Fuller is THE man
Let's face it without him we are mid table championship at best unless of course Peter gets his big fat wallet out.
I fear a run of games without him either injured or suspended.

He's not scored all the goals, he's obviously the main threat and therefore releases other to score but most of the goals are from set pieces... organisation and desire has something to do with it!
Come on TP get the defense sorted and we're ok.

Have we actually lost without Fuller this season? I can't remember for certain but I don't think we have.
Yes, we played badly on Tuesday, but I put that down more to being jaded after the Christmas schedule than Fuller missing. Look at it another way: we played probably our worst game this season and managed a draw; Hull played out of their skin and managed a draw.

I'd agree with you if Lawrence hadn't scored 8, Cresswell hadn't scored 8, Shawcross 7 and Cort 4....so basically you're wrong!

While I dont think that we are a "One Tick Pony" I do think that Fuller (Or another player in the Fuller mould) is critical to our success.
What he brings to the team is the ability to hold the ball up, even when picking the ball up on the half way line there is always the chance that he will force his way towards the opposition penalty area, and allow time for our second striker/midfield to get up with play.
What the game showed on Tuesday was that we diont have another striker with those same attributes, the ball wasnt held up by our front two to allow us to hold possession and relieve the pressure on the defence. Parkin and Sidebe both gave the ball away to cheaply which allowed Hull to be a more constant attacking force than most other teams we have played recently.
Just my opinion!

Two-trick pony:
Fuller + set pieces.
However, they're both particularly good tricks, so who's complaining?
