We need a win imo.
If I've read past Ref Watches correctly, today's man in the middle has awarded at least one penalty and one red card in every OUFC game he has stood. Promises to be an exciting one!
With this in mind, 1-0 to us through a Cam Bran penalty.

Agreed. They’ve got the worst home record in the division, and while our away record is pretty shocking, we need to be looking for a win here. Nobody should be going there with a ‘take a point’ mentality.
Yeah, I think after last night, we really do need a win here.
I’ve got vague memories of us going there in the 90’s and tearing them a new one. We won 3:0 with Moody and Byrne among the goals?
Another result like that please

Can't follow this live so hoping for a win while we sleep before going to the Taj Mahal in the morning. One of the wonders of the world, it will remind us of the Kasstad!

Wasn’t there a game at Hull where their ‘keeper scored against us?
I don’t remember that.. I’m focusing on the positives today!

I went to Boothferry Park in the 1989-90 season. It was a freezing day and there were about 150 of us there on a terrace behind a Kwik Save supermarket.

Indeed there was, Alan Fettis brought on as a sub up front and promptly scored. That was a quiet trip home...

Massive game, 6 pointer. Must not lose at least.

1-1 draw. I don’t think either team will want to lose it and do it’ll become more and more cagey as the game goes on.
Really hope we start with a purpose to go and win the game. I’d like to see the same set up as at Norwich with Romeny playing through the middle + 1 (Harris I guess, after he scored).
Leaving the shire at 1.30. It really does feel like a big night. COYY’s!

Certainly a game that we cannot afford to lose. A win would be very helpful.
Been hard to predict a Rowett squad this season — who saw Chemy at left wingback?
I'll take pelters for this (rightly so) but...
Not optimistic; cagey and messy affair. Not done this ground.

Well, it is a mausoleum...
Selles name-checked him as the best player in L1 last season; he'd never expect it.

After last night we can't let Hull get 3 points. A win is overdue. Can we start Phillips at wing back in a 5?
Bizarrely, a second goalkeeper scored against us that season. Roger Freestone scored a penalty for Swansea in our home game against them.
There are trickier looking opportunities for points this season so this one really has to be targeted for something. A point wouldn’t be a disaster but I feel we really do have to go for it tonight.
Pressure game.
Tonight is huge it’s really important we come back with something on the board 3 points would be great but one point is still a point closer to safety
1-2 Harris, Placeta

We've seen Portsmouth get a great win against Leeds and Derby get a great win against Coventry.
Tonight we see Portsmouth (42 pts) at home to Plymouth, Watford at home to Swansea (44 pts), Stoke (36 pts) at home to Blackburn.
And of course, Hull are on 37 pts.
We could really do with bagging a win in this huge six pointer to keep the pressure on those around us and to get us to 42 pts.
1-3 ... feeling it tonight.

I wonder if last night’s results will influence Rowett’s thinking about tonight ? Five at the back with Ter Avest and Phillips makes us hard to beat but offers practically no goal threat.

Great, so we need to score at least 2 to get a win, or Cumming saves another Pen.
Given, that we don't have a left back, then 3 at the back with wing backs, would seem the obvious formation, but we probably don't need to be as defensive against Hull as we did against Norwich.
Cumming,
Ter Avest, Helik, Moore, Brown, Placheta,
Vaulks, Brannagan,
Ruben,
Romeny, Harris
a very cagey 1-2 win Harris & Romeny

Nooooo
Placheta isn't a defender, and I'm not sure Ruben is an anything at this level. However, without a left back anything we come up with be flawed.
When Rowett first came in we got the ball forward quicker and were more direct, I think tonight is a good chance to go back to that, it worked against the bottom half championship sides.

Would just like us to start a little bit more on the front foot today. So many matches recently we've looked so lackadaisical and tepid in the first ten minutes. Whether the instruction has been 'keep it tight for the first ten' it definitely hasn't worked like that and we keep handing the initiative to the opposition.
Be a bit bolder and then can settle into the game plan when we've got a foothold in the match.

its going to be an away kit tonight isnt it- Id prefer it not to be the Benson off white one
Given that Brannagan has been better than Vaulks both over the whole season, as well as in the last 5-10 games, it would be an odd choice to do it that way around…
