big dosser Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 never thought i would say it but many sides behind are picking up points and picking up confidence, where we seem to be a side on a downward spiral. I think we all may need to get realistic and hope we can stay around midtable because it is not looking good. Always worrying when some players look like they could not give a shit,defenders that cant defend midfield with no heart and so bloody lightweight and forwards that could not hit a cows ass or strike up any kind of partnership. we need some hard players with some spirit for the badge and a bloody general on the pitch and one off the pitch a captain and a manager us fans can relate to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 Don't think we're going down this year, it will need to be less than 50 points to survive for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_BCFC Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 Don’t we have double the points of the side in final relegation spot after 22 games? Slightly skewed by Sheff We’d I know but really we will only need about 45 points to stay up. Ie we ain’t going down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh it can happen but it’s extremely unlikely. Hull have been a very unstable club in terms of fans v the board for a long time. They basically sold all their players and didn’t replace. Wit our injuries right now it is like that but even this horrendous run has seen us pick up a point a game (almost). So we’d be safe by 12 games time even playing this poorly with injuries etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Declining attendances as a result- and I mean sharply. Sold Bowen and Grosicki January. Then again, they don't sell Bowen and Grosicki January, they lose them on a free- problematic, with the owner-fan situation and subsequent decline in attendances! Owners were insistent they were as self-funding as possible. Much tighter purse strings than here, when I say self-funding I mean just that- or as close to as possible! Doesn't seem like it'd repeat itself here this season IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henriksen, forgot about him- didn't work out for him here, or us with him but a good player at this level, or was prior to joining us. None of them signed contracts though, and no wonder with that wage policy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phileas Fogg Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 I know it's redundant if we're getting results, but our early season good form flattered to deceive in places.

On the 11th Jan after 27 games Hull were only 3 pts of the playoffs on as you say 39pts only 2 pts behind us, a sobering reminder of how it can all go wrong.
