Match Thread - Hulse starting tonight

[Ablockhoop]

why would you be suprised? hes played lb hes whole career

[QPR Richard]

I'd be surprised if MH thinks of Traore as a LB. if he does it'll mean he's back up to Taiwo and bye bye Clint Hill.

[Norths]

Does this mean he is in the 25?

[EYR]

Hulse could be a different player playing up front with someone running off him.

[Ablockhoop]

i hope not stanrod but troare has been a left back hes whole career. i hope hes pushed forward tho because i think hes got bags of ability

I think you need to look at the bigger picture with Hulse anyway. OUr main goal threat will be Cisse, and MH probably thinks the best link up person and foil for him tonight will be Hulse. That's good enough for me.

Also, he looked ok on Sat when he came on so let's give him a chance.

[stainrod10]

any chance that traore isnint considered a left winger and swp will be there and mackie to keep right wing.....

we have had no indication from hughes that troare will be played there

Been thinking exactly the same - wouldn't be surprised.

So what? He must have shown Sparky something for him to pick him, and who are we to disagree? He see sim everyday in training.

Yes he wa spoor, but some players seem a different player under a new manager: Helguson anybody?

He wont be in the side after tonight anyway with adel coming back and Zamora being able to play, so lets just back him for tonight

Yeah a brown paper bag, i see no other reason,

Hulse was better in 10 mins than Macheda was in 45 so deserves to be ahead of him on that basis.

Shocking bench we have though, will look a lot better when traore, taarabt and the mali guy are back.

Buz injured after a MASSIVE 3 game run?

let hope MH PLAY traore on the left wing on sat

[budgiebyrne]

would have hulse before anyone of the pre-hughes era apart from helguson. hopefully bothroyd the lazy **** will never wear the shirt again! still think hulse can come good. mackie though?? impact player end of

Got to get behind the team now whoever is playing.

It's a turbulent time for the squad - new manager, new players, lots of expectation, lots of uncertainty.

They need our full support - each and every one of them.

Good luck lads - do yourselves proud.

[w12dave]

Unless he's got the sh*ts. Wasn't he meant to have some bottom issue? (And NO, this is not an attempt to revive a discussion of a couple of days ago).

[Robsondinho]

Hulse done ok when he came on saturday, hope he does well tonight, clean slate and all that.
