Match Day Thread Hull City v Rotherham

No worries for this one. Gotta sort out those away days nige.
City 4-1

 

Rotherham is likely to come and try and frustrate us and hit us on the counter. If we can get a goal early on to settle the nerves then we should see it out comfortably.

If however, we fail to get the early goal, it could turn into a frustrating evening.

Neither De Wijs or Burke sound match fit yet, so I would go with Ridgewell & McKenzie at the back, and also rest Kane and put Lichaj at right back.

 

Pugh in for Bowen too - young Jarrod didn’t look fully on it on Saturday, wonder if he is still feeling the effects of that kick at Blackburn.

 

Must win tonight or I'm officially letting go of the dream.
Expected this to be a six pointer, ha
3-0 unless he plays Martin then 2-0 or if he tinkers with the defence then 2-1

 

A win against an out of form and low-placed Rotherham could take us back up to 9th if Forest lose to WBA and Villa and Swansea lose away on Wednesday. At 46 points we'd be 4 off the play-off places and still in the running with DeWijs and Burke probably back for Brentford.

 

We would still be 7 off when Bristol win ?

 

8 points from a possible 120 in championship away games ... step forward City

 

anyone know if the game will be on follow

 

Rotherham haven't won away all season I believe? Whenever teams are on a bad run they always always end it against Hull City. We'll lose. Damn.

 

It's on sky sports red button job if u have it desfrog

 

Yeah, like Sabre says.

It's on SkySports if you have it, if not there'll be streams.

 

Fair play to Rotherham for still bothering despite their irrelevance. City 3 nowt.

 

Nigel said that if we had taken our chance and stopped them scoring on Saturday the result would have been different. So the lads know what they need to do tonight. Simple, really.

 

They drew 0.0 at Millwall last away game, however we're almost safe now and every point is a bonus from now on. Atkins said they are a big side so I would imagine they will be a danger at set pieces and it would be good to get a couple of the big lads back. This is one of those games were you look at the league table and think they are 4th bottom, were at home so should beat them which we should how ever no games are easy and the team have to do much more than Saturday. That applies to our two wingers who have been great this season but Saturday were way below par. More effort and we can do um.

 

Pretty much an Einstein, that, Castro.

 

Haven't they one of the best set-piece records in the Champs?

 

You have to go to managers school, get badges and qualifications to know stuff like that.

 

A few have mentioned we looked tired on Saturday and if that's the case, we'll probably have the same problem tonight after just two days rest and the lack of options. We want to play our best players game in, game out, but are we going to run them into the ground?

If we are going rest the likes of Bowen and Grosiki, maybe tonight might be the best time to do it.

 

Poor things.
However, might be interesting to finally see what Milinkovc is capable of, and Pugh
