Buh 0 Posted December 9, 2013 I''d very much like to drag Swansea down the table. Southampton have taken their crown as the media luvvies favourite and I smell blood in the water. Time to put the boot in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BOO 0 Posted December 9, 2013 Had to be Danny Graham, always the way.Hull are working really hard without the ball, putting Swansea under pressure when Swans have the ball. Swansea will give the ball away if pressed.If we stand off like we have been doing we will play into their hands, if we put them under pressure and work hard off the ball then we should do well.

littleyellowbirdie 2,412 Posted December 9, 2013 Got to say, I''m slightly impressed by how Hull have been doing.Think a draw would be the best result for us from this one. If we hold onto the confidence from West Brom, I''''m hopeful we can take all three points on Saturday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

manbearpig 0 Posted December 9, 2013 I think Hull have slipped under the radar! Everyone thinks they should be a push over but they set themselves up very well! They defend as such a big unit and work so hard they are very difficult to break down! I think we missed out not going in for Davies! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hull have done very little but don''t have to with a goal lead. Swansea will lose this if they don''t up the pace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BroadstairsR 2,093 Posted December 9, 2013 Only so many rear-guard performances that Hull can get away with in a season.Swansea playing Monday night, Thursday (?) and then against us on Sunday. Mnmm. Handy.Huddleston''s fitness seems to be holding out. He was on our radar in the Summer I seem to remember. Many poo-pood the idea because of his physical problems but he might have been useful. Hull will miss him a lot if he does need time out. . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After a season of moans about ''negative'' Hughton, and working to build more offensive capability we now want a manager who is proving very good at parking the bus?
