Lord Snooty Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Hull City 1 - 0 Wednesday Penalty - Lichaj has admitted it. He didn’t admit it at the time, he was saying it was three yards out! But it's clear cut, 100 per cent, I knew that at the time. Ref’s in a good position, linesman’s in a good position, the fourth official’s in a good position, somehow they don’t get it. We have to live with that. Of course it’s frustrating. It’s clear cut, not even close. Of course you expect at this level to be given those decisions, but it’s done now and we can’t do anything about it. Scrappy but chances - We created the better of the chances I would say, they never really made too much of a move on our goal apart from when they scored and that’s what counts. They took the chance they created and we didn’t take ours, but this happens and we have to see it as a bump in the road. When you’re playing a lot of games in those periods you often get a game when it’s very even, scrappy without too many clear cut chances in the game. If you think about it, we probably had a couple of the better ones. Mistakes- will happen We made one mistake and they scored from it but this is the Championship, it was a scrappy game and these things happen. You see it so often in this division with back to back games when a team plays so well on the Saturday and then the game on the Tuesday is really scrappy. Unfortunately for us the one mistake we did make, we didn’t deal with the ball out wide well enough. They only had the one striker in the box, we didn’t mark him and we were punished heavily for it. Recovery - But the best teams move on and fight back in the next game and we have the chance to do that against Wigan on Saturday. We've taken small steps, but like I said there's lots of work to be done. We can do so much in terms of mentality but there is still a lot of work to be done by myself and the players. It's not a quick thing, not an overnight thing. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, dare I say it, generally no ridiculous over reaction on OT yet either imo. Keep it calm, make up for it v Wigan at the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TodwickOwl Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Why are Hull such a bogey team? Same with Preston away - we can’t do the job there at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystic Neg Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Pretty much what I thought about the game too. Would have won reasonably comfortably on another night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmowl Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 He’s right not to fret. Win v Wigan and it’s 10 points from his first 5 games, including 3 aways. Superb form. Of course, we need to win it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superb form. Of course, we need to win it! Agreed. There's no need to panic. We know what we are as a squad. We're doing all right all things considered. Desperately hope that Fletcher is fit though. Vital to our best work attacking wise. (Not just the goals but the link play) Luongo will get a start I'd have thought with Hutchinson suspended.

At home we don't seem to be able to get a win against them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Clegg Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I may get a bump on the head and find myself back in the 1970's with a bit of luck - ale at 18p a pint, men were men (except Lola), and everything was 'Alright Now'* including the football..... cheap, often exciting and full of honest endeavour * Courtesy of Paul Rodgers and Andy Frazer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Majority of our players massively underperformed last night after such a good performance against Boro. Hopefully Monk will have given the players a kick up the arse behind closed doors and we get the 3 points against Wigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owls-Fan Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Monk is spot on with his comments. I don’t blame him at all for last night, the team shape was organised and the players worked hard enough, just the lack of quality was missing from a few (cough Winnall & Reach cough). Had they put their shooting boots/heads on we’d have scored 2-3 times which is usually enough to win a game when you are organised. Lets hope they find more consistency on Saturday and we can enjoy being in the playoffs for a couple of weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
