* The Unofficial "Official" Boro v Hull Match-Day Thread *

[BoroMart]

I think Jones had a decent game, and provided an inch perfect cross for our second. I also think Forss deserves a lot of praise for his non stop work ethic and how he supported the midfield throughout.

yeah good cross, but he wasn't under pressure and had 4 people to aim for, I'd be pretty annoyed if he'd failed on that one

 

[Rofesleg]

Hes much better than either of those two

I think that was his point.

 

[Rofesleg]

Thought Giles had got the third! Anyway three points lifts us away from the relegation zone for a day or so. Would be good if we got to the World Cup break in mid table.

It is more than a day or so . We can only drop by one more place tomorrow, so we'll either be in 18th or 19th place before kick-off on Saturday.

Still in Hull. Not a great game but a great result.

 

[Colin Warnek]

How did Wilder overlook Hackney - he’s looking like a bit of a find

Because he’s an arrogant tosspot let’s face it. nevertheless Scott should have recruited better for him.

 

[Cuthbert]

Aye, I know the song. I just didn’t think it was that one.

Yeah, not that song.

 

[Jedi boro]

Terrific result and not to take anything away from our win but Hull are a very poor championship team.

That’s the thing as this league is full of em.

It’s not a good league at all look at cov beating Blackburn.

It’s the weakest championship for years.

Weakest at the top maybe, but I think there's strength in depth. Usually there's a good few teams at the bottom who are garbage. This season it all looks quite even.

If you say so, the stats don't agree. They never looked like winning at any point. We probably should have had 2 more goals too. See what you want, of course, thats your right.

These stats?

Carrick will still be learning about the squad but, some promising signs in the last two games.

 

[Jonny Ingbar]

I'm not sure if anyone had mentioned Lenihan's performance, as he was excellent all night, not just his own game but his organisation and driving the team in too.

Pinging a few good balls towards Jones and others - there is certainly something to work with now - slight improvements, hopefully continues.

10 shots OK. That's bullocks. Livescore says 2 on 4 off for Hull. I notice you missed off the 1-3 start too

I just took it off the BBC sport website - anyway we have a difference of opinion (what’s new ;-)the good news is we have three points and hopefully it’s the start of a good run for us !

Yeah, not that song.

Yes, it is.
It is the same as the Arteta song at Arsenal.

That we can agree on

His passing has always been good, way better than Fry's. I noticed on Saturday that Preston only really pressed hard when Lenihan was on thr ball, Fry they sat off more.

It was a proper captains tyoe performance last night.

Why is it b***ks?
If the shot is blocked by a defender ahead of the keeper, it's not a shot on target or a shot off target, it's a blocked shot.

Hull certainly had a number of shots blocked by our defenders.

Spot on. At least there's a better shape down the middle and he's shown he's not afraid what were once fringe players into the mix.

Agree, it's the same as the Arsenal song. Just not being sung to that tune (IMO, as Scrug said). First line is similar though.

Looked at a few YouTube clips of the Arsenal fans and the rest sounds pretty different.

Maybe it's an Ed Sheeran / Sami Chokri moment!!
