Pathetic defending yet again, when it comes to defending were light years behind the top sides.

Just the new normal now, innit?

Not even that new, now I come to think about it.

I'm sorry but that first half was woeful, injuries and short turnaround not a good enough excuse. It's basics. Contact in defence awful, too many missed tackles. Goal line defence and structure non existent, they look like they'll score every time they are down there.
We keep booting the ball dead so they don't get a roll on and we can set our defensive line. But our line speed is awful and contact in defence so they make easy metres anyway. Discipline has been terrible, such stupid penalties given away.
And every time we got a chance we knock on or give obstruction away early in the tackle count. Such basic things, it's so frustrating to watch because we're handing it to them on a plate. Fair enough getting beat today no shame in that but a performance like this is pretty shameful. Look like we've turned up already beaten to pull our pants down and take it for 80 minutes then get off home.Attitude and intensity nowhere to be seen and should be a given.

If we stay in SL, the whole interim coach thing and not making loan signings might pay dividends.

Feels a lot like we're treading water though, passively waiting for our fate.

Nice for Wardill to score.

O/T City have taken the lead at Wembley.

Just watched it, find myself not bothered about results anymore, it's just kind of enviable .

That was a poor performance today. Shambolic defence and intensity in the first half. We don't deserve top 8. It was a perfunctory showing. Fulfill the fixture, fly in same day, play like tw*ts, f**k off back home, s*d the fans. Damage limitation before a risky assault on Wakey, only more damage done to some of the players.

The day has had its compensations though. I really loathe football with a mega passion and those sadly misguided enough to pay to follow it. That said, I am happy Hull City beat Sheffield Weds today. My next door neighbour is an absolute shizzledick. Worse still he's a Sheffield Weds supporter, who used to live in Driffield for 20 years.The thought of his lardey booty rocking up back here in Frack Central gloating on how to win at Wembley would have caused me a crisis of confidence for all of 10 seconds. Justice and dignity preserved. Thank you Hull City.

After 10 mins I'd have snapped your hand off for 34-16 gave away to many penalties it seemed like a lets get this game out of the way with as least damage as possible I expect a totally different performance on Thursday and probably a win

watched the 2nd half and gotta say your fans where very good, lots there and didn't stop singing, what I saw of the second half it wasn't a brill match but again you tackled well
