LFC Saint did you actually go to the game?

In the context it was a must win game for both sides, who pulled their tripe out and were shattered at the end.
No a pretty game but both sides gave their all.
Hard to criticise KC with what was available and the circumstances.
We scored two cracking tries and scrambled well in defence.
FC fans will probably consider they were unlucky, which in a way they were.
Make no mistake this was a massive win,especially after the Pies result today.
Lfc Saint do you have a hidden anti-KC agenda?

Luke Thompson's defence is disappointing. To miss 5 tackles as a forward when you didn't make all that many (relative to others) to start with isn't good. Walmsley's metres are huge again. He's been top metre maker every week so far. I notice as a team we made fewer metres than Hull and fewer breaks than Hull. I wonder where they made their breaks? Eight in a game is quite high.

Just watched that 1st try again against Hull. It gets better every time I watch it. Slightly reminiscent of the never say die, entertaining rugby we used to see when Cunningham, Long, Martyn etc played. Keeping the ball alive at all costs to break down a very tight defence.

Cunningham's doing a top job so far imo.

I think you really need to look at each tackle before jumping to conclusions. Many teams this season are employing bump-and-run tactics which makes it very difficult for defenders in a one-on-one situation. The statistician's pen suggests all missed tackles are equally bad. But you don't need to spend much time watching the game to realise some players are more culpable than others.

While you may have a point, we only have the stats as given to go on for all players so we can only take them at face value. If another player, say I don't know Wilkin, missed five tackles in a game I don't think anyone on here would be questioning his style of tackling, just that he missed five tackles in a game! When Walmsley missed nine tackles in one game nobody was contemplating the style of tackling used, including me, because missing nine tackles is terrible by a forward, so I'm not going to change my approach towards the stats simply because the disappointing figure this time belongs to young Thompson.

Which is why I wish they would either publish opta's full statistical record for the week or failing that - none at all. If the clubs are opposed to publishing complete figures then I'm certain they know arming spectators with an unreliable, inaccurate, misleading and unscientific subset of those figures can only lead to confusion of the fans.
