Been a long time since we had a game. Do we stick with the lads who did so well against Chelsea or bring what are better players straight back in? I'd go with the same team. Greegsy Dawson Bruce Macca Elmo Robertson Jake Meyler Gaston N'Doye Hernandez Good game for Diame to come on as sub. I'm tempted to bring Chezzy back in but it'd be harsh on the three. We can win this. 2-1 to us.
Kinell. I forgot that this was a football discussion forum. Same team as Chelsea. Bit sharper finishing and 2-1 to us. Although, I'd take a point now.
Same team for me they are very quick on the break and move the ball well so would think our central defenders will hold back not to give them to much space. I'd take a point now it would be great to get an unexpected win which on our day we are capable of.

I thought Ramirez was out for 4-6 weeks with a hamstring pull, was this incorrect? If wrong then Proud Hull's team would be my choice. As a matter of interest, I think it is likely they will adopt 3-5-2 against us tomorrow, would that change the way you would set up our team; bearing in mind that our turnaround in pressure, against Chelsea, cane directly from a switch to 4-4-2?
Key match stats (supplied by Opta) Swansea City have not lost back to back Premier League home games since January 2014. Hull City have won just one of their last 14 Premier League away matches (W1 D6 L7). The Tigers have won none of their seven Premier League matches against fellow “City”s this season (W0 D3 L4). Hull have won four and lost just one of the last seven league meetings with Swansea. No side in the Premier League this season have averaged fewer touches in the opposition box per game than Swansea (16) and Hull (15). Swansea have seen just seven players score for them in the Premier League this season and their top goalscorer (Bony – nine) is no longer at the club. Hull City have won just three points (D3 L5) in the eight games that Nikica Jelavic has missed this season. They have scored just five goals in these matches. Since the start of 2013-14, Ahmed Elmohamady has fired in 412 crosses from open play in the Premier League; 89 more than any other player. Hull have conceded 12 goals from outside the box this season in the Premier League; more than any other side. The Tigers have attempted just 95 shots (excl. blocked) away from home this season in the Premier League; fewer than any other side. Some interesting stats there.
"Hull have conceded 12 goals from outside the box, more than any premier league club" I dont care who people think our best GK is is, from now until the end of the season , I would like to see Harper in goal (tye GK who got us to our first FA Cup final,these shots from outside the area could be the thing that gets us relegated!...
It's clear to me we need to just ****ing go for it. We aren't ****ing good enough to play tight and keep leads or hope to snatch a 1-0er... Those away stats are frightening. Just go and play a forward thinking game. goalless draws aren't happening this year so we need to score to get anything.
