Dull Pre-Match Thread - Sat 24th March, 3pm.

Back in training does not equate to being match fit.

I hope you were joking!

Amateur mistake right there... I'm going to do a cheeky edit of my post

[NeilyBoy]

I hope the hull fans don't do their intimidating 'mauled by the tigers' song.

That. Is. Hilawious.

I'm loving the guy at the very end with his hands on his head as if to say "what have we just done?" lol

[ThurnbyLodgeFox]

My team would be

Kasper

Peltier Mills SSL Koncheskey

Bamba

Marshall Dyer

Nugent Beckford Schlupp

possible 4-1-2-3? I think Mills should be brought back in (many will disagree) and play Bamba in a CDM role to cover for the lack of midfielders today. 3 up top or possibly play Schlupp in a CAM role

That is the most cringe worthy, thing I have ever seen!! Errrrrrr

[Cropwellfox]

Would love to see Byrne involved today - was doing well at Bury before nasty injury earlier this season - we won't though, it'll be something like:

Kasper, SSL, bamba, Morgan, Konch , Marshall, peltier, oneofthethreedoubtfulones, dyer, beckford, nugent subs Kennedy, mills, schlupp, Howard, hopper

Thats is the campest song ever!

[leicestercity_]

I think Wellens is 99% ruled out.

Dannzy is captain if he passes his fitness test so that almost confirms Wellens is out.

[onecapwonder]

If we are finally giving up on the play-offs I'd love to see Bamba in midfield, he clearly thinks he's Yaya Toure so for once lets let him play like him. Also given we're playing Forrest on Tuesday I'd maybe rest a few players in positions we can. Kennedy in for Konch, Kennedy has looked impressive in all the games I've seen him play, and maybe Schlupp for one of the front two, probably Beckford, he plays more like him than Nugent.

So KS; Pantsil, Morgan, SSL, Kennedy; Peltier, Bamba; Dyer, Nugent, Marshall; Schlupp/Beckford. Lining up as a 4-2-3-1, Peltier sits deep, Bamba does what he wants and Nugent plays deeper to help link up the play. It'll never happen and would probably be a disaster if the team was ever sent out like this but it'd be fun. If Danns is fit then swapping him for Peltier and having Peltier at right back would probably be the most sensible line up given the injuries. I don't think playing Bamba as a central midfielder in a 4-4-2 would be wise, I don't think he'd be disciplined enough positionally.

hoping for a win today

[seenitall]

I think we will win our next 4 games

[Tielemans63]

I'm hoping Millsy is back today. As rocky as we were with him in the back four - we're even worse without him!

[darko2k7]

I think NP will go with this depending on fitness .

--------------Kasper----------------

Peltier--Morgan--Ssl--Koncheskey

Marshall--Danns-Drinkwater--Dyer

----------Beckford--Nugent--------

2-1 City Danns, Beckford , Att- 23,457.

We will see it is not impossible but the likelihood of it happening is zilch. I think the key thing is finishing the season well so we have some momentum for next season provided we don't loose our key layers in the summer.

Decent side that. It'll be good to see Drinkwater play in his natural position.

As it's been reported on the OS that Wellens, Drinky, and Danns are doubts, then it might scupper any chances we have of even getting a draw. Let's hope it's some sort of mind-game that NP is playing, and everyone is fit as a fiddle.

You're back to your 'mind-games'

The only mind games being played by us are to make our team believe they they don't need to defend.

Good stuff as usual DG

[MikeyT]

Heading off soon. Quite worried to see what midfield we put out due to injuries. Hoping Danns makes it.

So Jeffrey Schlupp just tweeted having a pre match meal with Moore, Moore starting?

[Guppy]

Moore and Hopper both travelled to Blackpool but weren't in the squad so might not mean anything.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Moore start though if Pelts is needed in midfield. More likely than Bamba IMO, didn't Pelts play cm at Huddersfield quite a bit?

Might have Moore RB with Peltier into holding midfield or RM with Marshall playing CM?
