I know this won't happen but:
Johnstone
Mears Dawson Hegazi Gibbs
Livermore Barry Field
Phillips Sako Barnes
Subs: Myhill, Adarabioyo, Townsend, Morrison, Rodriguez, Gayle, Edwards.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE.
No Brunt, no Robson - Kanu, no Bartley - oh he's suspended - YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!
Would rather Dawson at rb and hope Hegazi fit to play centre back.
Love to see the 433 but am resigned to seeing us play 3412. However with Bartley suspended and Hegazi & Barry injured we may be forced to go to a back 4 unless he throws field in there like we have done in the cup games
JohnstoneWould love that .

Dependant on how the injuries shape up, this is what I would like to see:

Looking forward to a lie in, a good breakfast and a nice stroll to the ground! Be nice to leave the car at home for once!
We really need to a good solid performance (and a win) to set us up for the Leeds game.

Any pubs that you can recommend? We arrive around 11.00am by train.
I don't live at that end of town, I live about 3 miles away in East Hull. However, there is a 'spoons called the Humber Pilot about 5 mins walk from the train station, the stadium is about a 30 minute walk from there too. There are plenty of other pubs in the town centre though, not sure what they'll be like if you're wearing colours though.
Avoid the Tigers Lair on Anlaby Road unless you want to mix with racists or dickhead pretend "lads", I think it's strictly home fans only anyway.
If you aren't wearing colours, then you can always get a taxi to Princes Avenue which has a number of bars/bistros but be prepared to pay about £4 a pint. Next to the ground is Walton St Working men's club which has good cheap beer and is away fan friendly (I think).
Also in the city centre is a pub called The Rugby Tavern which is a Samuel Smith pub, it's cheap (about £2 a pint!), the beer is excellent and it's a proper pub (no jukebox and loads of old blokes playing dominoes!). It's behind the BBC building in Queens Gardens (just ask a local).
Nah, I've never liked this only playing with 10 men system.when HRK is on the pitch we usually play with ten men.
I have 1 spare ticket for sale if anyone is interested - face value of course.
PM me if interested.
Thanks Hullbaggie. Plenty of drink for thought👍
No worries, I forgot to say that Princes Avenue is about a 20 min walk from the ground too, it's where a lot of home supporters drink and is very popular on a Saturday evening for drinking/dining if you or anyone else is staying over.
Whats the parking like around there mate?
Last time I went the 1970's / 80's pub right by the ground (Brickmakers??) was great before the game (quality staff / average beer), but got pretty larrey after the game.
Can't think of the name but the pub near the park next to the ground is one to avoid , right on the road near some traffic lights.
Had a sign out saying away fans welcome then it got pretty nasty in there a few years back if i recall right.
I think you mean the George or St George (something like that)..it's now closed!
It did indeed have a sign welcoming away fans but was always best avoided by away fans.
Weirdly N6 is showing as having 5 seats remaining when it was sold out on Monday...must be returns!
NE has 12 tickets left, E1 has 21 tickets and E2 is now on sale with 128 remaining.
I had a look on the Hull City website and they haven't sold too many with most parts of the ground having plenty of tickets for sale.
Visited the George a couple of times over the years with no problems whatsoever.
It was closed the last time I went there in 2016.
Have they knocked it down yet?
We ended up in the New Walton Club.
It was OK in there.

I can take no more 3 at the back. Time to end the experiment and play to our strengths...System wise I fully agree , no issue trying something else but the 3 gets worse not better

Deffo require Edwards on the bench and if Gayle is fit he starts for rodriguez
1-1 bore draw me thinksNah..
Nah..Honestly... God help us if we can only get 1 point from 12. 2-1 win to us, gayle and Morrison to score
We will be under the cosh losing 2 or 3-0 And Darren will shoehorn HRK in to replace a proper forward, to watch out the rest of the match.
Gayle and Bartley are not in today’s squas
Bartley is suspended isn't he?
Gayle and Bartley are not in today’s squas
Yes, Bartley is suspended. The starting line up is: (no particular order)take one Phillips away and replace with Livermore.
Johnstone, Morrison, Hegazi, Phillips, Adararaioyo, Brunt, Townsend, Barnes, Phillips, Rodriguez, Dawson.
Subs: Myhill, Robson-Kanu, Mears, Sako, Burke, Hoolahan, Field
Moore's a joke manager with that line up against a side struggling like hull.is it 6 across the back?

