Both played in QPR's last league game and so I guess may start tomorrow.
I liked Karl Henry, one of our few academy lads to have made it. A little underated in his time with us in my opinion.
Clint Hill a classic Pulis type player. What he lacked in quality, he more than made up for in guts, heart, effort and commitment. He probably never wanted to play left back, but served us well and rarely, if ever, let us down during his time here.
I hope they both get a warm reception if they feature.

Incredible that Hill still gets a game. He wasn't the quickest when he was here !

I hope they play Hill and Dunne at CB because we will destroy them if they do.

Strange to think he left us as he wasn't good enough for us anymore, suppose it shows how much of a stronger team we are now than the likes of QPR. I never rated Henry really, surprised he's playing in the Prem really, limited football. |

Good luck to the pair of them (except tomorrow), can't believe they are playing premier league football though

I thought Karl Henry was poor when he was at Stoke, and never really rated him since. Made the best of his talent so fair play to him, but pretty obvious why QPR are in relegation trouble with the likes of him playing regularly

Karl Henry is a central mid player but I think the problem he had at Stoke was that he was often played either wide right or at right back; he was quite often on the bench or if he started was often subbed. I would be interested to know how many times he played a full 90 minutes in his proper position - I would guess not many out of his total appearances, which were quite a few. A bit like Ryan Shotton who I felt also suffered from his versatility. Personally, I think both are better players than some of our fans gave them credit for (although neither would get into our team now). |

I seem to remember him being used at right back a fair bit. Would it have been Salif and Darel Russell who played centre mid when he was here? If so, that was in my opinion, Tony's dream midfield two. Both fairly disciplined and able to plug the holes and screen the back 4, with Salif winning a few headers, a brilliant tackler who played the simple ball to get us moving forward again, and Russell having the legs to get forward and support the front man. When Russell left, Dave Brammer probably kept Karl out of that position.
I always felt he was hoping Wilson Palacios would be the box to box Russell type of centre mid.

It does raise a smile that Karl Henry gets labelled a hard man these days.
He's nowhere near as good as Whelan either. Not even close.

I believe it would of been Russell, Brammer and Eustace around that time. I seem to remember Russell and Brammer being a pairing for a season or 2. |

Who could possibly forget Karl Henry's penalty shoot out miss v Oldham all those years ago?
The poor little lamb looked frightened to death and he was never, ever going to score it. Sudden death as well if I remember correctly.
He had some good games for us at right back did Karl Henry but never really got a chance in central midfield which is obviously his preferred position.

I think the cunning plan was for Russell to do all Brammer's running, and Brammer to do all Russell's passing. Problem was Brammer was fairly hopeless on the ball as well as totally immobile, so it turned out to be a terrible plan. |

Always liked clint, 110% every game from him (when fit) solid defender. As for that twat Henry. He really was one of the worst midfielders we had in years. A fucking awful footballer who grew up to be a horrible twat aswell. Break a leg Karl....

Hill has nothing but positives to say about Stoke, I guess it's the same for us when it concerns Hill. Never rated Henry that much, and really think he is a thug!  |

Always liked Clint Hill, a no nonsense old school defender who did a decent job for us. I had the pleasure of meeting him and his mrs out in the World Cup in Germany, and he was a down to earth, sound bloke.
As for Henry, never rated him at all and it speaks volumes that his premier league career has been spent in relegation fights, absolute horse shit to compare him with Whelan.

Hill deserves a lot of credit and will certainly get a clap from me tomorrow. Karl Henry (Karl the crab) was 2slow, and thought he was better than he was. I'm not sure what reception I'll give to him?!?!
