To watch – not a chance. Even as a 12th Man I stopped watching many weeks ago.
Even despite Mr Cox’s comments after the Morecambe game ! That could have been on any of the 41 games and the common denominator is whoever picks the team, formation and tactics. Now we lose Jordan Clarke who has only just returned from injury, and how many times has that happened this season.
McGahey, Taft, Onoriase they may pass fitness tests but in combat pressures are much higher and then they are out again, and again. And when you look at goals conceded it is not all their fault. Midfielders do not chase back and help. Check that last goal by Forest Green – look at McGahey and Tafts face, they don’t know where to cover next. They get no help.
Tonight I am expecting some surprises in selection especially on the bench. I will say what I think after team sheet released.
Tonight 442, side passes virtually non-existent and on the front foot at EVERY opportunity. Time for the coaching text book we use to be binned and that black folder in the dugout to be shredded and never to reappear.

If any of these premier division clubs have signed a document to breakaway they should be immediately relegated to the bottom of league 2.

We may not have been challenging for promotion but I am sure we would not be in this situation.
The issues are targeting – stop setting up to deal with opponents !
Stick to 4 4 2.
Stop putting recently injured players straight back in the team – how many times this season have we seen players get injured within a couple of games !
Stop selecting the same failures week after week !
Give the ignored, the forgotten few a chance. Why can’t they be a success.3 users thanked author for this post.
Would ‘experienced’ players get the message if they started the game but on the bench are the ignored, the forgotten ?
Tell them they have the first 45 to show if some deserve the second half !!
If they don’t then from the 55th minute the substitutions start. Lets see if there is any pride there if they deserve paying. Time for hitting ego’s.

The Karacan interview was very informative. Defended the manager but did question our recruitment that the delivered the majority of what arrived.
That simply are not good enough, although Cox wanted Hippolyte !! Noses need putting out of joint – it isn’t too late.

Howe is contracted at Blackpool until 2022. Cannot see us paying a fee.
Rowe, Butroid, Hornshaw, Pugh, Jessop, Barks, Jessop, Shrimpton, Silva are all out of contract – how many will be here next season ? I fear not many. We don’t develop our own these days to regular first team duty. So I cannot see Joey Dawson signing a contract, even more so when you look at the opportunities all of the above have had this season.
Mick Buxton gave young players a chance when there was a downturn of fortunes – Mr Neil Cox got his chance, Richard Hall got his chance as did Graham Alexander. How come these young pro’s never got a chance ?
Never been so disappointed in the management this season over this.

The difference is Derby and Ipswich could sustain a decent Championship team with 20k plus gates or even a tier 3 Premiership side with 30k plus turning up. We would get 5k in the Championship and 7k in the Premiership. Even those gates would need to sell out the away end to achieve.
Anyone with funds wanting to own a genuine lower league side I am sure could probably pick one up for free just now. I suspect you know who is bored playing football manager and is hanging on until he has sold his block of flats with football pitch attached. (Football pitch optional)
Hull can’t sell – they don’t have a ground.

Rowe and Bedeau scare the crap out of me if they’re the 2 central defenders he7 matches to go – no doubt VERY important ones, players will be thrown in who are on a hiding to nothing !
This season has seen the most mismanaged set of players I have ever seen. Mr Cox is the luckiest manager in our history because if the crowds were actually there the gates by now would be at near rock bottom numbers.

The silence for Prince Philip – is a must do.
The taking of the knee is achieving nothing.
I look forward to seeing his team selection, do I have any sympathy for Mr Cox – not in the slightest. We are in a mess even now and it is down to the master tactician who still sticks to a tried and tested format that delivers nothing.

Players get injured but with us as soon as they are deemed fit they are straight back in and then almost immediately get another injury but far more serious.
Buck stops there. Said before same players fail again and again but keep getting picked – Why ?

I think the Chairman could have handled the reply about the old fan who’s been going since 1948 a lot better.
But does nt this sum up how the fans are treated at Glanny Park and shows the real attitude between the Club and the Fans.
Instead of the reply he gave would nt a good PR answer of been something like ‘ I m sorry how you feel at the moment especially after supporting the Club for over 70 years. Please come as the Clubs guest at the first game back ‘As I say about the humberside statements / interviews or the Iron Bru podcasts he does not talk TO the fans he talks AT them ! There is a huge difference.
He goes on about what he has spent, don’t think he has ever admitted how much the club has wasted on some players ! Just some to look at Vose, Margetts, Hallam, Olomola – doesn’t say who got them so wrong. There is no point calling in because it is a waste of time.

Well put CT.
The same pool of players ! The same ones who fail time and again. Our new pro’s from the academy must wonder what they have done. They don’t have a chance, we recruit others failures and ignore our own.
He says we don’t have a CB – we do, he is called Charlie Barks problem is he may be the answer and the Manager won’t like being proved wrong. Look what happened when 442 started to yield points back to anything but.

Our manager declared the last 10 matches were very important, to establish momentum heading into the close season.
After the Crawley game ‘the last 9 games are very important’.
Had enough – ‘target’ away Messrs Cox, Swann & Swann because this season was and still is a collective disaster, own it !!

At the end of the season we will keep many that we have to because of stupid 2yr deals and lose our own who have not had a chance.
Same failures that fit the ‘attacking’ style we have get in the squad week after week. Then we have others who don’t get a look in !
High hopes rapidly replaced with low aspirations. And it does not improve. Said previously why are games now important. Worried now ? Wait for next season !!

Average players got chance after chance and remain average.
Our own developed players rarely a chance. George Hornshaw – got a chance, out of position. Tom Pugh has not had a run of games. Charlie Barks & Tom Jessop – not a chance.
Hippolyte gets chances – the manager wanted him !! Some games you wonder if players know the plan at kick off, perhaps they don’t !!
