Play nice now boys!
Ian Walsh made another good point, one which baffles me hasn't been put right. Mc Bernie needs to be in the box when a ball from the flanks comes in. He's playing more a 10 position waiting for the ball to come out to him but that leaves no one in there to poach the goal. Routledge or Celina would be better in that position should it get cleared to the edge of the area.
Now this isn't rocket science so why don't they do it? [Post edited 29 Dec 2018 18:08]

Because our manager hasn't got a Scoobie. |  |

Mulder - no command of his penalty area ... is this a coaching problem because it has been a common feature for a few seasons
Back 3
MVDH - excellent but din't stand a chance in the first half. Along with Routledge the only layer in the first half who looked like a he gave f***.
CVC - showed how high he can't jump ... very weak first half a little better in the second. His unnecessary clearance led to he penalty.
Harris - out of his depth as a CB alongside another inexperienced CB and no full back
2 Full backs / wing backs
James - several good runs and a couple of decent crosses. Disappointing final ball and weak in defensive duties.
Routledge - a few decent attacks, some good crossing, as a defender he to in the way and challenged (never a penalty). Along with Hoorn the only layer in the first half who looked like a he gave f***.
Naughton - steadied the defensive ship in the second half not least by being in back 4
Montero - caused havoc when he came on and when he had the ball ... until Byrne came on.
Midfield
Fulton - was he on the pitch
Grimes - noticed him when he went to full back
Celina - apparently he played in both halves., improved in the second
Routledge - central midfield in the second half, once again got in the way, challenged and got the ball moving quickly
Attack
CBR - we desperately need a striker in January
McBurnie - we desperately need a striker in January
Routledge - didn't have much impact in his stint at central forward attacker but kept defenders guessing and pushed the line forward.
Bony - didn't get into the game but did give defenders something to think about.
A word on corners ... or back passes as we should refer to most of them. When Hoorn took a step back to make space to attack the ball we scored via an own goal caused by the pressure and by Hoorn getting to the ball - simple and effective.
Officials were a disgrace (the Ref has form) a lino giving an off-side from a throw, waiting for the ref to indicate a throw and corners, hand ball ignored on 4 occasions, lack of cards for some bad fouls and ones that stopped clear routes to goal, At least two Wigan players should have gone for 2 yellow another with Mike Van Der Hoorn for handbags.
Lucky to get a point today ... I hope Potter has learned a lesson. |  |

We messed up a big chance to stay in touching distance.
Hull look a good outfit, surprised they struggled early on. |
I honestly believe there's no intention to go straight back up. As bonkers f*cking mental as it seems. The Americans have lost interest . |  |

Potter, the Americans and board all said at the time Potter was appointed this would be a project to return to playing the 'Swansea way' and not a quick fix. | |

Bet Hull supporters hoping that Bowen doesn’t get sold during the window! |  | | |

He gave the Leeds fans some sh*t when he scored yesterday, got the feeling he wasn’t keen on them, but money talks I suppose. |  | | |

Why would that stop Everton making their approach? |  | | |

I’ve only seen Leeds are after him.
Very good player though, him and Grosicki were unfortunately levels above against us. | | | |

Watching the game back. 15 minutes in.
McBurnie's the biggest square peg in the system. He's playing in the right channel but can't contribute at all. Whole team drifts to that side to compensate and close spaces and so we end up with Dan James trying to make tackles alongside Grimes in central midfield.
Fulton doesn't even qualify as a peg apart from a very late shoulder charge that could have been a booking. | | | |

Their Naismith knows he's no footballer after that second half.
Gripping stuff even on second viewing. | | | |

Have to agree - we looked more balanced when Rutledge went to CF and McBurnie went somewhere else. | |
