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.

Wells should have had 3! Sykes MOM for me

Cornick needed to pass it, the angle he had he was never going to score

Connolly missed the 2 best chances of the game.

I think an over head kick from 3 yards out might be in the top 2.

Best performance of the season 

Should have won

could have scored 4 or 5 

 

Could’ve conceded 4 or 5 to be fair.

Swing and hope.

Good point, much better performance wise.

Just an observation though and it’s not necessarily a criticism. Nige has said he wants us to progress more on the possession front. But right now, this team I don’t see it.

We’re so much better playing with pace, down the sides. I don’t think we’re good enough yet to be playing from the back and Max pinging balls to either full back.

We’ve lost the ball on a few occasions doing that now.

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.

[Northern Red]

Good point that could have been 3 on another day.

Now can everybody please calm the **** down? Been absolutely toxic on here in the past week.

Thought we played fairly well and could have won that by 2 clear goals. 

We need a striker.

Still the odd error at the back which leaves us open. 

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.

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

Decent performance, not a bad result. Shame we have to cope with many injuries again.

Caught it too well, miss kick either side of the keeper and it's in.

[Garland-sweden]

Well done playing so good after Brum home.

Why do you keep saying big spending? We’ve spent more in the summer?

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.

Most games you probably could, that’s why you have a goalkeeper

I’m not sure the pass was on for Cornick, the angle was narrowing, but he scores that if lifts it.

Sykes did well, as did most of them. Not MOTM for me after blazing that sitter over the bar.

Loans aren’t free you know. Clearly they’re spanking loads on loan fees and wages. Just because they’re not published, doesn’t mean they’re not there. 

[Lew-T]

Cam Pring brilliant btw.

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

[BUTOR]

Much more like the City we all expected to see this season. Chill out everyone we are going to be just fine. 

[Topper 123]

Well done City a great point on the road could have been 3 CREDIT where due battling point COYR 

[marcofisher]

Good championship game to be fair, either team could have comfortably won.

Easier to do that on the road IMO.

Fully fit Atkinson Naismith and Scott had we kept him would progress the possession side I reckon. Well Scott has gone but certainly Atkinson LCB and Naismith midfielder or is he best at centre back.

[Lew-T]

Shame for Andi. How’s your luck!

[Full nelson]

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

You do factor in wages in your judgement on spending surely? Hull are certainly splashing the cash with that in mind..

Conway in the in the studio after calling the gaffer nige then quickly correcting himself to gaffer

You’re very negative for someone who’s only been on the forum for 2 weeks.
Come on, it takes longer than that..

Yeah, we certainly look a perfect outfit to be playing away from home.

Real Shame. We could do with a fit Weimann currently. Big loss imo

Please see the Sykes thread.

[MarcusX]

That was actually a very enjoyable game minus the opening 15.

End to end, plenty of chances, some good saves by both keepers and I think we probably did enough to say we deserved all 3 points - though they’d probably make just as convincing argument that they deserved it
