Wow…bad mistake from Burrows

Gifting them an easy chance to score.

Their player hit it hard and low and thankfully Cooper spread himself pulling off a great save. Wow another great save from Cooper.

It’s turning into a basketball match with both teams having good chances.

Might quell some of the anti Cooper nonsense that has been creeping in

 

[Not so Slim ane]

Brewster has to put more effort in, he's making it far to easy for the Watford centre backs, Ohare running his bollocks of and Brewster is sauntering about FFS

 

[paidsy]

Not sure on multiple, but we have the better part of our starting 11 out now. Feel like it’s not been this bad since the championship season under Hecky

I mean today alone we are down JRS, Moore, Campbell & Arblaster. There's something we are doing that's clearly not right.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Burrows having a mare

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

Burrows getting ripped a new one

 

[Blademan89]

Burrows having a stinker today, I'd take him off if we have anyone that can play lw.

 

[Thrice]

Larouci. Barely recognise him with that haircut.

 

[cornerstone]

Yeess !!

And Souter n Souza n now Hamer

 

[WestYorksBlade]

And Souter n Souza n now Hamer

The injuries are never minor as well, always some bullshit that puts them out 5/6 weeks if not more. I’m just venting now haha

 

[paidsy]

And Souter n Souza n now Hamer

No idea how I forgot Souza. But yeah, not a good look when lined up is it.

Wouldn't be against rnd on for him.

You're right though,CW says things like he took a little nick so we'll take a look, then he's out for 6 games.

 

[Northernsoulblade]

Peck avin a crackin game

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

See Hull gave up...3-1 to the dirties

 

[Blademan89]

Wouldn't be against rnd on for him.

Never mind lol. 3 at back with looks of it then.

There’s been no anti Cooper nonsense.

It’s just wind up merchants, young kids seeking attention and Wednesday fans on social media.

Best to ignore it because guess what.

Even after today….in fact Cooper could end up being player of the season and there’ll still be comments saying he’s crap and should be in league 1…..it’s jealousy.

 

[Keen Blade]

Because his right peg is non existent

Not his fault - manager must know this but puts him on the R wing

 

[Iceybabey]

Hopefully Nozza coming on sures up that left side. Burrows has been ragged.

 

[WestYorksBlade]

You're right though,CW says things like he took a little nick so we'll take a look, then he's out for 6 games.

I don’t understand how Wilder is so chronically misinformed on injuries. Are the physios scared of giving him bad news or something ffs

 

[robbiez666]

Burrows looks cooked. Not sure why he's still on the pitch.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Finally a good piece of refereeing. Peck great challenge in the box...no penalty

 

[HarryHaslam]

Peck avin a crackin game

Been class today

 

[Rufus Smalls]

Davies has been very good today.

 

[Keen Blade]

That goal was really, really terrible defending, individually and as a team in every way. More angering to watch than the comedy show that was Sunderland and the individual errors.

I do think that we are only a good/clever striker with their feet away from having a very goal forward line. No point playing a target man type with how we play - we need someone to feed off of their clever movement and interplay, not bring it down to lay them off.

This is what's wrong with the way CW has recruited our attacking four - target man does not fit with other three - this is why Campbell got all those goals when he came in , looked a much better attack than with lone target man Moore

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Davies and Peck have battled hard. Not too creative but have dug in deep and giving it all

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Great away support...

 

[Sheffsteel]

I don’t understand how Wilder is so chronically misinformed on injuries. Are the physios scared of giving him bad news or something ffs

He’s not misinformed. He doesn’t want to give the opposition any advantage.

Also to be fair many of our players might to 70 to 90% fit.

If Vini Souza is 70% fit do you play him for 60 mins then sub him off? There’s a chance his injury might flare up again.

Probably best to wait until he’s at least 90% fit then ease him back.

Regards the match we’re doing alot of defending but don’t look our usual composed selves. Watford have some quick players and we don’t like pace.

 

[BangorBlade]

Hull 3 - 3 Leeds

 

[Not so Slim ane]

Been class today

Mom for me, the effort considering all the games he has played has been unbelievable
