Hull Away on April Fools Day
My first match post.
I'm going to this one and expect 3 points, but it's never that straightforward.
A few injuries knocking around so likely to be a changed X1.

Think Masuaka deserves a chance, really haven't been impressed with cresswell this season think he'll benefit knowing that his position is at risk
Hopefully Noble will be reinvigorated after being dropped
Antonio, Reid and Obiang are all big misses....but we can win this, need a big reaction from the guys
He might be reinvigorated, but 'dropped' won't be the reason. ;hmm
We wont get dragged into the relegation battle (we'll have 36 points after we beat Hull - Even if we don't, the bottom 3 currently will not catch us up and will be the ones who fall)

I think it should be relatively clear that Caroll; Antonio, Lanzini, Ayew should be our front four if we play 4-2-3-1, with Feghouli and Snodgrass chasing Ayew's place.
I'd give Adrian a go in goal now. Tough one, but I think Randy's put in some mixed performances, and if Adrian doesn't play from now to the end of the season, he may leave. And I'd like to give him a crack at regaining his place.
So, I'd go for:
Carroll
Antonio, Lanzini, Ayew
Obiang, Noble
Masuaku, Fonte, Kouyate (if Reid out), Byram
Adrian
On the defence, Byram confirmed against Leicester my view that he could do a decent job at WB but is not a good enough at RB. But as we sink closer to the relegation zone, I'm beginning to wonder whether we can afford to give him the run of games he needs at RB. I think maybe we should go back to three at the back - for me, that implies a slightly deeper role for Lanzini or more responsibility for Obiang, but I think, while not ideal, they can both handle that:
Antonio; Carroll; Ayew
Masuaku; Obiang, Lanzini; Byram
Kouyate, Collins (if Reid out), Fonte
Adrian
Alternative with 3 at the back is to move Antonio to RWB n place of Byram and play 3-5-2. But I'd prefer to have Antonio higher up the pitch and keep on giving Byram some game time in a RWB position for now.
Byram, Fonte, Collins, Cresswell
Noble, Obiang
Antonio, Lanzini, Masuaku
Ayew
Adrian in for Randy
Assuming Reid isn't fit. Give Collins a game.
Try Masuaku in an advanced left wing position.
Kouyate - Collins - Fonte
Byram - Noble - Obiang - Snodgrass
Lanzini
Ayew - Carroll
Adrian
Sam-lanz-Ant-cheik-nobes-ging-fonte-cress-snod
Carroll
You've got to have either Fonte or Ginge in the middle. Not Nobes. The most important part of a back 9 is having a tall player in the middle. Everyone knows that!
If the reports are true then no Reid, Obiang or Antonio so.......
Randrian
Byram Fonte Collins Cressuaku
Snodghouli Noble Kouyate Lanzini
Ayew Carroll
Beat Hull and then we can all moan (from mid-table safety) that the players minds are on their holidays
Byram - Collins - Fonte - Cresswell
Noble - Kouyate
Snodgrass - Lanzini - Ayew
Carroll
Randolph, Masuaku, Nordtveit, Fernandes, Feghouli, Calleri, Fletcher
3 of our best performers are out and we still have a very decent looking first 11...
Collins never lets us down so that the front four looked good.
I would like us to review and maybe have 3 in the middle to help cut down on conceding.

It can really sting if someone chucks it at you!
It has sharp pointy ends.
