I went last night & have had time to reflect however my view has not changed.

I have taken into account injuries, the arrival of new players & those that chose to leave the club, that it was the first completitve match. Leed's performance & in my view @ times some poor decisions by the referee.

In my opinion it was a disappointing performance from Hull. Overall I saw nothing from Hull to be excited about. Nothing new & @ times dumb & poor play.

I will praise Hull when it is deserved & merited but last night in my view it was not, it was an unacceptable performance. I hope that last night's performance was 'a one off'. I do not expect Hull to win every match but I do want to see them play better than they did last night.

Houghton had a poor game, but he is usually a consistent performer. Plenty of the team didn't have their best of games.

Houghton's passing off the floor is terrible, that's why he doesn't generally do it. This makes him stand up and take a couple of steps which ultimately means our halves don't get enough time and space.

This slow / poor service from acting half has been the undoing of several recent average/good half backs. Seymour and now Holdsworth are the latest to be suffering from this. They need time and space to be creative; provide them with early, precise ball and watch them begin to have an impact on games.

Dummy halves are looking to engage the markers more & more, don't thing the ball gets passed off the floor very often now.

Leeds won the game in the first half hour, 60:40 possession and dominating field position in that period took its toll in the last 15-20 minutes.
