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

[Ayrshire Blue]

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.

Barnard won't start and I'd be very surprised if we changed formation.

Had butterflies in my stomach the whole of last night and just can't wait to get to Roots Hall for a few beers! Came across a photo of me and my brother as mascots with Roycey whilst attempting to locate my phone charger after a few too many down the pub. Wearing the magnificent Telewest kit so guessing it was 1996?! Got me even more excited although still not sure about the haircuts (cheers mum).

COYB!

I am thinking same as Ayreshire Blue, no reason to change a winning side that played well last time out. If it doesn't look to be working then Mr Brown can use his options. A settled, small squad has been a strength for us so far.

Think an unchanged side with Barney on the bench. Looking forward to it and with Hull showing the competition a lack of respect in team selection and in only bringing around 1200 I hope we embarrass them.

Shame the club were unable to sell the 1000 or so empty seats. I'm sure they would have gone.

Bentley

O'Neill* Phillips Prosser Coker

yes, it's pretty poor support for a Premiership team; looking at the Hull forum (their independent one got hacked/taken down this week!) there's not even a thread about the game, seems they think it's gonna be easy and a foregone conclusion. (some comments in the Phil Brown thread). Here's hoping we run them close...

And they were moaning on there board about us not taking there premiership status seriously. When you can't fill a league two clubs away end then you deserve any respect.

There has been a lot of rain overnight and I guess the grounds guys are out with their forks on the pitch . In the bars I want the beer to be from clean fresh pumps. I hope shop is going to be busy.

That is a real shame but not surprising imho.
