If they are serious about making the play-offs then they have to win games like these. As for Rovers, I think Justin Morgan will stick will Daniel Fitzhenry at stand-off for the trip to Wakefield. Hull FC couldn't have got St Helens at a better time. Both sides have been decimated with injuries and the black and white stand a very good chance of getting their second win. Do you agree? |

Burnley were awful last time they came to the KC, even Dean Marney scored against them; they are certainly a different prospect this season, however, but we seem to be grinding out results this season and i fancy us to sneak a 1-0'er. Sounds like Windass might be available un'all... |

So yeah, Windass in for Folan tonight as far as i'm concerned - we've got a lot of games coming up so, if you've got a squad, why not use it? |

The big fella seems to have been plagued with one injury or another since arriving in Hull. The good thing is that there are players ready to come in to the side unlike in recent years, People have talked about City going up automatically. Personally, I can't see that because they haven't got the experience to cope with the pressure of being in that position before. What do you think Monkey? |

We've got a tough run in and i can just envisage us struggling to score goals in certain matches. We can't rely on Campbell, Folan and Windass all the time, we need our midfield to chip in more frequently, especially when the forwards are having an off day. But who knows, maybe Pederson and Okocha will get on the scoresheet tonight and i'll have to reconsider. |

If Yeaman returns we are near strength in the backs, granted we are weak in the forwards but when you consider Saints are minus: M.Fa'asavalu P.Sculthorpe J.Cayless N.Fozzard C.Flannery J.Wilkin in the forwards and Sean Long in the backs we can not use excuses this week!!!! |

Hell hullfcer, where do you stand on the Peter Sharp issue? Personally FC fans need to realise that this man delivered the team it's first play-off win before taking them to the Grand Final. When he gets his side back from injury, FC will be a force. |

Some fans have said they don't want City to go up because they won't be readt and they don't want their side to lose all their games in the Premier League. Personally, I think that is ludicrious. Whether they are ready or not, I'd want a season in the Premier League. I'd want to go to Old Trafford, Emirates, Anfield etc. Yes they will lose the majority of their games, but the financial gain of that one season in Premier League is far too good to pass up. And who knows, they might just do a Wigan or Reading and sneak enough points to stay up. |

Flattery gets you everywhere. Isn't it a bit too early to be drinking? I think you have to give James a bit of time. He's had to get used to playing alongside Chris Chester for the first 3 games and then Daniel Fitzhenry. And in 2 weeks time he'll have to get used to playing with Cookie again. I think it's too early for Chaz I'Anson although I have been impressed with him when he played for the first team at the end of last season. James has a contract to play for and I think we will see improvements in his game in the coming months. |

I've no doubt we will be a force with the return of key players returning and i will reserve opinion on the direction Sharp is taking us until the team he has assembled has had a run of games, i'm very confident a win this Friday will spark a run for Hull FC. |
