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

[RichardM]

We had a bit of momentum and Ralls was trying to keep that going - although I’ll try and blame Bulut for anything that goes wrong, I don’t think he was responsible for what happened and Phillips was just caught in the middle of it all. However, I can remember making a “comeback” in parks football when I was about twenty one - we were absolutely woeful, but I don’t think we ever gave away a goal as daft as that

"Keep that going", by passing backwards to a player who wasn't looking? If he had been looking I bet the ball would have ended up with goal keeper.

Yes, there was plenty of space out to the right to be exploited. I’ve no problem with going sideways or backwards if it helps get you into a good attacking area quickly - we do have a problem with the quickly part mind.

Bowler had just gone off, super winger Perry was the outlet we were trying to get the ball to, but it would have gone back to the keeper at some time.
We just don't play to our strength we play to a tactic board. Hull had just conceded, look flakey so it was time to put it in the mixer in front of the Canton

If we had a few more who could cross like Ng, our goals from open play record definitely wouldn’t be the worst in the division.

Ralls' fault completely. Just puts the ball down and passes it blind to Phillips, who's not only got his back turned but is walking away from Ralls to pass on Bulut's message to Goutas. The only excuse I can give Ralls is that maybe he saw Bulut's hand signals on the touchline and thought it was a message to play it quickly but surely you've got to look at the person you're passing to in that situation.
