Went to the game, Hull should have scored 2 in the first five minutes.
Gunn : Played well and kept us in it but did dropped two shots of but only one caused danger which he dealt with. Without him this would have been a cricket score.
Reed : Taking him off was a mistake as we lost shape when he went off, was unspectacular but didn't do anything wrong as far as I remember.
Hanely : Cleaned up messes more than once but a couple of times made his own by giving the ball away in some dangerous places.
Klose : Lost his man often, played teammates into trouble and had a terrible game.
Lewis : Looked petrified, didn't look like he wanted the ball and looked afraid of the physicality of the ball. For their first pen could easily have dealt with the ball over the top but failed to, only to get the wrong side and concede the penalty. They targeted him and Klose and it worked. (don't get me wrong I like Lewis and think he has a future but this was a bad game)
Leitner : Was ok before going off wasn't afraid to put his foot in bit like Reed didn't standout one way or another.
Tettey : Did ok can't think of him doing much wrong off the top of my head, won the ball back often and can't remember him giving it away much.
Hernandez : Only player to actually be direct and try beat a player other than Maddison, should have scored to put us in front but looked stuck between whether to pass or shoot so did neither and flicked it away.
Maddison : Without him we would be stuffed. Is the real driving force in our team and clearly better than anyone on the pitch.
Watkins : Isn't quick, isn't strong, technically average and doesn't seem to read the game very well. I would have taken him off instead of Hernandez.
Olivera : What the hell has happened to him? Doesn't seem to want to pass instead dribbles into dead ends and loses the ball. Shoots from anywhere but in a way that looks like he doesn't believe he will score and I don't think I saw him properly challenge for a header let alone win one. Would have taken him off for Srbeny. He is so static and fails to make runs even if it is to drag the defender to make space for others.
subs :
Pinto : Didn't have much to do down the right, more than once had loads of space to run into but no one played the ball to him.
Murphy : Never looked like he knew what he wanted to do or that he could beat his man.
Wes : Jinxed, turned and had no options. Probably not what we needed out there at the time.
We didn't have enough movement and just refused to cross the ball in and always tried to play our way in from the middle even if the option was there for a cross. I can only think of 1 non set piece cross and had someone made a near post run we would have equalised.
Also no idea what was going on with a normally solid defence. I would like to see Zimmermann come in for Klose or perhaps give Raggett a go. Olivera needs dropping for a couple of weeks also as he has been so poor. It's not like we will miss out on much.
