Continually gets put into good positions, but achieves absolutely nothing. Not sure what the benefit of this guy is at all.

By the way Graham Potter was in the Cottage today. Was this to see his Swedish players or the owner putting a bit of pressure on Arbeloa

Whitestone

Bobb was immense today, particularly in the first half when I had the benefit of seeing him up close when we were attacking the Hammy End. Hull couldn't handle him or King.

@jolslover

First half Bobb and King looked quality, linked up very well

He may be a lovely young man but frankly he's a dud!

No goals and very little if any positive outcomes from his play.

Not true at all, he caused Hull so many problems first half. Tidy player.

Tidy is the right word - but does nothing - no good crosses,  no shots on goal, doesn't dribble past his opponents - nothing!

I'm sure you will agree that the basic aim of a game of football is to score more goals than the opponents.
Obviously the game has become far more nuonced these days, but when has Bobb done more than given his opponents a bit of a problem and actually contributed to winning games since he arrived?

He did that today.

He's a bloody weird play. Fantastic in the build up, and essential to us creating chances and dominating matches but my god he can't finish his dinner. Reminds me of Sone Aluko.

I think he's very tidy, constant threat an unbelievable touch puts fear into defenders

He dribbles past opponents all the time, does this consistently.

The team played well, very well. How about looking at the positives.

Your opinion on Bobb is valid because it's your opinion, doesn't mean it's factual (as your post seems to imply), it's just your opinion, a wrong one but hey, you're looking at a game we played very well in, deserved the win, kept a clean sheet, looked like a cohesive unit and certainly playing for the manager.

Yet you find a negative.

Well done.

perhaps you went for a cup of tea and missed his good shot on goal.   He played very very well.  Hull couldn't handle him.

I like Bobb, he gets a bad press. He's going to be a top player. He's only 23 years old and this will be his first full season playing week in week out - worth keeping in mind.

I watched every game last season, and have done this season so far. The Bobb from this season is far more effective than last year. Since the World Cup & the change of tactics at Fulham, he seems to have gained confidence, he got a couple of goals in the last international break if I remember correctly?
He's tricky outside the box, has good feet, and very good in close spaces with his 1-2's.
I'm happy with Bobb, can he do more? Of course, and I think he will. I'm more concerned about Garcia, ESR, Kevin & Angel

I like him too, and he's clearly a talented player but I don't think he gets a bad press. He currently has no goals and assists for us after 21 games in the league. His build up play is brilliant and there's a lot of quality but we do need some end product too. He's spurned many chances you expect to see put away at this level.

Confidence is a strange beast in football.
I'll take the three points, hope we get three more against Cov & I believe we will then see our teams full potential.
