Would expect this to be closer to the starting 11 for Hull.

Potentially swap DaSilva for Bidwell
Torp for Sheaf

Depends on the opponent though.

Their squad.



Didn't realise they had signed RJJ from Posh.

Think there will be a decent sized away following for this one!

I reckon a gate of around 16/17 thousand

Didn't realise Ricky-Jade Jones had ended up there. Decent player for Peterborough in recent seasons.

They seem to have a few lower league players like that.

Not sure but think there will be a decent gate up there myself (Maybe 16/17k was a bit too confident)

I like many others are waiting for the Saturday game, combine that with St Pauli brining a far healthier away following than Betis

Interested to see what he does at LB. Trying to work out whether he's playing Brau at LW because he sees him as a potential option to cover EMC, or if it's just about getting him fit and used to the physicality over here and he'll be solely at LB when the season starts.

Any inkling of how far off Eccles and Wright are?

Rushworth
MvE Thomas Kitching Dasilva
Torp Grimes Rudoni
Saka Simms EMC

Think it's a bit of a case of Dasilva has really upped his game and is looking solid at LB, but Brau is too good not to play so he's using him a little further up.

I wonder if at some points we'll see Dasilva LW and Brau LB as well since Dasilva is good on the ball and has a decent cross on him.

The thing with Brau is that his first thought is to get the ball under control and whip a decent cross in.

Brau will be the LWB in time think they are getting him settled in. But his touch is very good and looks physically up to the task. Just needs time to get the speed of the championship so putting him higher up the field makes sense.

My point is if they were confident he was ready for LB he would of gone there yesterday. The fact in every friendly so far he has played further forward suggest they are not confident yet or they think he is better used higher up the field.

I dont understand the need for opinions that players cant adapt. All over this furom he was a LB? I watched him 3 times never played left back for 1 min of those games. He played left of a 3 or was push on wide left. So by all means pick on a word in post and make a point. I said before if i cared about a reply i wouldn't post my opinion.

He is a big unit, was surprised how tall and filled out he looked.

Made me laugh their RB was bombing forward and he couldnt catch him so he just grabbed him off the ball to stop him.

I was on the ticket office today and asked about attendances. There were 11600 at last nights game, ticket sales for Saturday are slower than they were for last night. A nice day and there could be a good walk up I suppose. Maybe more away fans this time?

My guess would be yes

Germans tend to travel well anyway and St Pauli have a bit of a strong following in the UK

In the words of FL St Pauli bring a more physical challenge to the table and that was done intentionally so I think the starting 11 will be the starting 11 against Hull even if we do get the loans we are anticipating.

Very left leaning fanbase, their ground is based on the Reeperbahn in Hamburg (Which is basically Germany's answer to Amsterdam) and as a result the club have a bit of a punk/hipster vibe to them - They are big on the LGBT/Refugee rights stuff, as a result they have developed a bit of a cult following here

They were very pally with Celtic, until the two sets of 'ultras' had a disagreement over the Israel/Palestine conflict
