Our vital midfield hub of Medel, Gunnar and Kim have had a busy international fortnight - a lot of travelling for them. Add Bellers efforts as well over that period and I wonder if it's going to tell on Saturday.

Is it a case to start Mutch intead of one of them? I think resting Bellers on the bench and bringing him on as an impact sub could be a decent option with Mutch slotting in to support the others.

Assuming Huds doesn't come in for Caulker, I'd then give the armband to Gunnar - he'll love it.
 
kim and Pit Bull probably won't be back in country until tomorrow which gives them one day back with the team before they travel to Hull.

I think Medel should start as should Kim. Start Noone on the right and bring Bellers off the bench with 20 to go at the same time as bringing Odemwinghe on for Kim (he's 10 years younger than Bellemy so should be good for an hour). Mutch on for Medel early in the 2nd half.
 
ronny - being professionals doesn't mean you don't get tired mate. On the other hand, Whitts has had a free fortnight and he always looks tired......<laugh>
 
Doubt Odem will start. Malky would need to be sure he's up to speed and match fit after his nightmare with Clarke at Brom.

Having said that, he does look very lean in the recent vids of him. Maybe he'll be OK from day one, but I doubt Malky will chance it and throw him straight in.
 
Unless Bellers ran himself tired, I'll be very suprised if MM doesn't start with the same 11.

Only question is will Cathrine Theophile start at RB though? Been talk on twitter that he looks awesome in training, very quick (Thank the ****ing lord if that's true) and powerful. I wonder if Conolly has ever looked awesome..............?
I'd like to see Odemwingie start if he's fit, but I think the bench is much more likely after months not playing.
 
I would go for the 3 points and a slightly more attacking mindset.

1 change if all fit.

Mutch in for Gunner.

Wont happen though.
 
It'll make no difference - or at least it shouldn't make a difference. Very fit professionals. Playing football keeps them sharp, and focused.
On the other hand, the Hull players have had no football for a fortnight so they'll be rusty
