Dont confuse us saying Hull will win with negativity.
You wont hear many saying it around Good Friday time.
But the team Morgan will pick shows he really is using this game to try different things out.
And lots of the young kids will be involved.

Having said that iF Rovers won how negative would the Hull fans be then

The vast majority of everyone connected with FC are desperate to see them get a win tomorrow because of the humiliation they've been subjected to in the last 2 seasons and I'm sure Agar sees this as a great opportunity to restore faith with the FC fans and his starting line up indicates he plans to play his strongest available starting side with as least positional changes as possible to enable he gets the win.

Rovers fans of course want a win, but not as much as we've won 5 of the last 6 derbies so it's becoming old hat. Justin Morgan IMO is playing yet another master stroke by starting with an inexperienced side including Latus, Ratu, Watts & Taylor and tipping pressure on Agar whilst giving our young players chance to play in a pressure cooker of an atmosphere for the experience and to see how they respond.

If Rovers' youngsters get a foot-hold in the game in the first 20 mins and Cooke pulls out his usual derby magic, then no doubt Rovers bench will come on and rub some salt in and the Agar would come of out the experience humiliated IMO.

See my post above mate - totally agree. If Agar doesn't get the win then he will really feel the pressure mounting in anticipation of another humiliating season...

Yeah,I am sure you will be bored out of your brains if you win the next league derby.We won`t hear a thing about it.

you talk some and it gets worse every time

Drama queen!

Feeling the pressure in case your has-beens get done by a bunch of kids???

We have been hammered in the papers lately about how great Thunder will be this season with their new signings. So called know alls in the papers and on the radio about this powerful looking squad they now have. About how they will finish comfortably above Rovers. Meanwhile the maestro that is justin morgan has been playing it cool and keeping quiet. Secretly Rovers players are bursting to get onto that kfc pitch and start kicking the black n white pensioner brigade. I predict a comfortable win the for the most famous name in rugby Hull kingston Rovers, a ten point margin.

I think you're missing the point. Rovers have named more players, granted, but have a settled core team that finished 4th in the regular season, and, as Zod said, have won 5 from 6. As you have mentioned on many occasions, you finished above us in the reserves comp as well and have signed Ratu and Hodgson, so these "kids" are not genuine rookies. FC's team will take time to gel, and it's unlikely that things will be the finished article on their first outing. I don't understand why people are tipping FC to win. The hype around the new signings has been excellent, hence fantastic take-up in season and testimonial tickets, but anyone expecting a slick FC performance should give their head a bang.

So looking forward to the game tommorrow, first time attending the "derby" looking forward to a great atmoshpere
Any recomendations of a local eatery/pub should land in Hull at noon, cheers

The team Hull are putting out is far more experianced to the one Rovers are.
The settled team thing doesnt come into it given the starting 13 Rovers are naming.
Ratu and Hodgson - i doubt if they are into double figures for SL appearannces between them so that point is flawed.
Hull have targetted this game as its their only freindly against SL opposition.
If that Rovers team tomorrow wins the negativity will be all over your forum and you know that.

Aren't the following 15 first team regulars from the last 2 seasons aren't playing then?

Shaun BRISCOE
Kris WELHAM
Jake WEBSTER
Liam COLBON
Paul COOKE
Michael DOBSON
Rhys LOVEGROVE
Scott MURRELL
Scott WHEELDON
Clint NEWTON
Ben GALEA
Ben COCKAYNE
Jason NETHERTON
Ben FISHER
David MILLS

Being honest, I don't expect FC to win, just because of the fact they've not played a single game together with big changes having been made. 8 places is a big gap to close, and Reece Lyne, who'll be playing for us, is only 16.
Doesn't mean I'll be all doom and gloom though, unless we incur any injuries.
