Sixer’s Sevens: Hope rekindled v Hull

John McCormick  writes……..

For the first half hour or so I thought we were in for a bashing. We looked off the pace, and Elmo was showing Patrick how to do it. But the balance shifted, don’t you think, as the game went on. And who do you think was responsible? Was it David Moyes? Well, maybe, but Pete Sixsmith, there to the death, offers another possibility, in seven words, no more, no less:

  1. Victor was immense as was Jordan and Billy Jones had a very good game as well, what he lacks in skill he certainly makes up for in effort.

    N’Dongs passing was abysmal, and Jerome sublime.

    Dare we start hoping!!!!!

    • Funny isn’t it. I too thought Jones had a decent game but a caller on Total Sport thought he was rubbish. Ndong improved as the game went on but he’s no M’Vila.

      Keep that hope in check. Hull are a poor side and for long periods we let them look good. Beat Leicester and I might start to think we have a realistic chance of doing another Houdini act.
