A Hull of a Time - Match Thread 22:17 - Aug 29 with 36653 viewsEmpireStateRanger

Spirits are high after Watford... we usually know what follows after.

Have to control their striker, who has scored five in the last two games!

But I think we're going to start showing some consistency. No clean sheet just yet, but I foresee a 2-1 win. Dykes and Dozzell.

Brilliant performance. Cant fault any of the starting 11. All the usual stand outs, but my word our full backs look good. Ethan Laird is the best RB i can remember us having since Walker (showing my age but we've had a lot of crap in the last 10 years) and Paal is looking so good defensively and another assist for him today.

The Glasgow Rangers lot did tell us watch out for those full backs - lovely stuff

That first half was one of the most complete football performances I've seen in a long time.

Everyone, to a player, was outstanding.

Second-half, the foot came off the gas, but we were still very much in control.

A real team performance, although special praise to:

Chair - simply excellent. Today, he was the heart and soul of everything great about that performance.

Paal - if it wasn't for Chair, he would be my MOTM. His best game I've seen. Everything was spot on. And he looks much more comfortable staying wide and bombing on, compared to being asked to tuck in, as he was earlier on.

Laird - my admiration for him grows. As said elsewhere, perhaps our best, most impactful RB since Walker's loan. But it's not just his composure on the ball and athleticism that stands out, he's a very positionally-smart player. He was constantly talking to and guiding Dozzell where to move (particularly getting him to tuck in, when Laird bombed forward). All-round superb.

Dozzell - one of his best in a Rangers' shirt that I've seen. I thought he was excellent tonight. Worked for the team, and gelled excellently with Laird.

This felt like a statement performance tonight. I'm excited to see how we progress from here.

The Dykes miss - gets his feet wrong and takes an extra touch allowing the keeper to close him down, forcing him to go far post. Better feet, earlier shot inside the near post and that's a goal.

Poll: QPR to finish 7th or Brentford to drop out of the top 6?

Just watched it about 10 times in slow motion. I would not like to put my mortgage on it either way. What definitely made it look more offside than it was, as people have said Dunne runs forward late and their fella takes off at speed so the time the pass is up in the air and on its way to him he looks miles off.

Not sure which way it would have gone with VAR because it was mighty close.


It's irrelevant where the Hull player is when the pass is already in the air. It's about his position at the precise moment the pass is played. It is tight but for me he's on.

Given the absence of VAR the old adage persists for the officials; if you're not sure then you don't give it.

It went in our favour on Saturday when there was only 1 goal in it so I'm happy for things to even themselves out when we're 3 goals ahead!

He's 4 yards out and it's on a platter. Don't over think it; hit it first time and the keeper has no chance.

Yes, of course it is from the rule perspective, but I meant that at the time, and from my perspective up the back of the SAR stand, watching the player kicking the ball and then straight after spotting the runner, by then he was so far beyond Dunne he did look "miles" off and everyone in F Block was screaming it was "miles offside" and it was a joke.

I think even VAR would have given it onside it was so tight. I think if you watch Dunne running back and the way he put his hands to his head, he realised he had caused that.

Still, 2 great results in 4 happy days.

Poll: With no leg room, knees killing me, do I just go now or stay for the 2nd half o?

That was one hell of a performance!

The shape, movement and energy were all spot on. We look a very capable side. My only concern is that we do have it in us to switch off occasionally. Not sure if their goal was offside, but they caught us off guard.

Chair was a machine tonight.

I’m really pleased and don’t want to get too carried away. We will lose games and be frustrating, but must not forget how good we can be!

Not the most insightful comment I know, but I’m really buzzing!

OK, I get what you're saying now. Watching it from SAR you need eyes like this fella to spot an offside, especially if your view is restricted.

All night buzz after that.


Poll: Dykes - love him or hate him?
