Team tonight

[BoroMart]

we're not making hte play offs, but it would be good to finish the season strong and keep the slither of hope going a little longer.

I'd also play 5 at the back,Hull play old school 442, so a 352 allows you to have a spare man vs the 2 strikers, and force the opposition wingers to play deeper in midfield otherwise our 5 get a massive overload.

.............................Dieng
...............Ayling...RVDB...Clarke
Jones................................................Engel
..........Hackeny..Howson...O'Brien
...............................Azaz
...............................Lath

Don't think he'll change the team that has dragged us back into the mix.

It's been changed multiple times in this good run.

 

[AytonMews]

No point setting up defensively, a draw is no use to us

 

[Middlesbrough123]

If we have a cb now fit I don’t see us playing howson there tonight

 

[Ex Footy Legs]

Think we might go a little bit more solid tonight...

.......................Dieng

.......Ayling...RVDB...Clarke
Jones.................................Thomas

Howson...Barlaser...O'Brien

.........Greenwood
...................Latte Lath


Also, think we'll be in the lucky white kit

If he puts Jonny in midfield, I’ll be happy, however, he hasn’t played in there for 3games or 4 weeks.
It’s a different type of stamina fitness required for central midfield versus at the back.
I expect he will be blowing out of his backside after 75 mins - I hope he’s subbed at the right time because that could cost us dearly!

That seems logical, but I wonder if playing in a front footed attacking way might play into Hulls hands, they're tactics are to sit deep and catch teams on the counter. We might just have to be patient, if it's 0-0 after 65/70 minutes that's not bad for us. Their crowd will get jumpy, especially with their recent home form and hopefully we can catch them with the old 1-2 rope-a-dope sucker punch!

. Great post. I tend to agree although I’ll be bricking it if it’s 0-0 after 70 mins but their crowd will get jumpy and scratchy applying pressure to them fcukers on the pitch.

Come on you mighty Reds.

Trust in the project and Michael

If we beat Hull, Ipswich and Leeds in succession we would deserve to be in top six. Probably still wouldn't but it would put pressure on Norwich for sure.

The team selection will be fascinating tonight….

And let’s hope could and Giles are still out

 

[Kevcharben]

Anyone but Greenwood

 

[Tryasize10]

Anyone but Greenwood

He's ideal for a game like this. We need an edge

He's played ok in the last couple of games. I don't mind him being in, like you say his aggressive chewy nature could help us too.

Norwich play Preston next, whatever that result is means we have the chance of gaining points on at least one of them.

Preston have a nightmare run in. playing Norwich, Southampton, QPR and Leicester.

QPR are the only ones not in the playoff Mix.

So basically do whatever he needs to to drop Dan?

He chose option 4
