I would have played Sheehan, but Id have brought him in for Morris and kept with the same formation. Had him and McWilliams screening Jones and Horsefall, with Watson pushing on...
In reality though, would it have made any difference? In reality, Hull's players are considerably better than ours, so all things being even, and they 'turn up'...they will beat us. That said, I'm being defeatist, and I am a bit disappointed that the players/management seemed to treat Hull like they were Man City. Reminded me a bit of when we went to Leeds and lost 3-0 last game of the season, and tamely got relegated...
Anyway, we move on. Whatever we think about Saturdays game, it was always likely to end in defeat. The Bristol Rovers game will set us up for the final push, either way. A win and I reckon our chances of survival rise to 60/40, a defeat and it will be more like 25/75. Its a HUGE game.
Lets just hope that Saturdays park the bus 'experiment' was a one off; I think most of us thought it was the best approach; but clearly it doesn't work with the personnel we have, so when we pitch up at London Road and potentially Sunderland, we'd be potentially better served to take the game to them!
In JB's defence I thought that the second goal was unlucky and the defence played well to keep the score down to 2-0 until the third went in the last minute.
Unless BR play above themselves they are not as good as Hull as a team or individually. If we play like we did against Shrewsbury or Oxxford we have a chance of getting at least a point.
