Same team that started v coventry for me. But add cleary on bench

[Hull Baggie]

Referee: David Webb
Assistant Referee: Geoffrey Liddle
Assistant Referee: Matthew McGrath
Fourth Official: Darren Drysdale

Not reffed us so far this season. Reffed us in 2018/19; 2-0 at Bolton and 3-2 v Blues. In 2019/20 he reffed our 1-1s with Millwall and Fulham and our 3-0 at Sheff Wednesday.

Seems to like a card, in his 13 games this season he's issued 56 yellow and 1 red. He's also given 5 penalties.

sorry, you've lost me?

[WBAinDEVON]

Livermore starts then a 1-2 loss, otherwise i will go for 1-1

[SmethDan]

Fun facts.

Jake Livermore has started in 16 league games this season. Of those 16 games we've won 8, drawn 4 and lost 4. Depending on how you interpret these figures we've lost 25% of games when Jake's started, won 50% when he's started or we're unbeaten in 75% of the league games he's started this season. These figures are 100% correct.

Funny old game  .

Penalties, we don't get them.  Can only remember 1 all season and we missed that!

Does that mean we are unbeaten without him?
I love stats.

Have you ever predicted a win?

[KN22]

Livermore starts then a 1-2 loss, otherwise i will go for 1-1

So Jake will cost us the game if selected? Strange viewpoint but you are of course entitled to it.

[Hull Baggie]

ah I see, sorry it makes perfect sense now!  We definitely should have had a few more by now, but maybe we should have conceded a few too.

[Norfolk Baggie]

If we play as well as we did at Coventry I fancy 2 or 3-0 to us.  Big If though.  Hope TGH gets a start again, just for the crowd we need a talented youngster to get behind.

Never suggested it mattered. That's the thing about fun facts. They don't always matter. Yet on other occasions they do, often with hindsight.

Getting back into pre match. Much as I'm an advocate of TGH starting from the off that's three games on the bounce now for a young lad at a higher level than he's used to. I wouldn't be averse to either Molumby or Livermore starting as they should both be well rested.

At the same time it would be harsh on Furlong to miss out following his performance against Coventry having had a rest for a couple of games himself. Then again how often does he play genuinely well two games on the trot?

As for TGH in my opinion either Furlong's a little unlucky to miss out or TGH comes off the bench to replace one of either Furlong or Molumby/Livermore should they be off the pace or having a stinker.

Neither did I.

Same starting 11 for me, all day.

We always beat Coventry and always lose to Reading.

If history is correct, we'll be lucky to get a point!

Don’t remember us losing to reading on our last trip to the madejski (I know this is at home but still)  : and I remember a couple of home wins against them (small margins but still wins)!

Over the last six fixtures we've won two, drawn two and lost two. If recent history were the only thing of consequence their odds going into this fixture are no better than ours.

[Albionic]

Used to get a reading bloke on here regularly in the run up to their games, wonder if he will appear soon? Came across as quite knowledgable if my recollection is correct.

[wodenson46]

History, especially statistical history depends on too many factors remaining stable. we now have different teams different times etc . The only factor that counts is to score more than them in the next match. COYB Muller em! Edit: (All 14 if necessary)
