I agree it will be close..

Sounds like anyone with a pulse and 4 semi-functioning limbs will be needled up and thrown out there. We're not going to die wondering and we have no one else to bring in who's played at SL level. Bit of siege mentality.

As Mrs. B says, we are not going to die wondering. I think the inspirational PG will really have them up for this one. A difficult call but who knows. Hull by 4 for me (fingers tightly crossed).

Sharps played FB for London before I think, he is catching everything at the moment so I wouldn't be too concerned about putting him back there. Problem is wing is one area we don't have much cover for, normal circumstances Whiting goes into the backs somewhere but he is needed in the pack.

I have not seen much from Lyne so far in his limited chances, be interesting so see who gets brought in should Wade not make it.

Someone put on twitter Mckinnon is out and lyne is playing at FB. Long afternoon ahead

reece plays full back. wades out. crooks making debut too.

Were going to get bummed

Whilst despite the histrionics last week when they claimed they too were not at full strength, Hudds have an immense squad to pick from.

Ah, well.

So we are missing McKinnon, Yeaman, Horne, O'Meley, Westerman, Heremaia, O'Carroll, Aspinwall and Bowden. Sharp and Martin are hardly 100% either.

Should be a nice easy victory then.

Dont think a decision on Martin is been made until tomorrow morning.

don't even wanna go now. we're going to get well and truly bummed.

I'm looking forward to it. Gentle will have the 17 well motivated and they'll give everything they can to cause an upset. You can't ask for more than that, and if we fall short, it won't be due to any failure on the part of the players or coaching staff.

Well said. It's frustrating having so many players out but all we can do is get on with it and hopefully pull off an unlikely win.

I guess it'll be good to see what Crooks offers, and maybe Lyne will realise he's not a fullback

This'll be tough. Seems like it'll be more about attitude and performance rather than the result.

Don't go then!

I too am looking forward to it. Still think it will be closer then people think.

Again, I agree.

Fev showing Cas how it's done.

No expectations tomorrow given the players out. We may as well not play mckinnon if he's not 100% anyway.

I think that the crowd will be behind the team although I don't expect a huge turnout

According to Hulls website only 2500 season ticket holders have purchased tickets for tomorrows game. 25% of total holders. I would imagine a similar percentage at Rovers aswell. Cant see either crowd being massive.

Unless you needed to get your reserved seat then there has been no need to pre-purchase. Hopefully there will be a decent turnout.
