Hull v Blues.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Blues are up north this Saturday for the game at Hull hoping to record back to back away wins for the first time this season.

As we stand we are 10 points off sixth place, can we make a late charge for that last play off place ?

Has Zigic been making an effort in training this week ? Does anyone apart from Clark care ?

Away win for me !

Thoughts anyone ?

I care! The reason i care? If he made more of an effort in training he'd be fitter during the game and wouldn't fade after 30 mins.
Also, how do the other players feel about a player who doesn't make the effort but gets picked over them, who do?

If he trained properly he wouldn't last 15 mins !

He needs his legs fresh for match day not worn out.
