derek the muppett on humberside.

Quoted from Theimperialcoroner

On the Artus topic, he obviously played today because we wanted to be defensively stronger. He's not a winger, but he did his job as hoped today.

Im with you Artus gets some stick and a lot of the time it isnt of his making he is a fine footballer with a decent range of passing but never in a million years is he a wideman and i would never let him near a set piece either based on todays delivery but for my money he would get either Disley or Niven`s shirt in the centre.

Quoted from lukeo

if we are going to hoof it just play 4-2-4 and hoof the fornicator up to the 4 front men. Me personally think 4-2-3-1 is the new rage and would go for that and try pass the ball on the floor but i'm not the manager.

like the sounds of that 4-2-3-1 get the ball on the deck and pass it. Sod the hoof ball tactics, play to our strengths.

It makes me laugh everyone going on about this hoof ball we supposedly play . It's complete boll.ox ! Watch the game again and make your own judgement instead of jumping on the bandwagon !

I think people are actually getting hoof ball mixed up with lack of technical ability

it is there for all to see, aimlessly lofting the ball forward in the hope that we somehow manage to create a chance. how you can you not spot this. If we aren't playing hoof ball then what game do you think we are playing then?

The first 10 mins I was thinking it was true not having seen them before this season . Once they'd settled we started using the ball better , Niven esp looking good at winning it and giving it simple . The 2nd half we took more of a control of the game having some good counter attacks that we didn't exploit . That was more to do with lack of cutting edge up front , elding being the most wasteful . Not convinced by the cookie monster either .

the thing is mate that a fair few supporters think that winning the ball and a simple pass makes a bad footballer . james hunt was the same but when he left some people realised what he did for the team
