HULL CITY: Woeful Tigers stunned by lowly Peterborough United

“It was bad news all around as Radio Humberside online was not audible. Then, espnsoccernet did not update the scores regularly. Must have been bad luck in the air. Then, I went out for a jog and injured my achilles. No wonder I needed a few pints on Saturday night. A weekend to forget.”

“Are we overlooking the goalkeeper? looking back at the highlights I think Amos could of tried harder to prevent Sinclair doing him over! Maybe we should give Jakupovic a start, who might be that little bit braver and be at the feet of the opposition!”

“Stop the stupid reporting Buckingham you clueless muppet. Bet you loved this scoreline. Time for Hull City to Ban the Fail until Baxter gets a proper reporter on the job and not a junior troll.
Never read so much tosh about a game. Buckingham is like Citys defending on saturday. Key stone cop style. ggrrrrrrr”

“the last couple of seasons our D has been our strength, Rosenior, Chester, Hobbs, Dawson, a four man back 4, we need to get back to that the luxury of a 5 man midfield which I think is to accomodate players isn't happening, try
Amos
Rosenior, Chester, Faye, Dudgeon
Elmohamady, Koren, Evans, Quinn
Aluko, Simpson

maybe keep Proschwitz to throw on with 25 minutes near the end to be the target man if needed, what we do need is someone to man mark Ince and nail him when ever he gets the ball, stop him you stop Blackpool !”

“Surely Chester won't extend his contract, can't be good playing in such a leaky defence if he has any ambition?”

“Looking at the top of the tabe it feels like the season has just re=started.No need for panic.
That said I think Wolves,Blacburn and Cardiff must feel they are in good positions should the pack start to fall away.
We have the players to compete if we can be flexible and not expose some of our defenders to superior pace with no cover”

“Lets get real. Last season and now this we are seeing some of the best attacking football ever seen by a Hull City side. Last year we lacked goals. That has effectively been solved butt we are now leaking them because sides of all abilities can see that the system and the way we play it has vulnerability to the counterattack. But that means nothing if we score more at the other end because the dynamic changes.

I was entertained yesterday if also shocked at the errors and wekness at the back in this system. As I said in the previous post, Proschwicz looks lightweight and looks set to struggle against Champioship defenders unless he sharpens his finishing or starts to be more physical.
He looks like a fish out of water at the moment - but we will just have to pa patient. J Simpson has shown us all what ability and determination can achieve.

I am confident Steve Bruce will sort this out and we just need to be patient and supportive. As for Matty I am hoping to be proven wrong. Strummer does make a good point and we'll just have to see if he can convert the many chances now being fed into the mixer. Personally, I'd have Fraizer in given the chance and would certainly be on the trail of yesterdays hat-trick man.

And lets not lose sight of our injured players and the possibility of restoring successful old partnerships. That said Alex the Bruce has done very well indeed.”

“Merlin.Matty Fryatt was our 'lone' striker last season,looked like a fish out of water at times due to his isolation, yet still managed to score 15 goals.I fail to see how he wouldn't blend into that system with relative ease,given the support available...

As for Yesterday,the defence and defensive errors were apalling.There is absolutely no need for them to be so far up the pitch,thus leaving them stranded on the half way line when an opposing striker gets a sniff of a ball over the top or a defender makes a catastrophic error ala yesterday,we're totally screwed.

Steve Bruce needs to revert to 4-4-2 against Blackpool or we could well face a similar result.”

“Sorry to say this but NO promotion team would have lost yesterdays game like that,we are a very brittle side and could easily go on a losing run now.Hull city are not a team who cant afford to spend 2.5 million on a Striker who a. cant score and b cant even get in the team.Allam will not trust Bruce to spend any more cash.”

“Nil Desperandum.
We were by far the most talented side and really have some star players in our squad.
Yes there were individual mistakes but the system leaves us open to complete meltdown when that happens - so you can't just blame the player/s.
The attack-minded strategy relies on us scoring more than the opposition and if Proscwicz has nailed two easy headers then it would have been a different game. He needs to have a more physical presence and attack balls. At the minute he is like a wet lettuce floundering about all over the park. The 2.5M investmentreally should have paid off Saturday. OK he needs games but he also needs a kick up the backside in terms of stamping his authority on defenders.
Aluko is the stand-out talent and you have to say he's got Premiership written all over him.
But it seems to me that the hat trick hero for Peterboro may well be a signing we can make...
Either that or get Fraizer Campbell in - as I just don't see Matty Fryatt fitting into this set-up.
We need to tighten up at the back and attack sides with direct runs and catch THEM on the break. Great gaps opened up in midfield yesterday and that needs sorting pronto.
Poor teams have a strategy ie park the bus and hope they catch us on the break
Blackpool are unlikely to do this and that game will probably spin on who takes their chances.”
