Match Day Thread Hull City v Bolton Wanderers

Seems we have a lot of fit players (esp David arf) again. I hope Bruce doesnt play them just yet.

Greggsy
Dave Big H Davies Robbo
Elmo Jake Hayden(needs a nickname) Clucas
Diame
Luer

We cant afford to lose Dawson over the Xmas period or Meyler. That teams easily good enough to beat Bolton. Give Snodgrass half an hour, build him up gradually. He clearly isnt ready anyone who saw him in the Ressies could see he's not match fit. Davies should be chomping at the bit. Hayden has to start.
Elmo's come in for a lot of criticism, but thats due to his own high standards, still top of assists and 4 goals scored. Take note Jake.
He might try Akpom, which is fair enough but no matter how much ability you have if the work rate and attitude is not right then dont pick him.

We'll win 3-0.

 

Maloney to start for me too.

We should beat them easily. Just need an early goal. Will we? Who can tell, bastard stupid game.

 

I feel he will start with Meyler & Akpom if not Meyler then Hayden, I am reasonably sure he will drop Huddlestone.

 

I like Maloney but he cant play out wide. He drifts in all the time. I'd rather push Diame in to CM, Clucas back to LM and Have Maloney in Diame's free role. He's a clever little footballer

 

Huddlestone should start.

You don't leave your best players on the bench.

apparently there's a change of tactics this week so he can include Junior in his selection thoughts

 

Them were the days. No subs. Run it off.

 

Other than Hernandez, we could see the same #hcafc side that thumped Boro vs Bolton today. Michael Dawson is back

 

Today's when we'll find out just who Brucey was so pissed off at last week. He's got a Davies/Maguire decision to make, plus a couple in midfield and up top.

Hayden may well get a start, I reckon.

 

Maguire needs to stay in or there will be two Bruce out threads here tonight

 

It's time for Bruce to clear out the deadwood, the ones who aren't committed or think they are off in January not to mention the ones cruising until a free at the end of the season

 

He did this last season with the inaugural big time charlies rant and he subsequently dropped McShane who was MOTM in the previous game. Whatever he does today, it won't be something we can easily make sense of.

 

Our record is far worse with him in the team , no way should he start

 

STAT: @OfficialBWFC are the only side in the top four tiers of English football without an away win this season (D2 | L7) #HULBOL

Get ready for it

 

need to get back to grafting for the right to play pretty football later in the games, despite Meyler only just returning I think he could be sorely tempted to get his industry back in the team alongside Jake, Dawson will definitely come in, but don`t know whether davies or Big H will drop out, my money is on a Dawson/ Big H partnership, up front would love to see Luer given a go, possibly with Maloney or Diame playing in the hole behind him. But as well know brucie does have the odd mind **** with selections at times

 

We need to start this game at a good tempo. We always seem to start poorly. I've lost count of how many times right from the kick off. We dont know what to do with it. Its shunted backwards backwards and then just hoofed aimlessly up. Either from Greggsy or Dave. We should go forward right from the KO. Put them on the back foot and keep them there.

 

'Haydo'.

 

FFS - The kiss of death.
