Just been thinking about how both teams are taking this game, what squad will u have out do u reckon?

At some point during the game both coaches will field what in their mind is the strongest 13 I would imagine. As its more or less been the case ever since the fixture was reintroduced

who cares ? it counts for nothing

That doesnt matter, it's still technically a derby match so yes, i expect radders to put out a full strength squad.

This & bradford is the real tests for our first choice team so lenny will Defo have his strongest team what he's got available for a good 40 mins in each game & he won't want to loose to any games that's his mentality.

So long as i see the first team play, thats fine by me, sick of watching football all the time.

Can't wait for this match, too long since the last one. I think he will put out a full strength team tbh

Am I the only one who disagrees with the derby friendly? Admittedly I've been to a few, but they're a bad idea IMO, eg could they be part of the reason why the competitive ones haven't sold out for years now? (eg the overkill).

Hull will have had 2 games before the Rovers match so i would imagine that Radders will pick something resembling a full strength side with limited substitutes. It is Rovers first hit out so Craig Sandercock will most likely give most of his 30 man squad a run out. Could be a bit of a farce with 2 teams at differing levels of their preparation but its a Derby so i'll be there.

With the friendly game, that makes 4 derbies in a season. IMO, that 2 too many.

It's lost the excitement factor that there used to be a few seasons ago.

No you're not the only one. Four friendlies most seasons with the possibility of six is ridiculous.
