Borodane 6,301 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Didn't Alex Bruce get injured for Hull on Tuesday? He was subbed very early. They have some real talent in midfield with Huddlestone and Livermore, so leadbitter and Clayton will have a battle on their hands. Probably the leagues two best partnerships against each other. We just can't afford a loss here. Would be happy for a point. Link to post Share on other sites
Tom 2,492 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Really want us to win this one, but I think it will be a draw. Think a similar game to Derby is on the cards, and it will be a familiar 1-1. Link to post Share on other sites

We just can't afford a loss here. Would be happy for a point. I read it was a knock so he might be fit.. Huddlestone was on the bench the other night so that shows their strength in midfield. Its going to be a very tough game, I think it might be one of very few chances for both teams. Link to post Share on other sites
Dynamo Kev 1,557 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 from what was was reading on their forums huddlestone offers nothing, most of their forwards cant hold the ball up and it keeps coming back at them. 'sound familiar' lol i think we are going to give them a bit of a shock tbh. we'll be well up for it and be fired up. if they have been slowly growing into games. they might be out of this one before they get into it. no mistakes like at derby 3 points boro. adomah will be dropped downing depena fabbrini will be behind nugent. ayala gibson and nsue back in the team.

Downsouth 6,326 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Possibly a must not lose game and most fans at this time I suspect will be happy with a draw, with the winning run that Hull are currently enjoying well that has to come to an end sometime and I firmly believe we are the team to stop that streak. Would be good to go into the I/B with a win and can see us getting a very close 1-0 away win. Link to post Share on other sites
Maccarone 265 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Important game not to loose, most would be happy with a point,top five can't keep winning every game, can they? Link to post Share on other sites
Humpty 3,261 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I'd take a drab 0-0 right now. We are more than capable of getting a result there. I don't fear Hull but I do respect their ability. A 0-0 away at fellow title contenders at the stage of the season is going to harm no one. Link to post Share on other sites
Air Resistance 26 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 We will have to up our levels from the last game. I'd take a draw right now but I'm hopeful we can pull a few surprises on them. Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,326 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 With Derby playing at Forest tomorrow then it is possible that we will go into the game one place down from present and with Derby top of the league. Other notable games are: Brighton V MK Dons Cardiff V Reading Fulham V Birmingham Charlton V Sheffield Wednesday Wolves V Burnley Makes not losing even more important Link to post Share on other sites
Naughty Boy 18 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I wouldn't take 1 point now. We want automatic promotion so its massive if we beat our rivals.. Imo its a 50/50 game so let's take our chance and go for the win. It depends how the game pans out, Red cards, Refereeing decision's etc but 1 point would obviously be a good point.. I would like 3 points though :) Link to post Share on other sites
"KM" 1,656 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Nice opening post Unger! I hope this isn't a game too far for some inevitable tired legs out there. However if we are all fit and up for it I think we can beat Hull but wouldn't be disappointed with a draw. Dimi, Kalas, Ayala, Gibson, Friend, Leadbitter, Clayton, Downing, Adomah, Fabbrini, Nugent. 1-0 Nugent 24min. I think we'll see that line up but Nsue over Kalas hopefully...Nsue has been a revelation this season...poor man's Dani Alves :P I think AK will pick that team.. I think he will choose Kalas over Nsue because he is better defensively. In fact I think we'll see De Pena start again to allow Downing play in the middle as that is where he is simply most effective. We could have Fabbrini on the wing but he isn't as effective out wide so De Pena the better option. Link to post Share on other sites
Tom 2,492 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I think we'll start: ---------------Dimi--------------- Kalas---Ayala---Gibson---Friend -------Clayton--Leadbitter------- Nsue-------Downing-------De Pena --------------Nugent-------------- Nsue to offer a bit more defensive cover. I know he's played more minutes than Albert, but I think that extra defensive cover will be something AK will want. Link to post Share on other sites

Best CB in the league, best CDM in the league, best player in the league according to AK (Downing) and the workhorse that is David Nugget. Link to post Share on other sites
Humpty 3,261 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Who is Hull's left back as a matter of interest? By and large I think you've hit the nail on the head there Tom. Link to post Share on other sites
boroinferryhill 8 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Think this is our toughest game thus far but I really do fancy a Boro win gutted I can't go have we sold our allocation interesting a few people would drop nando bar his mistake that Rotherham should really have capitalized on I thought he was solid Link to post Share on other sites
