Poor start to the season? Hull will be lucky to put out a 5-a-side team. I think we'll just have a bit to much for them. 1-0. Penalty from Lansbury (89 mins).
I'd now start v hull like thisjohnstonehutton (I think that if he's here Bruce will play him so no point not picking him)ChesterTerryTaylorElmohamadyWhelanHourihaneLansburyGabbyHoganSubs:SteerBreeSambaThorGrealishGreenDavis

Either Thor or Grealish to come in for hourihane with Lansbury partnering whelanNot decided on green versus gabby for the left wing slot
I really like Amavi. It does look as if he's finally over his injury but Taylor hasn't done too much wrong to deserve to be dropped either.
If you go as far back as 10/15 years ago they were probably up there competing to be in the top four in the Premier League
I'm not sure what people are expecting this season, from watching the two 45 minute games as well as the other pre-season encounters, I can see that we do look more assured and solid at the back but as soon as we try to play the ball around whether it's at the back, in midfield or even occasionally in the attacking third of the pitch, we still can't retain the ball for more than 4/5 passes.We get more and more hurried then give it away or hoof it up the pitch to no-one, even when under no pressure at all, we still give the ball away with sloppy mis-placed passes. I can't see top two until we can control a pass and move it on to a player in the right coloured shirt, only then will we start to create chances for who-ever plays in the striker roles.
We are going straight up. Empty your bank accounts and get to the bookmakers. See you all in the Seychelles in June.
