How's he doing for Preston ? Sad we let him go but he weren't getting play time here, anyway what's he been like this season for you ? Good buy/ bad buy ?
 
Re: Danny Pugh

A fairly indifferent start from Pugh, he does seem to offer little protection to our left back (most likely because he is told to play slightly inside left, apparently).

He got the goal at Derby, which is a fine thing to have done, and he has delivered well from the left.

We could certainly have done worse, and I think there is more to come.
 
Re: Danny Pugh

I like Danny Pugh, he had a very dodgy start to life at Preston and wasnt that convincing but I can see him becoming more of a key-role if we ever go 4-5-1 and use McKenna, Pugh and Sedge in the centre. He does look a lot more comfortable in the centre of the park, and personally I'd stick Whaley on the left tonight to cause Gary Kelly some problems, and let Sedge hold up Eddie Lewis on the right hand side.

What are the chances of seeing Gregan tonight?
 
Re: Danny Pugh

in fridays actim index, he is down as the 2nd best defender in the championship (although playing at left midfield all season) behind darren purse, but sat at 13th overall. last weekends games are to be added.

Gregan?Not good.Something to do with his contract, If he makes another appearance for us, it triggers a payment to the baggies.Don't know the amount though.On the positive side, Gregan did say that Wise had given everyone a clean slate so you never know.

About Pugh, I think he's better off as a left sided midfielder than a left-back, his attributes suit attacking, he's got a good left foot, he hit some very good goals for us back in 04/05.
 
Re: Danny Pugh

Danny pugh seems to have good delivery from corners but in open play i have yet to see him beat his man. Matt Hill (left back) has looked poor this season but think this is due to the fact that Pugh does not help back as much as he should. He was cheap so cant grumble but just wish he would try and beat a man
 
Re: Danny Pugh

He scored two of the most important goals for us this season, v Cardiff and Derby, goals that earned us 3 points. So, that has to be good, although there is room for improvement, but I reckon if he has a really good run of matches, he could be an outsanding player for us.

No, because it was 1-1 at the time so we already had one point???
so two he gained 2 there plus the one at derby = 3 points 😀
 
Re: Danny Pugh

But I'd agree that he had a very quiet start - but he's really begining to blossom now. Matt Hill is just not good enough & Pugh would be wasted playing that deep. If Hill has to be helped as much as he seems to have to be,- then he has to be helped TOO much.

Wrong, we had no points. Points are only awarded at the end of a game not half way through it. Therefore his efforts did actually earn us the 4 points.
