Hull City v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Legion]

Been away for the weekend in a far off place where the Internet was unavailable. This game was a classic, right?

Yes. It's been a long time since we witnessed a 0-0.

And more likely to get relegated, probably.

As an aside, I heard an interesting observation made by SVC that Norwich are far better defensively under Hughton than they were in the 'Lambert years'.

And they have scored about 5 goals in 7 games which means they will not win many games and draw a few and as above.

Yes, it's amusing that folk seem to cite some yokel whining on about Lambert's team shipping a few goals whilst ignoring the fact they'd moved up about 60 places in the league inside three seasons.

I bet there's some economist bod feeding Lambert data proving that relentless attacking yields higher gains.

Possibly true which is why I was surprised and disappointed that we seemed happy to accept the draw from the game.
Arsenal, Man U, Spurs etc would have been busting a gut to win that match in the final 10-20 minutes.

Not going to slate anyone but think the game was there for the taking if PL had wanted it enough. Perhaps bringing Baker on with 20 to go could have seen Bacuna and Luna threaten more and perhaps fashion a few more chances. That's that!

[damon loves JT]

I'm not happy to accept the draw, but short of lying rigid on the floor and drumming my heels on the carpet I'm not sure what I can do about it.

We'll have better results and worse ones before the end of the season.

Wasn't it around this time last year that we went 1-0 up against Southampton and got totally gubbed? Now that was a cack result.

Exactly. We drew a game by playing poorly and missing our best player. Against a team who started the day above us.

They've had an easier set of fixtures so the league table doesn't mean a huge amount yet unless you're being cast adrift like Palace and Sunderland.
But they would have taken a lot of confidence from their start, making them a tough opponent.

Kozak was climbed all over yesterday, again. Stop slagging the bloke off before you have seen him play properly. Ffs, sometimes, some of our fans really piss me off with their negativity. Look at where we were 3 seasons ago, look at us know. Get a fucking grip some of you. Idiots.
What do you want ? The Prem handed to you on a silver bloody platter, Lambert to unearth 22 players of Benteke's quality on a fraction of the budget that the top six teams have ? Herds of wilderbeest, galloping majestically across the Plains ?
Get real.

Dan it's not right to label posters as idiots simply because some of us think they are being harsh on Kozak.
And oh by the way I saw a herd of wildebeest  rampaging across Perry Common today!

It's not a top post.

Labelling people who disagree with you as "idiots" is a bit of a no-go, to be honest.

Yep, and the Prem on a silver platter would be bloody lovely too. It's going on my list to Santa anyway.

6 pts off top. Hardest starting fixtures in the league. We can close that gap. Happy with our points given we have had some pretty awful performances. We can get better. I thought we looked well, almost solid. It was helped by Hull parking the bus but still, felt alright.
