ExiledGeordie Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I'm glad I missed this. I enjoyed being back at St James and had a great seat bang middle of the Gallowgate but it was the same old shit like last season really. I was very disappointed coming out the ground but having seen similar shite like Reading last season you almost get used to it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

samag Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 It's been said before but Pardew opinions aside, we need to change our coaching set up. I wouldn't be bothered to see Carver or Stone go, we need some fresh ideas. A defensive specialist would be ideal, but at this point anything that freshens up the coaching set up would be welcomed IMO Agree 100% with this...

Beren Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Pardew's comments on .com have a heavy emphasis on keeping it tight. I suspect the mentality of trying to protect rather than extend the lead had a bearing too? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 He clearly says that the team dropped their level after the goal and he comments on complacency. The tight comments are based around us being very poor when we had to defend, which we will have to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 "We started really, really well and got the goal, which is not something we do often at home, get an early goal, and everything looked happy. "We weren’t tight enough as a team today. We were really tight at Villa with the same formation but we were loose today, and Hull exploited those spaces. "I thought all three goals were poor from us - as I say, we defended really, really well in these last few weeks. "Today, it’s the inconsistency of performance that this team is searching for. The team that finished fifth, you see similarities with this team, but that team had a consistency about its performance, as a team, not as individuals. "The formation was the same today, the set-up was the same but we looked not the same. We looked too loose, and gifted goals and you can’t do that against any opposition. "I’ll be the first to pay tribute to Hull, they played very well. But for us, it’s a really disappointing day. It’s the commitment and the quality that you need in every game, that we showed at Villa. "Today, it’s not just the looseness of the team but the distance between our units and our selection of passing wasn’t as great as it has been in the last two or three games. "We weren’t as solid as we were at Villa, and you’ve got to do it home and away in this division.” "We had a day at the office that we would like to forget quite quickly, and move on.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 He didn't mention Villa, the bastion of a good performance, enough. You'd really think we'd gone to Old Trafford and pumped them 4-0 wouldn't you? A fucking standard away win at Aston Villa for God's sake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 "We started really, really well and got the goal, which is not something we do often at home, get an early goal, and everything looked happy." Isn't that part of the problem? I didn't see the game live but everything I read and heard suggested we started really well and just ran out of impetus and ideas. Under Pardew we simply don't dominate teams from start to finish when the opportunity is there, we've seen this time and time again over the years. He keeps claiming that an attacking side is what he wants to put out, and to play 'on the front foot' (remember that?). And yet too frequently his selections, formations, tactics and his team's response to going ahead early all show the complete opposite. As a simple example, we've scored more than three goals in a league match four times since he's been here, and three of those were in his first season with Hughton's team. That's once in the last 88 matches, despite all the attacking talent at his disposal. Does that sound like the record of a club that goes out to attack?

TRon Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 "We had a day at the office that we would like to forget quite quickly, and move on.” Yes it was just a bad day at the office Alan. Apart from the 4-0 pounding at City and the whole of last season, we've defended like a rock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may not have been there yesterday but I can guarantee you've seen very similar games over the last couple of years. Same old story, same bloke in the dugout unable to do anything to get the initiative back once his team had surrendered it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Not only that but he actively made it worse IMO by switching to a piss poor 4-4-2 which meant we had fewer options in midfield and allowed Huddlestone a 10 yard buffer in which to dictate the game.

alexf Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Don't forget Harper would have given Hull an in-depth scouting report on all of our players. May have had an effect.
