We don't need a Jon Wilkin anecdote, just do the draw 

We'll lose both games but we're making progress and in another 2 or 3 years we'll be undisputed top dogs in the city again

I don't know why there will be reams and reams of this no one expects us to win either game we are playing the top of the league cup favourite 'wonderkinders' of the Western world  we can't lose as a club. According to their scribes on here it will take us 6 years to get back up there and were not even a quarter of the way through year one!!!! Lose and its what everyone expected win and well....... One thing is for sure though whoever loses the cup game will be well and truly stoked for the Derby match and even if we get through the first game without too much unfortunate incident the Good Friday one will be carnage. 

There’s absolutely no pressure on Hull. At the start of the season we were hoping to finish about 8th and were expected to lose at Wigan in the Cup. Now we look a better team than we expected to be at this stage. Some Rovers fans think they have won the cup already, lost to Hull and it will be devastating for them as this is their best chance to ever win the cup. Also waiting for them a week later will be a refreshed Wigan in the league followed by Good Friday. They could have a brilliant or nightmare 3 weeks. 


Personally I think we will win one of the Derby’s, but it either way a defeat doesn’t impact our season. I think both games will be close and the atmosphere will be amazing. 
It’s still early days, but there’s a similar feel to the late 70’s, early 80’s. Other clubs (except Wigan) are fading and both Hull clubs could find themselves competing for honours or at least finals on the next few seasons. 
Strap yourselves in, this could be fun!

If we can keep everyone fit we can be competitive but lose a couple and we will struggle.  We won't win but hopefully will give them a proper game

Can't seem to create new threads? But a sign of how our fortunes have changed..the club have just put a 'mini membership' on sale for the remaining home games.

Aka the 'we're not absolutely garbage anymore, please come back' pass
