Huddersfield at Home : Sat Apr 02, 2016 11:17 pm  

Next up Huddersfield.

Will Brough be playing and if so, who for?

If he did sign for Hull, would he get into the team at the moment?

Either way, great opportunity to strengthen our improving position. Despite their lowly position, this is still a tough fixture, but hope our form, confidence and team spirit will carry us through to another victory.

The Brough rumour appears to have been exposed on another thread.
That apart, what would be good, for a couple of reasons, is that Shudders beat the Tigers today.
It would focus the FC mindset on it not being an easy fixture, and also keep one of our rivals for the coveted 4th/5th place, well behind us.

The downside of course is that it gives a boost to a Huddersfield team that is horribly lacking in confidence.

And since when was 5th "coveted," it's arguably the worst place to finish. It's like finishing 4th in the 100m final.

Ha it is now, think he was forgetting about the new structure.

Radford will have a couple of really tough choices to make. The main ones being in the back line. It's tough on both of them but I'd leave out Yeaman and Michaels if it was up to me. Carlos and Talanoa just offer that bit more imo.

Talanoa
Tuimavave
Fonua
Naughton
Pryce

I agree about 5th, although it would be an improvement and avoids the Middle 8's, it's not the Top 4.

As for other matches, not bothered who wins to affect future form. All we can do is worry about ourselves. If we prepare well and stick to our game plan, then our results and our position will look after itself.

I'm far from convinced Talanoa should walk straight back into the team. Neither Michaels nor Yeaman deserve to be dropped. However we need to find a place for Carlos.
