What we need to do is bypass the crap midfield and play it long. Bulut needs a plan b,c and d. Instead of the same rubbish tactics he,s trying to play. Oof it up the park and get the team to the halfway line.

Exactly, two out of three of Hull's goals were from playing it long. As much as I appreciate what Bullut has done for the club so far this season, we have got to stop this passing around at the back, making it as far as midfield, or halfway into the opposition half and then losing it, time after time after time.

I think it can, a Rambo in the team makes it a better team ( even if it is just for 70 mins a game )

We are missing someone who normally doesn't play then.

You look at that starting 11 today and to be fair it’s not a very good team is it. We knew the squad was thin but when we have injuries we need players to step up, they haven’t and even the better likes like Siopis, Collins etc are playing below par.

AT least three good streams posted...what's the problem? Although maybe you should not look...it will only depress you.....

Ramsey won't be making much impact on this team this season

In fact that might well be that

Sadly, I think you might be right.

Weren't we told not so long ago that Ramsey was likely to return before O'Dowda?
Now we're hearing Ramsey isn't likely to return until some time after the middle of next month.

Much as I admire him....It's as I feared before the season.....and was shot down a bit for suggesting that I hoped he was on an appearance/availability contract.

Re: HULL CITY v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

So we should accept a poor performance from some players? Our midfield are terrified of passing the ball forward, how is the number 10 meant to perform with that?

Maybe he's the reason they're afraid to pass forward. He's capable of brilliance, but more often than not he'll lose the ball. The more I see of him, the more one-dimensional of a player I think he is. He's clearly not interested in defending. He just wants to get the ball and make something happen.

...... He's clearly not interested in defending. He just wants to get the ball and make something happen.

yes...but he rarely does....as I said he's what 21/22 now? There are players younger than him tearing up the PL...and even in the Championship are much more productive. Sadly I don't think he's going to make even at this level....he is too laid back.

Yeah, maybe this is why we don't like passing to any of our other players too, so we just pass to the opposition to save time.

That's literally the only crumb of comfort we have right now. Defensively we're shot. We've barely created a really good chance in open play in a couple of months. Confidence is low. But no problems, we're 5 points from the playoffs and all will be great again soon.....

I dread to think what your life would be like if we were back in division 4

Re: HULL CITY v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

Collins, Siopsis, Ugbo, Meite and Grant were really poor but Colwell gets the most comments

Colwell is like a classy outside half, behind a dominant pack he'll tear you apart but on the back foot he looks a liability.

Everyone has the template on how to beat Cardiff, the manager needs to show he is as good as the talk and change that....

Agreed but did you enjoy the football that was served up?

Nobody enjoys losing

We have done too much of that recently

Re: FT: HULL CITY 3 - 0 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

Our good start now seems like a miracle. We were a basic league 1 squad last season and should have gone down, but although we're now playing dreadfully, at least with new faces in January we will stay up. Not having seen Rotherham, can anyone tell me of a Championship club that has a worse squad ?

And some are very concerned by this. There doesn't appear to be an end in sight to these woeful performances. Fans can forgive a few bad results as long as the team gives everything and there are decent performances. That's not even happening. Maybe this squad hit its peak in September and that's as good as it'll be this season. I don't believe it's just a case of new faces in January, either. Something doesn't seem right.

They've run out of steam. Bulut has worked the bollocks off this lot and they've hit a wall. Everything is sloppy, there's no composure, players reactions are half a second slower than they were a month ago. Bulut has to arrest this decline, although God knows how he is going to do it. Not one player is showing up at the moment, which tells me that it's a group problem.
