Stylish Hull City 'will give someone a hiding', says Steve Bruce

“Steve Bruce says "we,ll give someone a hiding".Why didnt we do that on saturday against a defence that leaks like a sieve.We scored first for a change with a goal that would have graced any top league in the world and yet,still finished up needing a very fortunate own goal to take all three points.After twenty minutes,possession was 70%-30%,thats how much we totally dominated the early exchanges and a top class side would have had the job done by half time,but we took our foot off the gas as we did against Millwall.Whilst with the 3-5-2 system,we play some lovely football,we lack a clinical finisher and as much as Simpson has improved,he,ll always need four or five chances to convert one.Elmo ,when on song ,puts over crosses that lethal finishers dream about,the one on saturday being out of the top drawer,but only Rossi,a full back, got on the end of it,which emphasizes my point.My other concern is Amos.While i admit he,s a promising youngster learning his trade,he still has a lot to learn and can a team who are aiming for promotion really afford to have a rookie keeper behind an already changed defence? Imo,this team is two or three tweaks off being a fantastic side playing great football and capable of storming this division.The possession stuff played late on saturday between Aluko and Elmo was a joy to watch and the goal was top drawer,but lets not get too carried away and keep things in perspective.A few tweaks Mr.Bruce and we will give far better sides than Bristol City "a hiding".”

“Money is tight, but with quality football like some of that on display on Saturday the crowds will come back, although probably to the "cheaper" seats. I am really pleased to see that Steve Bruce not only wants to win, but he wants quality football as well. That will help attract players to the club, it will bring fans to the games, and give the team more exposure. Long may it last!”

“Perhaps give the local Scouts a game, they might score a few then?”

“One day someone is goiong to get a real hiding. It would be nice to do that against Wolves on tuesday week.”

“Fans are picking and choosing the homes games. I expect both the festive home games with Leicester and Leeds to be SELL OUTS. Maybe City could sell out a game with Barnet on boxing day. But i agree with Bruce. O”

“Its important that both clubs Hull city and Hull Fc try and fill the empty seats at the stadium during these difficult financial times.
They should get togther and trial say 2000 family passes 1 adult 1 child in 1 section of the ground at a special price which entitles entry to both Hull city and Hull FC home League games”

“Ambertigerfan.You're right about peoples finances at the moment but I'll lay a bet with you that the higher we go in the League,the higher the crowds will get.

As for Steve Bruce's comments,I couldn't agree more.One of these games,in the not too far off future,we're going to convert a decent proportion of our chances and hammer someone!!!”

“We'll all back winning in style, but we have to do it consistently. That makes a good showing against Barnsley really important. That's the sort of side we shoulld be winning comfortably against. We said that before the Peterborough game, didn't we? That being said, a highly encouraging performance at Ashton Gate. UTT!”

“Steve: I hope you're right about the fans returning, but if you haven't got the money you can't go to the match.”
