In the aftermath of Hull City’s Carabao Cup loss to Sheffield Wednesday, new manager Tim Walter expressed a mix of calmness and uncertainty over the decisions that led to his team’s two disallowed goals. Despite the frustrating outcome, Walter praised his team’s performance, highlighting their improvement and promising display on the field.

The match saw the Tigers fall behind early and struggle to recover against an altered Wednesday lineup, with debutant Charlie McNeill’s brace securing victory for the Owls. Controversy arose when a goal by loanee Finlay Burns was annulled due to a perceived foul on the opposition goalkeeper, sparking discontent on the Hull bench. Walter refrained from criticizing the decisions, hinting at the contrasting use of VAR in Germany.

Reflecting on the game, Walter acknowledged his team’s mistakes that led to the conceded goals, attributing them to errors rather than opponent superiority. Despite the defeat, he commended his players for their courage, mentality, and determination on the pitch, emphasizing the progress and promising signs displayed by the team.

While disappointed with the result, Walter found solace in Hull’s strong performance and expressed his desire for continuous improvement and success in future matches.
