Hull City 1-3 Aston Villa post match thread

[LukeJames]

Grealish seemed to be playing deeper than Hourihane which limited us going forwards, Hull were dog shite but im glad we took full of advantage of it. A very favourable set of fixtures to come, hopefully points on the board and some momentum picked up early on.

2 seasons ago we started with 1 win in 12. Last season we started with 1 win in 7 and it was the difference between us and Cardiff. Great to start with a win, hopefully we can win a few games early on to set ourselves up better for the season.

The way Elphick didn't celebrate, has made me wonder if he's joining Hull in the next few days!  Elmo was showing respect to his former employers, Hutton went bat shit crazy.

I thought Elphick's lack of celebration reflected him blaming himself for their goal. He didn't want to go too mad celebrating us being level when we wouldn't have been behind in the first place if not for his misjudgement.

Agreed.

Well something ! All defender scored the 3 goals
Elmo getting a goal !
But even more Hutton !

Well played the win determined performance and had better quality

Was concerning falling behind and as pleasing to take the equaliser as quick as possible.
Also concerning the slow start and first half in parts though some good play and stepped it up second half

Great to start with a win . Hull had limitations so was a win with cavets .
There will be bigger tests to come

Up the villa !

He got some stick from Villa fans after their goal so he was making a point by not celebrating. He is unnecessarily and undeservingly arrogant.

Those substitutions would never have happened unless the owners have put pressure on Bruce to play the youngsters. When was the last time he brought on attacking young players when we were ahead away from home?

Green came on at 1-1 and RHM was a straight swap for a striker not playing well.

The scottish cafu.. the Scottish Cafu....  Alan Hutton  the Scottish Cafu

Lovely chorus of The Scottish Cafu included.
Thanks for posting.

As poor as they were Hull waltzed through our defence on four occasions any team with a bit of quality we would have been in trouble. Green looks ready to be a proper footballer now and lots of pace. Kodjia is a shadow of when he first joined us not sure what the problem is but he needs replacing. We have started with a win lets hope its a sign.

As I said, I think we need to give him a run of 5-6 games.  If he can grab a goal or 2 it  will do him the world of good, he's had, pretty much, 14 months of injuries and comeback games, he will be rusty and needs some patience, especially playing up front on his own.  If RHM is the backup and is offering the same as tonight from the bench then I think we can afford to let him ease his way back into things.

What we do need to change though is getting Green into the team.  His pace and dribbling hurts teams and drives their defence deeper, in a squad as slow as ours he's worth his weight in gold, he'd be right behind Grealish and Chester in the order of names in the team for me.

Not much in it for the first hour and Hull practically gave us the first two goals.
Wonderful goal from McCafu and I think it was a goodbye from Jack unfortunately.
It was a shame Green didn't start but when he and RHM came on it livened things up.
Prior to that we seemed to be reverting to the often used hoof to Koj with predictable results.
Great result though and we move on, just hope we can keep Jack, counting down the hours until Thursday 5 o'clock.

Where was the Jedi? Why was Gardner on the bench (would D-H not have been a better option)? Why was Axel not on the bench?

That's what I took from it as well.

Jedi was ill and Axel wasn’t registered in time.
