Hull City 2 Blackpool 3: match report

“Beaten by the better side, as with the previous two games. Hull are a poor team, no strength in depth, an over rated manager who has done very little. Even got his son drawing a wage out of the club? What a farce.”

“I've been saying it for years the club needs a new left sided defensive player, Dudgeon is too weak and gets bullied off the ball way too easily and Dawson is past it as last season showed.”

“It has got nothing to with anything other than simple mistakes. Sloppy play that any pro should not make.

City are a joy to watch going forward and a great big laugh trying to defend. Time to give Cooper - Dawson and McKenna a go on saturday as some need a rest. Faye - Oli spring to mind. 3 - 5 - 2 is not the problem simply the issue of doing the basics. Give them all next week off and the match video's of the last 3 games to watch. So much is good about Hull City this season. Very little is wrong so get that bit sorted out Bruce.”

“I have to say short of a great tackle in the second half to set up the second goal Dudgeon was awful. Lacking pace, strength and agression in defence for most of the night.

I'm not a Dawson fan particularly but I would bring him back s a replacement.”

“Think overall we played well last night,we had 63% possession and had more shots and more corners. We a scoring goals which is the main thing after last season, and I think the 3-5-2 formation is playing to our strengths when we have our central defenders fit. Olofinjana is a key player in this formation I think. Bruce is doing a good job, the team are passing and moving for one another, and it is enjoable to watch. I would only have said that when we went a goal up I might have changed it a little to a 4-5-1 and put Rosenior at right back and brought McKenna on as a second defenive midfielder to close the game out. That way we would have all been happy with the performance as well as the result against a team that scores a lot of goals, especially late on.”

“thought we played well.just daft mistakes cost us.still think we need shaun derry type of midfielder in there with oli.has koren been playing as for captain goes missing far too much.still better watching last night than the boring defensive stuff of last year and still getting beat.long way to go yet.come end of season we will be up there.steve bruce black and amber army. utt”

“Very disappointing result and attendance, but not only is this season young, we have a very good side.

The performances and results against Bolton, Millwall and Leeds were not from a poor side, and they can and will return.

Let's be positive, I am very confident that we are not going to be relegated with this side so maye we will have to be patient this season and wait for the mistakes to be eradicated and we need to give Bruce time.

Maybe promotion will not come until another season but I would rather Bruce build a squad capable of not just going up but staying up.”

“Steve bruce is as said pre season is a tried and tested failure,after a very short honeymoon period where we flattered to decieve,bruce is back to his useless best.What is it about ex man u players,none can seem to manage a team,robson,hughes,keane,ince, the list goes on.Bruce is hopeless at, sunderland he bought good players but couldn't manage them yet martin o'neill with the same players is unbeaten this season,says it all.!!!”

“OK Steve that's enough, 9 goals shipped in 3 games: only a fool changes nothing and expects a different result.

What will you do to plug that leaky defence?”

“ha ha....editor did not like that California term......"***mer" with the English word for "rear end" placed in front.....ok then...it was a "major downer", if you must.”
