The worst bit is, we did the hard work to get to second place, and now are squandering it.

They say the table doesn't lie but we have been In a false position really as not got the results against the top six really 

[verlaine1979]

Got no answer to their press at the moment, and our only out ball is KWP running the length of the pitch. Should make changes now, this is fucking shit.

[redkeith]

Wtf was Rothwell doing drilling square across the D ? Suicide football.

[Bad Wolf]

Rothwell, Mara and Edozie off

Aribo, Adams and Brooks on 

IMO

[Block41 Saint]

Should be 4 down here. Pathetic. 

[Sheaf Saint]

FUCKING CHANGE IT RUSS!

[Disco Stu]

Crap from Russell tonight. That lineup shows lessons not learned.

[Dr Who?]

Oops! 

[Jonnyboy]

Feel like I've fallen asleep and woken up back in September.

[Saint NL]

What are we doing?

When we do get the ball, there's nothing going forward. Big changes needed at halftime

This is dreadful. Why keep playing into Hull hands with this playing out from the back?

Because that is exactly how RM wants us to play

We need to save our 5 subs and waste 45min just to establish that fact mate. Deano adamant the only thing that is wrong is a lack of running and not the tactics 🤣

It’s the personnel within those tactics that are letting us down.

[Saint86]

I don't think i ever want to see manning starting an important game for us ever again. Absolutely shocking tonight.

[VectisSaint]

Goodness me, this is awful. Our passing is shit, our playing out from the back is shit, no energy. Awful. We'll be lucky to get in 2 down.

[stknowle]

Really really shit tonight no doubt about it. 

[CanadaSaint]

I’ve got a ton of time for Martin but this was an arrogant, “I know better” starting line up. Two players in key positions who should never be in it, and both of them have been torched.

[Saint NL]

Close to a third, ffs

[Chez]

Do you mean a third? 

my stream is a little behind. Wouldn't be surprised. Hull are all over us and when we don't have the ball, defensively we are not all that IMO (all season not just today)

[adrian lord]

Russell is too worried about pleasing the players and giving 'everyone a start' rather than picking form. The presser hinted at it as he doth protest too much about having to leave people out and banging on about the subs.

[Block41 Saint]

God knows how they haven't scored there. Far better at playing out from the back than we've been tonight. 

[Convict Colony]

Manning fucked header

[Master Bates]

Time to do my half time snax

[benjii]

Hull are playing well, but high risk, basically going for man for man all over the pitch. That's made for people like Aribo and Brooks that are brave to take a touch, not just play the way they are facing. 

We are leaving way too much space between our players though and making it easy for them.

I have to say, Manning is shite and Rothwell was a terrible selection for this match.

[obelisk]

We'll be lucky to get to half time at 0-2.

[Mr X]

We look like a primary school team tonight

Smallbone has been so static. Isn’t getting into positions to be the out ball.

MIA against Huddrsfield and again tonight,along with a few others.

[Monk]

Rosenior has tactically tied RM up in knots this evening. 

[Winnersaint]

Seriously can you imagine the excitement through the playoffs?

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Oh, and it was Rothwell there too. A very poor use of MartinBall there.

As I was saying. Good attacking skills. But lack of fitting into the system at its best, to the point we're a bit compromised.

Hull swarming over us. We can;t put passes together, let alone dominate possession. 9 shots with 4 on target for them 2 shots with 1 on target for them.

Anotehr comedy moment from Manning. Again, we didn;t ahve those passing options and both Manning and Rothwell aren;t at the level to cope when pressed.

[Saint NL]

They should have had four now, murdering us on the break

[Mr X]

We should be five nil down 

[Lee On Solent Saint]

What was the actual point of signing Rothwell? Two goals against Huddersfield just doesn't cut it. 

[Master Bates]

Eastleigh 4 up then

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Hull fans must be loving watching this. Lots of possession. Flowing forward, and beyond the stats of shots, there have been more that they could have done better with.

[Osvaldorama]

This is an abysmal performance 

[Sheaf Saint]

Jesus fucking Christ they're slicing us open time and time again. Lucky not to be 4-0 down.

[Wiggles31]

Any streams?

[adrian lord]

Should be 4-0 

 

We are getting slaughtered on the field and it is worsening with each passing minute. 

[Micky]

Russ said after the west Brom game that he didn't mind if we played it out from the back and it went wrong and we concede a few.  I'm assuming he has a plan to retrieve the situation. 

[Mr X]

Just now, Wiggles31 said:

Do you really want one?

[Hatch]

Zero out ball for the defence ,  they will continue to get caught out

[obelisk]

I thought the plan was to win the game in hand. Oh well.

[Wiggles31]

Just now, Mr X said:

Honestly I am not sure

Are you sure you want one? really sure?

A stream won't be deep enough to drown the misery of watching this shite.

[Bad Wolf]

Has Russell been asked to "do the right thing and resign" yet? Because that's always my favourite part of the turning on the manager process.

In which case he is a prat.

[Master Bates]

Apparently Russell's got a rocket and he's gonna use it at half time.

Quite similar him and I, quite similar
