    TC will start. NJ will have taken note  of how much pressure we were under from the get go without having TC and Kelman together up front to press and stretch the opposition. We were very lucky not to concede in the first half.
    The game plan will otherwise be the same, hold them off for 60mins and then go for the win. It has worked for the past year except on the few occasions when we have been on the front foot against inferior opponents.
    If TC starts, it should be with Tanto

    • Hull City have won just three of their last 13 league games against Charlton Athletic (D5 L5), though all three have come on home soil during that time.
    • Charlton Athletic have lost three of their last four away league games against Hull City (W1), one more than across their prior 16 such matches combined between October 1929 and October 2007.
    • Hull have won each of their last two home league games and will be looking to win three in succession for the first time since November 2023.
    • Charlton won their last away league game 3-0 vs Ipswich in midweek; they haven’t won successive away league games whilst netting 3+ goals in the process since May 2014.
    • Joe Gelhardt has either scored (2) or assisted (1) each of Hull’s last three Championship goals; it’s more goal involvements than in his previous 11 league games (2).

    I don't think we can keep blaming the front two any time we're under pressure.

    I think NJ will start the same side that beat Ipswich and employ the same tactics and make the same changes at around 60 minutes and hope for the same result!  Personally think thats the way to go  :)

    In the Ipwich game we were playing long balls out of defence that was so long Kelman had no chance to get them

    Yeah... And we came out second half with the same front pairing and faired much better. The whole team was passive, that's why we were under pressure. Not to mention that we were playing a team that has spent enormous amounts of money. We are going to come under pressure in this league, it's not always down to the front two.

    There’s something to be said for strikers not scoring but the team doing well - I remember a season when Bartlett and Lisbie played a lot and we won a lot of games .  Campbell and Tanto have the potential to cause problems but neither will score many.  Not sure Kelman is giving quite enough , although it doesn’t matter when you’re winning .

    I’d like to see it, but I think our setup needs one striker to drift left, so we can’t start both options that can do that role together. 

    Leaburn-TC and Kelman-Olaofe should be the pairings. The debate is which way around to play them as starters/subs. 

    I’m expecting Jones to revert to Kelman-TC which i don’t mind but I also hope I’m wrong as Leaburn-TC is our best partnership imo

    You control Kelman he been playing very well and his movement is one the reason Carey is scoring goals .. Tanto and Kelman deserve 10 games together to form a partnership

    Our best partnership is Kelman and Tanto , Leaburn never the same player starting games and Campbell been the problem this season and 25 mins against a stretched team who are going forward looking for goals does not warrant a return to the starting 11 ….

    When we are under pressure the instinct is to go long. Only TC has extreme pace, but little physical presence, others have less pace, (maybe) more guile, and abit more of a physical challenge. All in all it's only going to work if the defenders cock up.
    We need to pass the ball better when under pressure and work the ball forwards. Mid field need to do more than be extra defenders.
    Like we did against Ipswich for 10mins when they were flat out on their backs 0-3 down. We need to be able to do that when the we are being pummelled.

    I know you aren’t a serious poster but I didn’t say they should start, just think out of our partnerships they work together the best, because they’ve played together the most. 

    Worked well together last season, played plenty of academy football together, and on Tuesday were both brilliant the first time they’ve played together in the championship. I don’t mind if they start or don’t, but they should play together. Leaburn is fine starting games, played well against Leicester and QPR

    TC has plenty of physical presence, often holding the ball up and passing it even when double marked. He is nearly always double marked because opponents know that otherwise his pace would be unstoppable. This helps to create more space for Carey and others, but unfortunately for TC makes him less effective near goal. NJ understands what he brings to the team, which is why he will start tomorrow.

    Don’t knock it, the longer teams and their fans go on thinking all they have to do to get 3 points off us is to just turn up the better.

     "TC has plenty of physical presence"

    Sorry I disagree. Compare to Chuks Aneke. he had physical presence, lyle Taylor, even Jayden Stockley and many others.

    No need for our travelling fans to take any colouring pencils this week, as Hull City is the only team of the 92 with no letters to colour in. Our opponents are also one of the only two teams with a name comprised of eight letters, split evenly between two words. Whether any of these fascinating facts will affect the result, I somehow doubt it, but it's a heck of a lot better than having to play the likes of Port Vale.

    I keep predicting a loss, but then we win 🤷‍♂️. If McBurnie plays we lose.

    2-0. So only half as bad as the Housemartin's predict.

    TC has decent acceleration which is dangerous, especially near the box but I wouldn't describe him as genuinely quick.

    I would be interested to see the ground covered figures for our players in each game. With Sat/Tues/Sat and then the same thing again in 7 days time, it’s fairly relentless and I’m particularly concerned about our CMs who I assume cover the most ground and tiredness could show at a point - but it’s the position where Jones simply doesn’t trust any of the backup options 

    have been lobbying for ages for TC as a game changer against the tired defence and hoping he might do that again tomorrow
