Re: Hull's loan and purchased players

Their new (albeit short-term) manager has made an instant improvement, they have a chance of staying up now.
Regarding us being safe, i think we need to re-evaluate our situation after the next 4 away games. We've certainly given ourselves a decent chance of survival, but it's no time for complacency.

And anyway, what are the benefits of resting players? I suppose Bournemouth can be happy that in the two games since they threw the cup tie, they've got a point - at home to Watford. They were tubbed at Hull. Still, it's a point - who knows how many or how few they would have had if they had played...

Lots of conjecture there, Claretspice.


I thought the Stephens non-transfer went more like he originally hinted at a move up north which instigated our interest. Brighton said no deal so nothing the club could have done on that one.
