Just doesn't seem suited to me for the lone striker role. I'd be happy for him to be moved on in the summer probably on a hefty wage as well.

First half Tommy was very good 2nd half he never kept possession hence why he was subbed.

I would agree with this. Lone striker isn't for him

I thought Tommy played better on Friday than he has done for a while, the reasons for that are maybe a different debate altogether. However Friday aside I believe Wells has helped both him and Bell's game. Earlier in the season they both seemed to play better when Wells was on the pitch.

Obviously Bell is injured so can't compare his stats, and I haven't looked at any, but rarely do Conway and Wells get any game time together now? 

Previously, I mean in past seasons, I thought Wells was sometimes guilty of trying to hard, eg wasting energy chasing hopeless balls instead of playing more intelligently. I Friday I thought he somewhat reverted back to that and was blowing almost immediately.

Let’s wait & see on that.

Today’s result significantly increases the likelihood of Manning being in charge next season & it wouldn’t surprise me at all if he made signing him his number one priority.

Yes I would agree with that. We shouldn't be jumping in and paying a huge fee, even if it was possible. I just enjoyed what he was trying to do, being positive and bringing players into the game with intelligent passes rather than the usual hit and hope approach.

Thought he was ok today.  Wanted too long on the ball around the box.  Very weak in the challenge.  Sykes made a very big / bigger impact when he came on.

For the game time he has had in the last two months or so, I as I said I liked the look of him. Fully match fit I would expect him to be a step above Sykes.

I really like him, sadly he isn't ours or likely to be. I wonder how different the season would be (on and off the pitch) if we had him available for all matches since January?

Yes mate, went last season and we sold around 1,300. Unfortunately our flight was cancelled last minute, we drove up but a hundred or so didn’t make it 

I remember all that chaos. I was there too, stayed up and will be doing so the same.

I heard that the number we have sold is a lot lower than usual, unsurprisingly

Gave us 2,000 tickets…..900 left 

Interesting. Did we start with 2000 though?

I’m staying in Newcastle for the weekend so wouldn’t have made much difference, I’d imagine quite a few are doing the same. Around 1,100 sold so not a bad effort 

Out of interest where are you getting that figure from? I would guess you are no where near, no where at all.

He has personal friends who are employed by Bristol Sport who have worked there a long time. 

Everyone knows this surely?

Reminds me of Connor Roy’s run for president..

I loved that series, can certainly see some similarities.

The stages are side-by-side so it shouldn't really matter. Wonder how sales are going for this (and Forwards for that matter).

I'm not so sure, you might get surges rushing from one finishing to another act immediately starting? That's assuming there will be a crowd of course!

That's OK M.I dont think there will be many there.

No, me neither. I'm not

There doesn't seem to be much overlap time for people to move from one stage to another?

It's a bit weird but I'm not getting the outrage tbh.

I'm not sensing any outrage. More disbelief and laughter type of feeling. For me too its about priorities, let's get a few basics right and bring back a bit of feelgood between the club and the fans.

Also perhaps not really the time or the place for Zak, or whoever is behind this, to be launching a personal range. They would have probably been better exploring this in the close season, not amid the emotions and turmoils of this one.

Please say it's an April 1st stunt that has been leaked early? 

Well if it is it's pretty convincing, obviously I didn't proceed but I tested out the buying process and it took me to the payment stage. So it's as real as can be

I like Zak but he’s a footballer who plays for a mid table Championship club.

Who on earth thinks anyone will buy this?

I must admit if I had to guess which one of our players would bring out a clothing brand based on himself, Zak would be so far down my list I would have said 'I give up, tell me'

The club do themselves no favours do they?

They really are not reading the room, can they be that far out of touch?

Is he a better designer than Jon though, could be in for some interesting shirts next season if they do a joint venture

Hull owner seemed keen on that she  he first joined. He seems somewhat mad though...

Under 16s- £2 tickets.

Seniors- £2 tickets.

Bring a friend but only one if existing season ticket holders- £2 tickets.

That may have been early days to win fans back but he pledged crazy discounts and crazy policies.

£300 Adult ticket and Under 10s come free was another.

Hull do, or did, the same price range for any stand in the stadium I think. All stands are equal.

Isn't it them who do free away travel too, or they did until recently? Great value being a Stoke fan if you disregard the football

Of course the club will want him to get an international call up...he's more sellable then £££

I'm up there for a long weekend. How does it affect trains when we are up there. I was hoping to go to Edinburgh on Friday or Sunday, not sure which operator that is? Also is the Metro likely to be affected? Anyone have any knowledge or info please?

I understood King wants to see out the rest of the season and move back up Leicestershire way. Well that's what his wife said on Social media months ago, and wives tend to get what we want
