Hugill

Hugill

Absolutely crazy thread. Hugill has come on leaps this year and has chipped in with important point winning goals this season plus game changing equaliser at Bolton and winner at Blackburn last season. However I don't think there's much between all our strikers tbh . Yes I to have criticized his miss last week and his slow movement in getting onto the end of Robinsons second half cross yesterday. Having said that, at the moment Hugill deservedly has the shirt.
 
Hugill needs a rest. As Paul Lambert's comments last week indicated, Championship teams do their homework and Hugill can be contained by big central defenders no matter what his workrate. At the start of the season, I imagine the plan was to use him as an impact sub, and a reappearance by Beckford or a bullddozing first hour from the Great Dane will enable Hugill to rediscover his goal touch without needing to take all the big hits.

The OPs sentiments sum it up really. Braindead moro

Thank god the majority of people have got bored of this once excellent forum. Absolute waste of time now.

I believe he has scored more goals at this level than Garner ever did in his career.

Just one of those myths, like the one about him having pace.

While Hugill was scoring goals and the team was playing well, he had a place in the team.

But when the form dries up, his limitations are very obvious - and we have other players who might benefit from a start instead.

Ive heard other PNE players themselves say Hugil is the fastest player at the club, Thraci. I agree with the other stuff.
 
Calling him a donkey is very harsh. He's come up with some important goals this season and is coming on leaps and bounds lately. Needs to try and improve his finishing, I know that can't be taught, but extra practice on the training ground wouldn't hurt.

He was poor yesterday, Mousinho bullied him, but gladly he wasn't the only one who was poor.
 
Unfortunately the attitude of the refs has a big impact on the effectiveness of a target man. The last two games hugills markers have got away with some pretty blatant fouling, especially Turner yesterday who had his arms wrapped round him on virtually every challenge. I think I'm right in saying we didn't get a single free kick from an aerial challenge yesterday. Contrast this with what O'Grady got away with at the other end, playing the man rather than the ball.

You ve complained about the OP calling Hugill a donkey - only to call remaining posters on here brain dead morons.
 
Yes Garner may not have scored many goals last year but to argue Hugill is better than him is an insult to Joe. Albeit at a lower level, he won us games on his own. He's miles better in the air than Jordan, he can finish and he was handy for winning the odd free-kick. Fact of the matter is we have got away with not replacing Joe until this point and the last two home games we have dropped points because we don't have a cutting edge up there in Hugill.

I remember years ago, if a footballer was known to have passed, say, three O levels at school he was usually nicknamed something like 'the professor', or 'brains' by his team mates.

Thank God everyone's sick of your moaning anyway. You are a classic case of give it but can't take it.

Showed today exactly the type of player he is. A lumbering clueless donkey of a player that's got lucky with the goals he's scored so far this season.

Apart from the classy goal he scored around 2 months ago, he is crap.

His ball control, heading ability and winning of 50/50 headers is easy pickings for Championship centre halfs and even the clueless Moushinio(or whatever he is called) will probably not have an easier opponent all season.

I have trusted Grayson with his decisions, but to continue with 'Dobby' is proving a little frustrating.

Que the Hugil lovers!!

This post says more about your personality than Hugill's worth to the PNE team. Hugill is coming on leaps and bounds.

have to agree, fail to see how he is actually making a living as a professional footballer myself, worst forward at the club by some distance for me
