"F off home and shag your dog" was the taunt towards Huddersfield fans, just slightly less offensive than " kiko casilla" which a few fans tried, without success, to get going.As for kilos replacement, Meslier, we still have no idea if he is any good- last game he had no saves to make but made more passes than any Hull player, yesterday I recall 2 shots at him, one nearly went through his legs but he managed to trap it between them , later a shot bounced just in front of him but he stopped it, so , so far so good, and he does look composed and confident This was a game that was basically over in the first 5 minutes - a good bit of play, then a great cross by Harrison and the finish by Ayling was astonishing and unbelievable, I didn't know he had it in him, as he volleyed it thigh high into the net, a brilliant start, and from then on I never felt hudds had anything to worry us We totally controlled the game for the rest of the half without really working the keeper. Harrison had a great shot, after another flowing move, but it just flashed by the post, and we nearly got one of our breathtaking break away goals but the final ball by Costa was just a bit too much in front if Bamford At half time I said I would prefer a 2 0 with Bamford scoring rather than 4 nil without him getting one ( unfortunately for once the footballing gods paid heed) and within 5mins of the second half the contest was good as over. Ben White, who had a header just wide in the first half, met a free kick by Harrison and the keeper did well to get a hand to it, but it fell to Bamford and he fired home from a yard out. His celebrations, those of the crowd and those of his team mates, showed how pleased for him everyone was, and what a relief for him. Hopefully he will go on one his scoring runs now We saw out the rest of the game with no scares and the only question was 'would we score more?' Well we came mightily close, Roberts on for a cameo (as was Shackleton) led another quick breakaway but again the final ball was just too close to the keeper. Harrison who was so unlucky with his rasping shot v Hull that hit the woodwork, almost bettered it as a jinking run past 4 or 5 defenders led to him turning back on himself and firing in a shot that beat the keeper but came back off the post At times their goal was under siege at other times we just kept the ball and toyed with them as we were a class above With Forest now out of the picture and Fulham dropping 2 points at lunchtime all eyes turned to west brom and their failure to win meant we are top the league, I say we are top the league So another great day all round and now 7 pts between us and 3rd with only 9 to go, and 5 wins in 5 all with a clean sheet. Whilst I am taking it one game at a time, it could be all but over in 10 days if we beat Cardiff ( we owe them for the 3 0 to 3 3 game which started our blip) and then beat Fulham which would put us at least 10 clear of them Another 3 pts and put , I was going to say 'noisy neighbours ' as they say round thses parts but they were silent yesterday, so our silent neighbours back in their box (? kennel) On and on Dave
