Hull City vs Derby County

Wednesday 18th August 19.45 Ko

K-com Stadium

Nothing like an excuse to plug the Humber Bridge appreciation thread.

However unfortunatly, on the north side of the humber lies the settlement of Kingston-upon-Hull and despite an unhealthy interest in the sport of Rugby League they field a football team who we are slated to play against on Wednesday night.

With the talent at our disposal in the dugout and throughout the squad I am certain that the east ridding of yorkshire will be termbling in anticipation of an easy victory. However, with the season barely three matches old it's probably a bit early to be too negetive.

I think thought, really, the match is a distraction from the accounting issues which will be the true entertainment of the day.

Sadly got to assume there’s no Kaz for this one. So I’d imagine Stretton gets the nod even if we’re able to bring someone in.

If Stretton is leading the line then we’ll have to do something very different tactically and Sibley will have to start as Stretton will need support. No more complicated, utterly nonsensical tactics.

Going to this one with my friend provided they send the tickets in time or i can use my order form to gain entry. At least with stretton starting the horseshoe will be disposed of and put in the bin where it belongs. Tactics need to be simplified and inject some tempo into our attacking if we're to make any headway at all. QPR did these lot 3-0 today after they beat preston 4-1 away from home so not sure what to expect.

Ideally we can sort our issues out and get Jagielka in

If Buchanan is fit I would go with 5 at the back:

                        Roos

         Stearman   Davies  Forsyth   

      Ebsole  Sibley Shinnie Ravel  LB

                      Lawrence    
       
                       Stretton

Seems as good as any other. One of the things about our current players is you don't immediately think 'oh, so-and-so is missing'. Takes a while as you go through positions and players and even then 'oh poo I forgot them'!

We need to score goals so let’s try to give the opposition some problems 

                           Roos 

Byrne.  Stearman Davies.  Buchanan 

jozwiak.     Watson  Morrison    Lawrence    
                Ebosele Stretton 

 

Jozwiak and Lawrence because we have no one else whilst midfield is light but we need goals  - two playing up high because we have to move the opposite side around and create space and chances

We want goals but no Sibley ?

Jeez, it's not great is it ?  Is Liam Thompson available or is he another who is affected by the embargo?
