I wasn't a fan of Saxton tbh he was way too loyal to players who were past their best.

He had to be loyal to players as we had no money to replace them

That is true but Mackay did get the money to buy Colin Hendry for the Full Members Cup Semi Final .

 One of the finest signings this club ever made !

I think Colin first time round cost about 30 grand. Or it might have been 45, bit difficult remembering now.

Even more of an issue with Hyam out, like he was on Saturday.

How come Hyam got 8/10 in the LT ratings.

i was his debut V Ipswich in the full members cup Semi final.

I think £30k is correct.

Mercer had said the day before that he wasnt playing. So must have been a figment of your imagination.

If it wasn't for Mackay, the premiership win wouldn't of happened.

Football works in mysterious ways and whilst Hull were expected to struggle a bit due to the embargo, it looks like it may have provoked a bit of a backs against the wall, let's fight with what we've got mentality. It's early days mind and a few injuries may end up hurting them as the season progresses. For now though, I think it'll be another struggle for us. That being said, had we held on in Saturdays game we'd be a lot more positive going into the game, fine margins and all that. I'm going for a 1-1 draw.

We really need something from this game. Hull started well in their opening 2 games, so another tough one for us. 

Another loss, making it 4 on the bounce will set even more alarm bells ringing.

Have they gone a bit early with this? Surely tickets won't be going off sale today or is someone down there confused.
