hopefully have enough to beat them, as long as our forwards get on top early, think we will go ok

Just don't get playing Howarth he is so average as a hooker we may as well use Hadley off the bench.Hadley may be limited as a hooker but would give us a lot more flexibility.
I am pleased that Rankin has retained the full back spot but I still think we would be better to persevere with Rankin off the bench to spell Houghton and use Shaul at full back now we have most of the pack fit to play.

I fancy us to sneak this by a couple of points , must be about time we won a close game . Can't be believe we have 8 start at bookies .

regrettably that's essentially what we lack when Houghton's on. He scoots , he tackles , that's it for the most part. We need more there , it's a critical position and most teams have more guile , brains and flair there. With Cunningham and Howarth in the wings we're destined to struggle for some time.

I was told at the shop this morning that we have sold 900 tickets!

Oh, I can believe it alright.
We haven't won there for 3 years.
They finished 7 places above us last season.
Currently above us this season.

Oh, that all?

For pre sale I would say that's good seen as though the vast majority will just turn up and pay on the gate

Was going to say, can never remember buying a pre ticket for cas game

In our past 41 games we have only managed 1 back to back win. So the odds don't look great for tonight. I hope they improve on this horrendous stat later!

hoping for an FC win, but not confident, will need an 80 minute performance.

If we did everything because of history , it would be a boring life . So you think we"ll finish in the bottom 4 again , saints win grand final again , man city the premiership etc etc etc . Are you one of these that as the same routine week after week year after year !

So you think bookies shouldn't take past games, form, league position & previous years league position into account?

chelsea will win the prem, other than that pretty much spot on

Maybe form and maybe league position but not always . And definatly not previous games over the years . If so , hull will hardly win at Cas again , and if u go on previous league position hull would have won last season . It's all about the present not the past surely and Cas are not that good this year in my eyes apart from meeting Wigan at the right time .
