v Hull City (a) - FA Cup R3 - 11/01/26

[onlyonejackwalker]

I have never wanted Rovers to lose any match and today is no different.

I hope we play our strongest available team and give the travelling fans a great day out.

Hull have suprised me a tad this year and enjoyed some very good performances and results. 

Feels like a free hit with low expectations.

Hull are a good side. How we won there 3-0 in the league beggars belief. Because of that win I think we'll lose narrowly.

[davulsukur]

Brandon Powell is in the travelling squad. As is Tyjon.

[Tom]

Can’t see Cantwell or Baradji on the video of players arriving, nor Jospeh and Higgins but maybe they didn’t show them all. 

I think the captain should be watching the team either way.

I thought Powell was a LWB?

[roversfan99]

That team is grim.

Must be up there for poorest quality starting 11 that we’ve ever fielded

I am not sure I have ever seen as big a no confidence vote as that xi and squad and Riberio and Pickering! Really both of them need to go this window as clearly have absolutely no future with us.

Will be interesting if it really is De Neve at LWB and Powell further forward or the other way round.

 

[DutchRover]

Wait Powel, Henrikson and Dlamini is our front 3? God help us

[joey_big_nose]

That forward line is hilarious... Hope the young lads can surprise us (as they have many times this season).

[Comfortably numb]

Trying to work out the system.

Maybe 3-4-3 with Powell and Diamini either side of Henriksson?

Not expecting anything today but some positive performances from the youngsters would be something to take from the game

i can understand val resting a few but **** me i dont think we`de score a goal if we played for a week with that forward line,one can only hope hull are putting out a similar line up and are disinterested

the wonder kid tyjon on the bench🙂

[Ricky]

Have Hull made a load of changes as well? 

[Ricky]

Just checked and their fans are saying they’ve put out a much stronger team than they all thought they would

Their manager said they were going full strength earlier in the week

I can’t recall a weaker first 11. We’ve fielded better reserve teams in the past. At least Toth should get plenty of match practice. I’m just glad I didn’t trudge up to my sons to watch the game now. The teams we were fielding in the old 3rd division would put six past that team.

Thanks.

Seemed really odd to put a proven liability at LWB and play an actual LWB out of position.

Four from their starting line up v Stoke but even so they have experience.

Toth will be busy!
