we we have a young player called Litton he may surprise you

Jack hughes gets a game and jullien nowhere to be seen....mental

It does seem odd.

Tony does seem to have his favourites. The core undroppables seem to be

Gidley
Hughes
Evans
Russell
Brown

It's bat poop crazy!!!!

At what point do we give these younger lads a chance ? It's unfair that we criticise our younger players for errors and mistakes that the make but it's game time where they iron them out first team experience is vital to their development but Aldo first team experience with quality regular first teamers alongside them

It's this point that leads me to have lost faith in tony smith no confidance to give them a real opportunity Williams had an up and down season when given the spot but has grown from it and kicked on a lot! Smith never does that Currie being the exception and also exceptionally good who would have broke into any SL side do it's not like ts has nurtured him.

I genuinely hope we can at least put up a fight against hull and make hull battle for a win and maybe we can snatch it in last few minutes. The players a d coaching staff seriously have their work cut out to turn this around and hull will be a good start

Ratchford
Johnson
Atkins
T King
Evans
Brown
Gidley
Hill
Clark
Sims
Westwood
Hughes
Westerman

Dwyer
Cooper
G King
Livett

Ideally I would have Patton in for Gidley and Lineham (if not suspended) for Evans

Not really...Decs daughter is poorly that's enough reason for HIM not to want to play

I think we need continuity in our pivots, so Ratchford, Brown and Gidley, as our first choice need time to play together.

Yet he has been turning out for the reserves

So the club will risk an injurie force hi to train for the game ad travel just to keep fit. I hope that oarticular rumour is not true and his kid is fine. but if so seems strange Crosby is excused yet Patton not both with understandable circumstances.

This topic has now become offensive. Speculating on the relative seriousness of children's conditions, you should be ashamed.

There is a reason Dom is excused.

Cant tell if I want you to win this one or not, you are bound to win sometime and I dont want it to be next week and I cant see you being 0 from 8

But if you win that might boost your confidence and make it way harder for us...

Yes you would think that some of us want us to lose
(Shameful)

Fully agree Captain, any further speculation like this it will be locked. As it's match day the thread can run as long as we stay on the topic
