I was at the game on tuesday night and was frankly appauled by Hull's midfield performance meyler seems to find it difficult to stay on his fight and win headers against people 5 inches smaller than him. Quinn had one of his worst games for city to date with virtually zero creativity. Cory evans the usual mr consistent in the midfield mistimed quite allot of Challenges. Elmo However on the Right still posed a threat. 9 times out of 10 he will get the ball in and that means he creates opportunities.
In terms of Derbys performance they kept possesion well with Connor Sammon controlling the aerial Battles and using all his strength however they still created little even with a little bit of jammie rebounds to assist them in hitting the bar.
Hull's Defence did not give their best performance although Paul Mcshane showed spirit and desire worthy of his man of the match title.
Now to the man of the hour Gedo. the scorer of city's goal and egyptian mastermind supposedly and he did show signs of this brilliance he kept the ball well and showed a good first touch and the goal actually was better than i first thought he headed from behind the defender in a controlled manner which was impressive.
Stockdale could be said to be at fault for derby's equaliser but unlike jakupovic i would put this down to a lack of matches. with time he can be dominant in the air.
So Final thoughts a good result is all that matters really but some more desire and creativity needs to be instilled possibly with some squad rotation to increase pressure on some players who appeared complacent during the game.
