Hull goals and post Match Interview

Hull City


Grant McCann was pleased with both the result and the performance after seeing his Hull City side beat Plymouth Argyle 3-0 at Home Park on Saturday.

Goals from Keane Lewis-Potter, Josh Magennis and Greg Docherty saw the Tigers win for a third successive game and, whilst it was the attacking exploits that grabbed the attention, McCann was pleaded with his team’s all-round display.

“I thought the boys were excellent today,” said McCann.

“Again a surprise has been thrown at us in terms of the opposition’s system. We’ve seen Plymouth play predominantly with a 4-4-2, but once we saw them setting up with three at the back it gave us an opportunity to press high, get our front three against their back three and to get Callum Elder and Lewie Coyle aggressive against their wing-backs.

“I thought we won most of our individual battles all over the pitch and we looked a threat every time we went forward. I’m really pleased with the result and really pleased with the performance.”

It was a dominant performance from the away side against a Plymouth team that, up until this weekend, had the joint-third best home record in the division and McCann knew his team needed to make a bright start which was capped by Lewis-Potter’s eleventh-minute opener.

“We had to be at it from the off,” added McCann.

“Plymouth have shown how good they are at home this season, particularly in the first 45 minutes of home games, so we needed to start on the front foot.

“It was a really good opening goal from us – a great position and pass from Mallik and a great finish from Keane – and we were pleased to come in at half time 1-0 up. Defensively I felt we were good and Plymouth didn’t threaten us too much."

Lowes low and doesn’t have many answers - desire looks like it’s slipping away on and off the pitch. Sad to see.

id save yourself the bother next time we loose tgwu and just find any old press interview ryan has given as they are all the exact same.

if things dont improve performance/results wise next season after hes had backing to bring in new player how much time should he be given before the bullet comes on his time in charge?

He's deluded

Good question Angry, tough call if we’ve wasted cash & time into a new season. Lowes body language is showing his pain but he is paid to get results and can’t keep stating he doesn’t know what to change.

Lowe is completely out of his depth. Floundering.  If Hallett wants fans to return (if circumstances allow) next season he needs to offer hell of a lot more than just a succession of extended losing runs.  Not good enough Hallett.

it is a tough one for me if we have invested in new recruits that Ryan wants and he's still losing games in the same manner i would say by Halloween. What i don't want to see is the board do what they did with del bhey and leave too little too late to act.

Although on paper he has probably done what was expected in keeping us in this league, the maverick style has turned to pure dross at both ends of the pitch. Hope he’s got the fight in him!!

He did and that cant be denied. There again saying that so did Bobby Williamson! he kept us up in our first year promoted with the same amount of points (i think definitely over 50 whatever it was) and in a higher league and look how that played out.

I hope Ryan learns from this season what's gone wrong in our preparations, our tactic and system of play and works on them so we aren't so naïve next season, he brings in the right players and actually has depth in the squad and looks at his coaching staff as its been said to death by me and others already but we really need a coach who can coach defenders as whoever is doing it hasnt got a clue. We dont even need to hire someone full time for that role just bring someone with the right experience and knowledge in once a week to work solely with the defence much like holloway did with gary penrice with the strikers in lieu of his scoting role for us.

Cooper just exposed again so weak on all 3 goals. Watch the highlights and in particular Hulls move right after they scored their first
Just rooted to the spot as the ball fortunately goes wide

Time after time this season. I'm amazed that so many think he's the bees knees albeit reading forums many agree with me as well.

Lowe is blind to this keeper utterly stubborn.

I hope Ryan learns from this season what's gone wrong in our preparations, our tactic and system of play  and works on them so we aren't so naïve next season, he brings in the right players and actually has depth in the squad and looks at his coaching staff as its been said to death by me and others already but we really need a coach who can coach defenders as whoever is doing it hasnt got a clue.

He wont learn Angry or more to the point he cant. His mindset is plan A and thats it
To change everything that he has done before then becomes null and void. I expect him to get poached this summer on the managerial merry go round and go to a club who can fund the players that can actually play his style of football

I've lifted this from Pasoti but it superbly sums up our "star" player.....

Hull could've had at least 12 or 13 if it wasn't for Cooper.

Whilst I was bowled over when he joined us, someone coming in for him 'could' be a blessing in disguise - his interviews of late have have been frustrating for him and us as fans, Hallett must be pulling his hair out. We've reached the 52pts and looks like the club is just going through the motions and dreaming of the beach - not good enough for me, need to see some sort of plan coming together. Sad as 'this' time I thought we got it right but my 50+ years of hope could be heading for the rocks again!!

I said it last summer and I'll say it again now, Hallett is as equally to blame as Lowe is, I don't think we have a budget to compete at this level and I can't see Hallett giving up his train set to someone that can very soon, anyway at least we have a club to support.........

he just stole that from me as its pretty much what i wrote the other day on here.

Twelve months ago MacFazdean was our only specialist Wing back-Edwards Moore and Grant can "fill in" but are not dedicated full backs.

MacF dithered over a new contract and what did Lowe do? Signed a forward and a midfielder, trialled a number of journeymen (why trial anyone if data analytics is the dog's bollocks as Hallett thinks) who weren't anywhere nearly good enough and when MacF finally decided he'd rather not play than return to Home Park, Lowe signs a midfielder and tells him to play at Wing Back!


We need shot of this Manager NOW so his replacement can assess the squad before the close season.

To support? You?  LOL.

and as for not having a budget to compete at this level?  How many 'fookin' times do you (and grovey) need to be told that the budget for the past season was set by the EFL?  If you took a moment to educate yourself rather than just bellowing with rage all the time,  you (and us poor sods who have to read your crap) would be a lot better off.

More lessons on how to support the team from a bloke that lives in America feck off twat.

Typical vulgar xenophobic snorting from a worzel luddite that lives in bumfuck nowhere.


Anyway.. Have you finally got how the budget worked for this season, yet? Or do you still need help?

Not happy watching videos of yesterday.

Trouble is we have an inexperienced manager led by an inexperienced owner, at this level, hopefully they will pull their fingers out in the summer.

...and luckily we have an experienced CEO in Andrew Parkinson (who actually runs the club) and a very experienced director of football in Neil Dewsnip who will oversee things.
