Hull Tigers vs Bristol City

[JJH]

Come on mate I know he was a shit manager but he's been gone for 2 and a half years.

Christ, comparing a man to SoD, the ultimate insult.

O'Donnell should have saved the 3rd and 4th goals.

He had an absolute mare today. Frustrating, but he was completely exposed.

I've always wondered why keepers have looked average when they come here, but they're only as good as what's infront of them and we were awful without the ball today. James, Heaton etc who have done well previous to coming here (and prior, in Heaton's case) but have looked average here. It's frustrating, but I've got a lot of time for O'Donnell, he's shown glimpses.

No, because like I said they're only as good as what's infront of them.

Heaton was decent I agree but he used to get a fair bit of slack and let a few dodgy ones slip, which was understandable given teams were having a dozen shots on target at our net every game.

I didn't like Fielding at all, we had the best defence in the division last season and he was still useless. A lot of fans like him for his character, but if there's anything I've learnt supporting this club in my lifetime it's that if you ask someone for their opinion and they say 'he's a nice guy' or a 'good character' it usually means they're no good on the playing field.

Far from useless. Not perfect but by no means useless, made lots of cracking saves.

He's horrific.

He's barely touching 6 foot for starters, he can't catch, his distribution is pretty awful and he just puts unnecessary pressure on the defenders by his lack of command of his area. O'Donnell is a breath of fresh air in comparison regarding the command of his box, but he's still far from the finished product. In amongst it all though, Fielding makes a few cracking saves, but you can't account for the amount of needless errors he makes for a blinder of a save.

For me he made more cracking saves then he did needless errors last season. That first sentence is true, however he did do well (for his size) with crosses last season.

Bare in mind I only saw home matches last season.

He's a nice guy is Fielding and he seems to be held in high regard in the dressing room, but I'd be seriously worried if RoD got injured next season and we were trying to mount a top half challenge with Frankie in the net.

Heaton was brilliant, that's why he won player of the season.

Made a couple of world class saves in the first half to keep us in it so we'll let him off.

I see your point there. He always seems to falter a bit in the championship (maybe due to increased amount of crosses) .

 

[TomPNE94]

We've had great keepers in the last decade or so. Barring the odd shocker (Jones, Stuckmann (although I still love the guy) and Simonsen) we've done really well for keepers.

Lindegaard, Rudd, Johnstone, Pickford (bae), Lonergan (don't tell SF or he'll hurt me), Nash.

Is that direct? Pretty good if so. They're running trains to the capital for £15 every other Saturday from here, Brentford happens to be one of them so result on that front.

Is that from Temple Meads? I've checked Parkway and can't see anything. What website did you use?

Yeah temple meads mate. Trainline. Search London to Waterloo 16th April open return, departing 8:51am. It's a direct train but goes via Salisbury so takes 3hrs. £15 as mentioned.

Just a note, it's not really an open return as the return is only valid for one train back around 7:00pm (assuming it's the same as it was for Fulham.) Not that it's a problem mind, just something to be aware of.
