    Like in the prem when they have to submit their 25 man squad's, who would your dream 25 be.
    You have to have Goalkeepers x3, Defenders x8, Midfielders x 9, Strikers x 5:

    Goalkeepers x3:
    Robert Green
    Adam Federici
    Boaz Myhill

    Defenders x8:
    Nathanial Clyne
    Chris Gunter
    Jos Hooiveld
    Kaspars Gorkks
    Luke Chambers
    Curtis Davies
    Danny Fox
    Dean Moxey

    Midfielders x9:
    Jimmy Kebe
    Adam Lallana
    Peter Whittingham
    Matt Phillips
    Morgan Schneiderlin
    Kevin Nolan
    Mark Noble
    Chris Burke
    Robert Snodgrass

    Strikers x5:
    Rickie Lambert
    Carlton Cole
    Nicky Maynard
    Jermaine Beckford
    Jay Rodriguez

    What Would yours be?

    You probably watch a lot more championship teams than I do but one of the players of the season has to be Jobi MacaNuff (spelling) and a top top striker Jason Roberts. I'd drop Carlton Cole, Jermaine Beckford and Nicky Maynard for Roberts, Henderson and maybe Chopra!

    <laugh> Cage Tiger, don't you think you are hugely overrating Hull players. In your 25 man squad you have:

    2 Reading players (Reading won the league)
    3 Saint players (got automatically promoted)
    3 Hammer players (Won the play-offs)
    6 Hull players (finished 8th, 7 points away from the play-offs)

    By that shouldn't you have easily got promoted or did the other 5 players let you down that badly...

    To justify the choices:
    James Chester and Liam Rosenior as City had the 2nd/3rd best defence in the League.
    Mannone had 8 straight clean sheets when he came in.
    Robert Koren scored 10 goals from midfield and was our player of the Year.
    Cameron Stewart is young, skillful, fast and highly rated. By Nigel Pearson especially...
    Matty Fryatt managed to score 16 goals in a side that hardly scored and was the in the top 10 goalscorers.
    There was reasons behind them, not just for the fact that they were Hull City. For people such as Koren and Chester, for them to not be in many of the other posts is quite strange.

    I understand there are justifications for them but its still a biased view. I really cannot believe that Fryatt is in the top 4 best strikers in the league because I just see him as a worse version of McCormack in every way

    Fryatt was a lone striker and he was in the top 5 goal scorers last Season...

    I wouldn't have put 6 City players in but Fryatt is a quality player and I think he's better than McCormack personally.

    Which of the other 5 City players would you have taken out? Mannone had many clean sheets, Rosenior and Chester have been outstanding in the League's 2nd best defence, Koren scored 10 goals and won our Player of the Season and goal of the Season.
    Actually thinking about it, I could have taken Stewart out as he was poor since Nigel Pearson showed interest.

    I don't think you guys have seen enough of McCormack. Maybe I havn't seen enough of Hull City but how you can put 6 players in there and finish where you did doesn't make sense to me

    I definitely wouldn't have Stewart in it. I'd agree with Rosenior, Chester and Koren but you should probably have picked one between Fryatt and Mannone to avoid being called bias ;)
