LCFCJohn Posted 24 September 2023 Share Posted 24 September 2023 Hull are a good side. Of all the sides we have played, they are the one with the most names that jump off the team sheet as being familiar. But not old has beens either. Players like Connolly and Greaves to name a couple. That’s from someone who hasn’t just ignored this league for the last few years either! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all well and good to talk about Southampton being fine when they can Martin, but who knows if they'd do it in time to save their chances.

Ric Flair Posted 24 September 2023 Share Posted 24 September 2023 Liam Rosenior is proving to be a decent manager so far. Sets his teams up to be very difficult to beat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see Rosenior, McKenna and Schumacher in particular having decent careers. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many are having a squirt over the prospect of romping the Championship. Well, even if we do, watching us try to break down firmly parked buses in ¾ of our remaining home games may wear thin in a hurry. Granted, it’s great fun going into games confident and seeing that confidence rewarded. It’s normal to enjoy most other clubs’ fans seeing us as a free hit, expecting to lose to what is now a much bigger club. But there’s also much to be said for watching quality football. And for owning the contracts of your players rather than having to sell them at knock down prices and replace them with loans, developing others’ rather than your own. I personally want out, and I want to get back to “boring” midtable stability testing ourselves against the world’s best talent. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impressed with Hull, they’re a decent side, like you say set up properly and are difficult to beat and carry a threat. Stoke are absolutely rancid, like peering into the bowl of a services toilet, puddles of piss, few brown smears on the wall and a couple of nuggets that wont flush. Horrible football team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solid and unspectacular is often enough to get out this league. Second bit, you can can have a really slow start to the season and still smash this league with so many games. They probably can’t afford to keep him longer than mid-November, but the longer the keep him the more it’ll be like us when Rodgers went where we were beyond repair.

Basically they weren’t that good when he joined but got then promoted. Then he left as they wanted to go in a different direction in terms of style and approach but it’s gone wrong since then really . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimJams Posted 24 September 2023 Share Posted 24 September 2023 Also Rodgers undoubtedly had an ego but he had won something and got two high placed finishes. Wtf has Martin done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are very dismissive of how well we are doing because of our financial situation in relation to most of the league. However, Stoke in 2018 prove that spending doesn't guarantee success. Chelsea at the moment are a more high profile example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Fox Posted 24 September 2023 Share Posted 24 September 2023 Love that we have an 8 point gap now, hopefully we can pull away from the 3rd spot sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They rode their luck vs us but I've seen a lot of their highlights this season and they're definitely a side that's going to get better. Connolly wouldn't look out of place if he was still at Brighton, good movement & still relatively young. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
