I'm looking forward to this more and more, can't wait!

Set up to be a great match with great atmosphere.

I'm the opposite, I'm more and more worried about this game now.

If we lose I won't be on here, can't be doing with all the Rovers fans gloating



Hull by 8

Think the boys will be up for it but just feel missing too many players

One thing I aint is worried. I'm nervous, like I always am in derby week, but not worried. We have injuries, but also have a strong starting 13 and subs which are fully fit, enthusiastic and will do a good job. We also have confidence and a strong will to see games out, which we haven't had in a long time

3 of our 4 first choice props missing will define this game IMO. rovers have a big pack and I doubt we'll hold them for 80 minutes.

I'm more confident now then I was yesterday in a daft way . Need to start well and take the game to them and try and dent them getting any confidence as they won't have much after the way there playing .

Siege mentality setting in?

Big pack that miss tackles for fun. Just seen their stats, shocking

What's the opposite of a timely boost, with you mentioning Briscoe on the rovers board?

It [uwould[/u be a timely boost if he were fit, given that he was playing alongside the physio for most of the Bradford game.



I spend too much time on there. Sandercock's attitudus miserableus has started to rub off. I did Latin A level you know which comes in handy for swear filter avoidance purposes

Yes possibly , also don't like it when we go into these games to confident and looking like we can't lose . It's actually not a bad team considering the amount of players missing .

But let's all remember that only one team will be running out with a game plan produced by a proper coach. What a change from the old days. Meanwhile Sandycock will be practising his speech for the after match interview (cue ref, crowd, grass is too green etc.)

Come on you ULL.

Wade is out!!

Might not be a bad thing strangely, it means Ellis has to play and his kicking game might be vital. Also Pitts will definately play.

Horne
Sharp
Turner
Yeaman
Briscoe
Ellis
Seymour
Lynch
Houghton
Radford
Manu
Tickle
Aspinwall

Bowden
Pitts
Whiting
Kent/Nicklas

Ah, nice of you to come and chat on here, you finished stalking cookie?

He started it

I was honest with him.

He's daft, opened the floodgates for every FC fan with a grudge. He's full of S h I t anyway

He's one of the few people I would happily pi[is[/is on if he wasn't on fire

Bit different now, hopefully Yeaman and Mckinnon are fit, I would play our best team, target the points against Rovers.

Mckinnon/Horne

Still a pretty strong team and pack IMO.

Wade not playing, might not make Monday either.

Although a big blow, having Ellis at HB, might really help us if the Forwards are struggling though.

Not surprised at this groin strains are not 1 weekers normally. Ellis' kicking game more important than ever for me in this game and Horne was excellent last week so better McKinnon gets right.

I agree, hopefully his passing will be a bit steadier this week as his confidence grows.

To be honest, with the amount of injuries we have, i thought we'd be getting a thumping. But look at that team makes me feel a bit more optimistic! Still a pretty strong squad capable of toppling the dobbins.

The good thing about your pack is the 4 players who can do the full 80 minutes, most coaches would give there right arm for that.

Don't know if anybody already posted but James Smailes reported Sharp did not train yesterday but should be OK for Friday.
