West Ham v Hull City AFC - Team news...

I reckon he'll just chuck Ramirez and Aluko up there, I expect to see..

Greegsy
Chester Davies Bruce Figgy
Elmo Huddlestone Livermore Brady
Ramirez
Aluko

I'd rather see Ince on the left and put Brady up top in all honesty but I think Bruce's love for Aluko will earn him a start. Like to see Dawson come in for Davies too.

 

aluko has been terrible hes just runs into players really gets on my tits

 

How do you recover from a groin strain that quickly? He'll no doubt go off before half time with a worse problem than before, as we haven't taken due care with an injury. We've seen it with Fryatt, Aluko et al.

 

I think we're going to see Sagbo and Aluko up front again at the weekend, and neither of them will have any sort of positive impact on the game. The problem is they're the only two fit 'strikers' we have, so are probably the best option we've got without throwing Rossi/Annan/A N Other in there on Sunday.

 

As we seem unable to score, nil nil would be seen as a good result? Really hate being so negative about the team i’ve supported since 1965. I just wish we’d put opposing teams under some pressure at least.

 

I think we will see Brady up front with Aluko. God help us, Aluko is Cack. We would be better off giving MaGuire a shot up front. Aluko has had more than enough opportunities and achieved nowt. We have nothing to lose with giving Maguire a go

 

In Bruce we trust!

But pull your finger out your arse and get a striker in, thanks!

 

3 of our top scorers are out injured with Jelavic (6), Diame (4) and Hernandez (3) all on the sidelines. Our highest scorer on the pitch on Sunday will be Chester with 2.

 

Meyler will definitely be playing.

 

Hull City will not be making a move for Blackburn Rovers striker Rudy Gestede, manager Steve Bruce has confirmed this morning.

Several reports had claimed that City were close to agreeing a £4m deal for Gestede this week after Blackburn boss Gary Bowyer revealed an enquiry had been made for the 26-year-old.

However, Bruce has dismissed speculation of the Tigers landing Gestede, insisting it was “not going to happen” this month.

“I called Gary two or three days ago to clarify the situation and we talked briefly. It was a non-starter before we got anywhere,” said Bruce.

“I enquired about him and the answer came back not at the sort of figures we’re talking about.

It’s not going to happen.”

City are searching for a new striker this month but, with finances tight, the focus will be on the loan market.

Bruce said he would work "every hour God sends" to bring in the right man.

He said: "It's always a key end of the pitch and you're only as good as your strikers. If they're fit and everyone's healthy, we're in a good place, but they're not at the moment.

"That's one area we'll look to do something. There's one or two things going on at the moment, but it's unlikely today or tomorrow, so we'll go with what we've got (against West Ham on Sunday).

"It's an important time. It is going to be difficult. We're working every hour God sends to get someone in."

 

Shame god doesn't exist then.

 

you cant say that for sure. no one can.

 

Let's not get this thread closed...

 

like a forum for kids this city board

threads closed left right and centre for **** all

swearing will be banned next

 

I Agree, I watched Aluko against arsenal and his movement was awful, picked the ball up way too deep and was never willing to make a run in the box and when he does get it he gives it away.

 

Personally I couldn't give two ****s either way, I find inappropriate censorship to be abhorrent and I'd welcome mediated debate about religion, it's just not allowed.
