Totally agree - it’s unique and it’s ours!

Just over two months now. We still have these huge holes in our hearts but it is slowly getting better. We recently had a painting of him commissioned which is now sat in our living room. That helped. love your pets - we don’t deserve them!

Welcome to the forum @HecMacTod

The Buried Giant - my favourite Ishiguro book by some way!

Not sure about any players but I believe Steve Bruce was very keen to become our new manager when Darren Wassall was at the helm. Hull were above us in the table at the time but Bruce was keen to get out of Hull and applied for the position.

Of course he's retired, he's 139 years old!

I have been pleasantly surprised considering the first three games. I think there's been a clear improvement in playing-style, we are attacking on the front foot and the backline is looking more settled. The arrival of Zetterstrom, and the improving form of Cashin, has certainly helped this. I am concerned about the goal contributions more generally across the front-line (address in January hopefully) and how a few crucial injuries might impact us, but is there a fan of a Championship club who doesn't share this concern to some extent? Probably not. Overall my confidence in Warne has gotten stronger and I feel much more confident that we will stay up! 🐏

Got it right again today - and once again we are playing much nicer football. Feels like we are slowly getting there. Big credit to Warne for that. Also I’d like to know the specific members of staff who identified Goudmijn and Zetterstrom so I can send them a bottle of wine 🍷

They’ve just given him a new contract 😅

That Harness finish. Wow!

Big second half. We’ve looked the better team here. Time to make the most of that. COYR! 🐏

Hope you feel better soon!

I've just finished Haruki Murakami's memoir, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running. Perhaps I'm just biased but I thought it was fantastic. I really enjoyed how honest it was and how genuine it felt. There's a frankness to his writing that really appeals to me. It's even inspired me to try and get out and start hitting the road again. Well worth a read if you like reading about the minds of writers and what makes them tick (and run).

I'm much more confident that we will stay up after watching the last three games, than I was after watching the first three. One of my main worries about Warne is that he can't/couldn't get us playing better football. I was concerned that we would go into this season playing the same way we did last season. I felt this was looking even more likely after the first three games. But since the Bristol City game I actually think we've been steadily improving game on game. Even last night, I thought we looked as good as them, if not better, for the first 25 minutes. My only really concerns regarding how we're playing at the moment is around what we do with the ball. Why is the passing so poor? Why do our players thump the ball so hard at each other? I just think we're making it harder for ourselves than it needs to be at times. Perhaps trying to play too quickly because we don't think we've got the quality to keep the ball. If we can get a bit lucky with injuries and find a way to get the balance right up top, I think we'll stay up. Credit to Warne for improving the team.

Very disappointing second half considering how bright we looked in the first 25 minutes.
