Massive blow Fletcher being out. He’s been brilliant this season. 

You lose a lot when Fletch isn't playing his work rate has been phenomenal this season 

 

But thats why you have a squad time for Atty and Sam to shine

Strange that Luongo doesn't get a start.

Can't change the team that did so well last time out.

I remember Ken Wagstaff and Chris Chilton playing for Hull City - great players - loyal players at a time before the game was ruined by corruption, big money and fawning celebrity worship. What price could you put on their heads today?

I suppose that's why I have a soft spot for Hull despite being present on Boxing Day 1970 ( I can't remember the Owls scorers owing to the shock of what unfolded) : 

"Hull City 4 Sheffield Wednesday 4
Boothferry Park | Division Two | Saturday 26th December 1970

Three goals in the last seven minutes earned the Tigers a point against Sheffield Wednesday in this Boxing Day encounter.

Trailing 4-1 – Ken Houghton being City’s scorer – and with the home supporters heading for the exits in droves, the magic of Christmas had well and truly evaporated.

Then, this particular Christmas story took a dramatic turn. Two Chris Chilton goals gave Terry Neill’s side a lifeline before Ken Wagstaff slotted home the equaliser – his 250th career goal – with three minutes remaining to complete one of the most amazing comebacks in the Club’s history."

 

Hull also hit the post in the last minute  ... I was devastated and yet relieved at the same time when the whistle went.

This awful mix of emotions was to revisit me again when the Owls played Chelsea in the League Cup, Jan 1985

 

I'd settle for a repeat of the first 80 minutes tonight.

Got absolutely battered that day as we got off the train in the stadium. Told my brother in law the story 25 years later and he was one of the twohats who jumped us.
