Strangely enough, my foreboding on this game is missing.....I feel quite positive about this one.....
The ref is the least of our problems Saturday.
Can't see beyond a comfortable 2-0 Hull win.
Sorry to interject - no point separet thread...but Real Betis v Rangers is aheck of a game.....1-2 after 20 mins...can we sign some Betis forwards?
Tanner in for Bowler on the right
Colwill to stay at 10
Meite up front
The concern is obviously Ng - if he's out Romeo will just have to remember he plays in a back 4.
Ralls/Adams in for Wintle (he's been poor lately). I also saw that Joel Colwill has a good game against the u21 Jacks last week - has anyone seen enough of him to know if he's knocking on the first team door?
Philogene missing for Hull, but we will be without Ramsey, O'Dowda, Ralls and probably Ng.
Confidence is low. The forwards aren't firing. The midfield (especially without Ralls) is one dimensional and negative.
Logic says an easy win for Hull.
The Christmas Spirit says we could be the banana skin this time.
Alnwick
Romeo - Goutas - McGuinness - Collins
Siopis/Adams - Wintle
Meite - Colwill - Grant
Etete
Subs: Runnarson, Panzo, Adams/Siopis, Rinomhota, Bowler, Robinson, Ugbo, J Colwill, Tanner
Mix it up a bit and stick Grant up top with Robinson out wide
Surely if Bulut doesn't start Alnwick he's officially lost the plot?
Predicted team
Alnwick
Ng McGuinness Goutas Collins
Sio Wintle Adam's
Etete Bowler Grant
I have no hopes whatsoever about this game. I’m tempted not to look at the score.
Ipswich look 2 leagues above us. All because of a positive mindset that they will take the game to the opposition. Lay down a marker early. Our first half effort is pitiful.
Ipswich v Norwich eh, the two nicest sets of fans around surely….do they even bother to segregate?
Alnwick starts

Pretty much as I thought with the exception of Ugbo.
Pleased about the goalie, but why on earth start Ugbo.
Very happy to see Alnwick. Not sure how Adams with Siopis helps the fact that we don't seem to be able to get the ball forward, but to be fair not sure it could be much worse than the last 3 games. Don't rate Ugbo but he's looked far more likely than Meite or Etete to get a scrappy goal.
With Philogene being out for Hull, have to think a goal will nick it either way.
