Hull City vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[LlcoolJ]

That's a bloody strong bench.

No Wilson though, still injured or Baldock preferred to him?

Comparisons to the cup game irrelevant as that was a reserve side. Even Chicksen played.

Think 4-5-1 / 4-3-3 is a good plan. We have the players to get them on the counter.

 

[Simster]

I think it's been forced on us to a certain extent, what with BZ not being able to do Saturday/Tuesday, Wilson not fit and Baldock only just returning from injury.

Besides, Stephens-Kayal-Sidwell looks a bloody strong midfield three!

Nailed it, IMO. Actually with that midfield, we might yet be the team running the game.

#BHAFC team v #HCAFC: Stockdale, Bruno, Goldson, Dunk, Calderon; Knockaert, Kayal, Stephens, Sidwell, Murphy; Hemed. #HCFCvBHA


#BHAFC subs v #HCFC: Maenpaa (GK), Rosenior, Crofts, Skalak, Baldock, LuaLua, Zamora

Hmm - some good shouts on the 'Team for Hull' thread then. Where's Wilson, though?

 

[Monkey Man]

No reason why we couldn't do a nice smash and grab here if we can be patient when not in possession and let Knocky do what he does best from box to box. Tough test for us though.

no Wilson again ??

 

[Seasider78]

Got a feeling we might get a point tonight which would be a fantastic result against a team bang in form

 

[Hugo Rune]

Great attacking options on the bench. LuaLua & Zamora have been brilliant subs in the past and Skalak is looking to impress to get a start on Saturday.

 

[portslade seagull]

That team is looking very strong again, future looks bright

 

[SweatyMexican]

As long as Knockhaert's on form, we'll be fine.

 

[Albumen]

Wouldn't it be great if we SMASHED THEM?!

 

[BensGrandad]

Impressed with both team selection and the fact we have a very attacking bench.

 

[glasfryn]

Wouldn't it be great if we SMASHED THEM?!

I have every confidence we will
3-1 to the good guys

[Dick Head]

Oh it is. Absolutely SIDE SPLITTINGLY funny.

And I love his drawing of a cock and balls, too. Its TERRIFIC.

(He describes himself as a 'family man' on his twitter bio, too, so presumably is not actually EIGHT years old).

Reinforcing his hetero credentials.

 

[BBassic]

Away from home against a good side, 451 is entirely the sensible option.

Glad to see Rosenior back in the mix!

 

[sparkie]

Im disappointed it didnt work when we played this tactic in the cup game, i know a total different side but i think if you sit back too much you will lose, we been playing with 2 forwards for last 4 games and won all of them, so why change a winning formula.

Sidwell-Kayal-Stephens is a little better than Crofts-Ince-Holla !!

 

[British Bulldog]

Impressed with both team selection and the fact we have a very attacking bench.

Agreed BG.

 

[Marty McFly]

Back from work just in time! Looks a good team. Presume Wilson is still injured?

Cmon the Albion!

Must be, can't see Skalak being ahead of him.

Any chance of a stream tonight?
