Hull City paper talk: Blades missing Harry Maguire and George Boyd aims to emulate Tigers' success

Our daily blog with the latest news, transfer rumours and gossip about Hull City in the Premier League.

HDM Sport on Facebook HARRY Maguire's move to Hull City is continuing to cause problems for Sheffield United, who have admitted they are desperate for defensive cover to cope with his loss. Manager Nigel Clough has seen his side concede seven goals in two games, meaning that Maguire continues to be linked with a loan move back to Brammall Lane. Having failed to play a single minute in the Premier League this season, the 21-year-old could see some first-team action this week when the Tigers travel to West Brom in the Capital One Cup. But should Bruce's boys suffer an early exit, speculation will only increase about Maguire going out on-loan.Boyd keen to emulate Tigers' model GEORGE Boyd has told his Burnley team-mates to follow Hull City's example and secure their Premier League survival by securing clean-sheets. The Clarets are still waiting for their first win in the top flight after a third successive goalless draw, at home to Sunderland on Saturday. After arriving for £3m, the 28-year-old made his home debut and says he can see similarities between the Tigers and the Clarets. "Steve Bruce was always building on the defence and you build forward," he told the Lancashire Telegraph. "If you keep clean sheets you'll win games, so it's very similar, and a great team spirit very similar to Hull. "We've got a great base, three clean sheets for us is great and gives us something to build on, we just need that goal. "Eventually our luck will change."Jelavic is hot on Geovanni's tail CITY may not have been in the top flight for too many seasons, but the fact that Nikica Jelavic is now their second highest Premier League scorer speaks for itself. The Croatian international took his tally to seven in 21 starts for the Tigers with his great goal at Newcastle and he is now behind only Geovanni in goal charts. And the spectacular scissor-kick at St James' Park will no doubt get fans thinking about the great volleys they have seen down the years from the men in black and amber.
