Hull City’s Liam Rosenior reflects on West Brom equaliser
Liam Rosenior tells Hull City to keep learning as they maintain Championship play-off push
It was far from the most thrilling game of the Championship season, even with Hull hitting the woodwork once and their visitors twice, but a real test tactically for coach Rosenior and his young side.
They were punished for sloppiness when Tyler Morton’s over-ambitious pass conceded a long throw-in which ultimately ended with Darnell Furlong finding too much space to head in at a corner
And they could have been so again when Regan Slater’s laxity gave Adam Reach a chance he hit against a post.
But there was plenty of good too, led by Fabio Carvalho’s brilliant goal to open the scoring from a well-worked short corner.
And with no other goals after Jed Wallace hit the crossbar and Jaden Philogene a post, the point was a good one if Hull heed their warnings.
“I thought we put ourselves in a great position against a really organised, well-structured team,” said Rosenior.
These games against fellow top-six rivals come down to such fine margins.
“It’s a new group, we got seven players in in January, young players, it’s a great experience for them to learn what it takes in terms of concentration in vital moments.
“If we take those lessons on board I think we’re in a really good place.
“Once we got control of the game in our way Fabio scores a great goal and I think that period between Fabio’s goal and their goal we’re in complete control and on top of the game.
