Assuming that we have no other joiners, if so they'll probably only pack the bench.

Would prefer 4-4-2 but have sneaky feeling that Bruce will persevere with 3-5-2.

Would therefore like:

Amos
Rosie, Chester, Faye, Dudgeon.
Elmo, Evans, Koren/Aluko, Stewart. (Think Koren will be out injured).
Simpson. Proschwitz.

Think it will be:

Amos
Chester. Faye. Bruce.
Elmo. Evans. Aluko. Oli. Stewart.
Simpson. Proschwitz.

Pure speculation but most of these thread are.
 
Personally I'd go with your first team. Aluko instead of Stewart if Koren is fit. I think that team looks great and I'm hoping this ****e 3-5-2 is only for away games (or even better just not used ever again).
 
Amos
Rosenoir Chester Hobbs Dudgeon
Elmo Oli Koren Aluko
McLean Simpson

Score Prediction
Hull City 1-2 Bolton
Elmo--------Sordell
-------------Andrews
 
I like Steve Bruce, he seems a nice guy and a good manager, but he has to stop playing 3 centre backs, I know we have alot of defenders now but you don't have to play and please them all, that's just football, Alex Bruce doesn't need to play,

Team should be

Amos
Rosy Chester Faye Dudgeon
Elmo Oli Koren Aluko
McLean Simpson
Subs: Jakopovic, Liam Cooper, Andy Dawson, Cory Evans, Cameron Stewart, Prossy, Alex Bruce
 
I think he'll play 7-2-1 (5 CBs and 2 fullbacks just in case) with Alex Bruce in a free-role i.e. in defence, midfield and up top on his own. Simpson will come on in the 89th minute when were 3-0 down.

Amos

Elohmandy McShane Chester Bruce Faye Cooper Dawson Dudgeon

Olofinjana Bruce

FT 0-4 (Davies hat-trick, Bruce o.g.)

No chance. Bruce wont be that stupid ffs. 4-4-2 at home and 3-5-2 away is my guess. Bolton play an open game and alot also depends on Korens fitness. I dont think he will be risked especially when he gets 2 weeks off after tomorrow anyway. At least Bruce now has good options for both systems at last.

I dont think Stewart will get a start. But assuming that Koren is fit to play then i would think our strongest starting XI would be : -

Amos
Rosenoir Chester Faye Dudgeon
Elmo Evans Koren Aluko
Simpson McLean (as both have 2 goals each)

strong bench:- Oxley - (2 from Dawson, Cooper, McShane) - Bruce jnr - Stewart - Quinn - Proschwitz.

Adds to the quality of the bench now.
 
how many assists & goals compared to starts has Stewart managed for us?

last time he played well was under Barmby when he came back from injury..
 
I see the optimism has returned then.

We seem to do well at home against Bolton- on the last two occassions we've battered them, but unfotunately only recorded the one victory, mainly because of Jaaskelainen.

I'll go for 1-0 City.

Really hope you're wrong.

I'm liking some things about Bruce's management but his replacing perfectly good players with his favourites is a bit annoying.

He's been playing well this season and particularly against Rotherham, was involved in every decent attack we had including the goal.

My team would be:

Amos
Rosenior Chester Faye Dudgeon
Elmohamady Evans Koren Aluko
Proschwitz Simpson

Assuming Quinn isn't ready to play and we don't sign anyone else in time that is.

i havent seen much of elmo, so cant comment much but a wing back requires equal amounts of attacking ability as defensive and rosenior has next to none so i wouldnt be that bothered if this happened personally, he gets in 4 or 5 decent positions a game, but then puts or 4 or 5 ****e crosses in.
