Into the Black Country
By: Matt | September 19th, 2007
A penalty from perma-fake tanned Dean Windass gave the Tigers a victory at Molineux, as Hull escaped with a 1-0 win over Wolves on Champions League night.
While most of the country focused on the glitter of Europe’s ‘Premier Club Competition’ (unless you live in West London), Phil Brown’s men went into their midweek clash playing a 4-5-1, with Jay Jay Okocha in his first start supporting Caleb Folan.
Folan, who setup David Livermore for Hull’s late equaliser against Stoke on the weekend, was forced off in the first half due to injury, allowing Deano the chance to come on and seal it.
Although Folan and Pedersen could become quite the pair, especially with Okocha and Bryan Hughes in support, I must say that the pairing of Eastwood and Keogh can be downright scary.
The golden locked Irishman has speed to burn, and Wolves certainly must be savoring the connection formed so far with his Gypsy-partner.
So a first away win for the Tigers was a tremendous result, and now everyone can look forward Saturday’s match with Wednesday, and Chelsea over the horizon in a fortnight.
Stoke
Hull also drew this past Saturday, 1-1 with Stoke. Zzzzzzzz. The only good thing out of this game was the fact that I fondly recalled John ‘The Beast’ Parkin’s wonder goal against his current team during the ‘05-’06 season.
Think Peter Crouch’s absurd Cruyff turn-and finish against Arsenal, but better. And fatter.
