Hull (A)

[rovers11]

Think we’ll win tonight. Hull are no great shakes and have had a new manager bounce at the start of the season. We tend to do well away at Hull so I’m going for 2-1.

We need more pace in the side tonight than on Saturday as we need a more counter attacking game here.

[Bigdoggsteel]

Bowen up against Cunningham should be interesting. I am more confident than if Bell was there. Bowen is a good player though....

[OJRovers]

If we try to play like Barcelona then we've got no chance.

Stick to our strengths and get Dack into the game.

 

[oldjamfan1]

An unchanged team and Hull 1 Rovers 3. Bowen for them and Dack, Graham and Gallagher for us.

Groscicki too. He will be against Benno ??

[JacknOry]

TM has beaten Hull more times than any other team as manager. 

Draw would be decent but I think we might just nick something here if Dack and DG are on the field.

[Riverside under the drip]

I'm here but no-one else is! 9 people in away bar. Should be a cracking atmosphere...

Tricky one tonight, will DG play?  I'd guess Gallagher will start up top and we will try to do what we were trying to do against Fulham, although Danny did get taken off early on Saturday so it's possible.

 Last season we played very well there with Armstrong getting a rare start as striker and they were quite poor.  It's gonna be a close game no doubt but hard to see us beating them for the third time in a row if we do it will be a really good sign that we can do better this season and give us confidence for the Cardiff game.

Hopefully, Johnson is able to play most games and doesn't get leggy, he's a good footballer as well as a gritty one and he really ought to be giving the rest of the team lessons in how to time headers because he is outstanding at it.  I think if we'd have had him and Travis in the middle during Bowyer's time we would have actually made the top 6.

Easily. I'll go one further and say we would probably have got automatic promotion.

Given up hope for Rothwell so I can't be bothered ranting on that side. Disappointed for Graham but eager to see how Armstrong is on his own. My only problem with him is his end product. We will see. Come on the boys!

Surely it's Gally on his own and Arma wide? Think that way around seems better suited personally.

Groscicki still there for some reason. Good player and dangerous 

Mr Groscicki was on the verge of signing for us, prior to signing for Hull. Allegedly, we were asked by his agent to clear gambling debts of c. £400k as part of the transfer arrangements, which we declined to do ....

Dont agree with Graham being dropped.

Hopefully its Downing left, Armstrong right and Gallagher up front.

[chaddyrovers]

3-1 Rovers. Dack first goalscorer

Armstrong caused Hull massive problems last season away up front..

Well we can always bring Danny Graham on. Dont agree with him being on bench though

Don't start nicking my forecasts!

Persevering without Graham.

Won’t be. It’ll be Gallagher on the wing again.

[OldEwoodBlue]

Dropping Graham - Ridiculous.

Hope Tony realises this is a MUST WIN GAME !

Does anyone know the last time Rovers won when live on Skysports main event?

I don’t see it as Graham being dropped more he hasn’t been picked for this particular game 

[lsp82]

For those overseas the game is on Bein Sports 12.

[DE.]

Assuming Graham is probably being rested due to the short amount of time between games. I wouldn't have personally. Lol @ Armstrong being ahead of Rothwell in the pecking order but no surprise there. Am convinced Gallagher has to be picked so he'll be in the team no matter what.

[roversfan99]

Graham proved a few times last season that he CAN play the vast majority of minutes in a 3 game week.
