Taylor Gardner-Hickman is a young kid. Right back but has played other positions.

Diange has stunk the place out in the last two fixtures so not surprised to see HRK feature - it does highlight the lack of options we have when you consider he is our second choice centre forward.

We have nothing really to play for, except pride.
I feel that because of this, we can win in style. The pressure is off.

You do know that Kanu is starting right?

I'd rather had seen Diagne, Grant or Robinson in there.  Can't face 90 mins of watching it bounce of Kanu and him getting in the way of Pierera. 

Pierera gets the ball in a good position and looks up and the only option is Kanu...

I'd rather play a one-legged out of sorts Diagne up front than Kanu

Me too.  I wouldn’t have started him either.

Grant is clearly not a centre forward and neither is Robinson for that matter.

He could have played Harry Karry. He will probably get the same result (suicide).

Grant is clearly not a centre forward and neither is Robinson for that matter.

They'd both still do a better job than Kanu.  Watch him closely and for a player who is supposed to be good at holding the ball up, he's rubbish at it - his second touch is tackle.  He's got no pace, doesn't win anything in the air, doesn't bring others into the game.  At least with Robinson he'll chase the ball down and close players down, and can link up with Pierera and Diangana well.  You get none of that with Kanu.

I say all this, watch him score now!

I like the intention (using players who will be here next season again), don't necesserily love the execution (Diagne still a better option than HRK and playing without him hurts Diangana's prospects).

Hopefully Grant will get some time on the pitch with Diagne.

Don’t know who’s worse Diagne or HRK - both are cart horses
Might have been an opportunity to play a young ‘un up top.

Hal Robson-Kanu...ughhh   :-X

The guy is absolutely shocking. God knows how he's managed to make a career in football. Up there with such biffers such as Grant Holt and Steve Morison. Offers absolutely sweet f.a.

He might as well have a look at Diangana and see where he might fit in next season. We will no doubt need him.

HRK a waste of time really, but shows the lack of options. What an awful, unbalanced squad Dowling and/or Bilic created.

There is so much work to do to make us ready to challenge next season.

Yes - there’s an old saying that players suddenly become better in people’s minds when they’re not playing.

But HRK is the exception to the rule.
