Pre-Match Thread Hull City (H) - FA Cup 4th Round

[chapperzUK]

UPDATE: Hull have recalled Jack Hobbs from his loan spell at Notts Forest. As far as i am aware, he is now available for selection tomorrow

He played in Forest's thrashing of West Ham, so I don't think he can play.

True facts, he's cup tied.

Ignore the update everyone! They HAVE recalled him though...

He has been recalled because Reading bid £1m for him. Latest we heard was the Forest have got their fingers out and offered some cash up front to keep Hobbs on loan for the rest of the season when they will pay a fee for him. He will not be playing tomorrow. We might have a youngster making his debut though.

True facts

Is there a fact that isn't true then?

He played in Forest's thrashing of West Ham, so I don't think he can play.

Perhaps he's got a pilot's licence.

Interesting question now as to who will be on the subs bench (and who isn't).

If Thompson is playing, I would suggest ...........

Smith Auger (defensive cover) Eastwood Woodrow Laird Barnard & Clifford

Can't be bothered to look through but the reason he was recalled was due to an injury to James Chester.

I think Hull are in Town... Charter Flight from Humberside arrived at the airport around 4.00pm. Not sure where they staying but would think the Holiday Inn.

Does anyone know a chef at the Holiday Inn? :winking:

Is it 7 or 5 subs for the Cup?
if it is 5 then I think PB may go with 5 outfield players, so Auger if O'Neill can't play otherwise it will be Thompson, then Laird and Clifford with Fred and Lee. Maybe CW and young Payne will figure if it is 7 subs.
my thoughts are also that there is now great scope for half the team to be swapped for the Daggers game with only the defence short handed until O'Neill and Whitey are fit and available.

Teams used to stay at the Westcliff Hotel .Cant see them stopping at the Roslin because isn't Phil Brown staying there .

I used to work there as a kid, and plotted to spike the Sheffield Wednesday team's orange juices one morning, but bottled it cos I was scared of the ever-prowling Jackie Charlton!

Our game is 5 Live's main commentary!

Ok match day has arrived.

im going for:

Bentley
Thompson, Phillips, Prosser, Coker
Hurst, Atkinson, Leonard, Timlin
Corr and Barnard

or back 5 as above with a three of Atkinson, Leonard and Timlin in the middle and Hurst, Straker and Corr upfront. Personally would like to see the 4-4-2 formation today. Going for a 2-1 win.

Match day has arrived and I can't keep off the toilet! No way I can see a rusty Barnard start the match........

 

[Massimo Giovanni]

The morning of the game is here, nothing yet about it on Sky, only the Kiddie/Sunderland game. Are we really not liked by someone there?
Now it's decisions time for us fans, what is the lucky shirt stuff (no yellow obviously). Do I go to the Spread or straight into the club bar? What time to get along there? Do I take my old Wembley flag? Camera?
And then if I have a few beers what about getting to the ............

My hopes and expectations are HIGH! UTB!:smile:

No, think there will be a sub appearance but I'd be very surprised if he starts. Same team as last weekend, Thompson if O'Neill isn't fit.

 

[Murkey_Mouse]

Jack Hobbs already played Vs **** Ham on loan for Forest in FA Cup.

 

[Always a Shrimper]

I Did not sleep much last night, did you?

I tossed and turned all night, thinking about the match, drank lots of tea. Looking forward to a wonderful occasion, win or lose.

How did you get on?
