If a player is not available then a player is not available, it's as simple as that lol. Doesn't matter on the quality, they can't play and we have 10 who can't play.

I would rather know at the start like this and know whose not playing unlike the good Friday game where we named players that were never going to play and be totally deflated when I got to the game and finding out.

Without wanting to turn this into a who can pee the highest contest as far as injuries go,its a shame both teams are not at full strength for what I hope will be a great spectacle.

Definitely, would just love to see two Hull teams going at it fair and square in a proper Derby.

It's all about the result. The winning set of fans won't give a fig if the losing side had injuries. If we can match em up front then we have a decent chance .

I agree about the result, but as fans, injuries to players is always a disappointment. I don`t like to see it whoever the player is. P.S. I presume you all know Rovers favourite Hull player is included in the squad.

Yeaman possibly playing doesn't fill me with any trepidation but yes if FC win and he scored it wouldn't be pleasant.Connor has replaced him as public enemy No.1 .With Jewitt missing for us I can't see any of our lads getting up your noses as our pack are about as niggly as the Chuckle brothers? McGuire not playing also takes away your panto villian. I expect Taylor to go head hunting and Connor to be a pain.To be frank I don't know what to expect from that Rovers squad?

Personally I always liked Clint Newton,he always tried to wind us fans up, but its all part of the game. I have always rated McGuire t.b.h.

Oh how we miss Clint, he could actually back it up on the pitch unlike some though.

You'll likely have a stronger team than the one that pished Wigan last week whereas we'll have a much weaker one than that which lost to less cats a couple of weeks back. Rovers strong favourites

Are you at it as well.

Adam Quinlan, Junior Vaivai, Ryan Shaw, Mose Masoe, Maurice Blair, James Greenwood, Ben Kavanagh, James Donaldson, Chris Clarkson, Tommy Lee, Liam Salter, Josh Johnson, Chris Atkin, Kieren Moss, Jordan Walne, Joe Cator, Danny Tickle, Elliot Wallis, Aaron Smith

How do you expect these to line up?

2nd derby of the season, 2nd derby without Lunt & McGuire. Great.

Off to pub
