Hugill

Good - That just proves we have three attacking players who all offer something different. Might be getting ahead of myself here but this is the most exciting Preston team since Billy Davies was manager, and I think we can go far under Grayson. I just hope fans are patient with him because as we know some like getting on his back after every defeat (not naming any names.)
You have to remember where Jordan was and where he is now, 4 years ago he was pouring pints behind a bar trying to make it and yesterday he was giving 2 multi million pound defenders a hell of a good game.
What Hugill's lacks which is composure and instinct you usually get coached into you as it becomes something you have to learn to succeed and move through the ranks at clubs. Hopefully SG and co can coach this into him and maybe he can pick it up as he gets more games under his belt.
Hugill most certainly isn't a donkey and will continue to develop hopefully into a good centre forward, he doesn't lack pace, strength, willingness or passion and just needs to polish up on his other skills as he gains experience.

Probably Hugills best game in over a month, will be interesting to see if Grayson goes back to him again on Saturday
Ron composure and instinct is something you have or you haven't and doesnt come as part of coaching.
Why do we have to remember where he has come from. Football is not a charity . There are players that play premiership make international squads at 17. We dont keep hearing people harping on game in game out saying they was in school 4 years ago.
JH tries hard, beings something to the squad, but we should have better in our starting line up.

Donkey is harsh, but he still isn't good enough for this level.
To these messages saying he gives his all - that should be the standard for any player at any club. Only few can get away with not giving 100% - Ozil springs to mind - but even then he gets slated when the Gooners lose a game.
He doesn't have any outstanding qualities I can think of. His anticipation is terrible. He runs a lot, but doesn't run well ie he doesn't run into the right spaces at the right times. Maybe this can be taught, however he is 24 now and should have learnt what he needs to do.
At that age you can't go on about potential, he should be playing regularly to a high level. He doesn't do that.
He can improve, I just don't see anything to suggest he will improve to the level we need.

I like the lad and commend him for the hard work he has put in in the past 3-4 years to make it as a professional footballer.
However, if people said that we needed to move on Wright and Garner to progress to the next level in this league, then surely Jordan falls into the same bracket?
For the missed chance on Saturday evening, take a look at his footwork just before the ball reaches him. That lack of anticipation and co-ordination can't be coached unfortunately.

So regardless of whether you kick a ball or not you either have composure and instinct with a football or you don't?
He held his position to stay onside, perhaps a better ball a little closer to him is where the fault lies more?
But everyone blames Hugill.
Not for me - a ball closer to him or with less pace on it may have been intercepted. I'm not blaming him at all, he played superbly against 2 experienced centre halves.

Ron, "instinct" by definition is a natural ability that can't be taught.
Intercepted by who - the Invisible Man?
It's hardly as though Robbo, great prospect that he is (and another previously written off by most on here) doesn't have form at over-hitting crosses is it?
(eg in our last match and every time he had the ball at Colchester....)
The Keeper
A ball closer to Hugill would have been further away from the keeper!!!!!!!!
I'm sure that his regular inclusion in the starting line up wasn't planned but has come about because of other circumstances - Garner's transfer, long term injuries to May and Beckford, Beckford's indiscipline etc.
He's a good player to have in the squad, he's strong, tough, works hard etc, and he had a great game on Saturday, but to be up at the top end of the Championship I think we need strikers with a bit more composure and ability to create and finish chances.
I do like the guy though and hope he continues to improve and prove his doubters wrong.
