Hugill had to keep behind Robinson otherwise he would have been offside. The cross was just too hard and too far in front of him.

The stupid thing is that there was no need for the pass to be in front of Hugill. I wouldn't anticipate the terrible pass from Robinson, nor would any of our other strikers as is the other stupid suggestion.

If anything Hugill was robbed of a well deserved goal.

The pass was poor!
Played to feet and its a goal, its as simple as that.

Regarding Hugills all round contribution, it has been second to none all season. Yes he has missed some chances but he is also OUR top goalscorer. And he is OUR best striker, period.

He is still young and learning the game for God's sake.
You just need to look at what we lost up front when Makienok came on yesterday to understand the impact Hugill has on our team.

Leave the lad alone! I absolutely believe that with time, Hugill will become a valuable member of our first team squad, he just needs another striker upfront with him that has the ability to get 20 goals a season.

The combination of Hugill and Robinson is developing all the time and they complement each other very well. Like you I think Hugill could become a very important player for us. Makienok is a different type of player - not as mobile but good at little flicks and lay-offs - and just possibly he and Beckford may yet make an alternative pairing.

I disagree - he was at full stretch which indicates that the ball was either too far in front of him at the moment it got to him, or it was moving too fast across the goal.

Or the other alternative he was on his heels and not ready to react.

I can't believe people are blaming Hugill.

He was totally unmarked so the ball only needed to be played to his feet, not blasted across goal about 6 yards in front of him.

Having watched it back a few times on the MOTD highlights i totally agree..... Callum needed to play the ball about a foot in front of Hugill and with less pace.

Never mind, im sure he didnt do it on purpose !

Great performance but shame about the lost replay revenue ( about £600k ) which would have helped bring a striker in !!

How on earth have we not scored this.

Whoever's fault it was, failing to convert the situation in the picture illustrates quite clearly the lack of clinical finishing that regular prevents us from scoring more than once per game and will prevent us from a serious push at the top 6.

You simply have to score these types of chances.

We would have been given, off memory, 45% of the usual £3m per game that Arsenal rake in which equates to around £1.35m.

Gutting.

Whatever people's view of Hugill, can people stop saying he is still young. He is 24. David Nugent left PNE when he was 22 and had played for England

It's very obvious that there are a large number of 'supporters' who only saw the game on tv. The game you see on tv is one dimensional and as such isnt always a true reflection of what actually happened. The 'commentators' can kill the game (and often do) in your front room by their inane wittering and monotone voices. You are watching a sanitised version. The only advantage you have is clearing up that dubous decision, and that's not always the case. To us regular matchgoers to come on here and have a watch at home supporter say that it was or wasn't a goal/penalty etc 'cos I watched it 68 times and it definately wasn't' can sometimes be a bit galling.

In this instance the pass from Robinson was like a bullet coming towards me in the STFS, and I immediately said so to the agreement of all around me. Having seen it on tv, admittedly only 58 times, it was not going that fast and Hugill should have reached it. But do you know what, I was fucking there and what I saw in real life was correct, the ball was coming at Hugill like a bullet and he just couldn't get there in time, and we'll never know if anyone could have!

Spot on - everyone near me in the IP also thought the pass had been pinged across too hard.

But its easier to scapegoat Hugill than Robby I suppose...zzzz

Crikey, if that's not young then there's no hope for me! I take your point but the boy is nearer the start of his professional career than the end of it. I don't think it's inaccurate to say he's young.

Well.... I'm a shit fan and saw a liners offside given to Robinson that was one and a half yards on - I am sure the liner was there?

He is OUR best striker in your opinion. Not having a pop at him - I like Hugill - he works hard, makes runs, and never gives up. Makienok is also another valuable member of our team and offers something different to Hugill. Again they both need a strike partner to have a more desired effect - one that we do not have at the moment. Also Makienok has played really well over the last few weeks and has the same amount of goals as Hugil playing less games so to say he is our best striker, period is in your words embarrassing.

Robinson also has the same amount of goals (6).

The cross that Robinson put in was too fast. Can't blame hugill for failing to connect. But, the pace it was put in it could easily have come off a defender into the net. All was it right or wrong, who knows. No need to call a player a donkey!!
