Never been away, just post occsionally, quite happy to sit back and watch the fish bowl.lol but I'm bl**dy excited now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because he used to say everything was "mint" not sure if he still does like.

What time is the official squad released today?

He is called Mint because when he where's his tape around his head he looks like a polo mint.

am getting nervous

squad announced at 3pm

Thought it was 2

Use caution it could end up; Full English, 6 to 8 pints, you fall asleep your mates leave you there for a so called joke, you miss the match but wake up for the last five minutes on the pubs tele, watch Hull lose wish you hadn’t bothered, have a few more ales, eat a dodgy ruby, fall out with your mates when they come for you and chuck your guts outside. Only joking, it’s anybody’s. Hope you have a great day have a few for me!

Lineham deffo out

I'd have Whiting at 2, Horne on the bench and leave Crookes out.

Squad is Briscoe,crookes,crooks,Ellis,green,heremaia,Horne,holdsworth , houghton ,lynch,miller,o'meley ,Pitts, Shaul,tickle,watts,westerman,whiting,yeaman

You'd have our slowest back in place of our fasted on the wing.?

Ever hear the old saying "forwards get you to Wembley and the backs will win the cup for you"?

We need as much pace as is available. Shaul, Briscoe and Crookes are the fastest we have available. All three should play (in the absence of Lineham)

No reflection on Rich Horne, but I don't see a place for him in the 17.

Horne and one of Pitts or Green to make way.

Horne and Green to miss out, for me, if everyone is fit.

Biggest concern is the centres.

If one of them is injured then we could either move Whiting to centre and Green to the bench, or play Horne at centre with Whiting on the bench. I'm not sure which of these two options I prefer.

Happy with pretty much any combination from that 19, given potential injury scenario at the final hooter on Friday night.
