After about 3 minutes, we nervously passed it around the back which ended up with Long shanking it into touch - they lost the crowd then and didn’t get them back

the crowd reminded me of the last 6-8 games of Zola’s reign

On that point, I only caught the second half of the game on the telly, but did seem odd almost forced this passing around the back. Great for Hull, who were then able to force the press. Felt like "boss, boss, look - I'm passing the ball across the back like you asked me too" - felt like we were playing in treacle.

Still, takes time, in Wayne we trust.

Interesting after the game he said he didn’t like the passing between each other at the back and felt nobody was taking responsibility. I remember bringing this up as a concern when Rooney came in and was told “we’ve been passing it around the back all season” but there’s a massive difference between passing around the back and playing out from the back which the manager expects us to do
