I know he clearly isn't in MH plans but how about Luke Young? He could prove useful if we start to get injuries at the back, if Boswinga and Ohonua are needed to cover in CB or injured themselves it gives good cover. Hulse is never going to be good enough for this level, and I dont want to hear target man and Hulse in the same sentence, I go to nearly every game and for the majority of games I've seen Hulse play I feel we would've done better without him on the pitch with 10 men, due to him constantly giving the ball away with his awful control. He isn't a goalscorer either I've seen him miss 3 clear open goals. Also if DJ isnt getting games he isn't going to be good enough
HH has missed more than 3 open goals too, I guess you dont think he was good for us either. However bad you think Hulse is at playing the target man, hes still better than Johnson or Cisse at it.
Id rather watch Hulse play up front on his own than cisse who literally didnt get a kick when we tried it with him.
This could perhaps give Hulse the opportunity to at least try and make an honest attempt to earn his keep? He would only be used in the squad as cover for Zamora - if this doesn't work out, dump him in the January transfer window.
