Hull City 2 - Queens Park Rangers 2

In the first half we were composed, passing the ball well and got a good goal just before half time! Five minutes into the second half Billy Paynter scores his first goal for the club and we are all happy this was going to prove a turning point for "The Tigers", not us though.

We sat back on the lead they got a goal back, ok lets not panic and get the win! Barmby went off injured (hope he is ok!) They score again and the writing is on the wall, Hull City have blown a lead and get a draw.

While a corner is played at one end, Myhill runs to near the bench and said a few cross words! Next minute he handles outside the area and is sent off. The rest of the game potters on and it ends 2-2, before the game this would have been a good result but 50 min into the game you do not want anything less than a victory really!

What is wrong with the tigers, the contrast was astounding! To self destruct like that is not good at all! People who keep saying "be positive" fair comment but how can you be positive from that performance (incedently I was not there just listening live). There is a problem somewhere that needs to be sorted sooner rather than later.

I would have settled for a point at the start but then expected 3 and then lucky to get one! At this rate with Barmby out and Myhill out for 3 we will be lucky to be able to put 16 players out for the squad. Anyway a much better performance for an hour and then we hung on (how many times have I said that this season). A pity about Barmby and Myhill (man of the match even though he got sent off) - our two best players overall - still Duke sounded as though he did OK when he came on!
