Taaaaaaaagers (A) Match Thread

[HoylandOwl]

The comments from the opposition have started in relation to this weekend. They're looking to bounce back after a poor Cup performance...

Jason Lokilo, a new signing in their squad reacted after they lost to Donny in the Carabao Cup..

Quote

"We can only agree with what the gaffer said, it's unacceptable to lose like this. At home, Hull City is a massive club and losing to a League Two side is unacceptable. 

"As football players, we're all lucky because you always have the chance to make it right and we're going to have to do that against Sheffield Wednesday.

"We're going to have to come back on Saturday with hunger and try to win this football game because the fans deserve to see something different to what they saw."

 

I'd argue, we need a reaction this weekend too. We weren't sparkling at all on Tuesday but got the job done in the end. I actually think playing Hull right now is a decent test, and one we can be up for. It's also interesting to see if/how Xisco changes things for away games, or if he changes things again for a different opponent, like he tried the 4-4-2 the other night....

Pato is on pre match press duty today along with the gaffer.

I am worried about our new foreign players 

Not on the pitch more the culture shock of going to Hull 

Greno a shining beacon of normality amidst the locals

I went a few years back in the home end. After we went 1 up and duly won by that scoreline  my Hull supporting mate then proceeded to slag off Forestieri all match, basically trying to get me wound up and then thrown out. He failed much to his annoyance. They also had a goal disallowed late on, which I had to express mock dismay - but then proceeded to say the lino was probably 100% correct with the offside and we should always respect their decisions

Think I was at that one. Highlight of the game was a squirrel on the pitch.

Right, a bit of needle in it then for one of the opposition tomorrow....

Regan Slater said: "A few people have been on at me, but obviously I'm from Sheffield, I support the other side of Sheffield - a Sheffield United fan - so the game is close to home but I'll treat it like any other game."

[HoylandOwl]

Hull City journo talks about the Taaaaaagers.

[mkowlthesexynewversion]

Midfield is the real weak link 

[KrolMong]

I don’t have a clue what that team is. It’s looks like a back four of centre halves. Paterson somewhere in an attacking position. 4-4-2 maybe with Paterson and Gregory up top?

No idea.

I just Xisco and the players do !

[Tylluan]

4-1-3-2?

4-1-4-1?

 

[TheExile]

Yeah maybe 442 with Windass and Gregory or perhaps Paterson Windass and Paterson behind Gregory. Good to see Byers on the bench at least.

[HoylandOwl]

No Johnson at all again.

Writing is on the wall methinks 

[Andyben]

4-3-3 innit? 

Pato right, Windass left.

Could be yes if we want to put a bit of pressure on them on the ball at the back.

[TheExile]

Or maybe not 😅 442 by the looks of it 

[Reesh]

This Hull commentator is a *****

[Owling_Wolf]

This fucking stinks. Why is Dawson dropped? Nowt against new lad but he should have to earn his place. Otherwise it'll end up as "us and them".  

Also, on Tues, Bambo wasn't a patch on the younger new c.b. So why the fook does he get selected?

Southampton now beating Norwich 2 - 1

West Brom 1 - 0 Swansea

Yeah, i've got it muted now.

[Reesh]

Why is Bannan dropping to left back and also so deep.

Fuck off Barry, you're done.

[MAL]

Southampton 2 - 2 Norwich

[mkowlthesexynewversion]

Our passing from defence into midfield is shocking 

[Hirstys 12th Pint]

Passing is not our strong point is it.

WTF is Bannan playing ?  Is Delgado playing ?

[mkowlthesexynewversion]

And giving way too much space out wide 

[MAL]

Ipswich 1 - 0 Stoke

[MAL]

Preston 1 - 0 Sunderland

[Hirstys 12th Pint]

Looks like we may be waiting a little longer for Xisco Ball. 

[KrolMong]

We look organised without the ball, but clueless with it. Bannan and Bakinson are so deep. Has Bakinson touched it yet?

[MAL]

Cardiff 0 - 1 QPR

Preston 1 - 1 Sunderland

[MAL]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssss

[Andyben]

Get the fuck in 

[MAL]

Del boy

It appears he is !

[MAL]

Gone from 21st up to 11th

Then they hit the post, some very laid back defending there

[SouthamptonOwl]

Stop the season now. We're mid table, Leeds bottom half. Huddersfield, Hull and Boro down.😁

[MAL]

Southampton 2 - 3 Norwich

[MAL]

Back to the drawing board

[Reesh]

That's not a penalty.

[Hirstys 12th Pint]

FFS Gregory arms down.  Don't give the ref a decision. 

Keeper not far from penalty.

The challenge by their keeper was though. 

[Owling_Wolf]

Loiked at fron 90°, that didn't look a pen.
