That would be almost as sad as parading round in an open top bus to celebrate being a loser in the most humiliating cup final ever wouldn't it.

Won't celebrate, I've seen Rovers fans celebrate winning the last two friendlies against Hull like it was a majir cup final win * Google it Rovers fans if you aren't sure what that is.

Rovers must have a massive injury crisis if they are able to loan out 3 first teamers.

38 man squad 13 out injured 3 loaned out 2 brought in did you forget to mention that Mrs B sorry I mean Dave so that leaves 20 odd players so if you don’t win by 20 plus I’d say it would be a bit of an embarrassment with the team we have available

38 msn squad

I'd be massively annoyed if Hull had a player of Daggers ability and he was loaned out for a player like Hall (who will score tomorrow)

15 experienced players in your squad isn't it?

We should win, doesn't matter too much if we don't, probably the least important derby in years, just bragging rights, some Rovers and Hull might think differently though.

And let’s not forget your nearly at full strength and remember you say we have 15 experienced players in the squad what you don’t say is that the 13 we have out would all be in the starting 17 puts your injury crisis into perspective

Have Rovers got injuries, I wish some of your fans had mentioned it this season.

Who out of Carney, Atkins, Quinlen, Blair, jewitt, Mulhern, Scruton, Lee, Clarkson, Donaldson and Tickle wouldn't play, add to this Crooks and Hall, you have an experienced side out.

Is having 6 playing out nearly full strength?

5 out are self inflicted, they should behave themselves more.

With 38 players, one of the world's best coaches and outstanding youth players you should be able to cope.

Both team have injuries etc, I honestly think this is your best chance for a while to best us.

You’ve got to be on a wind up mission Dave we won’t get close to you Hall and Crooks won’t really make a difference after a days training our 2 best players in Lunt and McGuire missing again from the Derby T-Carney hasn’t hardly played in a year Our 3 main centres missing 2 first choice wingers missing Mose and greenwood suspended along with the long term injuries

Maybe a little, but I honestly think you have a chance, we have nothing to play for, low on confidence, a few out (including our two most creative playrrs) and have 4/5 who I don't think are fully fit.

I wouldn't be surprised if you win, on paper we have the stronger team and we look better at home, but you never know.

Why would Radford play players who aren’t fit now you have nothing to play for (according to your fans) I still think you have a chance with 8 games remaining

Well given we’ve already lost the last seven and haven’t lost this one yet, it kind of is I suppose.
But in all honesty it isn’t setting the bar very high.

It shouldn’t be a lambs to the slaughter 17, but of the four players widely considered key pre-season to our chances (Lunt, McGuire, J. Carney and Masoe) none are chosen/available. Hopefully McGuire will make his derby debut in 2019. And those ‘chances’ were, realistically, of getting 8th.

I liked it better back in the day when we used to argue about who had the stronger team. At least, now and then, it’s usually us that are right. Yay.
