I'd be tempted to rest Taarabt for Hull

[The White City General]

In all fairness I think have provided a balanced argument for my suggestion. I view Hull as one of those games where will will probably just pick up point regardless of Taarabt playing. Its not that we are no capable of getting a win but I think we have won something like 1 game away since October. I guess I'm not panicking as much as the rest of you with 19 games to play.

No panic mate, just believe in playing your best player when available

My concern is we add to the risk of him not being available to play when it matters most due to a hectic 15 day schedule. I'd be livid if he picks up a knock which rules him out of the next 3 league matches on a poxy away day draw at Hull. Just like a poxy away day at Blckburn done Jamie Mackie, its fixtures like these ooop norf which sometimes you have to send a team out to grind a result out IMO.

For the first time in a long time the opposition can't double up on Adel in the belief that if you negate him you stop Rangers attacking threat - because by doing it they will leave Routledge unmaked - they can't be that daft can they - so if you leave Adel out, you make Hull's job easier - they will have a headache trying to cope with both so don't give them the Anadin extras for nowt.

would play him...after a decent performance against coventry we need to keep the ball rolling plus we need to pick up a few points away and hull are not the best team in the league by any stretch-could prove to be 3 valuable points if we can get them.

You do make a very good point.

Interestingly reading the Hull predictions thread though most seem to think this will be one of those games as well and have predicted a bore draw yet not one person shares my view point. You never know we may put in the performance of the season up there but personally I'll be grateful to come away with a point and no injuries. Especially with what may end up being a high tempo full blooded affair against Pompey on Tuesday night.

Yeah, you could be onto something there, haven't heard from him lately, he'll probably reappear if he gets transferred or dropped though.

Adel, Negativity = Paul Mason

You really have to get a life.

Crazy talk

[The White City General]

Always felt this would be one of those games.

Hopefully Adel will turn it around in the second half, I try to look at the positives....can't see anyone putting in a bid for him after that little performance before the end of the transfer window. A few more strops like that and he may also be here for a while yet!!!

[G.T.P]

that stupid strop has made certain he aiint going nowhere this season, and i doubt next either. glad hes done it actually. lol
