Been good for us Reynolds but would never have been a first choice player moving forward. For us, it really will be a Hull derby with academy prospects really at the forefront. I make about 10 players in our 17

1. Moy
2. Martin
5. Briscoe
7. Charles
9. Balmforth
11. Lane
12. Kirby
13. Fash
14. Gardner
15. Jebson

That’s without including people like Litten, Laidlow and Armstrong who might get a call up and Houghton and Staveley who realistically would be playing if fit.

Going to be a tough day against a very good rovers side but the future is bright.

This is a decent rover's team but I would not judge them very very good

The key is to slow them down but with all of the players left and missing with injuries it's a tall order. We've seen rovers looking completely inept when teams slow down their quick PTB. Let them get a roll on and they'll muller us

Have a feeling someone will be wearing the famous number 50 shirt on Saturday

what's famous about it?

Maybe it's famous as no team has had to use it before??

Could there be a snake in it??

Have to say regarding Reynolds that losing him will be a huge blow as despite our reservations when it was announced he was joining us, he has played well and been an integral part of the turn around.

Best of luck to him, in a short career he has to look after himself and family and the security of a permanent deal is a priority.

Jake the snake? Naaaaaah.

Another loss on the cards, but hopefully we give them a scare. We’ve been in within 8 points in the past 5 games and are clearly more competitive.

Reynolds will be a big miss, looking forward to seeing Charles again. Balmforth at 9 with Smith.

Sao fit or number 50 to play?!

Jack Charles as good as ruled out for Saturday, it will most likely be Smith in the Halves should we not dip into the loan market.

I’d be very surprised if we didn’t see Jake Connor at 6 for you on Saturday from the rumblings from some people ITK.

Fine for a loan, but not sure he’s the best head around the changing room especially with comments made etc. Easy for me to say as a non FC fan but surely worth just going with some youth and add another in to an excellent crop of youngsters coming through this year.

Itd definitely make the derby more interesting (and competitive) if Conor came back! What's our other option, Morgan Smith's safe kicks all afternoon?

What comments did he make?

Medforth would be next off the ranks, but he is injured. Harman potentially. Going lower than that, Callum Kemp looks like he could be pretty special, but he's 16/17?

Kye Armstrong??
