Has the embargo been lifted? Or is it Acun spinning his usual crap? As for this game, I see us putting out a backup team, with them doing similar, they get a penalty, score it, 1-0 to them!
All a bit sad regarding the FA cup. Round three was always eagerly anticipated and usually drew a decent crowd. Great replays against Blyth Spartans and the subsequent signing of Les Mutrie.
I’d be keeping Joseph up front. We all know he’s going to be dropped for the weekend so give him this couple of games run to see what he can do. Start Palmer behind him, rest Crooks. Change the CBs. Start Ndala and rest Kamara.
As the highest crowd for a final since 2008 has been 89,000 and the lowest 81,000 it seems quite a lot care about. Maybe it is a Hull thing? We took a paltry 1,500 to Old Trafford for a semi-final but the season before Boro took 10,500 there for a quarter final.
Was talking about the EFL Cup. But the interest in Hull for the FA Cup isn’t what it was either. Mind you, they don’t seem that many tickets in Hull for rugby league cup semi finals and finals these days,
Not really, it's not what it once was, maybe hasn't been a big thing for 15-20 years now. For top half prem teams, it's a genuine chance of a trophy, from L1 down a chance of a glamour tie, a giant killing.....bit for championship teams and teams looking to avoid relegation it's a distraction you don't really need
Surely there is a difference between people prepared to attend for a cup final...vs a clubs appetite for trying to go as far as possible when they are an average championship outfit, and therefore could impact our league survival or promotion (too many games, injuries, fixture congestion, etc). Edit: personally, id like us to have a go. On the chance we draw some random lower league team and go for the ground tick.
Play the kids...We ain't going to win the League Cup...Concentrate on the bread and butter...Oxford on Sunday at ours...
Pandur Drameh Williams Egan Famewo Palmer McCarthy Tinsdale Akintola Gelhardt McBurnie Play a strong team and build more confidence. Minutes into the legs of Gelhardt, McBurnie and Akintola. Take them all off after 60mins.
I want a strong team and a convincing win to make up for an awful cup game against them (possibly 2004) and losing on penalties. All the away fans did all match was shout Wrexham repeatedly, fair play to them for turning up mid week but they still hated just the one chant all match
