Bostock has the talent - Pearson

Hull manager Nigel Pearson agreed there was no denying the talents of John Bostock but he will be without the teenage midfielder at Preston on Friday. Bostock, 18, on a season-long loan from Tottenham, scored with a stunning 30-yard free-kick in the midweek draw at Leeds, but was later sent off for receiving a second yellow card with 12 minutes remaining. Pearson said: "He's shown what he's capable of and it was a fantastic strike. "But he's having to deal with the disappointment of being sent off as well. It was a mixed bag for him, but he showed just what he can bring to us." Bostock, who began his career at Crystal Palace before moving to Tottenham in a £700,000 deal two years ago, arrived at the KC Stadium in August and scored a similar goal to the one at Elland Road on Tuesday in the Tigers' opening-day win over Swansea.
