GTFIIIIIIIIIIII Top day, lost my voice but who gives a shit
COYB
I must say 1SG the fans came across really loudly on the stream I watched. What a great away win but very stressful at times second half. Gally should have scored to make things easier. Impress with Adam Wharton, Morton and Sammy who was tireless in the middle.
This amazing run without draws continues.

I thought it was a game of two halves, we looked quite puffed at 70 mins but seemed to have just enough to keep going. Delighted as always to win, gutted about the sucker punch from the dingledome but there time will come. For now we have 4 wins on the bounce under a new manager with a really bright young core which just makes me so proud to watch us. Adam Wharton is a player, he is going to the top. Morton looks like he's developing very nicely and again will be a top draw player one day.

We seem to look more deadly from set pieces which is a relief for me, we've some good height these days too. I thought BBD ran himself into the ground today, are chille in the WC? I 'd be a bit worried he comes back broken. Our attacking play seems to be getting better in the final third too, plenty of zip about us now.

Kaminski 7 - Not allot to do, I don't think Hull had a shot on target. Not sure what happened with Estupnian?
Travis 6 - Poor at RB in the first half, kept drifting in centrally and leaving us exposed but he was non-stop today all over the park, he's developed a nice back of being in the right place and clearing for us in and around our box.
Hyam 7 - Misjudged the ball once aerially in the first half and easily cleaned up after. Is there a better signing this summer in the league?
S. Wharton 6 - Decent without ever really being too noticeable, Booked.
Pickering 7 - What a ball in the first half from the wide left that was, thought he did well today.
Morton 7 - Just so quick, composed and clever with the ball at his feet, seems to love to play his way out of trouble too.
A. Wharton 7 - An assist although if he had a right foot he'd have had a goal to very early on.
Schmozza 8 - My motm today, scorer and and just about every bit of grass touched. Almost teed another up in the second half by refusing to give up on that ball.
Dolan 5 - Looked poor, slow, and didn't seem to always pick out the best options.
Gallagher 6 - Non stop workhorse today, got a few along with BBD nasty tackles on him but should have scored.
BBD 6 - As per Gally ran his balls off all day, great drive in the second half, great tracking back too this game to help Pickering.

Subs
Ayala 7 - Solid as a rock, he made a great challenge in the six yard box.
Carter 6 - Looks allot better since his loan from Pompey.
Dack 6 - Hurried and harried and we needed that in the last 20 mins or so. Not allot attacking wise from him but he's a leader on the pitch and that showed with his communication and organising.
Vale 7 - Brilliant cameo from this man, again for the second game running some really smart decision making gaining free kicks/throw ins under pressure and some lovely footwork.

JDT 7 - Got the subs spot on today, maybe he made a few changes knowing we've a game Tuesday to keep people fresher?

Ref 5.5/6 - The ref missed some shocking challenges, I think Seri made a few which on another day gets a yellow. Too much stoping and starting which suited rovers in the second half but at times I felt he was guessing at some of the throw in decisions over who's throw.

I absolutely love the fact that his biggest concern about the Coventry fixture is the fans. The guy is a breath of fresh air.
Me too. Wonderful human.

Strange how Wolves went for Beale who turned them down, I genuinely fear we could lose JDT to a PL struggler.

He has to SG because that is precisely what Szmodic and Dolan do. JDT will surely have made that plain to all of them.

I'd agree with all of that Dunn. I think you have got yourself a job! I might sack BB and move over to doing the away preview.... I'd like to add a bit of surrealism and off the wall humour. 🤔:eek: :laughing:

Have to say that I was metaphorically purring in my seat at the performances of Adam Wharton and tyler Morton in midfield yesterday! They are both so promising and so composed, are there two more gifted midfielders in this entire division? It appears to me that they 'think' a yard in front of most of their opposition. OK so they both have 'L' plates on and need to learn when (and where) to play the beautiful game and when to be more pragmatic and simply sticking their foot through the ball but with a minder or two growling in the middle behind them like Trav they should get better and better. Yesterday with us just one goal up one or two of our kids were taking too many unnecessary risks imo.

Speaking of trav.... he isn't a right full back is he? He commits and snaps into tackles (as midfielders need to do) when he should be 'standing' wingers up and making them pass backwards. If they want him to play emergency right back the coaching staff should play him regularly at RB in practice sessions with Ayala coaching him positionally from alongside and a defensive coach on the touchline. I believe his problem is that he isn't quick enough to play full back and thinks committing himself by trying to nick the ball away is his best option when it isn't. He exposes the defence by allowing too many wingers to pass him.

100% Drog. I think with the emergence of Wharton and Garrett and the massive improvement in Morton's game, the central midfield has gone from an area of concern to maybe our strongest part of the team. That said I think we're also blessed at Centre Back as well. You're right, I don't really like Travis as a full back and this is maybe somewhere we should look to strengthen in January. It seems like when any of the full backs are out we have to re jig loads of other areas for cover and that's not ideal.

Having said that you couldn't fault Trav for effort yeaterday and with players like Hedges and Brittain to return I think our squad is looking quite a bit stronger than was apparent at the start of the season.

Not just the weight of it but he feinted and disguised it marvellously. The best accolade I could employ is to describe it as 'Tugayesqe' ...... and that is twice now that I have compared his passing to the maestro!

Looks like this site is being watched by rival fans. Shame the poster didn’t know that Susan Boyle is from the other Blackburn though! BB take a bow for the review that upset them 7EDF08D9-6F4C-412E-8856-C6EACABF0B1B.png

🤣 🤌 he's probably hurting inside after their pathetic showing on Saturday with no shots on target. However DMD needs to google 'humour' ...... but only after he's looked up subo in wiki and then consulted google earth. He claims to be a moderator which would fit perfectly if Hull City have a BRFCS equivalent.
