You'll fall asleep waiting for our pacey strikers; then they can tip-toe in very quietly and score the goals!
Nice thread as usual AK - 5 *'s from me. I will go with a 2-2 draw... I love this holier than thou attitude from Dull City fans after our visit to the KFC earlier this season - they seem to forget when they stuffed us in the play-offs a few years ago and their fans ran on the pitch when they scored and abused our keeper. I am sure we can expect a visit from Vespa Boy as well...
Have you missed me? I was a tad annoyed about your antics at our place this season, but I'm over it now. Our thin squad is starting to tell now, we've lost Hobbs, Dudgeon and Mclean for the season and with Rosenior injured last Saturday, we ended up with a right winger at right back, as we had no-one else. How quick are your full backs?
Speedy in thought if not in body - although to be fair to them, they appear to be quicker than our wingers. It's just a pity that, after pushing forward, they have to come back again.
They can get a shift on when they need too. Taylor nearly caught Ince when he was brought down by TK. And tbf, Murray seems to be double marked of late as teams realise how good he is. If he has the space to run into then he can get a head of speed up.
Does anyone know what has happened to Hodson? Although Dicko had an ok game against Blackpool, I much prefer Hodson (even if he is a little on the short side).
WELL with Hull City still in with a chance of the play-offs I expect a narrow Hull win. 1-0 or 2-1 will do nicely thanks.
I prefer Hodson too, although it's easy to forget that he's younger than Whichelow, Bennett, Bryan and Alex, and has played more games this season than any of them. I can only assume that Dyche thinks half a season plus internationals is about right for him. Besides, if Hodson plays I think Dyche would pick Dickinson over Doyley.
I agree with Ak and think it'll be 1-1. One thing is certain (I'll probably mention this before every game until we get one) the keeper won't be able to do any prep re our penalty taker as we don't even know who he is because we haven't had one since Marv left.
I've no idea how many were bringing down for this one, but unfortunately I won't be one of them, I have a house full on Saturday night and I'm banned from going out at all on Saturday(following an incident earlier in the season, when I popped out to the supermarket and accidentally drove to Peterborough). The fact that we are almost certainly going to fall short of the play-off's will reduce numbers, but we do have quite a lot of exiles in London, so there should still be a half decent turn-out.
Its an interesting problem. Deeney has the higher goal tally and would probably be the most likely to score. However, it would do Iwelumo/Garner/Britt the world of good to take one if we were 1 up and it matters less if we miss.
