Hull City v Boro 2-0

[RiseAgainst 2,348]

The Gazette said we started as follows against Sheff Utd:

"Up top, Watmore has the central role with Sporar to the left but very close by while Tav is far wider of the right." 

They also said Tav only went to RWB after 55 minutes, so he was part of the attacking setup for most of the game.

As well as foreigners, bad calls, depth of squad, amount of games, weather, transport, lack of sleep and that’s after we win.

Water on the floor in the changing rooms was my personal favourite post game excuse

Better than "the lads never ate their snacks"?

Thanks for your input @Erimus74 makes for a good read.

We lost 2-1 last time we were at Hull with Ass scoring.

Btw how is he doing for his team now?

Game Day. Another big 3 points on the way. Come on BORO

[TeaCider24 6,037]

Feels like a very big match against a very poor team.

Win and we're halfway back on track after a very sticky spell, lose and all the good work from Tuesdsy is erased.

I hope the 3,500 Boro fans come home happy, wish I could have went with them, bloody weddings.

Is that the figures 3500 are travelling to Hull? 
In my early days and that’s quite a few decades ago, we traveled all over the county, even to night match’s such as Portsmouth. Seems nuts now but the atmosphere was tremendous and probably the most emotional was Wolves.

We have to win this one don't we? Promoted club already in the relegation zone. Without knowing much about their squad I doubt many of them would get into ours, so it's all going to be about how Warnock sets us up and has us play. Will we play football or succumb to Hulls level and make it a slug. Warnock needs to take control over games like this and not set us up like against Derby, Blackpool, Reading etc. I have so little faith in Warnock that I'm going for a 1-0 Hull win.

I think thats probably what I'm most worried about.

We could play them off the park, but equally we could get dragged into a niggly, ill-disciplined scrap. Refs in this division already make some strange decisions as it is, without Warnock's antics and if our lads start picking up bookings, it could all go Pete Tong rather quickly.
