Hack-Abusi Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Westwood - 20 Fans - 100 Some real under par performances which is a shame given the same players have been key all season. It's like the occasion got to them ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRADDO Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I was a bit confused as to how we didn't really change the way we played despite the introduction of Nuhiu. Rather than try to hit him and worry their defence we continued to look for the same passes that hadn't been there all game. All a bit disappointing that we didn't appear to have plan B and I expected a bit more from Carlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobHowe Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Kinda echoing what's already been posted, but I thought Westwood was obviously outstanding. Again. However I didn't think we were as bad as some posters are saying. First 15 mins I thought we looked in control and had the potential to create chances. But as Hull upped their game we didn't seem to have an answer. Perhaps it was a case of one game too many? Wallace didn't really get into the game and Hull were comfortable with our midfield playing the ball about in front of them. Plus I didn't think we linked the play with Fessi and Hooper very well either. All in all it wasn't our day, but that said we kept what is essentially a Premier League team to 0-0 until they scored an outstanding goal to win the game. But my abiding memory will be our fans. I keep watching the videos I took yesterday over and over again, getting goosebumps every time. Simply amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owl In Black Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Only 1 man 4 me. Westwood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polar Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 (edited) Kieran Westwood kept us in it, so has to get MotM. I thought Kieran Lee was as good as ever, so can't understand how some are rating him only a 5! He was the one player trying to make things happen and covered so much ground.

sheriwozgod Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Westwood - 9 Magnificent Hunt - 6 Did OK Loovens - 5 Looked uncharacteristicly jittery Lees - 5 Ditto Pudil - 5 Never got going Lee - 5 Great season but didn't turn up when it mattered most Bannan - 4 Biggest disappointment of all.....seems his otherwise brilliant season peaked around March and has slowly tailed off since Hutchinson - 6 Looked rusty first half , better second Wallace - 4 Not one decent delivery all game Hooper - 4 Never got involved........never looked like he wanted to either Forestieri - 5 So often our spark but went missing yesterday So disappointing to give these ratings after a great season , but the truth hurts and we were really poor yesterday. Never got going ,seemed strangely leggy and nervous , poor and baffling substitutions , Hull didn't play all that well but were still much better. Great chance missed , ah well sleeves up , onwards and upwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Snooty Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I gave KW our man o the match. Felt so sorry for the rest of the lads who just couldn't muster their 'A Game' as hard as they tried. The fans and the Players gave each other everything but Hull were just that little better on the day. No one let anyone down we achieved more than in our wildest dreams and the team will be bigger, stronger and better next season. Sorry. Negged by mistake! Meant to green arrow! Fully agree with this post. There's been some understandable emotional reaction last 24 hours. But it has been a terrific season overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scram Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 (edited) Obviously Westwood - not even close. Funny how people see games differently - thought Lees was all over the place and the weakest CB on the pitch! Hunt did ok as did Loovens Not a game of top performances other then Westwood Edited May 29, 2016 by scram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earlsfieldowl Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Read the papers today in it and what really comes home is the difference in formation and the impact it had. That 5 in midfield for Hull was key - we just looked so light in comparison which is where the game was lost IMO. We never got any control or penetration there, so we couldn't release the front men or get behind them. Yes Hooper and Wallace weren't great but they were feeding off scraps - though Wallaces's delivery was very poor which didn't help. Livermore and Huddlestone had a free reign. I can understand CC going for his first team choice but I was suprised he didn't change things around at HT to deal with this when it was clear we were starting to struggle. Without the goal it could easily have gone to pens and maybe CC was holding out for that ..we could have played all day and not scored - a game to far in the end.

Hawkeye Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 No one poor, only westwood exceptional. Pudil and hunt had one of the better games iv seen, considering the players they were up against. Westwood proved yet again he's the best keeper in the league. Hooper can't play up top on his own. Lee worked himself into the floor. Hutch was excellent. Forestieri and Wallace looked dangerous on the rare occasions they were able to run at hull. Thought we matched them player for player, but diame and huddlestone eventually outdid us for experience. I'd take Elmohammedy, huddlestone and Dawson if hull decided they weren't premiership quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh_weds_we_love_you Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Westwood MOTM. Won't score the players as I don't think they did themselves justice on the day - and they probably know it too. They've been brilliant this season, the Final has been and gone, now we need to pick ourselves up and get plenty of hard work done in the summer to be up there again next season.

Guest BRADFIELDOWLS Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Westwwod 8 Hunt 6 Pudil 5 Loovens 4 Lees 5 Lee 5 Bannan 4 Hutchinson 6 Wallace 5 Hooper 5 FF 6 But you have to bear in mind Hull's budget and players and their performance and we were nowhere near. Did well to keep to just 1 goal gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torres Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Westwood was outstanding I thought despite his mistake for the goal Lees did well as did Hunt and Loovens Lee and Hutchinson tried to make an impact but credit to their midfield for their performance I thought Hooper looked lost and Wallace had the worst game of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hack-Abusi Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 (edited) I thought Loovens was our best defender. Rock solid. Lees was a little off the pace and it was his clearance that led to the goal which was very unfortunate Edited May 30, 2016 by Hack-Abusi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
