Quote: Adamjk "It was a very poor game, especially the 1st half and given our inability to keep hold of the ball and some of the ridiculous decisions we made towards the end, I don't think we would have deserved to win.
I thought we were quite unlucky with some of the refereeing decisions and most 50/50 calls seemed to go against us almost every time. And like you said we were pinged on several occasions for slowing the game down but both teams were guilty of it.
The incorrect play the ball thing is completely pedantic and a rule that really annoys me sometimes. There's a large number of incorrect play the balls in every game if you're going by the letter of the law. The rule should only be enforced when teams are using it to their advantage as a quick play the ball, not when a player has been held down and all the players are pretty much back in the defensive line.
I don't know whether it was our good defence or Hull's complete inability to do anything on our line but to only concede 14 points given the sheer amount of possession they had, we did quite well and I did think that our goalline defence at times was very good.
Some of our decisions towards the end were confusing to say the least. What exactly were Wilshere and Alker doing kicking the ball that early in the tackle count I don't know.'"
That about sums it up mate.We have no impact in the danger area.
