I was thinking back about a few important matches since cpfc 2010 consortium arrived and the important leaders with had in our side like Derry, McCarthy and Clint hill against Sheffield Wednesday. In the promotion campaign ramage and jedinak. Surviving in the prem jedinak, Scott dann. Get to the cup final mile jedinak. The wins in Feb to April mamadou Sakho. Anyone fear the real lack of leaders and fighters going into hull? We desperately could do with Scott dann starting on Sunday.

Agree with this. Him being made captain seemed to coincide with his dip in form. Really doesn't strike me as a leader of men.

I'd be massively reassured if Dann started - any news on his injury? BBC said 'a few weeks' on 4th April. Suppose we'll have to wait for the presser to find out...

We need iron determination from all our players - and the manager, not to mention our fans.

It is particularly critical that our defence is marshalled with military discipline.

Jason Puncheon has a huge role to play in inspiring the troops.

This is no time for shrinking violets.

I like Puncheon and he work ethic but the way he gives the ball away (probably) 50% of the time is lunacy.
