Quote: Staffs FC "It would appear Horne and Seymour are first choice at this stage. I would suspect that the coach wants those two to have as much game time as possible (just the 80 minutes so far) to show what they can do. If either doesn't match up I'm sure Nicklas and Ellis will be in the frame. Very few teams will play their back up halves in their last friendlies.'"
Yes I agree with that and it is of course correct for Gentle to do that. However, I'm really hoping that one of Ellis or Nicklas makes it impossible for Gentle not to pick him because I really don't see us as a top four side with Horne as a permanent fixture.
It might seem a little harsh, he has been fantastic for Hull over the years, but I just don't think that he can perform consistently at the highest level anymore ,if at all.
