No one else picked up that The Times is reporting we'll have Jack Robinson a 16 year old left back on the bench tomorrow??

I saw that, I'm guessing he's a decent prospect, good to see the kids getting some opportunities, even if it is because our squad is thread bare, we might as well give so of the kids a game, given there is (arguably) nothing to play for. It will be good to give them a taste of first team football

Yep, it'll be a nice boost for the lad with his GCSE's coming up.

From the offal:

Jack Robinson has made great progress during the 2009-10 season.

The left-back, who will turn 17 in September 2010, has been in outstanding form for Rodolfo Borrell's U18 team.

Warrington-born, Robinson has a sweet left foot and is an excellent defender who reads situations quickly. He is also extremely comfortable in the final third of the field and is a fine crosser of the ball.

He is an England U17 international and has also trained with Rafael Benitez's first team squad at Melwood this season.

Robinson is also studying for his GCSE's and still attends Chesterfield High School in Crosby.

Most don't seem interested but we've a game to play today.

From ESPN

Hull are likely to be without Jimmy Bullard and Caleb Folan for Sunday's final Premier League game against Liverpool at the KC Stadium.

Bullard missed last week's 2-2 draw against Wigan, which confirmed their relegation, with an ankle problem and has not yet returned to training while Folan has a knee injury.

Rookies Will Atkinson and Mark Cullen are likely to keep their places after netting at the DW Stadium, with Kamil Zayatte, Ian Ashbee, Richard Garcia (all knee) and Stephen Hunt (foot) all long-term casualties.

Boss Iain Dowie believes the performances of the youngsters should give fans some much-needed hope for the future.

"The young boys have come in and shown what they're about,'' he said.

"Probably Will Atkinson was the one that raised eyebrows but he was picked on merit. What he gives you is a youthful enthusiasm and he seems to arrive where the ball is, which is a great habit to have.

"He's got goals (on loan) at Rochdale and we were seriously lacking in goals. Mark Cullen's got goals at youth-team level. They've continued that last week and it almost brought us a very big result.

"It didn't quite happen but this is something we want to build on. There were some positive moments for the future of the club.''

Liverpool midfielder Maxi Rodriguez is unlikely to recover from a thigh problem in time.

The Argentina international came off in last week's 2-0 defeat to Chelsea and is a major doubt, as is right-back Glen Johnson who missed that game with a calf injury.

Central defender Jamie Carragher is hopeful of recovering from a twisted ankle to face the Tigers to play in his 435th league match, surpassing the record of former captain Alan Hansen, and his 629th Liverpool game overall.


Hope he plays and the boys perform for him.
