Peter Swan: David Meyler will be missed by Hull City
I have to admit that it took David Meyler a few games to win me over following his loan from Sunderland, but now I feel he would be missed if the Black Cats call him back after tonight's game at Derby.
When he first arrived I didn’t really think he offered much more than City already had at their disposal.
I couldn’t see what he could offer more than someone like Seyi Olofinjana, who has not been used much of late by Steve Bruce.
However, I have seen in the recent games why Bruce was so keen to bring him to the KC.

He brings a lot of aggression to the side in the way he plays, and importantly, although he does not have great pace, he has lots of energy.
This allows him to take up good positions, and make intelligent diagonal runs into the wide areas when City’s wing-backs have gone a little deep.
This intelligent running and good understanding of the game is creating more opportunities for City and giving players more options on the ball.
It has also brought him a couple of goals from midfield, even though he is mainly a defensive player, and those goals have proved vital in the wins over Watford and Huddersfield.
Two or three weeks ago I wouldn’t have said this, but he has been a key part of City’s progress.

“Definitely a class player but at the rate he is picking up yellow cards he would be sitting out games shortly anyway.”

“And what is a real sad is although Sunderland are recalling Meyler back, O'Neil is still saying in the press today, we need Meyler back but I don't actually think he is good enough. What a great way to inspire your player Mr O'Neil no wonder you're tottering on the brink of relegation.
Let him stay at Hull were he would be appreciated. Yes it was an unconvincing start but of course it was he had never played with the Hull team before. 2 games on and he has fitted in well and scored 2 goals in 2 matches..… Hurry back to where your appreciated Meyler, you will be welcome with open arms”
