We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Coventry and Hull City .
Here are some of your comments:
Coventry fans
Alan: For their goal, the physicality Lampard tries to instill was non existent. Sakamoto tried to win the ball on the edge of their 18-yard line with all the physicality of a 12-year-old. Cant happen if we want any chance of staying in this league.
Gaz: Overall, not terrible, but a little one-dimensional in the final third. For the number of crosses we put in the box, we didn't look like scoring - and Hull, in fairness, looked far more likely as the game went on. With Manchester City away next week we may be waiting a while until the first points on the board.
Neil: Slow play and lacking in top third. New players still to bed in, but we need more improvement. We could be a very exciting team when we can get it together.
Derek: Coventry were too slow going forward. We have spent over £100m and for what? Players that are no better then what we had last season. We have played three games so far and not put in one good performance.
Hull City fans
Chris: Hull's start is a testament to teamwork, preparation and self-belief, NOT expensive individuals, presumption and the arrogance displayed by teams that wrote City off before they kicked a ball. Whether they stay up or go down, no-one should ever say they somehow got in by the back door that doesn't exist or are not worth watching. Well done Hull City - keep it and yourselves up.
Den: Enjoyed the win, even though we weren't the best team, unlike last week. A win's a win. We sat back too much and gave Coventry an easier game than against Manchester United , who we hounded more.
Dominic: Classic Hull performance - strong and solid and playing for the sucker-punch goal. Their ability to see an overall lower total possession as a tool to threaten opponents, who haven't scored and are increasingly frustrated, near the end of the game just shows you how tenacious and robust they are drilled to have the energy to threaten when it matters most. Tougher tests will come but great start.
Gary: Perfect away performance. Controlled and nullified Coventry and then a clinical counter-attack. Clean sheets are so important and we have two from two. Need to remain humble and continue to work hard.
