Just watched the "official reaction video". He says, we are very close to being a "Top" six team. We had more possesion than Hull. Blames the referee for not giving a penalty for an ankle tap.
I agree we didn't do much in the final 3rd, but perhaps thats because we didn't get in an experienced striker, or perhaps the midfield set up was wrong. As for the posession what ever he's on, I want some.
And a question, did anyone else find long periods a bit boring?

We did have more possession, unfortunately not much in their half.

You misquote him, the ankle trip was on Baldwin way before the box and left him struggling to catch up and cut out the cross that lead to a goal. Stats prove we had more possession fact! Quality of that is open for debate, in my opinion in the first half Rovers were better than Hull but Hull as expected came on a lot stronger in the second half especially the substitutions they made. They scored from sloppy defending for the third goal and scored the second following what could haver been a foul. NOT A MILLION MILES AWAY FROM HULL as stated. Was that a penalty when Daly was rugby tackled in the box, bad miss by Westbrook, perhaps with hindsight Hanlan should have been greedy and shot. UTG |

It's gonna be inconsistent with young players. I thought Hull were a good side and the final goal gave a distorted view of the game.

I'm begining to wishfor the attacking days of DC's tenure. I cannot say that I think this football we are playing is exciting. |

He is giving his view of the game. To be honest I thought Hull shaded possession, but I thought we looked good in possession most of the time. We would have been eighth if we had held out and we are improving so top-six is realistic. Can’t disagree with it being dull at times, but I would have been happy to endure that if we had got something against a side like Hull. So I’m disappointed, but not disillusioned.

Possession statistics require context, if you're 2-0 and keep possession between your goalkeeper and defenders it's utterly pointless.

I’ve said it before but it reminds me of Trollope’s last season with us. Possession football in our own half but it doesn’t seem to go anywhere.
McCormick got a bit of stick last night on the match day thread but it’s worth noting that the highly rated Otzumer was equally as ineffective when he came on. My thought is that we didn’t do enough to get our CAM involved in the game in dangerous areas. Daly and Hanlan both worked hard but struggled to impact the game with a lack of service. Westbrooke looked decent but he was receiving the ball in our half in space and playing non-threatening balls. Grant was poor.
Hull always looked like the better side and the game was only going one way in that second half. If hull are a top 6 side then we look quite a way off that currently.

There goal to take the lead looked a foul and it looked a penalty when we were 2 1 down. So if it wasn't for the ref, we probably would have taken a point. It's not like Annsi was making save after save, they didn't look that threating for a lot of the game either. Westbrooke probably had the clearest chance in the game, apart from the goals. So we were not a million miles away. |

I’m not a fan of clinging to possession stats in the after match interview, it’s like winning a tallest dwarf competition. Will Hull be having sleepless nights and requesting to give the points back because they had less possession? Of course not- they will point to the score because ultimately that’s the only stat that matters. We lost to quite obviously the better team, even if they only Had to really play for 30 minutes in the second half. They are are just a better team but they were in the championship last season so it’s hardly a surprise or a concern because I guess we aren’t really measuring ourselves against the likes of Hull at the moment. Best to just do as DC would do and dust ourselves down and move on. |

They were headed away, so then the player under pressure did the right thing and knocked it back to the goal keeper. That happens in every game. Would be more worried if they kicked it out without looking. Nothing wrong with that. |

DC football was OK in the Conference and League 2. Would you prefer us to go down to League 2 Lpgas? We have far better quality now than under DC but like anything it takes time. I do agree that we should be looking for an out of contract striker as we are short in that department but I would say that none of the players last night were poor- more a case of inconsistent which is what you would expect from a new team. Grant showed a lot of good things but also some poor things and this could be said of most players. Referee although ok missed a lot of fouls including one on one of the goals which left us wide open. The game result probably centred on the Westbrooke miss which should have put the result beyond a Hull side with the extra confidence it would have brought. I would say our main problem is that we don't look likely to score a lot of goals so it is going to be a case of results always being in doubt.

They left us behind when they went through the gears, you can’t argue that we made it hard for them to score their goals, Tutonda was tracking the wrong guy leaving a giant space for them to leisurely put in a cross for the opener. It was downhill from there unfortunately. Actually I’m forgetting the Westbrooke chance in the first half, that is what people should be focusing on. The near post was there to be aimed at and he scuffed a shot straight at the keeper. |

They scored on the break and it looked a foul. They then sat back and we found it hard to break them down. They have had 7 clean sheets already. That shows that are hard to break down when they are in front. |

Can we improve? Yes
Are we improving? Yes
I think we are getting better slowly, but we are still inexperienced and naïve occasionally.
Daly looks a real fox in the box. always on and alert and will score goals if we can get in the right areas
yes we can be better, but it is not doom and gloom

1-3 flattered Hull but I think they deserved to win. We were sloppy in defence and still need to vastly improve in the final third...but.....SHOCK!! HORROR!!! We lost a game!! Once again, some people on here think we should win every game (meaning will be Champions of Europe in four years time!! Wahooo, can't wait!!). Most of the sensible fans know we won't win the league this year but as long as we keep improving and playing better football than 'hoof ball' then the future looks good.
