Ackers Lisone Goudemand Edgell

That's how I think he will go with it.

Id personally take Roberts out of the firing line and put Edgell on the wing

Leaving ackers on the bench just seems so negative to me.

I'd personally leave frawley out of the country.

Agreed on both counts

I think O'Connor is one of our only players who provides energy in D. Bentley does to an extent, although can have his discipline issues, and is obviously out for a while too.

By my reckoning we have won 6 of our last 16 home games , so a win is key for a lot of reasons.

I would also leave Roberts out but replace him with someone else other than Edgell , who is not a winger in any way shape or form. Maybe Ned McCormack.

Any news yet on Holroyd? I’m a bit concerned he may have become the latest player looking to be offski.

I think we will win but it won't be pretty or confidence building.

I think we'll lose

I think the confidence of everyone involved is shot to pieces, they'll score early on the crowd will be on their backs and we'll stay in the game but lose, I don't think the crowd/Social Media vitriol has helped either but that's just my opinion

Blimey Chris, I had this down as a win, an ugly unconvincing win, but a win. You're my barometer of positivity on here. Agree about the vitriol, it's dreadful. I'm all for constructive criticism, but what I've witnessed over the last few away games is appalling

I’m not on social media so it passes me by all the twitter and Facebook stuff. I remember the other year when Philip Schofield was in a bit of bother , part of his defence was he followed 11,500 people on twitter. I think it would take me 2 years to think of 11,500 people never mind get informed that Stephen Fry has had salad for his lunch or Danny Buderus has bought new underpants.

But the shirt does weigh heavily on poor and average players.

Hope we get the win we need it.

I think im just trying to be realistic about the result, Cas seem on an upward trend and we just seem shot of confidence.

I really hope they prove me wrong and come out all guns blazing.

Comments on Social media do not have any bearing on a coach being out of his depth , with clueless tactics , who has now lost the dressing room - please get a reality check.

What does this post even mean? Social media (sadly) is now prevelant across society, especially the age of our current playing group. You can bet your life they look, and it must have an impact. Hopefully they disregard some of the idiotic vitriol and focus on delivering a performance. God knows we need one.

So its all down to social media that we are crap , what a load of rubbish . The social media criticism comes because we are crap , it is not the cause of it

Why does everything have to be so binary? I didn’t say the vitriol was the cause of our current performances, I said the vitriol on the stands and SM IMO doesn’t help. Huddersfield giants supporters group put s good post on Facebook which is worth a read. Players are human and abuse will affect them. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_ ... 1386044179

The squad for this game is relatively strong. Anything other than a comprehensive win and a respectable score would be a complete disaster. I am tired of lame excuses for this seasons debacle. It’s time some of the team put in a decent performance, especially Newman.

I don’t think the social media stuff put us in the hole but I’m pretty sure it can make it harder to climb out of it.

i do not agree with the abuse , but it comes from poor performances , a lack of effort , bad coaching and a delusional hierarchy . Sometimes people think that nothing is going to change without voicing their disapproval , unfortunately there will always be idiots that go too far .

Agree it`s about time Prince Harry started to show his worth and with that squad named we should win this by plenty.
A narrow win or dread to think of it a loss is a disaster imo and shows the players have lost faith with the coach.

Nothing to do with the first team as a whole being not that good just people on social media having an opinion.

Again that isn’t what I said.

That's clearly not what Chris said. The SM stuff, and the vitriol at the games, is much, much more than people having an opinion. Players and coaching staff are human. It's bound to have an effect on them. Oh, and you don't need to "like" your own posts. It's taken as read that you agree with yourself.

The people who are responding and ranting obviously don't take the time to read them. It says a lot more about them than it does you.
