Middlesbrough, it doesn’t matter if it was Man City we have to WIN, yes they are playing well, we’re not great at home but the past as gone.The first of six vital games, Go and win this then onto the next.If we want an unlikely top six finish then do it, we have got ourselves in this position because of some poor home results ,well get out there, make up for it, show some bottle and get us competing for a top six spot. Most of us are expecting to miss out, pressure is off slightly so give it a go, Its the first of six cup finals, let’s keep this promotion interest going right to the end. We have proved we are good enough many times yet consistently let’s us down. Well change that mentality, we are sick of some of the poor home form, get on with it and do um. WIN
Whilst the chances of a top 6 finish are slim now, if we were to manage it, it would represent fantastic form going into the playoffs and I'd back us to go all the way. Or at least telling myself that makes me feel better about having booked a hotel for Wembley...
Thats true We'd be pretty much the most inform team going into playoffs If we make it While 3rd place will be dejected after losing automatic on game 46 probably
On a complete side note and because I can’t wait until Chazz does Saturdays’ MDT so thought I’ll pop this here. My niece’s son who’s 9 is playing against city’s boys on Thursday night and then doing flag waving on the MKM pitch for the QPR game on Saturday. Last time he played against city’s boys he was apparently the best player on the pitch according to the city coaches so cross fingers he might get an invite to play for the mighty tigers at some point in the future. For the first team would be nice lol.
That would be us doing one over Leeds then. Sounds like the best scenario all round, really. I'm almost glad we're gonna do it the hard way.
From Hull City Fans Forum on Facebook - This is Andy Clark, a long time city fan, a friend of our own Johnny Hayton, a member of Hull City fans forum and well known in the cricket world. He was coming up on Wednesday but was sadly found deceased in his flat in London at the weekend. I respectfully request, fans join in applause on the 54th minute on Wednesday day to show our respect to another tigers fan no longer with us. Please spread the word. please log in to view this image
Very sad. Spoken to him a few times "on tour" when buying his cricket magazine outside the grounds. Had no idea he was City.
Lad asked me on Saturday how my under 9s had managed to go 22 unbeaten and 1 loss in 44. Think he was expecting some response about formations and poaching kids from other teams. I told him that I 'keep my mouth shut and stand with a smile on my face whilst they play football'. They will sort themselves out a lot faster without adults screaming at them. Coach them on a Wednesday and let them play on a Sunday. No pressure, 3 key coaching points before the game. They're fearless. Having said that we lost last Sunday to a right shower so maybe that theory is a load of ****!!
A win here and on Saturday v QPR = 67 points with a game in hand on Norwich. Norwich will only get 1 point from the next two games leaving them on 68 points. The other teams have very tough run-ins. What's the problem? As things stand: 6th - Norwich City - played 41 - 67 points April 9: Sheffield Wednesday - A April 13: Preston North End - A April 20: Bristol City - H April 27: Swansea City - H May 4: Birmingham City - A
Best time for them to wobble, I think. Less time for them to pull themselves together and recover. I wouldn’t be surprised if Coventry win though and our game against them becomes an absolutely must win for us. Hopefully Southampton do us a favour there too. At least we’ll have an idea where we’re at before we even play on Wednesday.
Pretty much all remaining games are must win. I guess Boro and Coventry could be considered even more must win than the other must win games?
