Wober and Struijk potentially missing is a blow and maybe Ampadu might get the nod at the back unless it`s too much of a risk with him not yet match fit.
Interesting comment about Rothwell and Tanaka compared to Gruev and Ampadu there Tad.
If memory serves me right we were not in the top 3 for away performances last year.
I`m hoping we do bring in a couple of players in January and if Firpo is going to leave maybe look at a LB to go with a striker and a 10.

Sheffield United have agreed a loan for Ben Brererton Diaz.

[quote="Jack Burton":11uiao9k]Sheffield United have agreed a loan for Ben Brererton Diaz.[/quote:11uiao9k] Someone we should have looked at. That's a good signing for them.

[quote="tad rhino":2pwk5tqu]did I mention the inbred hull scum with Turkish flags. threatened to get out of hand big style[/quote:2pwk5tqu] They are scum, and they know it will provoke a response. Not sure they are actually committing an offence by waving a national flag, and that’s why they push their luck. I recently reported a lad to the manager at my gym for walking around with a Free Palestine sweatshirt with a massive flag on the front. He told me he wouldn’t be doing anything immediately because no actual offence had been committed. He then told me the rememberance poppy I was wearing could be offensive to some people, in other words, live and let live. I told him it was the most ridiculous comparison he could make and after some toing and froing left with the understanding he would have a word with the lad at a later date and try to reason with him. A few years back the lad with the Turkish flag would have been noted and ended up with a different shaped nose outside the ground.

plenty tried to get at him and I wish they had. stewards and police didnt want to know.
