will be at Cas and i hope i see Griffin playing. If he is playing i am a bit more hopeful we will get a result.
With the injuries, the way cas are playing and then still not having Griffin i thought we could be on the end of a tonking

Is it Durham Giant,or is your real name Negative Nigel
FFS man get a grip,because that squad of players are so possitve you would not believe it.The game on friday was lost because Hull were given too much easy ball and feild postion,not because this or that player were missing stop listening to the comic threesome on sky.
hmm.
i am not wanting to be negative but nor am i wanting to be a cheerleader and to sweep everything under the carpet.
I was making a very simple point that without the following players Griffin, Crabtree, Finnigan, Aspinwall, Raleigh and Lunt that we would have been looking very light in the forwards and would have found it very difficult to beat Cas away. if some of those plyers are available then i would be more confident. hardly negative just realistic.
They are in a position where confidence levels could not be higher, who have 4 wins, who appear to be playing very well and have no significant injury worries.
If confidence wins matches then then according to your arguement we will be fine. However maybe Cas's confidence will be enough for them to win. Alternatively the determining factor will be based on the players on the pitch and their performance. Confidence is not everything.
Still you keep saying everything is alright ( i wish i could occupy your world) whilst i will live in a reality where we will judge things by performances and results.
Hopefully we will not make the mistakes we did last week and not gift our opponents the ball on a regular basis. I am certain we cannot play as badly again.
But we are still up against a team who are difficult to beat at the jungle. So we will need a team who can tackle well and forwards who can get on top of our opponents. hopefully Korkidas, Mason and Jackson can do that with all their confidence. me i would feel happier if i was relying on a confident Crabtree, Griffin and Raleigh to do it.
