CONFIRMED Joe Rothwell signs an 18 month contract

[Lane Ender]

Man of the match for me.

100%

 

[Weasel]

Rothwell will be a very good signing. For next season. Its clear that hes a decent player who needs a much higher level of fitness. Hopefully he will get the necessary fitness by August.

Under this regime? lets not hold our breath!

Much better today after another dodgy first 15-20 minutes. Grew into the game and played well.

It was like a lightbulb went off in his head after 15 minutes. He realised if he kept it simple then he wouldn't give the ball away.

It was same vs Bristol city, terrible 1st hslf but 2nd half be was much better and played well.

Here's to hoping its rust and fitness related by not playing much & next season with a good pre season he hits ground running.

Man of the match for me. Always showed for ball and most of his passes were progressive. A full 90 minutes as well. Let's hope it continues.

MOM today after a rusty first 20 minutes or so he was excellent
I certainly did expect it

Rothwell was MOTM today helped by Hull’s tactics of letting him have all the space and time in the world to pick his passes, rather like Norwood you have press him and not give him time on the ball.

I think Wilder sees him as next season’s Norwood / Coutts player let’s hope he still has the legs for it cos 18 months back he was one of the best players at this level.

Definitely MOM.

McGuinness worth a mention too.

Let’s hope so.

We have still never replaced Norwood, what a player he was and was instrumental in our success from 2018-2023. 2 promotions, 9th place premier league finish, FA Cup Semi final.

I’ll never understand why some fans didn’t appreciate him, one of the best central midfielders I’ve seen us have in 35 years of watching us.

Agreed and he was absolutely pleasure to watch, but ultimately his legs had gone and with him been marked out the game he became ineffective & got strolled passed, he couldnt defend or close down anymore (in the prem) and became a passenger.

That 1st promotion and first season back to prem he was like our very own pirlo.

 

[MadDad38]

Definitely MOM.

McGuinness worth a mention too.

I gave McGuiness a 10 in the player ratings just for getting Lundstram booked

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Yep, MOTM

That was more like it but he's still capable of more

He should play every minute possible for the rest of the season to get properly fit and ready

Then next season he should be an important player

I love it! Classic how he grabbed his foot to make Lundstrum start crying.

Norwood just made us tick. Almost as soon as he first set foot on the pitch with us. We’d been treading water since the Coutts injury. When Norwood joined things made sense again. Wilder chanced across the overlapping full backs idea. He was fortunate to come across Ollie Norwood too. You make your own luck - to Wilder’s credit he found that formation and he signed Norwood - but I can’t help but feel we’ve been missing a similar stroke of inspiration under him.

 

[Rufus Smalls]

A lot better today, tried to get things moving forward in midfield.

So much better having him in the team that that waste of space Lundstram.

 

[John Street West Terrace]

MOTM today .., actually looked the player who’d played well against us on recent times .. after Peck went off who wasn’t at it today .. him & Reidewald got us on the front foot with a bit of tempo

 

[Silent Blade]

Played well yesterday but I keep thinking of Daniel Farke every time Rothwell has the ball as he looks like him from a long distance!

 

[Bell4]

Definitely MOM.

McGuinness worth a mention too.

Agree

We are often very quick to write off players

Daniel Farke

I really really rate that guy

Would be interesting to see how he got on at a Man U / Spurs

Top manager imo

 

[metalblade]

Much better from Rothwell yesterday by far our best midfielder on the day, he was the only one who carried the ball forwards into the Hull half.

Yh thought he was decent and grew into the game - good to see as I was beginning to have my doubts
