    He’s a very good player no doubt but on the eve of his return he’s saying he wants to play for a club that ‘ wins titles ‘.

    Thanks Brentford for standing by me.

     

    It's that sort of business though isn't it, what else could they do? Rip his contract up and let him sign for someone on a free?

    Whilst ever players are such a valuable commodity, they'll always be protected.

    I don't think you can really compare Farkeball with Wagner's style.

    I'd accept that. My memory is that we were behind in both games and therefore obviously not in control. What stood out from those games was the determination, desire and togetherness to get over the line. I had that feeling watching last night, more than any game since the Farke era.  For me last night is a season changer.

    Some things never change.

    Pure, blind optimism.

    Towards the back end of that first promotion season, there were performances that we were under the cosh and not in control, but somehow managed to draw or win against the odds. Sheffield Wednesday at home - even Millwall and Forest at home we were not in control, but managed to find a way. 

    What nonsense.

    There's a difference between taking time to break a team down and being under the cosh.

    Wednesday scored early and from memory Foristeri scored a worldie, we were on top all game, it just took a while to break them down.

    Millwall we had 61% possession and 21 shots, they scored with 3 of their 4 shots on target.

    Forest 61% possession and 27 shots

    This is a beautiful illustration of someone completely losing the plot as far as beliefs about style is concerned.

    Style is a product of tactics and strategies that work to the skills and attributes of your players. Necessarily, that means if your players change then your style will probably have to change for them to get wins, which are the primary objective of your team in a game of football.

    I suspect what you mean is we need a style that looks exactly like what we had when we had Pukki as lone striker, Buendia in midfield, and Daniel Farke at the sidelines, excluding their premier League season. As we have completely different people with different strengths and weaknesses, this isn't realistic.

    I think we just want some sort of attacking strategy, some philosophy, an identity and something to believe in, 

    It's not like we don't have the players to do it, Stacy/Dimi are great at getting forward, when playing higher Nunez/Sara are great passers of the ball, Rowe's a class act, Sainz as shown glimpses of what he can do and Sarge is capable.

    Last night we had no appetite to attack, no strategy to attack, we didn't cross the halfway line in the 2nd the and the game turned into a game of attack v defence.

    Getting Hernandez on was key, he only knows one direction and that's forward, with him we travelled up the pitch, even if only for a short time he eleivated immediate danger.

    K'in hell lads, your expectations and standards have slipped.

    We were awful, couldn't get the ball, couldn't keep the ball, couldn't string 5 passes together. Couldn't transition from defence to attack. In the 2nd half we barley passed the half way line. It was essentially a game of attack v defence.

    Had this of been Pep's City, and we'd scrapped a win I'd be all for it, but this is Hull City.

    33% Possession. Half as many passes. 10 less shots. Goalkeeper MOM.

    Shout out to Kenny and Angus, who were awesome.

    But it certainly wasn't a great win to watch and we definitely didn't deserve to win.

    Horrible stuff,

    Watching Nunez drop in between the centre halves and Sara been stationed 10-15 yards Infront of him.

    Our two players most likely to hit a positive, proactive pass stood on the edge of our own box.

    Argos is someone you need in the dressing room. I would keep him around as an impact sub.

    Barnes is past it unfortunately but again for his experience its a player you keep around for an impact.

     

    Rest of them I totally agree with Gibson, Long and Springett fighting it out to be at the front of the bus que. 

    "I would keep him around as an impact sub."

     

    But he doesn't make an impact...

    There isn't an ongoing sexual case against him.

    There was an anonymous allegation against him which he and his representatives have denied to be true outright.

    It's astonishing how quickly a narrative will form based on next to no information when the slightest bit of investigation will tell you if it's off base or not.

    I thought libel was meant to be a serious thing in the UK?

    Talk libel with the person who made the claim,

    That's not me.
