Morsy is back for this one, hopefully Williams will start at RB, having said all that....I think we will lose this one, not been impressed the last few games, we get opened up quite easily. Sorry but 1-2 Hirst for Town
Having showed our weaknesses, learnt much, and our courage & determination, we bounce back with a good win. 3-1 Town. Hirst, Hutch & Freddie. Harness doesnt get a look in, no game time, sulks and talk of being sold in January. Huge cheers heard from across the Spanish borders!
Hull are in good form, like us, and certainly won't be a pushover. Saying that, I like to think we'd get back to winning ways, particularly with Morsy and Broadhead back in the line up. Agree that I'd like to see Williams being given a start in place of Clarke. I'd even possibly drop Chaplin and try to get Hutchinson in the starting eleven, who has been in great form.
Hladky Williams Wolfy Burgess Leif Morsy Luongo/Taylor Hutchinson Chaplin/Taylor Broadhead Hirst Play that team and we win!!
I think pretty much every fan now wants Williams in for Clarke as he is clearly a better defender. Morsy comes back in which is an upgrade from Saturday and hopefully Broadhead is fit as well
I was going to mention Donacien, not done alot wrong the past season, I'd suggest his lack of playing time and the loss of Walton has quite significantly affected how much more open we are at the back
I don’t think there’s anything to choose between Hladky and Walton. Walton is the better shot stopper but Hladky gives us so much more in possession. and Hladky makes plenty of fine saves. If Hladky improves his shot stopping as much as Walton improved his kicking then Walton will never get back in the side.
We all applaud how Hladky has come in as standby keeper and made many fine saves. The key difference for me is how Walton commands the area, and brings discipline to the defense. Interesting dilemma for KM!
As we are waiting for ko for what will be an exciting match between 2 similar teams, a diversion topic. I note there is some anxious banter about K Mk going to Rangers. No chance imo. McKenna's not stupid. He will have a plan for his career and so early in his career he will stay with us, where he has terrific support, can learn on the job and make mistakes (as he did with our tippy tappy sideways passing last season) knowing that he has a huge following at a reputable club and his family settled and enjoying life in Suffolk. A bad move at this stage in his career could derail his young career. No chance.
Agree re Walton gaffer. I would say there is zero chance of KMc going to Rangers, that would be a backwards move imo, why would you go to a Scottish team, yes they are a very big club but football standards wise.....mehhhh
I think despite Hladkys decent form Walton will come back in before the end of the year at least. I don't think there's alot of difference between them when it comes to shot stopping in fact I might even say Hladky is better however he is what I call a goal line goal keeper and despite his good form there are elements of his game which have made our defence more exposed this season than if Walton was playing. As gaffer says Waltons command of his box is superb and with that he takes so much pressure off the defenders. As for the Rangers link, doesn't worry me at the moment...doesn't mean I'm not worried though about losing him in the near future. I hear Palace are eyeing him up as a long term replacement for Hodgson.
Where are the links to Rangers, there is nothing on the BBC site, apart from the usual suspects (Big Sam missing from that list !) Also why would he go to Palace ? they are about the same size as us so surely that would be a move sideways for KM ?
I agree re: Hkadky. A keeper that will fling himself everywhere to make the save, but fiks me with nervousness. Walton is a lot more cultured and commanding, and also starts a lot of our attacks. As for tonight's game, tough one. Will be an entertaining game, but albeit it a 3-2 defeat
