You might have a point, as Hugill won't get much change out of Flint.

What really (reallly) pisses me off is when people come out with statements that they cannot back up.
Back it up Mr Roofer or back down 😉
A buffoon and a donkey according to Mr Roofer.....who knew it was possible to be both simultaneously
The opening post is ridiculous, thick, unintelligent and that's just for starters. Not gonna waste my time debating with a complete idiot.
Well said Tugg.
Hugill just needs a rest and had zero support from our midfield that was bossed all day.
He's not a talentless buffoon. That's just an ignorant and inflammatory remark aimed at provoking a reaction. There wouldn't have been a £2.5 million offer if he was a buffoon.
He shouldn't be a number one striker for a Championship team. That's the reality. He's a useful target man who's improving each year he's here. Look at the numbers. We should be adding players around him to lighten the burden and help him.

OP's comments are silly, uninformed And actually plain wrong. Hugill's progress this season is there for all to see (McCarthy can see his talent hencex2 cheeky bids).
Yesterday Hugill was marked out of the game. He got very close attention from start to finish. But he does look tired and, for me, does need a rest. What's the deal with May- on the bench but doesn't get a run out? Odd.

He shouldn't be needing a rest after 2 weeks off really. He was just poor and should be dropped for a while to keep him on his toes. I'd like to see a bit more rotation up top because Hugill is not consistent.
Considering this is only Hugill's fourth or fifth full time seasons as a professional footballer I'm very happy with his progress. Compare his record this season to other strikers in this division who have gone for much more money than the £50-75k that we got Hugill for.
I didn't think he got marked out of the game yesterday. He had the beating of the young 20 year old Worrall but the other centre back Fox has played in the Prem. league and looked class. Jordan lacked support from midfield where we were overrun for long periods. He isn't the finished article by any means but he's done a fine job of filling the void left by Joe Garner.
25k.
Out of his depth but scored 11 league goals?
Joint 10th top scorer in the division. Aye, shocking that ain't it! People wonder why we cant attract bigger attendances, perhaps folks dont want to sit next to moaning arses!
This is purely for pedantic purposes so your point still stands but it's 10 in the league and 1 in the league cup which was vs Oldham at home - http://www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=72606
If he was "way out of his depth" he wouldn't be getting those goals so I don't agree with that, but at the same time, as I said in the discussion around him after the Blackburn game, with all the game time he's had this season, and very good service from the likes of McGeady, Horgan, and so on (none of which Garner got), making it into double figures is the bare minimum requirement for a striker like him.
Basically, I think he's done decent job this season and stepped up when others (Beckford and Doyle spring to mind) simply haven't, but ultimately I think we need better in the long run in this division.

And yet Garner (who walked on water for a lot of fans) could only muster 6 goals was it, in all the game time that he got, and how many of those were penalties?
You only need a little intelligence to understand that Hugill has ability. It's his first season playing regularly at this level. He's not a kid in terms of his age, but in terms of actual game time/experience he is still a kid.
Just can't fathom the criticism of Hugill with 10 league goals so far this season, with some fans saying we should offload him. Yet there were histrionics when we sold an ineffective Garner to Rangers. Go figure!
Well said Tugg.
If Hugills progression carries on the way it is doing then we will have a very good striker on our hands.
You don't run from the half way line and score in the top bin against ex premier league players unless you have something about you.
1st full season in the Championship, people need to remember this.

You say this as if there will be many many more.
Surely if we want to progress, then Hugill will need to be playing fewer games for us in future?
