A bit strange as you say, just signed 2 outside backs on loan when we already have 2 wingers on loan as well and we only have 1 winger injured and another who hardly played a minute in the first team.
Makes you wonder if Blackmores” injury is worse than they thought or even career ending as this is probably his last season.

Jayden Okunbor on loan. What a terrible terrible signing. He's been absolutely dreadful for Hull. No idea what we're thinking with this. We're getting players back so bringing people on loan again is just going to cause disruption. He's not an improvement on any of our squad.

Genuinely can't see Okunbor getting into your squad. He's by far the worst overseas signing I've seen for Hull, he's refused a pay off by all accounts so we just want him out the way....

Sounds like we've been shopping Tindall about too. Wouldn't be surprised to see you have him for the rest of the season. Talk of us swapping Tindall for Deon Cross from Salford next year

Ockunbor is a strange one, played 17 hates for the Bulldogs last year, so there must be a player there who could play SL, so he should do well in the championship.

Mainly played backroemw the last few seasons.

Just not sure he wants to be here, doesn't look happy, not a bad defender and regularly made 30 to 40 tackles, but seems to hardly touch the ball and doesn't look too much of an attacking threat.

Despite us being rubbish he hasn't even made the 21 squad recently, us preferring youngsters kids (that its a joke to him bsck story )instead if him and last week was dropped to the bench for the reserves.

I'd be suprised if he ever plays for Hull again.

I questioned the number of loan signings on the Bulls official Facebook page. At the forum I asked specifically asked about loans and how EOB would manage it given the problems the side had with them disrupting things early last season. Both he and Jason Hirst said there wouldn't be a revolving door on the changing room and we wouldn't be going back to the days of using 40 or 50 players a season.

Well we're up to 31 now this season IIRC. Leigh Beattie replied to my query and said "it's not EOB". That suggests someone else is signing all these loan players.

Our injury crisis couldn't be any worse. We have 10 players out injured. Of the 19 named for this week 6 have also had injuries.
Without the 4 loan players this week we would only had 15 players.

Baldwinson played reserves last week. Is he not fit for first team selection yet?

He didn't play for the reserves last night against Leeds, so possibly could have had a set back.

Hearing Salford have signed Harvey Wilson as well with immediate effect.

No setback for Baldy, he will just get better game time at Rochdale than a game in our reserves as was this week against Leeds, especially when our reserves is effectively the older end academy lads

Re: 2024 Squad Latest Update : Fri May 17, 2024 10:40 pm  

Scurr for Okoro makes perfect sense, why play Baldy who is still trying to get back to fitness against what looks like the 2nd best side in the league currently, miles too early at the moment for JB
