Unlike Millwall I expect Hull to come at us.
I would move Maguire central and try Horgan wide with Barky.This means dropping Harrop to the bench but I think him and DJ are too similar.
Gives us more pace on the counter.

Hull are the home side therefore will attack. Our play should suit that so more of the same please.

Maybe Browne for Welsh unless Pearson is fit to resume otherwise no real case for changing from Saturday's starting line-up. But Horgan probably deserves some more time on the pitch then he is getting at the moment.

Really??? Welsh should have MOM on Saturday. Browne offered very little when he came on

I think the point is that against a team who will try to attack more and therefore leave themselves that bit more open at the back Browne will give us more counter-attacking potential.

Should be back after the international break and would be surprised to see him before hand.

Pearson has already missed over half the games so far, yet some people were saying over the summer it’s pointless bringing in a midfielder because they won’t play much behind him.

We need a better back-up/competitor for that role than Welsh, who isn’t up to the job technically. We struggled to play through the middle on Saturday because of it, Neil said as much himself post-match.

I think in fairness some people said you wouldn't sign someone to replace him when he was suspended, as though it was a given and acceptable that he'll miss 6+ matches through bans, and picking up avoidable cards.

I don't think anyone was saying we shouldn't be looking at signing a further CM.

Welsh did well on Saturday, and no one after the Cardiff game said we needed an upgrade on Welsh, but a poor result and suddenly we do.
 
i'd make 2/3 changes in the midfield/attack bringing in Browne, Horgan and maybe Malv. to freshen it up with fatigue in mind.

He’s been a good clubman but I think we’ve needed an upgrade on him for a while. Someone that can play twice a week would be a start.

I think Welsh is doing his usual tbh. A barnstorming return to the side (Cardiff) and then beginning to drop off.

He’ll do a few dramatic slide challenges which get a round of applause but his quality on the ball is lower league standard. That left us with only Johnson who could play it through the thirds and subsequently we ended up going long quite often, playing into Millwall’s hands.

He is not a sufficient back-up for Pearson and it needs addressing in January. They’ve been good servants, but Welsh and Gallagher need replacing in the next 1-2 windows.

I don't disagree, I've been saying Gallagher should be replace 18 months ago, but it's also a tad harsh to say Welsh has dropped off. He does tend to yes but so far he's put in some very good performances, especially considering the year of not playing, but he's no Pearson and no one has ever claimed he is.

Johnson, Harrop, Barkhuizen, McGuire and Hugill, with Fisher joining in, should have enough about them for us not to have to go long as often.
 
The guy we missed on Saturday was Gallagher. That game was crying out for a bit of class and a killer ball.
 
I think Josh looked tired and it wouldnt surprise me if AN gave him a rest.......

But will it be Woods; Spurr or O'Connor that gets the nod? My tip is Woods....in his Wembley role!
