Looks like Lua Lua and Buckley will still be injured, which is a bit of a blow. Assuming we don't get a new striker in time I'd like to see us line up like this:

Kuszczak

Bruno
Greer
El-Abd
Bridge

Crofts
Bridcutt
Vicente

Barnes
CMS
Noone

Subs:
Brez
Calderon
Dunk
Dicker
Agdestein
Sparrow
Barker

i hope that most of our squad are fit and that Gus realises yet again that playing Dunk and Greer together does not work.

I think that he needs to make 4 changes to the side

El Abd for Dunk
Croft for Dicker
Lua Lua for Noone
CMS for Harley

Then go 4-4-2 with Barnes and CMS up front assuming that we haven't signed another striker before then.

You posted while I was typing so perhaps the mods will merge the two. I agree with most but would say go 4-4-2 so drop Noone back to wide midfield and also Dickenson on the bench instead of Barker. I think that he is an exciting prospect.

I think the OP has it about right. It's a real pity about Buckley/KLL but you got to think if there's any way they can play a part one or both will

Would be surprised to see Barnes, CMS and vicente and Noone in the same team, does not appear to be Gus's way.

Same back four then:

Crofts Dicker Briddcutt

Vicente Barnes Buckley/LuaLua

last night opened my eyes a little in that the new striker is much more pressing that I thought. I had believed we had enough for the time being but that look wrong last night. If the rumours are true and it is about wages then the need to pay what is needed, within reason, is required.

What was the point in opening negotiations knowing you could not afford to pay the player what he needed, you must have an indication of what he wants at the outset before spending time working on it?

I thought Kaz was likely to be for for Saturday?

Based on this Argus article it looks like Kazenga should be free to start, so play him over Noone and Noone over Dicker on the bench. If he's not quite 100% put Kazenga on the bench (again for Dicker) and have him replace Noone at maybe 65 minutes.

with injuries, just read the Argus, looks like the same team as last night with Crofts for Harley. Not that confident about Hull now.

For me:

Kuszczak

Bruno
Greer
El-Abd
Bridge

Crofts
Bridcutt
Vicente

Lua Lua
CMS
Agdestein / Barnes


I would have a new striker in the team, but it looks like we won't have one by then.

I think he will continue with Dunk alongside Greer which is the wrong choice.
