Much needed experience coming his way

Now that we've signed Skrtel, it frees up Hobbs to go out and gain some much needed experience, which is precisely what he's doing. Scunthorpe have secured his services for the remainder of the season and given that they're in a relegation battle in the Championship, it should enable Hobbs to see plenty of action. Hyypia probably won't be around much longer, so having a more experienced Hobbs back next season means we'd have plenty of cover in central defence.
