Injuries surely down to players having to play/return too early because we have such a threadbare squad. 

Certainly doesn't help. The squad is thin IMO, we need that luck with injuries too.

Immediate thoughts

Enjoyed our performance, attitude and work rate. We looked a totally different team from the home games against PNE and Brum.

Certainly deserved a point and tbh with the number of excellent chances we created we could have won it. The team overall played well, I’d single out Sykes as MotM, thought he was dangerous and his assist was superb. Zak threw in a couple of very sloppy passes late on (hoped he had eradicated them from his game) 

A huge shout out to the 408 traveling fans brilliant effort and support.

A very good point against a team who expected to record a home win.

It looks like teams will be coming down with a plan to stop us. PNE & Brum did a job on us and we need to get an alternative way around it. Away, and  teams have more of a need to come out and it gives us room to play. Need to sort it soon though.

Thought Hull were very efficient but no stand out dangers. 

They remind me of Sheff U last season. Not spectacular but get the job done when they get the ball.

Thought we played really well when they couldn't break our press. Don't think that Seri miss placed a pass all game and we still created a fair few chances.

Super enjoyable game to watch and really glad we came home with something, fully deserved that at least. Possibly and probably more.

Thought another long throw was gunna fall for us at the end there. Fair play to Wells and Cornick leading the line today, both did really well.

On to the next, COYR.

Cornick putting in a good shift, God knows why he didn't start him, he reminds me of Mark Viduka in his style. COYRs 

Its pretty clear that Wells should start in the middle, we need to accommodate a fit Tommy next to Wells as those 2 formed a really dangerous partnership, Cornick off the bench is a nice option, did well when he came on but I think Bells pace justified his start as he pinned back any danger they tried to create down that side, anonymous going forward though.

I’m not sure Preston Millwall and Birmingham though that about us 

If you didn’t enjoy that away performance, barring the poor goal conceded, against a good side that we’ve dominated for a good chunks of the game. You’re either very young and haven’t watched us much before or football isn’t really your thing.

[Curr Avon]

City's best performance of the season deserved 3 points. Just need to be more clinical in front of goal. 

Superb cameo by Cornick too.

Hull and their wage bill has surged as per their owner a year ago, whereas we have been heading lower.

Hull also sign PL loanees, yes £20m for Lewis-Potter. £30-35m across Scott and Semenyo.

Talking of PL loans. Twine nearly makes Antony look two footed. Expected more of a threat from him.

I've been drinking , but IMHO...

Knight , very very good. I'm liking what I've seen so far over the 4 games.
Sykes, should never be dropped for Cornick , who TBF came on and looked good.
Pring's best game this season.
The rest solid and decent. But  a shout out for Max, caught a few crosses, made every save he needed to and distribution better.

Good performance, but two points dropped for me. Sykes, Williams and Cornick all failed to take golden chances to win it. Knight looked superb and Naismith’s vision helps.

The "superb" Knight missed a free header if we're talking missed chances!!!

[The Journalist]

Just as we were last year, we’re a better team going forward with Naismith at the back. I appreciate that’s not how it’s supposed to work but alas, it does.

Also thought Bell was quite poor and, while a threat with his constant running and pace, looks a passenger in possession. He just doesn’t make it stick. Still think he gets a bit of a free pass simply because he’s an academy product

You seem to be getting previous games confused with tonight’s fixture.

Eh? You think we’ve been better in previous games?

 

[Tim Monaghan]

I've got to say, apart from the first 20 minutes we looked okay. We do look a bit toothless at times though. I'm really looking forward to Tommys return. It's not going to happen, but I'd love us to sign a striker, but, yeah…

Of the chances we missed, Williams is CMF and Sykes is RMF , Wells as central striker had a decent game. Scored and one chalked off very late on. We have little money and a great prospect out injured.

It ain't gonna happen.

Run out of likes but that's the best post I've read tonight.

[RedRoss]

Glad we came away with a decent result and a good performance considering the melodramatic atmosphere on here recently.

Are you really a City fan?

I mean we have some negative posters on here, but **** me you seem to be on another level. Could've conceded 4 or 5, Hull missed best chances, Hull could've won it twice. 

Did you watch the game looking at the radio?

[The Journalist]

Was the Wells offside goal actually offside? I missed the replays and discussion at the time.

FWIW, when it happened live I thought he was off and was surprised the flag didn’t go up… then it did.

On another day we could’ve been humped….. 2 mid table teams. 

Annnnd, on another day Williams and Sykes hit the target, Wells goal is allowed and we score 4. 
It's all perspective I guess.

Cornick with Yeboah, and Bell playing off him, then Harry will be banging in 25 goals this season! If not I'll eat my hat!

-they scored, they hit the post, twine free kick, Connolly missed 1-1 and max save from him on the angle. Pretty clear and obvious.

I think it probably was, but what annoyed me was Wells looks at the Lino, he obviously doesn't flag .
Then lets it go for several second until the Ref from a shit angle gives it offside. Maybe the right decision, but pure guesswork.

[johnbytheriver]

Our best performance of the season! Deserved all 3 points IMHO.

Thanks, I knew there was one I missed. Either way, we had enough golden chances to have won that game comfortably IMO.

There do seem to he more injuries not just with us but medium, long term injuries all over the place so early in the season.

Connolly missed 1-1 and max save from him on the angle. You do get that's why O'Leary is in the team right?

Pretty clear and obvious. Yes, when you ignore our clear cut chances.
