    Camels according to Terry Pratchett:


    ​
    The camel in the book assumed its name was "You Bastard", because that it what people shouted at it.

    Lots of debuts tonight I'd guess. Clackstone and Batty, maybe Mannion.

    So that's why you've always got the hump.

    Ehab is doing it as a way to swipe at OLM. The teamsheet tonight rather than saying "Hull City" followed by "Tigers" will instead say "Hull City" "u23s".

    I think you should do one also, and see how they compare.

    Hope Slutsky truly goes U23, instead of a smattering. It actually makes this game interesting, to me anyway.

    I never want to City to lose but, unless we only play U23 players each round we play, we can't afford to progress this year.

    You can always afford to be successful. If winning isn't the aim what is the point.

    I'm sure Mazuch will play as well as Dio.

    Not true – in my opinion.

    It’s regularly said that extra games cause fatigue which decreases performance levels; and extra games also increase the likelihood of injuries.

    The former is somewhat debatable whereas the latter is fact.

    With regard to the former, I think that some of this is psychological. However, as long as players and managers believe it to be the case, then it is very real.

    In my opinion, runs in the League Cup and FAC two seasons back, were a big factor in us not taking automatic promotion. I remember rival forums willing us to go further in both comps for this reason. There are many other examples of this happening at other clubs.

    Of course it’s debatable and everyone likes to win, but maybe you need to choose your victories especially with a squad like ours.
