When does the squad get announced?

It's normally at 2pm two days before the match - which would be 2pm Thursday for the Saturday match.

But the website isn't always updated at that time though.

We’re not obliged to announce squad

We’ve signed a hooker, looks likes he been playing for Rochdale mayfield. Can’t say I’ve ever heard of the lad

3 hookers in the squad. Idd guess means it’s highly unlikely we will be seeing Litten much this season. Still no fullback

The lad may be a good player ... I dunno, I hope he is of course ... but that aside, this is a weird signing given that we are supposed to get players from Hull to support are ill-constituted squad.

We have signed 3 trialists and it strikes me it is because we can't get/can't afford established players to make up a squad of sufficient numbers.

The sooner we get to see what is on offer against Newcastle the better.

Because once again Steptoe and Son springs to mind.

Seems were getting nowt. Really do fear the worst. This game should be a statement of intent. Instead I feel it's a poor defeat followed by excuses

And I thought that you were quite bullish about our chances?

My enthusiasm is waning

It stacks up if we get Hull players.
If we get dregs or very few it doesn't.
We are an average outfit others.

I'm saying we can't beat Newcastle with our players alone.
