But it is perhaps worth mentioning if Hull continue to play the first 30 minutes like that, they are going to get more severely punished than we managed to do. By the same account , if we continue to play second halfs like that we are going to find ourselves increasingly trying to salvage something from the final 15 minutes. Yes , the defence has question marks hanging over it , yet again. But I think we have the best 4 players in the team that we have available to us. The bigger question for me is why we leave ourselves wide open to a counter attack when we are a goal to the good away from home. This is surely down to team tactics and collective responsibility rather than individual error. |  | | |  |
| Several ways of looking at that result yesterday on 09:31 - Nov 1 | Blue_Heath | Agree, we need a Lukic or Palacios type player at the back i.e. someone with real experience. A lot of things to like about Dara but tbh for where we want to go he's not good enough, ditto Walton. That's no slight on either player before the board police start just they have both reached their ceiling. |  |

I think we need to concentrate in January on that area. If we can upgrade then we should. |  | |  |

Ok...so a big old centre back who, let's say, played a shed load of games in the PL maybe for a club like Fulham? Where could we find a player like that? |  |

| Several ways of looking at that result yesterday on 15:42 - Nov 1 | FrimleyBlue | So far id say Oneils weak point is that opening 20 of the 2nd half He takes far to long to make role changes. Its worked late on hence our goal scoring record late in games.. but we seem to lose control of things after HT team talks. Hull bringing on another midfielder was a sign they were changing things.. yet we carried on playing the same way We needed to slow things down and calm the game not get into a basketball game with them. |  |
