Aluko will be excellent in the Championship, Very disappointing day today, the fans in the ground backing Bruce still, on balance would rather keep him in the job than Allardyce who might have relegated us by giving West Ham a premature holiday. Mcshane took on a god like legend status today at the KC, at least we have a few real men like Him Meyler and Quinny to fight for us in the Championship. Hernandez came over to us when he was a sub, all the other players acknowledged the fans, he didn't even look at us, hope the door hits his arse on the way out the mercenary twatI think we'll have the same problem next season as this (and all the others), ie no strikers. One way or the other they'll all go, possibly with the exception of Aluko who we won't be able to get shot of.
Sadly the players we'd hope stay are either....
out of contract:
McShane, Quinn, Rosenior...
Will get bids for:
Brady, Chester, Elmo, Robertson, Jelavic...
Or are on the naughty step:
Davies, McGregor...
That means the only player who will fight in the Championship and be happy to stay is Meyler. The rest will be here, but won't want to be.
McShane has always been on my keep list. Always. I have been one of the few who have backed him.People saying all these players can go, how much for? Who do we replace them with? As mentioned about Hernandez, it's all well and good flogging them all for peanuts because they've had a bad season, but then we're left with what?
These are all good players and if Bruce wasn't so scared of losing, if he was a little braver and let them go out and play like today, we probably wouldn't be in this mess. He'd surely have that bravery to let the team attack in the championship. The squad is here ready built and the more of them we can keep the better, the understanding they have from playing and training together can't be bought and wholesale changes will bring a prolonged stale period where the football is total ****e.
Funny how McShane seems to be on everyone's keep list, 5 years ago he was the first player we all wanted out the door. Form is temporary, class is permanent.
Burnsey on RH hinting very strongly that Paul McShane has played his last game for city.
Two players not mentioned so far. Dudgeon & Lenihan. Dudgeon did well for us last time in the Championship until he got injured. he appears not to
have recaptured that form but he could it back given a chance.
Lenihan is one for the future. i know he got a bad injury while out on loan. Does anyone have an update
Mcshane is one of the few that have stepped up, the response he got today off the fans was as good as I've ever seen any Hull City player get. Hernandez can get the next ticket back to wherever he came from, I don't agree with your comments about him, he is a disgracePeople saying all these players can go, how much for?

These two will light up that league, things aren't as bleak as they seem as we can ship out all the deadwood and still have a few diamonds leftForgot about Diame and Snodgrass who both won't be leaving as no team are going to buy injured players. Diame especially will be different class in the Championship.
