I can see us getting something from this! 2-1 Paynter and Bennett!
-
Im going for a rob jones 1-0 header from a copps corner :)
-
According to Paul Goodwin Brown and Bennet are out tonight.

Commentary on bbc radio Umberside.

My old man was speaking to bennett in gym and Bennett has got a dead leg and resting brown apparently. Don't know what team is going to look like :/
-
Woods, Quinn, McCombe, Jones, Spurr, Keegan, Harper, Husband, Coppinger, Blake, Syers
-
Yeah, sorry guys - I got all fickle and decided I couldn't be trashed to do a match thread after the performance on Saturday. They don't deserve me, they don't. I sit on my butt every game and sometimes drink beer for them, and they put in a performance like that.
So I'm not doing another match thread until Saturday. Or I might do it on Friday night seeing as forgetting to do tonight's blog on Monday has caused me to run out of time tonight!
Looking forward to it as ever. Could be interesting as I'm expecting at least 3 changes with Husband, Harper and Blake coming in. As you'll see, I'm not exactly optimistic but, then again. Hull will be resting players too . so.....maybe.....
:rtid:
-
Sub: Sullivan, Paynter, Cotterill, Meade, Middleton, Binns, Mullen
Makes you wonder why we didnt stick youth players on bench in league seeing as we could only pick 4 or 5 subs

Oh
The last time Rovers met Hull in this competition was in 1975. Rovers, then in the 4th division 2nd division Hull 2:1. The goals came predictably from Peter Kitchen and not so predictably from midfielder, Ray Ternant. The crowd? 20476 - a figure never exceeded at Belle-Vue since that date. I was lucky enough to be at that game, and for the only time ever, sat in the main-stand. I think my dad was nervous about having two little kids on such packed terraces and so decided to take a safer and easier option.
That year gave Donny their best performance in this competition, famously equalled by Dave Penney and his men in 2005/06 but never bettered. Rovers went out in the next round to Tottenham Hotspur. The 7:2 scoreline flattered Spurs terribly. Few records will show that Rovers leveled the tie at 2:2 after 52 minutes but then could no longer hold on to a Spurs side containing names like Martin Chivers and John Duncan (who between them scored 5 of the goals). I'd take either, or, or both should Rovers find their way past Hull. A plumb tie in the next round would be nice, or a nice run to the quarter-finals wouldn't be bad. Both? Well I could put up with that too!
...that was my intro - Anyone remember it?
-
Great start
1-0 hull
-
Losing 0. 1 McClean 28secs
-
Very poor defending, 3 chances to clear and none taken. Hull are keeping the ball well and we look scared to death of it
-
Rovers first touch was Woods picking it out of the net!
COYR
It can only get better!
:scarf:
-
Quinn, McCombe, Jones, Spurr,
Did concern me about the lack of pace, but we seemed to cope in first couple of games. Perhaps we've been found out.
For me should be one or the other of Jones or McCombe paired with Spurr. Husband at full back but question marks over Quinn's pace also.
-
Getting a bit of a habit conceding early
-
0-2 :suicide:

Its a different level of players too as well though. L1 strikers won't come much quicker and trickier than Ajose and he was handled fine on Saturday. I think there's certainly a "horses for courses" argument against the odd team though.

Is it to early to switch off Player and not listen?

30 min gone and not even a shot on goal

Makes me wish we could go back to the passing 4-3-3 system instead of the 4-4-2 long ball we adopt these days

With knocks and jaded players he could not pick a different eleven. We have what we've got.

What a goal, looks like we are making a habit of goal of the season contenders

Get in Dave Syers! Copps beating Fye in the air???

Syers is better in a three man midfield enables his attacking qualities.

Couldn't agree more.... apart from I don't subscribe to the 'jaded' players bit ... injured/knocks I can equate with but 'jaded' ??

I've been saying for a long time that we have some of the very, very best supporters in the world (those of us who carried the flame during the Richardson years etc) but we also have some of the very, very worst - moaning, ungrateful, unrealistic, whining, selfish tossers.

Im a firm believer in staying until the final whistle

James Husband sounds a tough nut... god on 'im. We need that sot of player coming through
-
Yeah - I'm right on the fence on this one - so for them a short story.
When I was in Carlisle, my boss (who is now a Carlisle director) walked out of Brunton Park with 5 minutes to go and told Michael Knighton what he thought of him on the way out. Carlisle had lost their place in the football league with a 1:1 against Plymouth.
He's in the car and can't understand why his radio is screaming at him Jimmy Glass (the 'keeper) at Carlisle had made it 2:1, Carlisle were safe. He missed probably the greatest escape in football history.
So Donny fans - its up to you. But think about my boss. I took the piss out of him for weeks!

Don't know where you got that from. A few look to have gone for pies. That's about it.
I was right behind Syers' goal. What a screamer. It was in from the moment it left his foot.
McLean just t**tted Husband. Tit for tat hard man stuff at the moment.
We are right back in this. Looking much better now.

Would gladly have martinez should see all their goals some right crackers
-
Well if Hull are serious about Copps they should make sure they have his signiture before leaving, he and Husband have played really well.
-
Half time. Hull are moving the ball about beautifully at times. Nearly scored again right on the stroke of h/t, but we've settled a bit better after that rocky opening 15 mins. Rivers working hard to get possession, none more so than Husband who has shown some grim determination to get to the ball first tonight.
We seem to be playing a 3-6-1 formation with husband and quinn dropping back to make a 5 as required, which has been quite often.
Despite the rocky start I'm quite enjoying this.

The ref thinks he's Howard Webb, someone should tell him it takes more than being bald

Woodsy just pulled off a brilliant diving save after Copps miscued straight to one of theirs. Awesome save.
Paynter on.
