    Some rumours that Hull have interviewed Eustace for their job. Going very well at Blackburn but their owners are shockingly bad so it wouldn’t surprise me if he left, Hull aren't exactly the most stable of clubs though.

    Think it’ll be really close for the relegation places and could well go down to the final game

    QPR in 23rd are only 6 points behind Stoke in 14th

    Be a good appointment this. Not many coaches have done a better job than Selles over the last 2 years.

    Alex Neil was the favourite this morning good to see them going down this route instead

    Was looking at wyscout ratings again and here is the top 3 in each position based on stats:

    GK
    Cooper - sheff utd
    Trafford - Burnley
    Pears - Blackburn

    Patterson is at 6th

    RB
    Van Ewijk - Coventry
    Coyle - Hull
    Dunne - QPR

    LB
    Doyle - Norwich
    Cirkin
    O'dowda - Cardiff

    Some of the fullbacks play as wingbacks but it doesn't split them. Doyle has played more at LB than LCB that's why he's included here. Hume was 6th best RB.

    LCB
    Darling - Swansea
    Struijk - Leeds
    Clarke - Boro

    RCB
    Rodon - Leeds
    Egan-Reilly - Burnley
    Souttar - Sheff Utd

    O9 was 7th overall so was next man up for both RCB and LCB

    CDM
    Brownhill - Burnley
    Hackney - Boro
    Saville - Millwall

    Neil is 17th

    CM
    Clark - Luton
    Barry Bannan - Sheff Wed
    Jobe

    AM
    Azaz - Boro
    Lang - Portsmouth
    Aaronson - Leeds

    Rigg is 6th

    The 3 CMs positions are never that accurate as some of the players aren't regulars in the position they are under. Brownhills for example is usually a CM rather than a CDM.

    RM
    Gnoto - Leeds
    Roberts
    Esse - Millwall

    LM
    Sainz - Norwich
    Hamer - Sheff Utd
    Grant - WBA

    Mundle is 4th best LM, he was no2 until his injury

    CF
    Maja - WBA
    Chakvetadze - Watford (usually plays as a 10 or winger but he's showing under the CF option)
    Cannon - Stoke

    Isidor is 18th

    Make of the above what you will but I know some quite like this type of stuff

    Cheers for this.

    A few surprises in there. Roberts being 2nd at RM jumps out - is he more effective than many of us realise and why/how ?

    Also shows that we aren't knocking it out of the park this season imo. More to do with our (previously) clinical finishing and organised team defence.

    Surprised Wilson is so low and the rest are about right Roberts slightly high but he did start the season well and his dribbling starts are always right up there

    It's due to his start of the season I reckon, dribbling figures are high

    A lot of these are based on stats and we know stats only tell a part of the story

    Possession based defenders will always rank pretty high due to the number of passes they make per game, if a CDM scores a goal they jump up the list quickly as well

    Yeah I reckon a draw, I'd rather a Burnley win - keeps a gap between us and Boro

    Two of the form teams in the division so should be a good game. I think Boro may edge it but Burnley just don't concede goals so really hard to predict.

    Selles announced as Hull manager. I think that's a good appointment.

    I've wished we had got shot of a lot of players in the past but not the current lads. Roberts has been below par but his attitude has remained spot on. Hope he's back at it tomorrow.

    I think that if we get someone regularly productive in his place we might come close.

    He's such a skillful player just the end product is lacking, reminds me of Sessegnon (I know that will annoy a few) who many fans loved as he was ridiculously talented but again his end product was pretty dire most of the time.