Even 5 in midfield is a joke.Moore is s hit scared of losing and playing for a drawid love to know what the correct answer is, from the players available and our performances away from home so far the extra man could be really useful.

Pleased with the extra man in midfield, but it is a shame that it has taken an injury to Gayle to force Moore into doing it...Extra man in midfield would be useful, but Livermore Brunt and Morrison together don't make more than one. Need passing and vision in the middleto take and use the ball as well as the ability to get forward in support, and able to run back at speed to tackle or cover. You cannot have this with the old men we use.
Still not happy with three at the back but pleased Bartley is suspended.
Weak ineffective midfield who do not appear to be able to pass water or make space to take the ball. Scared or couldn't care less defenders. Two of whom once looked ok in the prem and a striker who has never been confident he can score (probably with good reason). How are we expecting anything from this lot? about the only thing they are good at is giving the opposition the ball and tryimg to make them look good. It becomes more apparent every match that these players cannot or will not play the way the management team weant them to. The solution must be to play some of the others at any age who might just be able to do a better job. Please Mr Moore give em a go and save me from having to watch this dross from experienced players

I think you're being harsh on Livermore. He's dropping in and looking for the ball but Brunt is nowhere to be seen most of the time so ends up surrounded by Hull players. What is he supposed to do there? All he can do is lay it back to the defence and look for the ball again. He's covered a lot of ground in midfield so far trying to get things moving.
Keystone Kops?
Whats happened? We were so competitive a few weeks ago and we're falling to pieces.
We're out of the top 6 and Birmingham are in.
Keystone Kops?yes keystone cops and borrowed time for someone

