Hull Away

[Beans]

Be a very tough game, don't think Hull have lost at home in months

They haven’t, buuuut the highest-placed team they’ve played at home in 2019 is the pigs, who are 11th. It includes games with Reading, Rotherham, QPR, Wigan and Millwall, and they drew two of those.

One concern re: Villa is that they may not select some key players, preferring to get them rested and not risk any injuries as they build up to the playoffs. As many have said before, plenty of twists to come, I still think we need 9 points

They’ve won their last 9 haven’t they? They’ll be wanting to keep that momentum going.

Let’s hope so.....

One game at a time gents , we’ve both got tough games Monday , I’m not looking beyond that at this stage

Abraham injured his shoulder yesterday.

Totally agree mate, as mentioned I reckon we need 3 wins - do that and Leeds have to gain 6 goals on us - not impossible but unlikely

It's a critical game for us without doubt. Win it and then Leeds have to go to Brentford and win. We then get Ipswich at home, win that and Leeds have to then beat Villa the following day. We can ramp up the pressure on Leeds for what is two incredibly tough games for them. The Hull game is probably the biggest game for us since the Burnley PO final

 

[Pinchy]

It’s based on wanting a reaction. Just ignore his wind up merchant attention seeking comments.

Yes. The drivel to content ratio was as close to 100% as makes no difference.

Thank Pele that SemiPro won’t be there, then.

 

[super_pig]

We didnt win at Villa FFS!!

no we didn’t .. hmm. well that’s it then .. it’s all over
happy now?

 

[Fulwood Blade]

Hulls results at home this season January onwards - worry yourselves not.

They are a mid table side and the sides they have beaten are nothing to write home about - we are 2nd in the league - it's time to prove it.

It's time to take a tough game and just do what the form table and the league suggests should happen - and that's a Blades win.

One game at a time.

Great. Just how I like it. I’d worry more if they hadn’t won at home in months. Runs end.

Totally agree mate, as mentioned I reckon we need 3 wins - do that and Leeds have to gain 6 goals on us - not impossible but unlikely

Our goal difference is currently plus six on Leeds. If we win our last three games 1-0 we will then be plus nine on them. To get past us by winning their last three games they will have to score 10 goals, so the task is even more unlikely than you think.

 

[Pinchy]

My opinion is that you shouldn’t say nonsense things like X is definitely going to happen, when there are no givens in this league. Wigan winning a game at Leeds where they were a goal and man down after 15 or so mins is a far less likely thing to happen than Stoke taking points from us at home, or Ipswich scraping a draw at the Lane, or Leeds beating a Brentford team with nothing to play for, or a Villa team that looks as though they’ll have little left to play for given their points difference to 6th or 4th. So yeah, saying we’re definitely going up if we win Monday is nonsense.

I’d have hoped that didn’t need spelling out – didn’t you already learn all this when kicking off a few times when the teamsheets game in? It’s almost as though you’ve lined up this “definitely up if we win at Hull” talking point so that you can reappear after we don’t and say we’ve “blown it”.

I agree about the Pig’s nonsense. A bit of balance though. Suggestions that Dirty Corrupt Leeds will cruise comfortably through Brentford and Villa are just as absurd.

 

[Pinchy]

Exactly, Hull are a good side with excellent individuals, Grosicki and Bowen have the ability to kill us if we are off our game

That’s true of the majority of teams in the Championship. There are no titans. Let’s draw a line between caution and pusillanimity.

 

[Topplayersleave]

I said a couple of weeks ago, let's win all six and then we don't have to worry about it.
Now I'm saying lets win all three
Next week I'll say let's win both of them

And at Stoke I'll say either let's win or play the youth team depending on whether we've messed it up against Hull and/or Ipswich or not

 

[Pinchy]

Our goal difference is currently plus six on Leeds. If we win our last three games 1-0 we will then be plus nine on them. To get past us by winning their last three games they will have to score 10 goals, so the task is even more unlikely than you think.

Dirty Corrupt Leeds are going to win all their games? Personally, I think not.

Just to add to the improbability drive, those 10 goals would have to be unanswered by the opposition.

That's a hell of a word. Have you had one of those bets with somebody about how many times you can get a word like pusillanimity into a discussion

I like the word pusillanimity, me.

Wish I had the courage and belief to use it

No. I sincerely hope they don't, but I'm just trying to show the situation if they do. My brain hurts just thinking about it all

 

[Blade58]

we’ve won at Leeds, Villa, Preston .. more difficult fixtures

Arguable simply because Hull are currently the best performing team in the league at home over the last 10 games

 

[Greenwich Blade]

I want Easter Sunday - and the rest of today - to get out of the way; Monday and Hull City away can't come soon enough for me.

 

[Mojo]

Leeds players and fans are on the floor, yesterday has broken them. If we beat Hull I just think the pressure might be too much for them. Hope we come out for this game like a team possessed.

 

[Mojo]

Good news?

Don't know much about either of these guys tbh

 

[BladeFisher]

In 1990 Oldham hadn't lost on that abomination of a plastic pitch for something like 2 seasons until we rolled into town.

Yeah but I don't think we were without Deane and Booker (aka Sharp and Basham).

 

[Lupa The Noa]

Wilder said Basham and Sharp will miss Friday and Monday games

Wilder and Basham will miss the rest of the season but will be back for the play-offs if we end up in them.
