Do away goals count in the playoffs? I didn't think they did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamK2292 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 They'll come at us from the off - as the home side you'd expect that. Wouldn't read too much into them ending the regular season poorly, they're a good side. If we can come out of the 1st leg unscathed (with a lead and/or clean sheet), we'll be favourites to progress.

TomtheOwl95 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 In my opinion I think they will try and do what we did to Brighton last year. Get the home leg won and then keep it tight and hang on away from home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RocketOwl Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 FF has to start upfront. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue and white Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I think they will roll over and let us put 10 past them. Obviously they are going to be up for it and give it 110% and I wouldn't expect anything less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we think of Hull as some sort of Championship superpower when they're 'yo-yoing' up and down. True. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls66 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I just hope we don't play too deep and allow them to command possession in our half. I personally think we'll look to break at them on the counter, particularly if they come at us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's up to us to match their early intensity, come through it unscathed and then get on the front foot. This will not be easy. As has been said, they weren't 3rd in the league for good parts of the season for nothing. If this is the case please can you tell them to start immediately, not after half time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flat Owl Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Happy for us to play on the counter - score to open up the game and we should take from there. I think our experience of last year will play a massive part in both games and hopefully the final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're struggling to score so for me we just go and play our normal game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookone Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 We have to be planning on brining a lead back to Hillsborough, why on earth would we do anything else. They are bound to come at as but as I have mentioned elsewhere - we will win by 6 goals over the 2 legs with Rhodes scoring 4 of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skiptonowl Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 They were excellent against Brighton who they hammered. They had to much pace and movement for them. We will have plenty of defending to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blame Harkes Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 That was three months ago. Also Brighton had 10 men. I'm with the group that thinks Udders throws everything they can at us for the first 20-30, but they'll tire. They've looked tired for a while.

19owl08 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Their iffy form coincided with Izzy Brown being out injured. He came back against Wolves scoring the winner & was rested against Birmingham. He's their main attacking outlet. Tall, strong & quick. Loves to run at defenders through the middle. Keep him quiet & they'll offer no threat. Which is why I think Hutch will play in the middle.

He will be back for Sunday & is their top scorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jockolad Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I thought that their drop in form might have something to do with 20 odd blokes chasing odd shaped balls around on their pitch every other week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
