1-1 draw at 11/2 with PP is tempting. I think we'll take the lead around the hour mark and they'll equalise with 10 minutes or so left.

Knockaert and Murphy both 12/1 to score first are pretty big and there may be some value in Sidwell at 25/1 considering he is likely to start.

Yep.
Win by nine and we are level on GD, but scored two more.

Done deal then, "We are Top of the League, say we are Top of the League!"

Personally don't think Dunk has a problem with the ball at his feet...still makes a change from hearing that Calderon will be our weak link
Dunk is fine withe ball at his feet,.. in the warm up.....and when there is no opposition player within 10m of him.

Wouldn't be at all surprised if Sidwell or Crofts starts in place of Zamora as part of a five man midfield.
Have we had success starting with 5 in midfield?

Hull are very strong. They have a number of players who would be comfortable in a Premier League team - Snodgrass, Elmohamady, Hernandez, Dawson, Huddlestone, Davies. I always felt they were the team to beat this season.

Tough, tough ask, would bite your hand off for a draw now. Tactically, though, CH has been bang on the money lately: our best chance is the pace of Murphy, Knocky, Wilson (off the bench I suspect) on the break.

...and a surprise package called Skalak... let's free him up to run at them.

Taking a car load of fans from York. The last league match we played there was a 1-0 loss 3 seasons ago. If that single result had been reversed and we won 1-0, we would have been promoted at the end of the season and not suffered the play-offs. Small margins!

What would the score have to be for us to go top alphabetically?

I would have given this a 4 STAR **** rating.

Hull are expected to win 2-1.

Meanwhile, I would not give Dale Stephens a rest, but instead help him out with another proper midfielder. I don't think he has gone off the boil at all, just that the 4-2-4 gives him too much work, with Stephens and Kayal usually battling against an extra man. This does not give them enough scope to be creative.

Fans have suggested the introduction of Sidwell or an accelerated return of Rosenoir, but Crofts is the forgotten man. Sometimes rightly as he seems anonymous and has never seemed to gain back his form since his return. But he seems a more likely starter to me.

Pan four from six first team choices for the Hull midfield, including wingers Elmohahady and Snodgrass.

Lualua to start for me. Can't leave talent like that on the bench in important games.
