The TV companies would hate a Hull v Watford tie to go along with Palace v Reading!

They will probably be praying tomorrow that Man U win at Shrewsbury.
 
Alan Mcinally who was covering our game yesterday on SKY apparently said after watching for the first few minutes "Get your money on Welbeck scoring in this game, he will definitely score" I hope he did and lost a fortune.
 
Wasn't just him though. Even in the studio they only corrected themselves in a desperate attempt to appear pc. Like when you say "with respect" to someone when you have no respect at all.

Not saying they as individuals hate us or even that they don't respect us and our chances. But it does reveal the underlying obsession of the media with the top clubs with the rest as just cannon fodder. Inevitable that their auto reaction is to pander to their biggest audience I suppose but it was insulting.

I wouldn't have them shot for it but I think they deserve it ramming down their throats.

That's if Bruce actually wants to win the reply.
I would have thought if he wanted to win he would put out his strongest team.
Gus Hiddink must be a terrible manager. He doesn't seem to know his second best team and can't even lose properly.

You can win matches without playing your first XI, as we demonstrated in 2014, however you need to mix experience with youth. Our defence against Arsenal epitomised this perfectly, with Maguire and Tymon combined with Davies, Bruce and Taylor. Swap in Odubajo for Taylor and I'd go the same back 5 again.

It's further up the pitch we came unstuck though with Elmo as useless as tits on a bull.

Guys like Snodgrass who I dare say wouldn't mind an extra match after how long he's missed should be brought into the side to give us a real chance.
