I agree about Johnstone,Dont think he will be here next season.Change of club or loan
Probably get the hate mails for saying this but if McNamara wanst the son of Steve he wouldnt be anywhere near the first team.
Even at 19 you should be seeing signs of quality but there is nothing there to excite and given that he is not blessed with pace will i am certain end up as a nine in the Championship
Young Pryce will have the pick of clubs when his contract is for renewal and the club should be doing everything in their power to try and bring him here.

Get what some are saying about Johnstone and McNamara but our problems lay at the door of our senior players. Big earners who don't stand up and lead when it matters. Time to move some of them on. The squad will be better for it.

Thing is Smiggs they won’t walk away from 1-2 year great deals. Hodgson needs to find a way to get the best out of them. Easy said then done too.

Disappointing from start to finish. We looked flat from the get go. We made Richardson look like a good number 7!

JJ isn't good enough. We singed him on a 3 year deal which makes me want to scream! Radford moved Litten on for this guy.

Fonua is well past his sell by date, another 3 year deal.

All Cas had to do is stick us in the corner. We were never going to go the length of the field tonight. So slow and we dont have anyone on the bench to change the momentum of a game.

Agree with other posters Reynolds. He seems to have that galvanising effect. His energy and effort rubs off on other players and he is a good talker. He leaves a massive hole when he isn't in the team. He genuinely cares for the team, I'm bloody gutted about his injury. He hasn't been Kelly, but has done a good job this year and we miss him

I really want McNamara to succeed, but he just doesn't seem to have 'it'. he's only 19, hopefully he can grow into the role, but I'm really unsure about him.

AP has invested in the top 17 but nothing below that. We need some spark from 9 and some decent quality squad players. I can't see him stumping up though

I agree, Pearson and Clark have painted themselves into a corner with the contracts they've handed out over the last few years. This is the consequence. It looks like more of same for a least another season.

Just got back and it looked like a throwback performance to a couple of years ago.
Think the unbalanced recruitment / retention of previous seasons is catching up with us. Also the fact we’ve flogged Taylor and Houghton to death has now caught up with us. Plus big money on Mahe when he wasn’t needed.
AP has paid top dollar, and he’s been left with a side lacking in pace and invention. Gutted for him.
Johnstone is not up to standard, and we’re crying out for a Parcell type number nine.


Don’t envy BH sorting it out.

If Carlos is fit, I'd put him at 6. He was our 6 on that famous day in 2016.

Fair play to the 8K that turned out on a Thursday night. And on Sky.

Said earlier in the season that Taylor only played eleven games last season and missed most of this and i thought we have seen the best of him.
Flabby,slow, no power.If he had been an opposition front row we would have been saying what a waste of space.

If he’s not fit, he shouldn’t be anywhere near the team. Jack Brown offers more at the moment. Looked to be really struggling to make any metres today.

Like Houghton he’s been flogged to death in previous years.

A really disappointing flat performance, and the curse of our home form bites yet again, only Manu and Ligi looked dangerous, even Big Chris and Andre looked poor.

Come back Scotty Taylor where have you gone, I’m yet to see any of Brett Hodgson influence on this team, it’s worrying once more we fail to deliver any real threat, in a game which was so important we failed miserably to an average Cas team. In truth we never looked like winning,

Thaler also had a shocking game, not using that as an excuse, all Cas had to do was work it wide, and that was us done. I’ve said it before, big pitch, slow team, bring back Ratu.

It looks like the dynasty of Tag Mint Bowden, Sneyd and Mahe is creaking like a giant tanker hitting an ice berg, almost ready to sink, and yet still afloat, just.

The big worry of course is our younger players are not really up to it, Macca, Scott, Johnstone, Brown are not pulling any trees up,

Perhaps the effort in a gruelling Derby took its toll on both Hull teams tonight,

8000 for a Thursday televised game was an outstanding effort from the Hull supporters, who didn’t deserve that rubbish,
Nice to see Keith Rhino Boxall enjoying his moment,

Thought Mint was one of our better performer's. Taylor was awful. As in deed where most of Hull. Rovers where reported as very poor as well. Makes you wonder if the Derby took a bit more juice out of both teams. Still a very poor display. Gotta win on Monday.
