A better performance than the table and the starting line up suggests.

Decent performance but still don't look like scoring. Should have had a couple of tap-ins but no one there to finish it.

We've had 11 shots with one on target according to the beeb stats.

Good half. We’ve had no strike force worth the name all season, and the 3 he’s picked today are no different.

Got to disagree with Denis Smith.
The problem isn't our finishing, it's actually the poor quality of balls we're putting into the box.
We've been the better team for sure but we've seriously got improve the chances we are creating.

We were clearly the better side in that half. Theyve offered nothing.

I think that we’ve been the better side… their game plan looks like hit us on the break & win set pieces up the pitch.
Another side full of diving cheating fannies though.
McNally & Rose both on a yellow worries me & I would probably bring Willmott on at ht before one of them get sent off & cost us the game.
Leris & Mmaee have looked sharp but I’d personally take Cundle off for baker or Campbell.

I'd take 0-0 tbf, even after that first half.

Poor finishing is going to cost us,Hull will most likely score with their 1st real attempt.

Shit ref. That was handball. No chance, it was fired at him from 5 yards away It doesn’t matter these days. If that’s premier league and VAR It’s a penalty all day long. His arm is by his side and sticking out a bit which stops the ball going through. That’s why all these players put the their arms behind their backs in those circumstances. I don’t agree with it by the way but that’s just how it is at the moment.

Happy with that first half but we lack the finish. Been the same all season so nothing we don't already know. No reason at all why we can't win this second half if we keep pressing as we have this first half. Only thing that worries me is I can see a sending off second half, possibly Laurent so let's hope he keeps his cool.

Much better than Norwich but decent crosses into the 6 yard and nobody getting on the end of them.
However bearing in mind the respective league positions I think we have more than matched them.

Good first half where we’ve competed well
+ Leris has been excellent + Competed really well + Limited them as a threat + Mmaes held the ball up well
- 3 bookings - Don’t look like scoring for all the posession. Our attackers never seem to be in the right place - Look vulnerable to the break
As often seems to be the case officials seem to be giving the opposition most of the 50/50 decisions. I can see him licking his lips at getting us down to 10. It’s not helped that they make the most out of any fouls making out they’re badly injured.

I hope Schumacher encourages the forwards to close down their keeper and defenders when they're in posession.
They're absolutely wedded to playing out from the back and are seemingly prepared to take some daft chances to maintain that philosophy.
Could definitely be a mistake in them with the right type of pressure.

Very decent performance, clearly motivated, don't really look like scoring though. My worry is Hull can't be as bad second half. Great balls across goal by Leris and M'waee. I fancy Million to get at Giles second half if he comes on.. There are definitely 3 points there with a bit of luck.

Got to say mmaee looks a different player And leris definitely brings something to the team

Decent performance so far. Being optimistic, we've currently been the better team and still have our two most creative players to come off the bench. Being pessimistic, we've not got close to scoring despite being the better team, and at some point Hull will wake up and improve.
I'd make a couple of subs at HT purely because I think we're walking a tightrope in terms of avoiding a sending off. Laurent for Baker and McNally or Rose for Wilmot would be my changes.
Then unleash Bae and Million on the hour mark if we are still at 0-0.

We haven't been as good as Denis is suggesting, but certainly deserve to be level. They look mediocre but everything seems to drop for them and some lively players up front. Got annoying defeat written all over it, purely because we never, ever, look like bagging a goal, and always have a silly given away goal in us.

Think the ref will be having the final say here. He's just itching to send one of ours off or give them a penalty.
