FT: HULL CITY 1 - 0 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

[the other bob wilson]

Not sure they read this board to be honest.

If they do and me saying it is a big game is putting pressure on them then I'm not sure professional football is for them.

It’s all over social media.

[Carl Dale's Mole]

Not a fan of a City team with no Colwill AND Davies in the 18.

[2b2bdoo]

No Rubin - even on the bench.

Is that Benjamin a goalkeeper? Why is there two keepers or have sky got it wrong.

[blue lewj]

It’s all over social media.

It's a big game.

I'd be more worried if the players didn't think the exact same thing. We're not in any position to be just dismissing games in the name of improvement. They've got to own the situation that they created with their performances.

[Ninja]

I can't quite work out what Lamouchi is trying to do here unless he's using either Philogene or Ojo as a 10.

Looks like wingbacks again, effectively a 5-2-3 from what I can make out, or a 3-4-3 if you consider the wingbacks as midfielders I s'pose...
Be interesting to see if it is that or something else completely.

[WJ99mobile]

No Rubin - even on the bench.

So that means either there’s a anti-Rubin agenda from the top

He’s not good enough

Or he is always injured

[Sunnysideup]

Benjamin is Captain of the u23’s
He’s a really quick and tenacious centre half
Was on the bench last week as well but didn’t get on 👍

[blue lewj]

So that means either there’s a anti-Rubin agenda from the top

He’s not good enough

Or he is always injured

Why would they not play a player if he would improve the team?

I'd bet on one of the latter two.

[Rjk]

Sawyers again. Dont get it.

yeah, strange lineup

4-2-3-1 maybe.

[WJ99mobile]

yeah, strange lineup

What’s the manager seen that we haven’t?

As I’ve seen a player that ambles round the pitch and can’t get into 3rd gear

Legs have gone and hasn’t influenced a game this season

[Rock_Flock_of_Five]

I hope Simpson isn't at LB again.

Well, I can't see him being forward of O'Dowda, so I feel sure he's going to be left-back again.

[bluemoon]

so either kaba's arrived or hes playing via teams...

[jon1959]

Well, I can't see him being forward of O'Dowda, so I feel sure he's going to be left-back again.

Unless it's 3/5 at the back?

But Simpson at LB is more likely. And worrying.

[The Lone Gunman]

yeah, strange lineup

In fairness, the new manager has to try something different as the same old certainly hasn't been working.

As regards Colwill and Davies, have either of them done anything in recent times to justify selection? If so, I haven't seen it.

[John Buchanan]

So that means either there’s a anti-Rubin agenda from the top

He’s not good enough

Or he is always injured

Going by his last outing, I would suggest option 2. I hope he rediscovers some form (and his best position) soon, he is young enough.

[Rock_Flock_of_Five]

No Rubin - even on the bench.

He didn't exactly cover himself in glory when he came on against Luton. He gave the ball away far too easily and looked as weak as a kitten, which given his 6.9ft stature was surprising.

[WJ99mobile]

so either kaba's arrived or hes playing via teams...

sent in a IOU

[A Quiet Monkfish]

So that means either there’s a anti-Rubin agenda from the top

I think the 20 minutes or so he saw of him on Tuesday helped him with his decision..

[poc]

so either kaba's arrived or hes playing via teams...

maybe it was easier to travel from denmark to hull rather than here first, just a thought ,even dellboy sailed from hull to get the diamonds in holland

Davies did very well against Leeds

My days of starting threads are gone.

People seem to send many replies without answering the question.

Pointless.

I've noticed that some posters snipe,deride and insult on a perfectly normal thread, which puts a lot of posters off from posting. This board has declined in politeness in line with the club's fortunes, which is sad.

[bluemoon]

well hes here, hes on the coach, unlesds hes driving the coach maybe...

If he had 2 players around him to pick up the pieces when he does give the ball away (which he does consistently) we might have the ability to give him the licence to have that free role he’d suit

But we’re crap and we can’t.

Id expect he’s injured though

[The Lone Gunman]

Some good news at last.
