We have a fully fit squad apparently (though Maloney is unlikely to be involved). Dawson and Bruce will both play, Diamonde may also start. Josh Tymon is under consideration to start for his senior debut. Bruce has confirmed we hope to sign Powell. Dusan Kuciak is expected to fly to Hull today.
We hope to sign Powell......really? I thought he was an attacking midfielder, literally the last position we need any back up for!
If brought in as a midfielder, it's absolute madness .. unless there's a couple on their way out. If brought in as a striker? Hernandez. Diomande. Akpom. Powell. (Aluko?) (Diame?). Who's leaving? Going to be at least 2 well pissed off. And surely we needed a proven striker / goal scorer?
Steve Bruce will rotate his squad for Saturday’s Emirates FA Cup Fourth Round away tie at Bury. Michael Dawson and Adama Diomande are set to return from injury, while Alex Bruce is also fit again after a brief substitute appearance in the win against Fulham last weekend. 16-year-old left back Josh Tymon could also feature after being included in the travelling squad. Bruce will be without Shaun Maloney, though, as the midfielder is struggling with a muscle problem. Bury could be without defender Joe Riley for the game at Gigg Lane while Craig Jones and Nathan Cameron are pushing for starts. http://www.hullcitytigers.com/news/...or-cup-clash-2926737.aspx#y4mcOpyxqODGbIG0.99
We're not gonna get someone who's already scoring loads. Aluko and Akpom have done nothing. Powell will give us another decent option up front. Currently Diame and Hernandez are the only pairing worth considering.
What we thinking then? ---------Jakupovic Elmo Dawson Bruce Tymon Aluko Meyler Huddlestone Taylor ------Diomande Akpom Maybe McGregor for Jakupovic if the Jak's on his way?
Would imagine it'll prob be those 11, but with 3 in CM and Aluko and Akpom playing wide off Diomande in a 4-3-2-1 formation
