[Archived] Hull Preview

[Plastic Head]

Uh oh he's right

ROVERS: Robinson, Salgado, Nelsen ©, Givet, Olsson, Diouf, Emerton, Nzonzi, Andrews, Pedersen, Kalinić.

Subs: Brown (GK), Roberts, Reid, Hoilett, Di Santo, Jones, Chimbonda.

In that case.

It will be 0-2.

In fact I think i'll take my coat off.

[PAFELL]

Its a joke

It must be a non funny joke, cos nobody is laughing.

[Tom]

The only other thing I can think is play Salgado at LB and Emo at RB which would improve things but not all that much

[neophox]

We'll win 3-1 . Kalinic, Emerton and Pedersen with the goals.

Im happy we do have those three players today, they are all matchwinners.

I would had prefer Reid to Andrews today.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Lets wait and see what happens tonight, if we lose then there will be some flack over the team selection but if we win nobody will care.

Personally i guess we just have to hope that Andrews and Diouf play a blinder, if they play their usual stuff then we are playing with 9 men.

[Manc Rover]

1 up front v Hull at home. How did it all come to this? Hope he knows what he's doing but must say, I'm actually glad I'm ill and unable to attend tonight.

[Mr. E]

Salgado, Pedersen, Andrews, Diouf, Kalinic alone.

I mean......no words really.

[Tom]

Yep my initial reaction was one of shock and dismay but really any team we pick should be enough to beat these lot at home

if not then questions will be asked

[G Somerset Rover]

Is playing Diouf and Andrews some kind of sick joke?

We don't have one ounce of creativity or pace (well Olsson at LB) in that side.

Think we'll be lucky to draw now but happy for the expert to prove me wrong.

[Amo]

What a miserable line-up.

[ABBEY]

Another expert team....0-2

[broadsword]

Uh oh he's right

ROVERS: Robinson, Salgado, Nelsen ©, Givet, Olsson, Diouf, Emerton, Nzonzi, Andrews, Pedersen, Kalinić.

Subs: Brown (GK), Roberts, Reid, Hoilett, Di Santo, Jones, Chimbonda.

Us lot who aren't big fans of Sam get accused of picking up on every little thing, and showing everything in a negative light. So let's try to be positive for once:-

Givet - in his preferred position of centre back

olsson - good at getting forward

kalinic - our best player starts

Think that's about as much as you can say, really!

[Dan]

How is our 'manager' so stupid? I thought we'd got over his little mental problem? He really has lost the plot hasn't he? He cannot see what is blindingly obvious, does he want to make us struggle and make it harder to win than it should be? That team selection is absolutely crazy, can anyone justify it? Come on Pro-BFS brigade, jusitify that team selection!

I'm praying we stay up and get rid of this idiot in the summer, he is clueless and obviously is suffering from some kind of mental disorder.

[LeChuck]

Think we're guaranteed a win tonight...every time there is this kind of overreaction to a selection we win. I'd guess...

..................Robbo

Salgado Nelsen Givet Olsson

...........Andrews N'Zonzi

....Emerton Pedersen Diouf

.................Kalinic

Maybe Diouf and Pedersen swapping. The only bit I'd argue with is Andrews ahead of Reid, otherwise I'd probably have played the same team.

I imagine we'll win tonight, too. Which says more about Hull than it does for us.

Bryan, thanks for your positive outlook(chuck us over some of that ale you've been supping please, I need some morale boosting!) Givet is at CB because Samba is out and Olsson is at left back, which he isn't great at. Though your points are completely correct, it seems the only things he is doing right are things that have been forced upon him!

Bloody Diouf though?! For Gods sake, he is worse than Andrews, by far. He is a waste of a selection and even if he was the last option I'd rather see a youngster in his place, they couldn't do any worse. The guy has no pace, no trickery and can't cross/shoot/pass. He is as useless as our manager.

[RibbleValleyRover]

It could be a real battle at the back, JVH and Altidore and big strong lads and when full of confidence provide a real test.

[Miker]

Given the team available, the only change I would make would be Hoilett for Diouf. No idea just how fit Reid is, and the last game I watched Andrews in he did well, so with all bias aside, he deserves a shot in the first team right now.

[Alan75]

Was going tonight but was late getting back from work - having seen the team I'm counting my blessings.

[sweet]

I'm guessing the system he is employing is something like this tonight.

..........Robinson

Salgado Givet Nelsen Olsson

..........Nzonzi

......Emerton Andrews

Pedersen .............Diouf

......... Kalinic

I'm not really getting your pro-Sam attitude at all. Are you seriously thinking that line up is the strongest we have? We are at home against a team below us in a MUST WIN MATCH! No offence or anything, but I'd like you to explain your way of thinking :-)

[Amo]

Andrews & Nzonzi is one of the worst midfield partnerships we've had. French guy looks clueless shepherding Keith around the pitch.

I'd like you to explain who you would put in your lineup given the players available.

[alexanders]

Considering how rubbish Di Santo was against Stoke I agree with putting him on the bench.

I think diouf might be a valuable player against the likes of Hull, but we have NO offensive power on our right hand side at all.

Ollsson ovelapping peds has worked brilliantly before. The triangle with peds, olsson and kalinic is a good one.

Andrews will score tonight!

[BRFC1995]

thats up there with the wankest team we could possibly pick, has he resorted to picking the names out of a hat.

I can see us having to soak up a lot of pressure tonight, cannot possibly a positive result.....where are the goals going to come from apart from the obvious answer of Hunt, Altidore etc
