chicken 2,604 Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) Videos: Articles:The Pink'Un has it's usual presser coverage article here.Canaries.co.uk have the clubs official build up piece here.Hull have their own pre match piece here.The BBC, once more, couldn't care less about non EPL teams in terms of pre match pieces it would seem, I'll not even bother mentioning it anymore after this... Ins, out's, shake em all abouts:Norwich: Byram remains out but is hoped he will return for the Millwall fixture. McCallum is confirmed out until after the World Cup (early/mid December), he's had an operation on a metatarsal injury. Giannoulis remains out with an ankle ligament injury. Precaution was taken over Cantwell and Gibson who both picked up knocks in the previous game against Wigan so rested for the cup match Vs Birmingham and could be set to return. Sara got more minutes in his legs in that game, as did Dowell who made his first appearance coming back from injury.Hull: Hull have a relatively long list of injuries it would seem, Longman remains side-lined with injury along with Docherty, Tyler Smith and with Baxter, Fleming and Sinik continuing to recover from their respective injuries. A little bit of knowledge: I think it's fair to say that Hull are known to court the bizarre at times, either with owners rebranding them or with outlandish claims from chairman. By that I mean in 1984, chairman Don Robinson declared that they would play the first ever football match on the Moon. Somewhat surprisingly, they were unable to find any opposition to travel with them to play against. I think Robinson may have gotten a little carried away after a squad visit to NASA's Cape Canaveral base. Some might say he was aiming a little high... or that maybe he was high. Hull city also took part in England's first ever shoot out, which they lost to Manchester Utd in the semi final of the Watney Cup, which didn't last long as a competition, in 1970. None other than George Best scored the first spot-kick. Denis Law then became the first player to have a penalty saved in a shoot-out whilst Hull keeper McKechnie became the first player to miss when he got the deciding penalty all wrong. Hull City FC was founded in 1904 and first participated in the league in the 1905-1906 season. I think it is fair to say that Hull's traditional place in the footballing pyramid in England is somewhere between the 2nd and 3rd tiers. This has only changed since the millennium when they were promoted to the Premier League, or top tier, for the first time having finished third in the Championship and winning the following play-off's in the 2007-08 season. Since then, they have been in the Premier League for a total of five seasons. They returned to the Championship last season after one season in League One having been relegated at the end of the previous campaign. Lastly, it may be a little early to get too festive, but Hull and Grimsby were the only two teams exempt from playing on Christmas day until the early 1960's, when fixtures on the 25th of December were common. This was because fans in the fishing industry needed to be at work.Rays Funds for the Community Sports Foundation:Nutty has his PUPs thread up and running as usual. Please do go and take a look and take part in all of the fun.Something a little bit extra: HIghlight's from the Birmingham cup match...

cambridgeshire canary 6,675 Posted August 13, 2022 Sara not even on the bench.. Injured already? 🙃 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGunnShow 5,932 Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) No Sara at all. Sinani on the bench and Dowell back in the starting line-up. Dowell's going to have to physically impose himself more, it's not really been his thing so far. But he might be the most likely to send one of those throughballs Pukki loves.

Capt. Pants 4,195 Posted August 13, 2022 No defensive midfielder. Would have played Gibbs myself. Kenny is going to have to work is bollux off in that 3. Hugill binned off. Can only assume Sara is injured otherwise seems bizarre to have a Villa loanee on the bench and our record signing isn't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
