It's almost as predictable as Arsene Wenger not seeing stuff in Arsenal games.

So it seems. Happily he's not at the stage of blaming our poor performances on injuries yet.

A win is a win, thats all we can hope for.

Lets see if we can win ugly, if thats what it is needed.

Fit to play. Giants by 14

Surely not. Mrs B said they are out, and she's never wrong on these matters.

To be fair to Mrs B it was thought Lunt had broken his wrist so was expected to be out and no one had heard a dickie bird about Hodgson so we were all fearing the worse.

We will be better than last Friday against Hull with these two playing 80 minutes.

I fancy our chances now. Without them you would have been favourites.

19s:

Cockayne, Fox, Welham, Webster, Ratu, Colbon, Cooke, Dobson, Vella, Lovegrove, Wheeldon, Murrell, Newton, Cook, Watts, Netherton, Fisher, Galea, I'Anson.

B. Hodgson, Cudjoe, Lolesi, Whaturia, D. Hodgson, Brown, Robinson, Crabtree, Lunt, Gilmour, Fa'alogo, Raleigh, D. Griffin, Lawrence, Faiumu, Grix, Aspinwall, Patrick, Horne.

Good to see Hodgson fit, a player I love to watch although not necessarily against us.

To be honest, I think you'd have been favourites anyway, our attack last week just didn't fire, where as your defence looks even meaner than last year.
