Thread: Pre match Q&A Hull City (H) 16.1.2010

Are you embarrassed by Browns arrogance?

He is a smug coont. Why is that as he has actually achieved nothing............ever???

Sorry about the delay, have a lot of things to sort out. Should have some answers up tonight.

It might be some time, no answers for last 3 houres.

Their probably having a crisis meeting to come up with some answers for us

what went wrong last season after a great start ? Teams learned how to play us & management changed the play from an attacking to defensive formation

Reckon you can stay up this season?
Heart says yes, head says no....it depends on the fitness of key players

Do you expect much activity from your club in the remaining couple of weeks of the January transfer window? Only if we can offload players, don't see us bringing any in other than on loan

Which positions in your team would you like to strengthen the most? Right back, centre back, forward

Does Phil Brown have the fans' backing or are most fans becoming impatient and perhaps want to see him out? I think the jury is out, even many of those unhappy with Brown will continue to support him this season, but if we are relegated I'm sure a few more axes will be out

Do you think you can return to the EPL swiftly if you go down? In our current financial state...no....I'd see us doing more of a Leeds or Southampton

How important is Jimmy Bullard's fitness to your survival in the Prem? Very, even if only for the inmpact he has on morale/motivation

Last season you had the worst home record, this season you have a terrible away record what's changed? It's what we've not changed in my opinion.....very much a continuation of poor form from December 08 with occasional blips (the Jimmy B effect)

Which of the three ex-Tottenham Hotspur players currently on Hull City's books - Nick Barmby, Dean Marney and Anthony Gardner - do you consider the most valuable to your team? Barmby is past his best, Marney is pretty near useless so I'd have to say Gardner if we can keep him fit

What players would you have in a hull city 5 a side? Myhill, Dawson, Zayatte, Bullard, Hunt

what position do you think yourselves and spurs will end up this year? Spurs top 6, City bottom 4

what are ur opinions on harry redknapp and his management style?
I like Harry, great manager & motivator

who do you see as the dangermen for both teams this weekend?
Hunt for City, Keane/Defoe for Spurs

if you could have 3 players from the spurs squad who would you choose? Keane, Defoe, Lennon

what went wrong last season after a great start ?
We got found out. At first teams didn't know too much about us and then started to pick up on where our strengths and weakenesses were.

Reckon you can stay up this season?
Yes. 17th will do fine for me.

Do you expect much activity from your club in the remaining couple of weeks of the January transfer window?
No, we're skint apparently and the clear out isn't going well.

Which positions in your team would you like to strengthen the most? Striker.
We need a goal scorer desperately.

Does Phil Brown have the fans' backing or are most fans becoming impatient and perhaps want to see him out?
Half & half. He's like Marmite you either like him or you don't. There is alot of impatiency at home matches but away the fans are usually more supportive of the team & Browny,

Do you think you can return to the EPL swiftly if you go down?
No. I think we'll struggle if we go down. We won't be able to shift the crap players we bought under Duffen so he'll still have a hefty wage structure & players turning up in flash B4x4 BMWs.

How important is Jimmy Bullard's fitness to your survival in the Prem?
We're pretty much reliant on him. I just hope we keep onto Hunt and Geo starts to find his feet again.

Last season you had the worst home record, this season you have a terrible away record what's changed?
We've worked on the home form alot. Plus we're down the bottom so if we had a good home & away form all year there would be nothing wrong with us and we'd be comfortably mid table.

Which of the three ex-Tottenham Hotspur players currently on Hull City's books - Nick Barmby, Dean Marney and Anthony Gardner - do you consider the most valuable to your team?
Gardner- just becuase he's done well this season with Zayatte in defence. Marney isn't a prem player and can't hit a barn door to save his life and Barmby can only play 40 minutes tops, he's getting on abit now. Hopefully Gardner stays fit- touch wood.

What players would you have in a hull city 5 a side?
Myhill, Bullard, Hunt, Zayatte, Geo

what position do you think yourselves and spurs will end up this year?
17th for us
Spurs 5th

what are ur opinions on harry redknapp and his management style?
I like Redknapp he plays good football and he's got the players at Spurs doing well. I just wish his son would feck off Sky Sports & those Thompsons ads.

who do you see as the dangermen for both teams this weekend?
For us- nobody will give your lot sleepless nights. For Spurs i'm wary of Defoe, Keane, Modric, Lennon- any of them. I mean your defensive midfielder scored his first ever goal here against us in the first match. Your whole team is packed with quality. What a fantastic answer!

if you could have 3 players from the spurs squad who would you choose?
Modric, Lennon, Defoe- all quality
