Perhaps the win has more emphasis on Mr Agar then our very own Justin!

For me the most important points are a good hit out and the lack of injuries!

I dont think the win is top of Agars list TBH. I am sure he would rather all his first team have a good hit out and start developing and building partnerships throughout the team.

Oh and no injuries.

Dont confuse us saying Hull will win with negativity.
You wont hear many saying it around Good Friday time.
But the team Morgan will pick shows he really is using this game to try different things out.
And lots of the young kids will be involved.

Having said that iF Rovers won how negative would the Hull fans be then

Correct. The squad and strategy that Justin is using for this game has heaped a lot of pressure on Agar to ensure he wins the game to avoid embarrasment. Dare i say a "must win" friendly for the black and whites?

Re: Predictions for the Derby : Sat Jan 16, 2010 12:40 pm  

The vast majority of everyone connected with FC are desperate to see them get a win tomorrow because of the humiliation they've been subjected to in the last 2 seasons and I'm sure Agar sees this as a great opportunity to restore faith with the FC fans and his starting line up indicates he plans to play his strongest available starting side with as least positional changes as possible to enable he gets the win.

Rovers fans of course want a win, but not as much as we've won 5 of the last 6 derbies so it's becoming old hat. Justin Morgan IMO is playing yet another master stroke by starting with an inexperienced side including Latus, Ratu, Watts & Taylor and tipping pressure on Agar whilst giving our young players chance to play in a pressure cooker of an atmosphere for the experience and to see how they respond.

If Rovers' youngsters get a foot-hold in the game in the first 20 mins and Cooke pulls out his usual derby magic, then no doubt Rovers bench will come on and rub some salt in and the Agar would come of out the experience humiliated IMO.

See my post above mate - totally agree. If Agar doesn't get the win then he will really feel the pressure mounting in anticipation of another humiliating season...

We have been hammered in the papers lately about how great Thunder will be this season with their new signings. So called know alls in the papers and on the radio about this powerful looking squad they now have. About how they will finish comfortably above Rovers. Meanwhile the maestro that is justin morgan has been playing it cool and keeping quiet. Secretly Rovers players are bursting to get onto that kfc pitch and start kicking the black n white pensioner brigade. I predict a comfortable win the for the most famous name in rugby Hull kingston Rovers, a ten point margin.
