Simpson in Tigers squad

Jay Simpson has been added to the Hull squad for their home game against Watford. Simpson joined the Tigers from Arsenal on Thursday evening and is expected to make his debut against the Hornets. Robert Koren could also make his full debut but Craig Fagan is still waiting for his first appearance of the season. Slovenia skipper Koren signed a two-year deal in time to step off the substitutes' bench in last week's 4-0 defeat at Millwall and is expected to be handed a more prominent role. Fellow midfielder Fagan has yet to appear this season due to a groin injury and is not ready to return. Manager Nigel Pearson is expected to make several changes after last week's disappointing display. Pearson could also be tempted to hand Paul McShane a starting place. The Republic of Ireland international impressed after replacing Nolberto Solano at Millwall. Midfielder Jimmy Bullard is still unavailable as the club look to offload their highest earner.
