I think if he plays Houghton for 80 minutes regardless of the result questions will need to be asked of Hodgson coaching abilities. Surely when we are up against 2 very good and pacy hookers we are having joey interchanging with Houghton at 9

On the other hand he might

Tbf thought Balmforth would have been in the 17

The weather’s going to be hot too when we play. Rotation will be essential.

Shaul?

To be honest, I heard similar that players aren’t convinced by him.

Not just the ones you think as well. Pressure will be on him to deliver soon I reckon.

Who every is coach some arnt gonna like them. When Radford was here was the same. Powell at wires. Hodgson trying to get FC on the right track. He's bound to put noses out

You got me going off topic now you swine lol

Not a massive fan of Hodgson

But the players are 100% the problem

I was told there's a few .

Saw the 21-man lists earlier.

Had visions of McGuire and Hodgson playing egg-bacon to make up the last few places in their squads. I assume that reference makes sense outside just those who played coats for goalposts football on Gillshill Primary playground during the ‘81-‘82 season (school year)? If we’d kept the COHA, that should have been how they did the draft picks, imo.

Anyway, I digress. Scratch game, could be anything. Might even be fun, in a slightly bizarro kind of way. It’s weird that it is a mid-table clash but feels like it is being played among survivors of a shipwreck while they await rescue.

No Laidlaw, Severs or Hookem for the academy today. Guess those 3 are all definitely playing tomorrow

Martin playing on the wing.

Stood near Hodgson at the academy game before it started, he was on the phone Simms agent, maybe Harrison, 5 on debut tomorrow including Laidlaw and Charlie (Severs).

Also sounds like Shaul has played his last game for Hull and maybe gone next week.

Top work Secret Agent Dave

Shaul was offered to clubs last year so I guess it was only a matter of time .

Good win for Toulouse. Wigan v Saints next.

Wakey are in deep do do

We know they'll sack Poaching the week before they play us.

Are Makinson and Walmsley not playing? I wish sky would mention it more

Maybe Cas with Hampshire and Trueman out long term

Huge win that for TO .

Another good game. IMO not a red. Onto CA's v leeds

Would he get a game infront of Evalds?

Crazy finish in the Saints / Wigan game

Probably not, but must be lacking numbers if Eden is playing at 6.
