I'll put this Academy clip up for anyone who's interested. As a bit of context, we've just thrown away a two goal lead against top of the table Bristol City and the game is now in injury time. We win a free kick about 10 yards nearer to goal than yesterday's. Twose has got players ahead of him here or he can wait for the centre-halves to come up so he can 'get it in there'. He does neither. He rolls it backwards, and towards the touchline, to a centre-half. Fifteen seconds later the ball is in the net (at the right end though).

I'm always wary of comparing Academy games to the Championship but I think it's ok here. Probably things Bristol could've done better just as I'm sure there are things we could've done better for Hull's second yesterday. Obviously, the issue is why we can't produce build-ups like this at first team level.

The goal comes at around 2.43.

Yes, but if Phillips had picked up the pass from Ralls he would have played it back to the keeper who would have kicked it up the field where it would have been picked up by Hull and led to an attack or it would have gone out for a Hull throw in.

I get the point, as I do about a lot of the criticism, but I reckon we might want to be a bit careful what we wish for if Bulut goes. Just my opinion, of course, but if we replace him with a manager who thinks it's a good idea to launch free-kicks into the box from our own half with 30 minutes left then we may as well turn the lights off, lock up and call it a day.

I just found that Academy clip interesting. Twose has been with us for 10 years. I think it's an interesting insight into how our kids are coached if they get a free kick there at 2-2 in injury time and roll it backwards to a centre half in the left back position. I accept it's naive and unrealistic for now but I'd like to see the first team produce what happened in the next 15 seconds at some point. Hope springs eternal.

Listen to Loramski.

A rare source of objective common sense.
