    The new manager "bounce" usually lasts 3 or 4 games - and it appears we are back where we have been all season. Unable to score in the first 45 and then run around with a bit more purpose in the second half. Opposing teams have in the main sussed us out totally, Huddersfield should have been out of sight when we finally started playing. Hull are a very ordinary side and will have gone back to Humberside feeing very pleased to have got three points from a game most CCFC fans were expecting to win.

    The crowd with all the offers on for cheap tickets was disappointing but reflects the level of interest in the club..

    Thank heavens two of our relegation rivals have had point deductions - otherwise the table would be looking far worse.

    You fail to acknowledge that the style of possession based and passing football that we are now trying to implement is totally different to that which came before under MM, Neil Harris and Warnock. Young players need encouragement and the whole team needs the fans support, so what Morrison said after the game was correct. Booing the team and individual players off does no good at all. We are definitely a work in progress and to state that ‘we are back where we have been all season’ is a total misrepresentation of the situation. On the second half performance we deserved to win and with a stronger ref and linesman who could see what he was doing, probably would have done. There were at least two nailed on penalties and how there was only 4 minutes added time at the end is beyond me, bearing in mind there were 8 subs and at least two stoppages of around two minutes each. One of their players refused to go off the pitch when he went down half a yard from the goal line, with no one anyone near him, and the ref let him get away with it and be treated on the pitch. Only for him to get up and jog around the touchline, followed by a thirty yard run at full pelt when he came back on.

    I agree, he’s being silly and forgetting the effort that Hull had when they hit the post and really should have scored. We could have nicked a point at the end but no way did that performance deserve 3 points
