Alph Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I'm sure when they come to a PO semi final against a team they have a W0 D0 L2 GD-6 they'll be a different proposition They're dodgy away anyway aren't they? But they've got to be the team you want in the PO right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Both Boro and Hull look fragile. If we can avoid defensive blunders we can progress past Hull then Boro or Sheff Wed and lift the trophy. Beating carp sides can be rock hard. Bruce - only plus point was that Dawson was not injured! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarrowRam Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I know hull are hit and miss at the moment. But I just hope they don't click against us in the play offs semi. Let's go down to Brighton and get a good result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Hull rested SIX players today for a game that they did not need any points from. We are in the same situation against Brighton barring a 6 - 0 defeat and a win for the Wendies. PUT THE SECOND TEAM OUT AGAINST BRIGHTON. They need to win by three clear goals to then only need a draw against Boro. Give them a 3 - 0 win for me and then let them go and beat Boro and get away from us. Playing Boro in the Final is my first choice. If Brighton win, Boro will have 3 points out of 12 and the dreaded Play Offs to play against two teams that have nothing to lose.We do not want Brighton at Wembley.

Hull made six changes, but the previous game they made seven. You can't have it both ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioactiveWaste Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Play strongest team v Brighton - game time together esp Hughes coming back. They know there's nothing on it and can play without pressure and know if the jump out of the odd one, we'll all understand why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexydadbod Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 From one person on their forum Masterstroke by SB today at Bolton. Derby will have had spies watching this taking notes and making assessments on how to counteract our style of play and what our players can do. Derby have learned **** all about us today in our current form. That was a League Cup team and nothing like what will face them in the play-off games. Todays game and the Rotherham game next week are meaningless, there is a far bigger prize on offer so why would anyone give the advantage to an opponent by playing their strongest hand so that it could be picked apart and analysed ready for the important games. I don't believe that momentum counts for anything as momentum usually stops at some point. What really counts is keeping the squad fit, keeping our tactics and game plan under wraps and keeping Derby guessing. That what we achieved today.

WystonRam Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Personally against Brighton, i would start Bent and leave Martin out completely- he is too important for our style of play to risk getting injured, rest Thorne and give Will more game time, Buxton for Shackell or Keogh, Hanson for Christie, Blackman for Ince, Camara for Russell ,if fit Johnson and Butterfield in midfield and rest Bryson- assuming league rules "playing strongest team available" would allow it ?

nottingram Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 All well and good saying that Hull rested however many players but I seem to remember us resting a few away at Leeds. A few weeks and a few poor results later and Clement was out on his arse. A relatively poor result can easily see it become a bit of a habit. To be clear I don't necessarily think it'll be an easy tie and I haven't booked my train down to London yet but I don't think resting players is a good idea at this stage of the season for any team.

B4ev6is Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Well hull fans keep talking and derby do our talking on the pitch and we beaten you twice 2-0 and 4-0 what we know you cant handl pace or our fast flowing football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewe Ram Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Doesn't matter what team you put out, losing is no good for anything and if SB thinks he's hiding anything from us then he's thick. Maybe he just doesn't know his best side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CumbrianRam Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Whatever side Hull had out, losing to Bolton is embarrassing. Bolton had a weakened team too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because teams can switch on and switch off at will - also, haven't we already learned how to destroy Hull? I think the above comment proves one thing only - there are thick people in East Yorkshire too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's literally around 40 games from just this season our scouting team can watch of Hull, hardly a "masterstroke" to just not turn up in one game.
