Gutted we arent playing 3pm today like we should be. We'll be going 3-5-2 again i imagine. Greegsy is a doubt apparently suffering with a severe red face. Sagbo banned. not sure if Bruce, Quinn are still injured. Harper Chester Macca Davies Elmo Robertson Jake Hudd Meyler Aluko Jelavic Thats what I'd go with, though i wouldnt be unhappy with Rosy in there as its going to be a battle against Stoke.
Key match stats (supplied by Opta) 180 minutes of football between Hull and Stoke in the Barclays Premier League last season produced a total of just one goal (from Peter Odemwingie). Stoke have lost just one of their last 10 games against The Tigers (W4 D5). Hull have not won consecutive Premier League games since September last year. Only relegated Cardiff and Norwich (two each) won fewer away games than Stoke (3) in the Premier League last season. Stoke, along with Tottenham, were one of only two teams not to pick up a booking on the opening weekend. Nikica Jelavic has scored only five goals in his last 48 Premier League appearances. Peter Crouch is playing a fourth successive season with the same club for the first time in his career (played in three seasons for Villa, Liverpool & Spurs). Crouch is the only player in Stoke’s Premier League history to reach double figures for away goals (he has 10). James Chester has only ever had three shots on target in the Premier League but has scored two goals. Hull conceded only 21 Premier League goals at home in 2013-14, the same number as Manchester United.
----------------- McGregor ------ Chester - McShane - Davies Elmo - Livermore - Huddlestone - Robertson ----------------- Aluko ------- Ince ------------- Jelavic
Think I'd like to see Maguire in the middle. With the man mountain crouch McShane and Chezzy together may prove a little short.
did he do well enough against Lokeren Bob? With Chezzy and Davies alongside sweeping up it may be a good idea letting him attack everything.
Team News: Allan McGregor is the Tigers' only injury concern ahead of Sunday's home game against Stoke City with a shoulder problem. Everybody else is fit and available, apart from Yannick Sagbo who completes a 2-game domestic ban.
I think he's taken opportunity to get in early knowing that there'd be little to no chance of Brady seeing today.
I knew we are playing tomorrow Stan but when i got up at 6:30 this morning and took the dog out it was just in my brain, its Satdee we're playing today. Bacon sarnie when i get back whistling a happy tune. The mrs even said you think you're going to City and pub dont you at 8am. meh
I think we need a bit of steel in midfield for this one - I think it'll be a game for Livermore and Meyler. Need them to stamp their authority on the game from the off.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...oy-Hodgson-facing-midfield-injury-crisis.html "Frank Lampard set for surprise England call-up with Roy Hodgson facing midfield injury crisis" Hodgson was at Aston Villa against Newcastle, meaning Delph could be an option in central midfield for this week’s squad, while his assistant Ray Lewington was at St Mary’s Stadium checking on Ward-Prowse and West Brom striker Saido Berahino. Lets hope you're at the KC today Roy, I highly doubt it mind.
