Hugill
This, he looked tired today.
This is the big problem with Beckford and Doyle. They would have had alot of chances off big Mac today. Hugill just isn't going to run through and finish them.
It's him OR Mac not him AND Mac.

Let's face it fellas...If he played like he does for any other team we'd be calling him rubbish. It's because he's a PNE player that we are naturally sticking up for him and on this forum labelling a PNE player as rubbish seems to be against the forum rules for some reason. He just isn't good enough.

Folks are sticking up for him just because he's a North Ender? On the contrary even decent North End players get stick.
He's broken into the team this season and is progressing and scored a decent number of goals. He's already delivered so to write him off is surprising.

People go on about his goals but other than at Brighton, as a result of a defensive cock up, has he actually scored against a decent side this season?
He's shown an eye for goal against the likes of Cardiff (pre-Warnock), Wigan and Rotherham but in reality far too many aspects of his game are nowhere near good enough for this level. Some of his finishing is woeful and he even struggles at times with the basics such as ball control.
He does work hard and could be a useful impact sub from time to time but if we're serious about progression in the long run this guy should be nowhere near the starting XI.

Agreed - Hugill has made great progress this season but Beckford would very likely have got a brace today if he had been on the end of Makienok's lay-offs. A 4.5.1 with Makienok up top might be good on Wednesday.

I've always thought Hugill bears a striking resemblance to the Honey Monster.

Seems like a sound lad, you need one or two of them in a successful team, even though he's punching above his weight ( allegedly?) he has a great attitude! Keep it going! All the best
Isn't he currently top goal scorer?
Great ball in for Mak to win the penalty works his socks off and is a good target man, not a natural finisher but definitely an asset to the squad, give him a break!
What is it with North End fans ?
Why do they constantly have to have a player to abuse, the lad plays with his heart on his sleeve and gives 100 % , what more can we ask?
He is our player get behind him ffs
Has graham westley brainwashed you?
Attitude isn't actually more important than ability, you know....
Not faulting his work rate, he just lacks quality.
You are missing the point, he is not the best quality player ability wise but he doesn't pick himself to play does he?
What I am saying is support him while he has a white shirt on instead of having a personal vendetta