At what point do we accept that the Moore experiment is a complete disaster? Quite obvious that Gayle was masking his complete lack of managerial ability, tactically he is one of the worst I’ve ever seen.Jeknins wont change anything, as long as we get to 51 pts to stay in the league Moore will stay and the mid table championship club target will be on track and the full circle will be complete.
I'm sure someone will be along in a bit to tell me that it's all ok as we're top half still so we are doing ok.
If Moore insists on making defenders who can't pass the ball, pass the ball he deserves sacking. Suicidal tactics.
The team are in a dip worrying times lack of investment in the summer is now showing itself.haven't played well all season, Moore had to change it at the back and use different personal in midfield, Barnes and Gayle have been papering over the cracks
Sakho needs bringing on asap.
It'll be HRK and we all know it.
Blues currently above us in the table just confirms how good a manager Monk is in comparison to Moore
If Moore insists on making defenders who can't pass the ball, pass the ball he deserves sacking. Suicidal tactics.
Sadly, you are correct.
We are not getting on the ball midfield and setting up chances. Nobody getting hold of it. Happy with a simple pass sideways. Barnes has gone off the boil. Hull deserve to be in front. Moore has got to do something. We have to take the game to Hull, not just stroll around in midfield.
Fixed it for you.Thanks its no secret I wanted monk before he went blues
haven't played well all season, Moore had to change it at the back and use different personal in midfield, Barnes and Gayle have been papering over the cracks
Yep HRK for Barnes will do that won't it?I hope that was an attempt at irony..
Not great. Goal from a corner so not necessarily a fault of playing 3 at the back though certainly an issue around organisation.
I hope that was an attempt at irony..
Getting impossible to defend him when he keeps making the same mistake week after week. 2-0 looks far more likely than 1-1. No striker on the bench:
Hegazi not better than Bartley.
Hegazi is better than Bartley, neither are up to this system though.
We are gradually looking better as Hull drop deeper though.
Hegazi has been embarrassing this half, just ran the ball straight out of play. Terrible player, as is Bartley.
:D
He needs to sack Jones. The 3 at the back is his baby.Needs to sack himself for dereliction of duty
Stop Barnes and Gayle, stops Albion.Correct abd found out - worrying times ahead - can see a battering next week again
Big Dave is turning into Alan Irvine
We all saw it comingSome didn't and probably still do not - deluded
Getting pig sick of this season already. Some completely unacceptable results and today is another clear example of how far we are from going back up.Weed be an even bigger embarrassment in the prem
We all saw it comingNot all, some.
Not all, some.
Look forward to the Moore defenders coming on tonight. Our performances finally getting what they've deserved, 3 losses on the bounce. No chance we're getting promoted under DM sadly.
We had no control when Brunt was on the pitch and Field actually improved things in the middle.
Wish people would stop crying out for Yacob. We don't need another slow midfielder who can't pass in there. It's not the breaking up of play that's causing us problems it's when we have the ball that we don't have enough people around the direction of play.
That should shut the happy clippers up. That was disgraceful. Never looked like scoring. Surely we wont be hearing the bad day at office line - or they areca good team we should not expect to beat. Two points from 12 and barely laid a glove on any of the four teams. Mostly outplayed and certainly outcos he’d.
Very depressing with some “tougher†games to come
A blip became a crisis today. We were very poor, the 3 man defence constantly switching positions in-game is untenable. The kids everyone is hailing were dreadful Field, Burke and Barnes. We lost all control we had first with Brunts injury and even moreso when inexplicably we took Morrison off.
Very bad day at the office for Darren. We didn't threaten at all.
I was at the game and can assure you he didn't.
Earlier this season we were attacking and causing alot of danger from both wings. Now, Phillips hasn't gone past players since his injury, and Gibbs has been out. And neither Tosin nor Townsend can provide anywhere near the same service. Also Barnes has gone off the boil, whether opposition have done their homework on him I don't know. The build up at times was painfully slow, as we push it sideways and backwards. Even a basic defence like Hull have plenty of time to get back and organise. And too many simple errors in the build up, overhit passes etc. Some of the players looked very uncomfortable passing it around. I actually think JRod did well in the circumstances. The service he got was abysmal.
Really pathetic. Sorry but to take such pleasure from a defeat. Pathetic.You think I take pleasure from watching another predictably poor performance and criticising the manager for his repeated failure to recognise the team's problems?
Whatever the team selection, whatever the tactics there has to be belief. This squad has none. They look and play like they are scared stiff of trying something different, of trying to change things on the pitch. This is not american football where everything is done by numbers it needs inspiration, imagination and most of all confidence. We have none. Not sure Darren is totally behind the system either, the team selection is very safety first with a majority of 'old heads' with unfortunately old legs as well.The younger players are not being given any chance to develop, make their mistakes in games, learn from them and improve. It all seems as hidebound in its own way as pulisball and is far less effective though sometimes more entertaining. when Gayle Barnes and Phillips are on song the attacking is more intuitive and less contrived. when they are not - as in recent games no one has taken on the responsibility of getting forward with the ball quickly. drawing defenders to them and releasing an equally quick thinking and athletic team mate with a simple short accurate pass. It is this safety first aspect that makes us easy to defend against and puts pressure on the weakest part of our team. For me there appears to be too much coaching and players don't seem to be allowed to do what is most natural for them, within the team framework. We look like a bunch of individuals trying to carry out a set of instructions written in a foreign (to most of them) language. Over to you Mr Moore this is the basic problem head coaches have to solve, and it never works using just your mates.

Yesterday's display reminded me of the bad old, sad old days under the stewardship of Brian Little. To those who weren't in attendance then yes we really were that bad. No shape, no desire, no leadership, no coherent game plan or general idea.
Other than for a brief spell early in the second half we looked absolutely clueless and largely bereft of inspiration. I honestly cannot imagine what they've been up to in training. And if the players did know what was expected of them in terms of a game plan, they clearly had no interest in adhering to it. Complete shambles of a 'performance'.
