Hugill seems to be the biggest discussion on this forum right now
Has he improved over last year ...... Yes
Does he give 100% ........................Yes
Is he a Championshio striker.............No
Much as I admire his attitude, his control,ability etc is not up to Championship standard.

If he continues to progress the way he has been doing then we could have a championship striker on our hands and you have to remember that players do suffer dips in form and get low on confidence.
His goals against Cardiff, Rotherham and Brighton show that their is quality there and it's up to him and Grayson to get it out of him consistently.
To call him a clogger after having 1-2 bad games is very very unfair, I don't think it helps having Robinson as his strike partner when the lad isn't a striker.

Couldn't disagree more hasn't he scored more goals already this season than garner did the whole of last season? he's had 1 or 2 bad games in a row and people are getting on his back, this is literally the worst thing about being a north end fan! we have been blessed with some good forwards in this league over the years but at this current time this is the best we are going to get unless simon gets some cash to spend which I very much doubt.
I agree Hugill has been pretty good but he's not (and shouldn't be) our first choice striker. Grayson did have money for strikers he spent it on May and Doyle and got big Mak in. Hmmm.....
He spent most of it on May who then got injured so we have yet to see whether that outlay will be justified.

who should be then?
Oh get in the bin he's been brilliant this season plus calling him a donkey is a little harsh, he's from Middlesbrough not Blackpool
Quite right marsbars, we should have spent 12 million on Kodjia, and not the roughly 1 million outlay on the three players you mentioned.
What was Grayson thinking about?
Most people seemed to think he was 2 weeks ago but we haven't won for two games so obviously everyone is shit again.
May - No idea, barely seen him on the pitch. Most folk on here seem to be excited (is that the right word?) to see his return.
Doyle - Seems to be very one-way re this guy, but I reckon he has some good times coming.
Big Mak - Causes the other teams lots of problems and I do think he has a good few goals in him.
Seems like money well-spent to me. £1mil for three, or £12mil for one? I know what I'd do..........................

Forgot you had a chip on your shoulder about Hugill, he's proven he's a capable striker this season and works well in the system we currently play.

It's been suggested, by some, that he's been shit for the last two games. I went against Wolves. OK, he missed a good chance at the end. But, I thought he had a decent game. He got fuck all, from the referee, who gave Wolves' big two centre halves, carte blanche, to repeatedly foul and generally rough him up.
Also, I've noticed Makienok has come in for, IMO, some unwarranted stick. Has his hat trick at Bournemouth and goal at Brighton been forgotten already?

Is he doing more than Garner was last season? Yes.
Should he have been given more game time last season? Probably.
Is he going to fire us in the play off positions? No.
Is he shit? No.
His ball control needs work, and he needs to spend less time focusing on the defender behind him and actually win the ball. He also seems very angry a lot of the time and needs to calm down especially when fouls are given against him.
But this sort of thread is typical of this forum after a couple of dodgy results (1 defeat in 10 lets remember) and why it's best avoided for a couple of days post match.

Exactly right, win at Wednesday and it'll all be playoffs talk. Lose and it'll be relegation.
I'm sorry Thracia but I think I might have to agree with you here. I do think we should be grateful for Hugill's efforts and goals and he has done well but he'll never be good enough to be our first choice if there's any quality up front at this club.
