It hits home how light/shite we are upfront when most predicted XIs have BTA in for the first game of the new season.

You'd better get your tin hat on

 

[CCFC96]

Rushworth

KKH Thomas Kitching Dasilva

Sheaf Grimes

Sakamoto Rudoni EMC

Simms

3-1 win - Simms brace

 

[SleepyGinger]

Will we have MVE and need someone at LB?

If MVE and KKH are both in the squad do you expect both to start?

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Rushworth

KKH Thomas Kitching Dasilva

Sheaf Grimes

Sakamoto Rudoni EMC

Simms

3-1 win - Simms brace

Would be great to see for Simms.

 

[mmttww]

Simms to start, score two in the first 10 mins and totally lose his mind, go full Ketsbaia and destroy a bunch of Monzo ads while offering the whole of block 14 out for a ruck.

 

[Torquay Sky Blue]

Or Simms to start. Run a round a bit looking lost then substituted after 65 minutes for the other headless chicken

 

[Covcraig@bury]

I predict a very close hard fought game 4-1 Rudi, Sako,Simms and Thomas

 

[oneofourown]

Is Palmer still at Hull?

 

[Chicken Mcgraw]

Charlie Hughes is a real good CB wouldn’t mind seeing him here

 

[Lamps]

If MVE and KKH are both in the squad do you expect both to start?

If we need a LB yes. As we went through this before he played 17 games at LB.

we have three left backs. KKH has not played a single minute of pre-season there, he won't get put there on Saturday, come on now

Simms needs to start with a lot of encouragement from Frank… he just needs to find the net to give him confidence. If he starts, get money on him first goalscorer

 

[procdoc]

I actually think Simms will have a good season, just a feeling

It's someone taking a shit dig. I said ages ago we would have cover as LB if needed and we kept MVE. But considering MVE will most probably be gone by then....

 

[Dhinsa's_Millions]

Anything can happen against Hull with this defence!

We still have a massive issue at CB and we started last season the same.

Thomas gets some fans going with the last gasp tackles and the odd goal but was culpable against Sunderland - think he's mid-table at best. Kitching is erratic - will never play at a higher level.

Who’s taking a shit dig? This was your exact response when I said Dasilva would start against Hull


‘Charity bet?

I'm more certain that KKH will start before DS on the left than any of the charity bets I've had on here and I've won every one I've had.’

Im just asking if you still think this is the case?

 

[BlueSkiesForever]

Gotta admit that when you look at everyone’s predicted starting XI it basically hasn’t changed since last season. Rushworth is just filling Dovin’s place, same for KKH with Van Ewijk, can’t say atm that either are upgrades.

Yeah there’s several weeks left of the window but it’s a bit frustrating we basically haven’t changed the quality of the team (so far), the CB and CF areas are glaringly obvious problems to fix imo.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Rushworth
MvE - Thomas - Kitching - Dasilva
Grimes
Torp - Rudoni
Sakamoto - BTA - EMC
​

Reckon we’ll win 2-0, Rudoni with the first early on Wright to score off the bench late on into the game, hopefully an exciting game with good atmosphere maybe a sellout?

 

[blunted]

I worry KKH won't be fit. Possibly Lati and definitely Eccles won't be fit. Wright I feel will be on the bench.
If MVE is off or unsettled, then we struggle at right back.
Hull have won all their pre-season matches which does not necessarily mean they will be better in real matches. I feel Hull will be better this season than last.
I feel we will need to score two to get points.

FL said KKH went off as a precaution

Hulls recruitment has been dreadful

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Hope Lampard is brave enough to start Grimes , Rudoni and Torp as the midfield 3

 

[quinn1971]

well we know how we’re going to play, same as last season, 3-2

 

[stupot07]

If we need a LB yes. As we went through this before he played 17 games at LB.

KKH is NOT playing LB on Saturday. The ONLY way he plays LB is if Dasilva, Bidwell and Breu all get injured in a freak incident.

The obsession that KKH plays left back at any point this season is just stupid

Like the look of this team, hope Dasilva can pick up from where he left off last season

Wouldn't bank on it.
Sheaf has been captain during pre-season hasn't he!?

 

[mmttww]

Or Simms to start. Run a round a bit looking lost then substituted after 65 minutes for the other headless chicken

I prefer my version, bit more theatre to it...

 

[wingy]

Pretty sure he can with encouragement.
