Extremely unlikely. Kingston to London is about 4,500 miles and around 9hrs flight time.

Jamaica is 5 hrs behind the UK and game time is 1am Wednesday GMT. So assuming they don't catch the first flight out, they wouldn't be expected to leave until later on Wednesday and arrive in the UK sometime early on Thursday. And not taking into account jet lag, playing with just one days rest isn't ideal for professional athletes.

Think we probably lose this one. They’re in very good form.

Yeah agreed we probably will. Would take a draw in all honesty.

On SKY ?
We should still be able to put a decent team out. A draw wouldn’t be a disaster.
Godden to score again ?

That's probably about right I would say. Seems logical at least.

Assuming Palmer and Lats are good for nothing but filling out the bench:

Wilson
Thomas Fadz Kitching
MvE Eccles Sheaf Dasilva
Ayari
Simms Wright

S: Collins, Binks, Bidwell, Sakamoto, Kelly, Godden, Obikwu, Palmer, Latibeaudiere

I'll be honest, people know my previous thoughts on Godden but I'm not sure you can drop him the form he's in.

Bring him on at 60 mins, Id just like to see Simms without him there and think his height could be useful. I’m not too fussed either way.

Can't see Ayari starting, I think it's more likely to be Sakamoto again in Palmer's absence. I'm just thinking about Robins' comments on his workrate or lack of.

I would like to see more of Tats in an attacking position. I know he's been bought as a right sided defender/midfielder but I think with his ability while on the ball, I can see him causing Hull some problems in the middle of the park.

On Godden, he's scored 3 times for us in 2 visits to Hull, no way he won't start

Spoke to him at the Watford game and he said he was back in full training in 2 weeks, so I'd assume it's too soon for him yet

If we got a point each time people (not specifically you) would 'take a draw' we would finish in mid table. We need to create an expectation of winning. It breeds confidence and without players expecting themselves to win most games, they likely won't. A winners mentality can make teams more successful than the sum of their parts.

Jamaica play Tuesday night, local time, which is early Wednesday morning in England. They can fly back on Wednesday.

Hopefully Tats plays in the 10 role for this game since Kasey won't be back and I doubt Ayari will start, think I'm the only one who actually liked him play there against Swansea.

As has previously been said, Hull have had to move the game due to a conflict with their Rugby team playing on the Saturday. We had similar changes when Wasps wanted to play on the same day but we often went for Sunday lunchtime kickoffs.

"The match has been moved forward one day due to a Rugby League fixture taking place on the Saturday."

FIXTURES: New date for Hull City away match

Coventry City's away game against Hull City will now take place on Friday 15th September.

I bet you were given a week off by the boss when you got back.

Why have you dropped our best striker and top scorer? Have you already conceded the game?

Think we’ll have less of the play and Simms is better defensively and has more pace. Godden has played every minute of every game. He can have a rest for an hour.
