1. We don't really need him and probably couldn't justify the extra wages on a player who might not start 2. They've lost Wood and Henderson this month so were desperate to sign someone
Unfortunately I predicted this. Jackett praised him before our game at the Toolbox.
After Wood turned the Spanners down,Tyson got injured and Henderson departed it was a no brainer that Jackett would not go for Hulse for exactly the same reasons SCP did when Fuller and Kermorgant got injured.He is probably the best available Championship target man striker.Our budget probably does not stretch to a third of that type of striker which is a shame.
Rob Hulse has been for them a bit like Darren Purse for us in that he has nearly signed there twice in his career and has been linked with the Spanners during most transfer windows in recent years.
If Kermogant, Fuller and BWP are all fit then I don't think he's a huge loss personally
You say that but we don't know if Fuller will be here next season and there is a very strong chance that BWP will be gone.
We are capable of winning without Haynes, but I feel so much more confident about us going forward when he is in the side. We don't have anyone with half his pace.
Let's be realistic here, Millwall have just lost one of the best strikers in the division in Wood and have replaced him with a journeyman - albeit a decent one - in Hulse.
They are still far worse off in losing Wood + Henderson and gaining Hulse.

Correct, Wood for them is far more of a loss than Hulse is for us.
With Haynes, BWP, Yann and Fuller fit we do not need Hulse. With 1 or 2 of these injured we do need him.
I think they're looking at it as if to say we look like we're going to stay up, therefore don't need to lump more on the wage bill with another forward. With Fuller and Haynes nearing fitness again I don't think it'll be a massive miss, although I did like Hulse.

Think we all know what's going to happen in March now.
He was a decent option - not necessarily an automatic pick, but very useful.
Now he is at our most hated rivals. Gutted.
Problem is we got him in when kerm and fuller were injured. Where would he fit in the squad now.
Then again Millwall have just sold one of their strikers so they've got that to spend on wages for Hulse (if indeed they are paying his wages that is)
Anything apart from "can't have" and I am not sure I can agree.

I wish him but not them the best of luck.
