Jerseybean Posted December 21, 2023 Report Share Posted December 21, 2023 Season’s greeting fellow-Reds. Be warned there are disturbing photos at the foot of this post! They recently agreed a deal to sign former Sheffield United striker Billy Sharp on a deal until the end of the season. The 37-year-old is a free agent after leaving LA Galaxy at the end of the MLS regular season in October. Sharp has scored 255 goals in 642 league appearances. He joins them from 1 January. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67779715 We won this fixture last time out - with a penalty! https://youtu.be/YQNHv2Ufo-A This is a great collection of past highlights: https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/six-of-the-best-the-robins-take-on-the-tigers/ They are currently fifth on 36 points. The most famous meeting between us and them was the Championship playoff final in 2008, for younger City fans, who weren't around at the time, Dean Windass scored the only goal of the game on 38 minutes to break our hearts, in front of 86,703 fans. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bristol/content/articles/2008/05/24/city_v_hull_postmatch_feature.shtml https://youtu.be/M7ghb4J_yOo On deadline day they signed Brighton full-back James Furlong and Aston Villa winger Jaden Philogene (currently out injured) for undisclosed fees and Liverpool midfielder Tyler Morton on a season-long loan. Hull City's relegation from the Premier League was confirmed on 3 May 2010, after a 2–2 draw at Wigan Athletic. Phil Brown and Ian Dowie had their contracts terminated, and Nigel Pearson was confirmed as the new manager. A reported block on player transfers into the club, set in place by the Hull City board on 28 July 2010 until transfers out would substantially reduce the £39 million-per-year wage bill, at first cast doubt on the new manager's efforts to build a squad capable of a quick return to the Premier League; nevertheless, Pearson brought several transfers and loan signings into the club in his bid to strengthen the squad for the season's campaign. The team set a new club record on 12 March 2011 with 14 away matches unbeaten, breaking a previous record held for over 50 years. This 17-match streak was finally broken by Bristol City on the last day of the 2010–11 season, Hull losing the match 3–0. On 15 November 2011, Nigel Pearson left Hull to return to Leicester. These days Liam Rosenior is their head coach. He is the son of fellow manager and former player Leroy Rosenior, who also played for us 51 times. He started his playing career with us as a midfielder. He scored our second goal in a 2–0 victory against Carlisle United in the 2003 Football League Trophy final at the Millennium Stadium. He has been given a one-game touchline ban and a £2,500 fine for misconduct following their 2-0 defeat by QPR on 9 December. He admitted using abusive and/or insulting words towards a match official after the final whistle. He will therefore be absent from the sidelines for Friday’s game. He recently signed a new three-year contract to extend his time at the MKM Stadium. He was appointed in November 2022 on a two-and-a-half-year deal and took the Tigers from 21st in the Championship to a 15th-placed finish last season. He has only lost 14 of his 52 games in charge. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67742814 Well known fans include: Sinitta, the singer, who is best known for her song “So Macho”, was born in the United States, but her affiliation is with the club from East Yorkshire. She is closely associated with Simon Cowell and she has appeared on shows such as The X Factor, I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! and The Masked Singer. John Prescott who served as the MP for Kingston upon Hull East for 40 years and was also Deputy Prime Minister between 1997 and 2007 and First Secretary of State from 2001 to 2007 in Tony Blair’s Labour government. Head-to-head record Won: 38 Lost: 29 Drawn: 26 Officials Referee: Ben Toner Assistants: George Byrne and Sam Lewis Fourth official: Josh Smith As mentioned Jaden Philogene is out due to medial knee ligament damage which he sustained when they played QPR. The Tigers' leading scorer limped off in the second half of the game at Loftus Road. England under-21 international Philogene has been a key man in Hull's start to the season with six goals. Rúben Vinagre is out with a hamstring injury and Dogukan Sinik has a knee injury. While Jason Lokilo and Allahyar Sayyadmanesh may both be available following injury. Defender Alfie Jones grew up in Long Ashton and attended Backwell School. Last season he picked up the Player of the Year Award.

