[Archived] Hull City V Blackburn Rovers

[cn174]

Anyone know if you can pay on the gate for the away end?

The official site suggests not. It said you had to buy tickets by 2pm this afternoon.

[DE.]

Could it be Wigan away all over again? Full of confidence beforehand, 15 mins gon and we were dead in the water. I hope it's not a repeat of that, I felt ill afterwards.

I think the situation is somewhat different, if only because in the Wigan game the players seemed to be playing to get Ince sacked. I can't find any other excuse for the shocking way we let Wigan cut us open, it was heartbreaking to watch.

The players don't want Allardyce out in the same way, so hopefully he can inspire them to take the game to Hull.

[Rovermatt]

I think we have a good chance in this. We really need these three points and Hull have been rubbish recently. 2-1 Rovers.

[RevidgeBlue]

The Boro result was always a possibility - a team buoyed by a good performance and result in the Cup midweek.

I think we could well go the other way, also on a lengthening winless streak but with confidence sapped by a dire performance and result in midweek.

Setting off for the game in seven hours, so hope I'm wrong.

[Gus Gus]

oh (Please don't use that word again) do we need a win

[No Nay Never]

We need a bare minimum of 4 points out of the next 2 games i reckon. A draw wouldnt be a disaster today if we could beat Everton on Weds. Saying that though Hull is the easier game of the 2 on paper so this becomes our must win game, couple with the fact we suck Hull into the mire as well if we beat them.

[dingles staying down 4ever]

Got a bad feeling......I think Rovers will win and win well.......which usually means they'll get beat.

I disagree, I think we definately need the win today and a draw would be an disaster, just because of where Hull are in the table and how a win for us would drag them towards the relegation zone. Not only that, but if we can't beat Hull who haven't won in what, 12 games? Then can we beat anybody? (Though I suppose you could have said the same about Boro when we drew against them)

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Woe betide our lot if they dare put in a poor performance today.....NO EXCUSES!

[John]

Biggest game for a few years, feeling it.

[RoyRover]

This game was big enough as it was, add in Middlesbrough's result yesterday and it just got bigger. We really need a win today. A draw would be something, but a loss would be a disaster. These next two games will have a big say in whether or not we can survive.

[dennis the menace]

anticipating a game, with anxiety attacks, but hopefully, it will turn out, to be a prozac in the end

i have mixed feelings regarding the match, i actually dont know what to expect. We really need this win, it would pull hull right down into the relegation battle, and reduce the gap upwards. all games are of equal importance, BUT with that being said, this one sort of stands out.. to me, it almost feels, as if its make or break today..

[Balwer]

Very nervous, pacing around the house like a madman, housemates looking a little bemused. They should know by now though.

[Sysagent]

Must win game...

Anyone know if it's been televised anyplace at all fancy watching this un as it is a crucial match.

[ffan]

COME ON ROVERS BEAT THEM

[1864roverite]

the game "should" be available to internet surfers if you look closely enough

death by pc with the cricket on in the background

[Bobby G]

Such a big game. Home early to watch it here. Our future hinges quite sharply on today.

Big Sam come on pull a win out of the gum-packet.

[Majiball]

I could build a wall, with the amount I've produced so far today.

Stand up and be counted, Lads.

Happy Hunting.

[Paul Mellelieu]

Thought it was a 3pm kickoff. Bloody hell, nearly missed it.

[Hughesy]

4-5-1

Roque up front

Warnock, Grella, Pedersen, Diouf & Andrews in midfield

Givet at full back

Hull have Duke in goal - whos he??

[HemelRover]

Givet at full back

Wonder if that means Warnock on the left with Pederson off the striker or Warnock and Grella as the midfield 2 with Andrews getting forward......i hope not.

[modes98]

Dunn injured?

Never heard of Duke either, mind you that's not always a good thing with us. I prefer playing keepers who we know their weaknesses.

Pre-match songs on the go. Big Big game!

[Bobby G]

Duke has been first choice for over a month now.

[jonv]

if your watching or listening live online can you make your presence felt in the chat room for the game, the delayed text updates on the bbc are too painfull,

ONE ROVERS

[Balwer]

I am guessing we're lining up like this

----------Robbo

Ooijer Samba Nelsen Givet

----------Grella

----Andrews Warnock

------Diouf Pedersen

------- Santa Cruz

If we go behind or are level with 20-30 to play they'll bring on McCarthy for Andrews or Warnock and revert to 4-4-2 you'd imagine. Perhaps even 4-3-3 with Roberts on and the other one off too.

Would prefer Dunn to Andrews but looks decent on paper. Warnock in the midfield always scares me though.
