Views from hulloutpost following last nights 2-1 defeat away at Milton Keynes in Sky Bet League One: “Desperately bad luck lads. That reminded me so much of Tranmere away last year, except we were miles better. DC will be annoyed at the goals conceded and frustrated we didn’t convert our chances but we got the rub at Rotherham, MK got the rub tonight. Lovely football and so much to take from the game. Upwards and onwards – really positive for this season.”

Rasenimp: “I guess we rode our luck in games like Rotherham where we had two shots. Tonight was just unbelievable that we didn’t score a second equaliser, and they got a bit of a fluke that probably should have been flagged off.”
Sincilbanks: “Just got back, reckon if we had equalised we would have gone on to win it. Played by far the better football, missed 2 golden chances while they stuck theirs away. But..
Results. End. Of.
2 sloppy goals to give away offside or not, poor defending for both. We don’t have a right to clean sheets you have to earn them, every week.”
WellingtonImp: “There is plenty to feel positive about, despite tonight’s defeat. But we need to defend from the 1st minute, not have a warning up period. We still seem to be missing a nippy striker to cut across a defender and get a shot in, not just hold the ball up. Perhaps Walker fills the role over time but there still seems to be that gap there. We had 26 shots tonight – scoring one. Even with MKD defending very well, our conversion rate needs to be better. We shall play worse during the season and win.”
sedgleyimp: “So my initial thoughts on tonight before reading the thread is that the result was disappointing but the performance was pretty good. We will play a lot worse this season and win. Still, it’s all about putting the ball in the net and tonight we lacked that clinical edge which would have otherwise won the game.
I’ve often applauded our defenders throwing themselves at the ball making blocks and credit to MK tonight that their flat back 10 were doing exactly the same in the second half.
One of them nights unfortunately but we’ll go again on Saturday and beyond.”
