Maybe two or three but only if they need a rest. Crucial to bounce back and hull represents a good opportunity for the players to do that - because they will be hurting tonight.

How often have we lost under Coops and not come back stronger? Once?

Cheers, appreciate that. Would prefer the Friday one ideally.

It's only natural to have to come so close to feel rough about it - that's why hull is a great game to prove that it's out of the system. Hopefully cooper will have the lads back up and raring to go Saturday- driven by a sense of injustice and determination not to miss out again.

That's the hope, but until they've kicked a ball in anger, we won't really know how this defeat affects them.

As for changes, perhaps rest the likes of colback, Zinc, cook and Yates if injuries are a concern but would still be tempted to go strong and send message to your rivals who might be chomping at the bit to draw a forest side who they might think is feeling a bit sorry for itself.

I’ve seen nothing so far under this squad of players under Cooper to show that they’re mentally weak. I think the Luton game could quite easily have knocked us. 

On the players being rested the Hull game seems like a perfect opportunity to give Laryea a run at right back in case we play Boro in the Semis.

The Friday/Saturday would be away from home

Boro go to Preston- you would expect boro to win which would give them 73. Luton host reading - you would expect Luton to win. I don't expect Millwall to beat Bournemouth which takes them out. That leaves Sheffield utd needing a draw to deny boro. They are at home to Fulham

At this stage I can see Luton perhaps finishing 5th and Sheffield utd 6th. If we fancied Luton we would perhaps do with finishing fourth - also to avoid boro, fourth place would be better as for boro to finish fifth would require them to win and both Luton and Sheffield utd to lose.

For what it's worth Huddersfield are home to Bristol so would expect them to win as well.

Bit of a dilemma if avoiding boro was a priority.

Hopefully Boro don't win, problem solved. 

I think we play to win and see where that leaves us afterwards.
