Hull City loose to Colchester United and are out of the FA Cup!

It was a bit of a interesting weekend for me and it was also a bitterly cold, windswept and showery afternoon at the KC Stadium. Unfortunately, the Tigers failed to deliver any warmth - either by result or performance. They simply failed to compete effectively with a well-organised, well motivated and well-supported Colchester United side.

City's FA Third Round Cup exit was disappointing - even allowing for their heavily depleted line-up through injury and suspension. From what I saw I think Peter Taylor should rethink the whole of the tigers backup squad as it is clear to me that if it wasn't for the likes of Ian Ashbee, Stuart Elliot and Nick Barmby the tigers would not be in the position they are at the top of league 1.

The only player on the pitch who deserved his place in the FA Cup squad was Boaz Myhill, as he made some good saves in the game, and the scoreline could maybe have been worse, but as they say that is football! However, I must say that this is the first bad result the tigers have had for a while and on a brighter note they are still at the top of league 1, which Peter Taylor thinks is more important than the FA Cup!

On another note it has been pretty windy lately as someone in the next street lost their chimney stack last night!
