Team for hull game?

Re: Team for hull game?

Like we said a point would be more than Sunderland shef united or Millwall took from hull when hull visited.

Hull are flying away from home. Even at full strength a point would be great but with this squad a point would be fantastic.

It's a shame we can't defend, I think both sides would be very happy to shake hands on a 0-0 and edge closer away from the bottom 3. We're going to have to score, though. I'd gamble on Robinson, the cup game is a free hit, Burnley haven't conceded in 12, we've kept 1 clean sheet in 20 so were, so we've got 10 days until the next game that we can get anything from.

Re: Team for hull game?

Are there any free agents we could bring in to help sort out the defence.

Also we need a coach to organise the defence. Apparently it's Ramasut's role so I'd get rid of him as he's the common factor regarding our dreadful defence these last few years.

Why is ramasut in a job? We've had so many changes yet he's still here? How?

I refer you to Richard Shaw, who some were crediting with out last upturn in results, whenever that was, i can't remember. Not seen anything about him since......

Just to add, i am neither crediting Shaw with our upturn (at the time) or blaming him for our downturn (most weeks) i don't think it works like that.

Our best back 4 is a winger, a left back, a centre back and a centre mid. I'm not sure what any coach could do with that? The players we've got to pick from in defence (even with everyone fit) just aren't up to the task.

I'm not absolving Ramusat or Riza of responsibility, and they're not without blame but you can't polish a turd

Just seen a poll doing the rounds on Twitter asking if we have a good squad/good manager, with over 70% saying we have a good squad! What the f*ck have they been watching!?!

A few weeks back Riza gave a very informative press conference where he detailed back room staff roles and responsibilities. I was surprised that neither Purse or Shaw had responsibility for defence

Why not? I always think one familiar face in the background consistently is always good, particularly when we change manger so often. Some stability is good…plus he brings a bit of celebrity with him, decent guy too:thumbup:

People have deluded themselves into thinking players like Willock are underperforming and are actually good because they score a good goal once a season.

Willock proved he can do well and score goals at this level while at QPR. Problem is he also had periods where he was ineffective and there were allegedly some attitude problems. Bulut and Riza haven't managed to get much out him so far, but his past record indicates that there's a decent player in there somewhere.

Cifuentes is a good manager at this level, and he got 4 goals and 4 assists out of Willock last season. I don't think Willock fits into any system we've used, he's not quick enough to be a winger and doesn't work hard enough to be central. This is also my issue with "play Robinson as a 10", you're basically playing 2 strikers as midfielders can literally walk past them. Still, we've got 2 years left for Willock to change my mind, as nobody is going to buy him!

Looking at who's about the only realistic ones would be.....

Nathan Ferguson - still only 23 - can play anywhere across the back. Started at West Brom then went to Palace 4 years ago for £4m where it didn't work out. Hasn't played since July though.

or

Ayo Obileye who's a london born 30yo journeyman centre back. Last played in Jan out in China. Youth career with Chelsea and Sheff Wed. Most of his football was played in Scotland where he spent 3 seasons from 2021 in the Prem for Livingston

Nathan Ferguson has been almost permanently injured since he joined Palace. He played 1 game in 4 seasons.