pongo88 Posted December 21, 2023 Report Share Posted December 21, 2023 (edited) It’s worth mentioning that Ray Cashley, City’s keeper, scored against Hull in September 1973 with a kick from his own penalty area. It was a very windy night, a bit like the forecast for tomorrow. Unfortunately I can’t see O’Leary repeating the feat as he just doesn’t have the feet Edited December 21, 2023 by pongo88 4 1 Quote Link to comment

Got me thinking, apparently the record number of goals for a keeper is held by the Brazilian Rogério Ceni. He scored his 100th goal in a 3–0 win for São Paulo on 4 August 2011. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogério_Ceni Quote Link to comment

italian dave Posted December 21, 2023 Report Share Posted December 21, 2023 Merry Christmas @Jerseybean. Thank you for these matchday threads - always an interesting read and a wealth of information ahead of the game. Much appreciated. You’ll be busy with them these next 10 days so hope you find some time for some turkey and a glass or too as well! 9 Quote Link to comment
FNQ Posted December 22, 2023 Report Share Posted December 22, 2023 Merry Xmas JB and thanks for another great write up We’ve already played Hull on a Friday night this season which ended in a 1-1 draw at their place in another game that we could easily have won. The team back then was pretty much the same side as we’re fielding now, if anything we are stronger at the moment with both Conway and Dickie available. Interesting to see how much we have kicked on since then…. 1 Quote Link to comment
Kid in the Riot Posted December 22, 2023 Report Share Posted December 22, 2023 I think Liam Rosenior is a really impressive, innovative young coach who could go quite far in the game. Another tough home game for Manning with Hull in a play off position, having won their last two games against Middlesbrough and Cardiff. Friday night before Xmas, hopefully a lively atmosphere. 5 Quote Link to comment

Malago Posted December 22, 2023 Report Share Posted December 22, 2023 Another tight game which I’ve a sneaky feeling we’ll nick 1-0. Up The City. 1 Quote Link to comment
Davefevs Posted December 22, 2023 Report Share Posted December 22, 2023 the numbers suggest City’s defence will need to be at their stubborn best in open play, whilst being patient whilst Hull have the ball. Hull are a team that settle into a block so suspect we will either need to be patient ourselves in prising them open, or be clinical in transition. The game earlier this season was a bit frantic, but I think some of that came from players like Naismith passing the ball quickly out of defence. low scoring draw or low scoring win either way. I’d happily take a winning goal-fest though! Quote Link to comment
Ska Junkie Posted December 22, 2023 Report Share Posted December 22, 2023 They're bang in form so (as pre Sunderland), I'll take a point. You never know, it might work. Quote Link to comment
Super Posted December 22, 2023 Report Share Posted December 22, 2023 I'd be happy with a draw 4 points from 2 tough games will be fine. Quote Link to comment
Mr Popodopolous Posted December 22, 2023 Report Share Posted December 22, 2023 (edited) 4 from 2 would be alright yeah, problem is when you win the first and it is vs a side you have a good record against at home in particular all 6 really does become a strong goal. Plus points dropped perhaps unnecessarily v some or all of Blackburn, Huddersfield, Norwich- puts more pressure on this one. Edited December 22, 2023 by Mr Popodopolous 1 Quote Link to comment
bcfc01 Posted December 22, 2023 Report Share Posted December 22, 2023 (edited) I agree 6 is a sfrfonfrr goal. But four would also be hdfgrss. (Mr. P edited the typos, crafty bugger) Edited December 22, 2023 by bcfc01 Quote Link to comment

Quite, but a win would see us 9th or 8th if PNE lose at Swansea (for a few hours at least). Shows how tight it is in this division - a couple of wins can propel a team 6 places upwards. (I'm not looking at what a loss would look like)... Quote Link to comment
Street red Posted December 22, 2023 Report Share Posted December 22, 2023 We need a stronger performance came away from Sunderland game thinking how did we win that one. We need to stop them around the box hull seem to score from outside the box quiet regular. I'd like us to actually get at team from the start especially as we are at home. I'm going 1-1 but we will need to be on our game tonight. Quote Link to comment
