Hull City vs Crystal Palace Match Preview and Match Thread

Nice ad for a Christmas present for Tigers fans. If its not on the screen it's definitely in the programme.

 

Think we'll win this 2-1.

 

only change I'd do is Oli for Meyler/Evans/McKenna or even Eric Djemba Djemba.. or maybe not..

 

Maybe it is harsh to drop Simpson, because he does a really good job of holding the ball up - but you need someone up there who can bang in the goals. I know that Aluko has scored a fair few, but he plays almost like Rooney, coming very deep at times - he isn't a poacher.

Perhaps the answer is to pick 2 from Koren/Quinn/Aluko and play Simpson up front with Proschwitz/Mclean. Though it would feel extremely harsh to drop one of those 3 creative players.

 

4 changes Brady Evans Meyler McShane in
Rosenior Faye Simpson Olofinjana out

 

Is that official?

I can sort of see the others, but Meyler for Simpson? So Aluko is the lone striker?

 

It is
Stockdale, Chester, McShane, Bruce, Elmohamady, Brady, Meyler, Evans, Quinn, Koren, Aluko
Bench: Jakupovic, Rosenior, McKenna, Mclean, Simpson, Faye, Proschwitz

 

Thats weird? Aluko up top on his own?

 

So is Koren a striker today? They are saying on Tigers Player that it is still a 3 5 2 today.

 

I'm willing to bet that Bruce will once again get subbed because of a knock to the knee

 

Here we go.

 

The Beeb site seems to have packed in: no teams; no start!

 

someone tell the allams to get their cash out in january... go crazy.. and buy AUSTIN!

 

Any chance someone can keep us exiles updated on what's happening now even the Beeb has packed up?

 

Same for you mate? Thought it might be me....

 

It is all us right now. Sounds like we are playing well just havent put it in the net yet.

 

Still 0-0 as per R5

 

And mine.

Paul Walsh is watching our game on Sky Soccer Special

 

No I think the bent coathanger they use these days has fallen off.

 

Koren just missed a sitter by the sounds of it
