    I believe you could be correct as neither Leeds or Town are at home so the West Yorkshire Constblary are hardy stretched with regards man power.

    There was a lot of trouble at the away match last season both in and outside of the ground.
    Arrests and a steward hospitalised

    I know there was trouble up there, but cannot recall any trouble at games played at home. Bonkers decision fron the police and also for the Grimsby game.

    Along with Newport I believe Grimsby fans have a bad reputation.

    I'm not sure people are asking for sparkling football when we say "give it a go". People just want excitement and that can be achieved through hard work and keeping the game at a high tempo.

    Quick tempo unpredictabliry, and please by on the positive side of risk against reward. We have a lot of attacking type players who never see the light of day anymore if needed please use them

    We will be kicking off at 9am on Saturdays if we ever get back to the Championship if the police can't handle a few hundred monkey hangers

    Nevers, Derbyshire and Osadebe still not fit to return on Saturday. Oliver back in training but Saturday might be just too soon to see him return.

    I wonder whether MH will consider starting Banks, East or Chapman?

    Have I missed @Steampig@Steampig opinion on whether they think Hughes will rest one of the midfielders and give either East or Chapman a start to freshen things up?

    Wasn't Steampig a Bradford Northern magazine/fanzine back in the day? Seems like he was having a poke with his username, bloody moron

    Just listened to the prematch interview with Hughes and I'm very disappointed to hear that he's happy with the way we start games and the "energy" but this energy isn't scoring us goals or making us kill games off.

    He may change it but it sounds like he's going to pick the same team for the sixth game in a row which if so, he needs his head checking.

    Why? We are on a pretty decent run, the lads were starting to look a little jaded, but have had a week without a game , so rested up. It may not be champagne football , but it is gathering the points and that is all it needs to be, to get out of this league. I do not care one bit if we bore our way into the auto's with scrappy 1-0 victories,
    Why change something that is working at present.
    Ps , like all , i would love to see us thrash someone, but will happily take the three points, no matter how they arrive.
