Hurrell was absolutely blowing with his hands on his knees in the first half last week.
We really need to get at him and keep him working.

Despite Shabs's undying love for him, he is their weak link in defence.

If we could get a decent winger for a few years that would be great.

Scanning a list of off contract SL players I noticed that there's a big chunk of an ageing but evergreen winger at KR. Bring Hally home?

Hurrell is blowing after one involvement. Send 5 tackles his way for repeated sets!

Not sure what it is but for some reason I can’t get excited about this cup game, ever since the draw came out, with it being Saints and we've just played them it all feels a bit meh! And im not fussed either way.

Will be a really poor crowd aswell.

Really wished wed have got a different draw but that’s the way it goes.

Annoyingly for me I have plans I can't change so won't be able to watch it or radio.

But I agree,unlucky draw for multiple reasons

Same for me. The Cup has lost a lot of it's magic imo.. it needs a revamp on and off the field. Clubs need to discount tickets too... get plenty of kids there for free or for £5..

SL Clubs should enter a round earlier and IMO any Championship or lower placed side should automatically get a home game if they are placed against SL side.

Because of loop fixtures, another game against a SL side is just utterly uninspiring, and it will show in the attendance tonight.

As I say I'm not even bothered about the result, yes it would be great to win, but if we lose - meh.

To win this game we need scoring threats - playing Mon and Martin on the left suggests all the attack will come on the right. Both are less than speedy and are defensive players. Saints are a tough side to breakdown with making it easier for them.
