I am not sure what to expect, we all just keep getting surprise after surprise, which is so refreshing.You cannot keep the smile off my face at the moment and may it long continue.

Wouldn't risk Horne, especially as we have Ellis. No need in playing him if he's 100% and potentially worsening his strain/injury.

Apart from that I'd go with the same line-up, with either Nicklas or Kent on the bench.



McKinnon

Sharp

Turner

Yeaman

Briscoe

Ellis

Seymour

Lynch

Houghton

Radford

Manu

Tickle

Whiting



Aspinwall

Bowden

Pitts

Kent/Nicklas

McKinnon at FB, with either Kent or Nicko on the bench. Kent would give us some better rotation in the forwards and Nicko could give Houghton a valuable rest.



In Gentle We Trust.

Even I know Hornie wont play and I live in the sticks - PG told when we were on the bus

I'm a fan of Richard Horne - his effort in the derby was outstanding, but I'm desperate to see a full Seymour and Ellis partnership, just to see how it goes. If Horne is not 100%, and I very much doubt he is and with McKinnon back this should be the game in my opinion.

Agree.



I know they'll be a few knocks within the team, but let's not play anyone with an injury. Let's play the fittest team. Horne will be back soon enough and hopefully so will some of the pack. It's a long season. let's manage the squaad right. Ellis will be fine and welcome the opportunity to shine.

you miss the bradford game then when horne was fb and ellis partnered seymour in the halves?

will radders play again? seemed to say thats it when interviewed after, and he would need all week to recover from the derby. kent didnt play in the u20s derby, maybe he will play instead of radders

Much as I would obviously like to see an FC win, I think this one is more about the performance than the actual result. Saying that the morale in the camp is so high, I do believe we have a great chance of a win.

A win at Hudds would really shock me. Its a difficult game at the best of times but with a depleted pack and on the back of a derby it will be a big ask. I'd accept defeat if it meant winning the CC match. Hudds seemed to have a stroll against Salford.



If we keep it tight early then we could win it, if we let them start well then we could fall away.

I would have been over the moon with two points this weekend when the teams were announced for the Derby on Wednesday. I didn't think myself we would get any, but if we did I knew which two I would want. Its a really big ask on Monday and I wonder how we are approaching it knowing how much importance the Club have said they places on a good Cup run?



I'm just going to enjoy it whatever, coming off a game against Salford when compared with a local Derby is a big plus for the home team physically and emotionally anyway, just enjoy!

Anyone know what time the bus leaves for supporters who booked through the Fc shop?
