It's b0ll0x, we're not reliant on them. How many goals and assists has Guly chipped in with in the last few games? He's our best performing forward currently.
He's on record as saying he'll pack the midfield - could be bluff of course, but I think you're right they'll try to stop us playing and hope to nick something.
Which is why he's a good loan signing. Hopefully Seabourne will play for Saints again though, so unless Hooiveld is better than Seabourne there'd be no point in signing him permanently.
So far he's managed a grand total of... wait for it... one substitute appearance for QPR. Something tells me we may have trouble finding some other club to fob him off on come January.
