One of Coyle's worst traits was pissing around with new signings instead of throwing them in as we needed. I think Dougie has the potential to be even more infuriating in this respect.

Who cares that he's "still adapting"? What does this even mean? Is it the difference between the world beater we supposedly signed and the player that's apparently a weaker option than Darren Pratley? More to the point, does the key to this "adapting" lark lie in him staying at home?

I understand the concept of easing in, but there comes a point where it's illogical.

I'd rather have a 75% fit quality player than a 100% fit Pratley/Mavies/Andrews/Spearing/Lee.

I'd gladly give Wylde a chance, can he do much worse than Lee and Eagles?

Hull are a very counter-attacking team who don’t play out from the back,” he said. “It isn’t attractive to watch them but they are very resilient in what they do.

“They get a lot of goals from their crosses and their set pieces, so we need to make sure we are prepared for that and understand it.

“But they have also got their weaknesses and that’s where we have to make sure we go for them a little bit.”
