woops! great minds think alike there! mods, please merge or delete my thread! pleased to see the three new guys starting - also perhaps hulse will figure in hughes plans? or maybe its because everyone else is injured!
No HH, no Buzz, no Traore. But on the bright side, no Betty, no Dyer.... At the weekend, swap Derry for Taarabt or Diakate, swap Hulse for Zamora, and probably Mackie for Traore.
I can live with that lineup, Hulse in for Smith only change from what I've expected. Hulse was positive against Chelsea and this is his last chance saloon before the 25 gets anounced tomorrow.
Got a feeling Hulse will be better suited to MH's style, I think Hulse struggled with NW's formation the same way Betty has struggled. Assume Hulse is in the 25 man squad then? or hasnt it been announced yet?
HH and Buz are injured think. Taarabt and Traore aren't back yet, but as you said should be for weekend game. Although Traore hasn't played a single game while he's been away. What position does Diakate play?
I do remember Hulse winning a lot of headers against Reading last year that no one ran on to, maybe Cisse will be able to feed off him. He also missed an open goal, but lets look at the positives!!!
