Hull city against sheffield wednesday on saturday night was a dissappointment for all. sheffield wednesday were definitely the better team on the night and physically outplayed a weary looking hull team.
The officials definitely had a poor game with a lack of control over the game. On Sheffield wednesdays first goal Llera was almost certainly interfering with play only missing the ball by inches and obscuring the goalies view and therefore offside should have been declared.
However this does not detract form the clear passion applied by the sheffield wednesday players, aswell as the tactical decision to push two wingers high on brady and el-mahamoudy which left the two wing backs all at sea.
I couldn't of faulted Bruces 3-5-2 layout due to its previous success but similar to Peterborough on the day it just didn't work. There should have been a change made to push back wednesdays widemen. Possibly with a 3-4-3 formation being applied. The lack of this change was our downfall there was no outlet for the midfield who looked dissinterested and continually lost the ball.
Looking at the wider picture this game is probably just a blip but i do think a bit of investment in the physical department of hulls game is needed a yaya toure or steven nzonzi like character (obviously with a lower price tag). Aswell i would look at a possible swap deal or simpson with again a more physical presence. When he does come up with the goods he is one of the best finishers in the division, however this doesnt happen very often he seems to lack the penetration which is needed for hull. Bothroyd or Beckford would be the kind of player where looking for. Someone who can hold up the ball aswell as score goals.
