Bruce has confirmed Fryatt will lead the line which is good to hear. Harper Rosenior - Faye - McShane - LB (?? lol) CJM - Quinn - Koren - Boyd Fryatt - Prozzie
Why? Do you really think they'd give two ****s about him being cup tied for the FA Cup? It used to be a big deal but nobody cares about it until the quarter finals now, sadly.
Either they recall him, or they let him play, there's no point in them blocking him if he's staying with us.
I was wondering when someone would point out that Graham is very unlikely to be available. Left back seems the biggest hole to me. Perhaps it's Max Clark's time?
I just dont get this, I really dont. Are you suggesting they recall him and then desperately want him to lead an assault on their FA CUp charge? I'm pretty sure Sunlan will be secretly hoping they get knocked out and can concentrate on keeping everyone fit and fresh for the massive challenge of staying up. And if they were going to recall him, wouldnt they have done it already? Why risk him helping us further by popping up with an unlikely winner at Anfield?
Recall him? I never said that. I just meant that they're unlikely to let us cup-tie him, in this round at least. They've got some injuries and won't want to rule anything out, even if they've not much interest in having him back right now.
Theyve got 3 options this month: 1) recall him to play him 2) recall him to sell / loan him elsewhere or 3) leave him with us. You just said you didnt mean options 1 or 2 and if they choose option 3 then it doesnt matter if he's cup tied.
I'd rather play someone that played above their age group for England at LB than have McShane at RB. We need to start giving Max some game time anyway.
I thought you were talking in your first comment about them recalling him and playing him this weekend - but on reading it again I see you were talking in more general terms about a recall. I'm not totally ruling out a recall by them some time this month if they have injury problems and fail to buy someone else. I just think they gain nothing and potentially lose something by letting us play him this weekend, so I don't expect them to do so. Of course, after January I can't see them being so small-minded as to prevent him playing in future rounds.
Phil Buckingham just tweeted Danny Graham won't feature. Sunderland do not want him cup-tied. Jake Livermore, Curtis Davies & Allan McGregor will all be left at home too Aaron Mclean and Cameron Stewart were back with #hcafc for training today. Set to be in the travelling squad to Middlesbrough.
McDermott claims TWS 'are on the brink of signing' Cam Stewart: http://www.insidefutbol.com/2014/01...osing-on-hull-winger-cameron-stewart/118022/? [Edit: Can they sign/play him?]
He's definitely played for us and Charlton this season, so unless they can get round the two club rule on the basis that he only played once in the Carling Cup for us, or he just goes on emergency loan, then I don't see how he can.
