Powell got a knock within a couple of minutes on the pitch and wasn't the same after.

Was at the game, not as terrible as being made out to be, frustrating sure but we absolutely bossed Hull, made them look very ordinary and they looked completely out of ideas very quickly. Again it was just not converting or delivering decent crosses, we know our strikers don't have a cutting edge. That was a game we'd previously definitely have conceded a stupid goal and lost. We were completely in control for the entire game, but were ultimately toothless. With Pearson and Tuanzebe, we will be stronger at the back and in the middle, and we will be better.

Šarkić was MOM but I thought some of this distribution was awful.

Some booing at the final whistle! what was that all about? It was the feeling around after watching that dross. Powell back healing his attempt on goal. Which I think was the only attempt the whole game. How many times did the ball come from the back to the halfway line and end up back with the keeper. I guess we can say the ref was terrible as every aerial duel he blew for a fowl.

Yes we are lacking quality in the final third but that was an OK performance.

Who decided the MOM? His mum? I thought he's been poor in both matches to date. Obviously he can't kick the ball, but he pushes out at weak shots anyone (certainly an average keeper such as Bonham) would gobble up. I hope he improves soon.

Powell was trying to emulate Tezgel's backheel goal but it didn't come off. Crap game today but a valuable point because only 1 team of the 5 below us closed the gap by 2 points. Two teams lost so we gained a point on them and the other two teams below us made up no ground on our tally. The next two game are the important ones and if we can take maximum points from them then it's been a good 3 games. Even a win and a draw will not be too bad. That will be 5 points out of 9 in the 3 games to put us on 38, leaving us to take 12 points from our last 14 games. That's 3 wins, 3 draws, and 8 defeats. If we can't do that then we bloody well deserve to go down. OS.

How many saves did their goalkeeper have to make? They made 3 second half substitutions that completely changed their attacking threat at a time when we sat with fingers crossed fearing the worst. We huffed and puffed for the first 25 minutes, with a bit of luck we could have sneaked a goal. After that we were dreadful, again. The ability to complete a simple pass, complete basic ball control, provide a “real” threat bar one excellent Smallbone cross was non existent It was poor, AGAIN

Did you watch the same game v Hull because what you describe is not what I saw, we probably had more of the play but they should of scored, missing the easiest chance created by either side, plus our keeper did have to make two other saves, possibly a fair result given our possession but chances wise we were lucky.

I only followed the game by looking at live stats and moving arrows on a green pitch at the Bet365 website. Going by that alone, Hull seemed to have been the slightly better team. Just now in the middle of the night here, I also watched the extended highlights from the game at the official scfc website. And well, Hull were absolutely the better team and it should have been 0-1 or even 0-2. Much quicker movement the closer they got to the opponent's goal. I have backed A Neil the whole season, as I do with every manager, letting them have time basically. But now I'm in doubt. Why? Because he thought we were the slightly better team. As soon as they've begun to reason like that and can't face the obvious, I know they've lost it.

For about 5 minutes. We were camped in their half for the last 25 minutes. A team on a hot streak and we controlled the game with a depleted team. Decent point

I agree with most of this. I thought Hull weathered the storm for the first 20 minutes then they controlled the game for the remaining of the first half. 2nd half it was all us. Laurent & Hoever put 2 quality balls into their box, A crouch like player would have have been on the end of them & imo I feel that’s what we’re lacking upfront. As you stated it really wasn’t that bad. Hull are in the form of their lives & I would have taken a draw before the game given the form of the two teams. Nothing drops for us & hasn't all season which is so frustrating. As for the boo’s - I personally thought they were towards the ref.

If I didn't know better I'd have thought I had stumbled across 32 blokes on a pub outing having a kickabout in a field after their coach had broken down while they waited for the replacement coach to arrive. I feel most sorry for whoever has to try and edit a 10 minutes highlight package out of that. I'll gladly take the clean sheet and a point and maybe a book on Wednesday.

First 25 minutes, I counted 6 position's, mostly edge of the box on our right side, gilt edged positions to put telling crosses in, none came to fruition, most teams would have made at least one pay dividends.

Yeah, not the biggest mistake, but it looked like Tezgel was in the box (at ~14m) and he could have passed it to him? He didn't have much time to think though.

The back heel was has pathetic as it looked in a game where 3 points were very important to provide a cushion on the bottom teams.
