Back from the game - Hull (A)

In simple terms: if the League Tow top-scorer doesn't make the step up we'll probably get relegated. Sobering enough thought for most of you?

Thats an usually positive post from you Floydster as it offers the possibility that the League Two top-scorer may make the step up and we end up being promoted.

Fedds was the only person not to make a mistake.

Yet some idiots on here want him replaced for a keeper who was shocking at charlton earlier this week.

Morons....you know who you are.

Agreed

.

No he wasn't

Yes he was.

Ok, shocking may be harsh but certainly not commanding and failed to impress over what we have already.

[SHORT AND CURLY]

McCarthy stopped Charlton getting maybe 4 or 5 on Tuesday night Whoever was slagging him off is a bellend. Was Church useless again?

Count me in then

At Charlton he was not very good apart from an excellent save when one on one.

He is no worse/better than Feds. If Feds gets injured he would be an adequate replacement.

In my opinion Hamer was the better keeper on Tuesday at Charlton.

I have never been so bloody bored. It looked truly apathetic out there today. Not even Compo could kick start anything that could put a gloss on that turd.

Quite! Let's hope he does, eh. Lot of expectation on this lad's shoulders now. Score the goals and make us a successful team again. With our current blunt-looking strike force and a leaky defence containing the pedestrian Harte and Griffin, we're in all sorts of trouble. If this fella can get on the end of chances, we'll be ok.

I doubt he is going to be a Shane Long though; chasing aimless long ball, using his upper body strength to bring the ball down and his pace to charge at defenders, winning penalties and scoring goals. We might have to slightly amend the pre-historic hoofball style we adopt.

[LWJ]

WHY THE FCUK WAS GRIFFIN NOT SENT OFF. It would of given BM a chance to play Cummings atleast.

Useless, better than charlton though. Some signs we have it in us. But seriously Hull just bombarded our fullbacks and thats where we lost the game

Agree. I hope McDermott brings in Cummings and Mills for the Watford game. Griffin and Harte should now be experienced back-up players rather than first team starters. We need much more pace at the back.

[Rex]

That was a oxf*rd awful game involving 2 shit teams that could barely pass the ball to each other.

It make it worse as I now live in Hull and dont drive this will be the only time I get to see us this season and it was the worst game I have seen since Watford away 4 seasons ago.

Grim all round.

And have you heard the one about The Emperor's New Clothes?

I'm surprised Sir Ego hasn't suffered from exposure other than that in the media.

[Woodcote Royal]

After 3 signings in a week you must be revelling in his pain

But three seasons of reading these predictions of doom, gloom and relegation and the evidence at the end of those seasons contradicts them. So what rational conclusion can I draw from that?

I wonder whether the club's luck has run out at last? The policy of selling the saleable assets every summer and replacing them cheaply will presumably fail at some point.

[FiNeRaIn]

You've only seen Feds play this season, I've seen both. McCarthy played better. Feds is obviously worried, according to the match commo, he actually came for some corners and crosses today.

Opinion of BMD > ian Royal.

Sorry Ian. I'll take a qualified opinion over yours, one I happen to agree with anyway. Feds is a great goalkeeper, he has his weaknesses but is firmly and rightfully number 1.

And, for all I know, this season you could be right. All I'm saying is calling every game as shit, even when you're in a minority of one, tends to undermine the credibility.

I have no problem with McDermott playing Feds as first choice atm, he's going with experience over talent, a tricky decision, but understandable. I believe I said on another thread that Feds will get at least about half dozen games before poor performance would see him dropped. It's a close call and now the decision has been made Feds needs to be given a full chance, I happen to think playing McCarthy now is the better choice for the whole season and longer term. But he needs to buck his performances up if we wants to end the season, or even get to Xmas as number one.

I have an issue with you saying a very good keeper who had a decent game was shocking. Especially when you didn't see the match, probably didn't listen to the match and seem to be ignoring the majority of descriptions of the match on here.

[FiNeRaIn]

Plenty of descriptions on here said his command of the area in particular was poor on tuesday, even this thread alone...and the other night. Shocking may be a bit harsh, but thats EXACTLY the over-statement people use when they describe feds performances...so that's my way of perhaps taking a snipe and riling those same people. Its obviously worked with you as you are very critical of feds, even when not deserving. Fed is a talented keeper, as I said he has weaknesses however you are assuming that with a long run in the team mccarthy would be an improvement...that's a very close call and nowhere near as cut and dry as some of you are making out.
Every time we lose a game he is made a scapegoat its getting annoying, its fickle, ignorant and its really a peeve of mine when people start chiming in with it after every game. We had no sustained pressure today, hardly created a chance and yet fed is taking the blame for conceding a flukey horror goal? ok....
Why is no one blaming the horrible lack of creativity in our side and some quite awful, awful defending as per usual?

[Lower West]

No need to comment on game. As was dismal from both teams.

As far as Reading are concerned time to get to back to basics. First weakness that needs addressing is both fullbacks.

Hull had an obvious game plan to target Harte. A very average Hull "winger" exposed all of Harte's frailities. With a lack of pace, his experience and positional play contributes nothing.

Jobi and Kebe are receiving no support with overlaps. So its left to them to beat players which most often results in lost possession.
