Hull City Vs Brighton & Hove Albion ***Official Match Thread***

[Luke93]

That was very skilful of Crofts who purposely hit the bar to avoid any speculation that Brighton were not trying to win.

 

[neilbard]

I was actually hoping for a good cup run, damn it.

 

[Two Professors]

I pity the poor Hull supporters who had to put up with that.18 shots,9 corners,1 goal.At least our keeper kept warm-Hull's must have froze to death!Onwards & upwards,hopefully

 

[Dick Head]

Well, that was riveting.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

So near, yet so far. Apart from the 'so near' bit

 

[doogie004]

And out we go lacklustre effort

 

[fleet]

If ever there was a match I was content to see the Albion lose it was this match.

A handful of Albion careers effectively came to a close today, I fancy.

I think that will be the case - a few will move on this window, others in the summer

 

[Dave the OAP]

Lets be honest - we wanted to go out and we have

Why did we want to go out...we need some momentum...this was crap!

 

[Bwian]

Jesus, get a grip. Completely different formation and a squad that have never played together before, I think 1-0 isn't too bad.

Does having no shots on target not ring any alarm bells with you?

Or only one shot so far?

 

[Official Old Man]

WE'RE OUT, HOLIDAY TIME.
At last, I can book my 12 day USA trip starting 24th Jan.

 

[WATFORD zero]

No more Injuries, suspensions or goals, give LuaLua and Baldock 20 mins and it won't have been a bad day.

Mission accomplished

The magic of the cup

A really pathetic Cup 'run'. Seemed not interested right from the time the draw was made. When I was a lad, going out of the cup was a real big thing, now nobody seems to care. I know we want the league, but still not good to go out with a whimper.

Normally, I agree. The way our luck has gone this year, it'd probably result in even more injuries.

....Nahki Nahki wells.....woooohooooo. Last minute


Up for t'Cup!

 

[The Rivet]

Well, that was riveting.

I had nothing to do with it!

 

[jimhigham]

Nope. Not going to worry a jot about this one. Just for once we don't need the cup this year and we really don't need a replay. Happy to take the dive which our starting lineup suggested.

No worries. Baldock back. KLL back. New signings entering the fray. A goal would be nice but I'll reserve fretting about that for when it matters.

My Albion mojo remains unusually high.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Anything but a draw was ultimately good for us. Shame we couldnt put up more of a fight but what can you expect with Manu, Chicksen and Holla starting..

 

[nwgull]

Have we come through unscathed then? I take it that the players will be staying up north. Well done to the faithful fans that made the trip!
