its not a downer, he tries his best but most people think hes just a decent squad player, as for turgut and masi, I don't know but I would like to see them given a chance,

I've been very negative today about Thompson, but didn't do a lot wrong tonight, thought other where worst than him tonight, including Watts, who somehow got MOTM!!!

the first half that I managed to watch, Thompson was playing pretty decent, some good tackles, didn't do much if anything wrong. Couldn't get to see the second half but considering how poor others were just in the first half alone and it's him copping the flak.

We need a big Frank Pritchard type player,weather you loved him or loathed him he certainly made his presence felt.

guess we all see things different, what is for sure we have to up our attack,

He was nothing more than average for us, its Willie Manu that this club is still missing, could change a game with one of his rampaging runs. We have some very good forwards at the club, but we lack a bit of spark.

Well said.

Exactly what I thought.

Can't believe the amount of negativity on here for the 2nd game of the season.

Really? The usual moths to a defeat flame appearing. Good post by Saddened! An independent view of the quality and lack of nous on display tonight.

Take your point but just 2 competitive wins since Wembley, maybe somewhat to blame also.

Mini had a good game? His worst in a hull shirt by loads for me
Manu n carlos hulls best by lots for me

Steady on...Your mobs playing oldham this Sunday. A revenge match at that. Don't worry about what the big misters are upto

Connor will end up taking the place of Naughton this season as a reserve.
Trying to use him as a bench player week after week wont work.
There will have to be a shake up of our bench next week as Watts will get a ban and Ellis probably doubtful.
Dont know whats happened to Fash as he seemed to be the next prop in line but Masi looks to have taken over as the no 1 reserve prop so he may get a game next week along with Turgut.

Connor will be miles more than that...A proper player that lad
Terrible evening for him....like many. Bad 1st half then got pretty lively for a while2nd. Just a bad day at the office for him
But the way he presents the ball for those around him the positions he gets into
I loved how a couple of times he made errors and came back with a good play or hit. Defo mentally tough. The attemptied 40.20 was absolutely the wrong play at that time. But you had to have massive balls to go for it then. I like that in a player. Bad day yesterday but he'll be an asset and a good player for us

A very frustrating game and a poor performance. Shades of the bad points of last season with ill discipline and an over reliance on Sneyd and Ellis. Losing Ellis knocked us off our stride and we had no spark in attack.

Early days and lets remember we lost two of our first three home games last season.

On that display last night and your pre season games, your so called big misters might cop for a revenge come August.
