Ryan Giles was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 40. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

The wait goes on for Hull City
8 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

A falling-out at Hull City
Oli McBurnie and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Kostantis Tzolakis falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

A bad afternoon for Hull City against Oxford United
0‑1 to Oxford United, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Hull City lose Emmanuel Sarpong
14 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Mark Palmer faces the questions
“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Mark Palmer after 0‑1, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

The manager makes an example of Yu Hirakawa
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The Hidemasa Morita question follows Hull City around
Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Hidemasa Morita’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.
