Re: Hull City AFC vs Ipswich Town Preview & Matchday Thread
Marko can’t tell you HOW MUCH BETTER that display by Town was tonight .... in fact two games on the trot now.
Played on the front foot
Got the ball forward early
Played the game in opponents half
Norwood returning to fitness makes a massive difference.
Solid in defence
Miles Kenlock looking like the player I skyways hoped he would be
Midfield look very effective first half - Downes who?
I reckon Lambert will make lots of changes for Doncaster now - shame if he does !

I actually wondered how this team couldn't beat Northampton while watching tonight. Thought, "Wow, Northampton must be SOLID in defence!"Steve and Jo wrote: ↑Tue Feb 23, 2021 10:11 pmCannot compare the game against Northampton to this one
Chalk and Cheese, two totally different teams and tonight, that team looked to me as playing for Ipswich. They wanted it and showed unity
Well most of the players did anyway

Re: Hull City AFC vs Ipswich Town Preview & Matchday Thread
I really hope he doesn't. Bennetts aside, they all deserve their place v Doncaster. Even Parrott after glimpses in the second half. He has vision. Might be shyte at finishing but he could provide a vital pass for Norwood. Probably open to debate that one.hallamblue wrote: ↑Tue Feb 23, 2021 10:15 pmI reckon Lambert will make lots of changes for Doncaster now - shame if he does !

Parrott has the game, he's a kid and needs to fine tune a few things but he makes things happen and I think he'll be a player

Norwood and Parrott seem to compliment each other don’t they. And I wouldn’t change the team other than Bennett’s either marko.

Re: Hull City AFC vs Ipswich Town Preview & Matchday Thread
Yep got that outcome rightTotally agree Andy Norwood allows us to play the long ball and creates enough havoc for us to get the second ball. Very effective. Was even more so against Oxford
Unfortunately can be easily countered by setting up to be ready for the second ball. We got fewer tonight than playing Oxfotd. They had done their homework. Great defense for us. Dozzell very good.. Onwards and upwards

Re: Hull City AFC vs Ipswich Town Preview & Matchday Thread
Yep, after seeing him second half, made me think he was trying too hard first half. Maybe the Champions League winner had a word at half time and maybe said, just bring it down a few, look up etc etc......, there were easily 4 very good passes he saw and made second half but for decent Hull defending or Norwood / Judge not being on the same page. I'd be keeping him in the team for Donny. See what happens.

Re: Hull City AFC vs Ipswich Town Preview & Matchday Thread
Yes, 9. Guilty of overlooking that.
Although I can't remember Holy having to make a save. Hull were THAT bad. Tomas did let the ball slip out his hands first half, no danger about, but pounced on it quite dramatically. I thought the Golden Globe was going to be awarded.

Re: Hull City AFC vs Ipswich Town Preview & Matchday Thread
Didn't expect to win not only that we managed to shut them out from scoring. Only got score a moment ago, saw five pages of replies and thought a big loss had occurred, Lambert fired at last. No it were just a regular game and we got a victory. League table shows two wins and we can reach the top six. Its the hope that does you in. Been a number of dropped points recently against poor opposition, would be damn irritating if those lost chances mean missing out by end of season. Being a realist you got to believe that ship sailed some time back.
Hull were poor ? Too what extent, only just getting in information. All said it were a surprise victory one that I believe we've left too late in the season but another issue being this will buy Lambert more time. You can argue that's a negative from today but for now just savoring a rare victory.

Re: Hull City AFC vs Ipswich Town Preview & Matchday Thread
There's got to be a F******g conspiracy here, we playing out our socks, This has all the hall marks of a takeover of our club, Lambert pushing for excellent results, he's trying to f*****G impress someone of the new owners, it has to be this as the players playing well except Bennetts.
Nope you don't F*****g fool me Lambert you cunning little sh*t, your up to no good, you know what information is waiting at the meeting with Mr Evans, otherwise why have we suddenly shocked all the fans with this result, well push all you like Lambo we still want you out FACT

Re: Hull City AFC vs Ipswich Town Preview & Matchday Thread
Thing is we have only played 28 games. Maybe late in the season as in last week of February, but still have 18 games to go
Not saying we will get in the playoffs, got to believe we can though and so have the players and coaching staff

Re: Hull City AFC vs Ipswich Town Preview & Matchday Thread
As I said pre match Hull had struggled to score in a few games recently and I thought 0-0 would be a good result for us, never did I dream of 0-1 win. By all accounts we’ve played well and with a string of demanding fixtures coming up it couldn’t have been better timed. Not sure it will help us see the back of Paul Lambert but it may help Marcus Evans sell a few season tickets.

The conspiracy would need to involve a non existent Hull City midfield, Ashford.
Seriously though......, you gotta give credit where its due.

Re: Hull City AFC vs Ipswich Town Preview & Matchday Thread
Who knows what goes on behind closed doors, we know there’s been a recent clear the air meeting between Evans and Lambert, maybe the owner has finally told him it’s improve or out and put him on borrowed time rather than keep supporting him. Certainly something has happened to change his demeanour.

No idea, Hallam but I really don't see him on the touchline ever....., tonight he was being very encouraging. Maybe news of a takeover and a big pay-off and knowing he's getting out, BUT it is still speculation.hallamblue wrote: ↑Tue Feb 23, 2021 11:22 pmMy question marko is WHY has there been such a marked change in Lamberts demeanour?
Maybe its just something as simple as he's been able to finally visit the Champions League medal shiner uper-er shop.

Re: Hull City AFC vs Ipswich Town Preview & Matchday Thread
Great result and by all accounts a great performance too. Hull fans must be going through a difficult time right now, they might be in 3rd but 31 games played - they are likely to sink in the coming weeks.
We have a score to settle with Doncaaster and what better time......

Re: Hull City AFC vs Ipswich Town Preview & Matchday Thread
Yes, that was miles better than we normally play. Hull have been stumbling of late and are not at their best. So I’m sure we’ve hit them at a good time, but it was a very good performance. As Andy says, Norwood makes a difference - he makes long, speculative balls stick or harries the defenders into make half-clearances which we can run onto. In the past, we’ve struggled to find any space in the final third with too much slow possession. And Kenlock has been a revelation since he’s returned - uses the ball very well. Wilson and Toto look solid. Just a lot more energy throughout the team.marko69 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 23, 2021 10:15 pmAndym wrote: ↑Tue Feb 23, 2021 10:05 pmI think part of it is Norwood.

Re: Hull City AFC vs Ipswich Town Preview & Matchday Thread
Doncaster are currently 16th in last 6 games form table and Accrington 18th. While we are in 10th. Let's hope that is reflected in next two results...
Hull are in 20th by the way.
