Talentless buffoon

Talentless buffoon

Forum members who continue to moan about Hugill should find a trendy Premier League team to support from their armchair and join the herds of sheep who repeat the views of the pundits on MOTD and Sky whilst pretending to know something about the game.

(In my opinion.)

Yeah, the crowds are already poor so let's tell people to F off if they have a differing opinion on a player. Sounds like a great plan.

No 20 page thread on his 1 on 1 miss though I see...

It's probably because he scored his last 5 chances, many of them 1 on 1's, so we can cut him a bit of slack. I think the frustration with Hugill on this matter is that he's literally never scored a 1 on 1 for us.

I think another factor is Hugill is fundamentally not an exciting player to watch. It makes a difference.
 
Simple solution to this debate if for some strange reason you read this forum mr hugill - score at least two tomorrow and the doubters for the hear and now will be silenced
Longer term I feel the minutes played to goal ratio is by nature and common sense going to raise some fans eyebrows
 
I tell you who is a buffoon, the bloke sat behind me in the IP whose first thought when McGeady scored on Saturday was to slate Hugill because he won't ever score a goal like that. A very odd mentality.

Big fan of Barkhuizen already, but if Hugill had missed Tommy's chance at the start of the second half at Blackburn and the chance on Saturday he would've been slated again.

You are right I have seen loads of PNE strikers miss plenty of one on one's over the years .... sadly some of the 'experts' on here expect the onion bag to ripple every single time but in truth if a players is capable of this he's usually playing at a much higher level, sad but true.
 
This is the sort of critiscism players like Danny Dichio, Eric Meijer, Cresswell (alongside Fuller) etc. used to recieve as well despite them being an integral cog to way we play and the sucess being achieved. Hugill has done great this season leading the line.
 
I'm a big fan of Hugill; gives his all and makes the most of his talent.

Beckford has done nothing since Wembley and simply doesn't deserve another appearance, where his priority will be avoiding injury.

With the PO's now probably beyond us, I'd start to look at next season by giving Stevie May a run of games.

We're never going to find out if he's up to it from the odd late cameo - he needs to start and show what he can do.

Hugill has been a star this season for us - people should remember where he's from, what he cost us and - if worst comes to the worst - what we could sell him for.

Along with Ben Pearson, he's progressed massively this season, while others (DJ) have stood still.
 
Very poor and disrespectful post roofer32 I would say . He is picked by the Manager and that should be good enough for you. Wrong time of the season for such negativity.

This in a nutshell.

People are already boxing off Hugills progression saying he has reached his potential, they shouldn't be saying that if you look at where he was last season.
 
It is completely fair to criticise a player, but insults are unnecessary and only serve to render the point, you make, completely worthless.
Hugill is a great kid who has earned his place thanks to hard work, bravery and a positive attitude.
Grayson may yet get more out of the lad after a confidence boosting season this term.

If their opinion differs from yours they're stupid eh?

Yes, probably best you sit on your own.

Of course people are allowed to have differing opinions on footballers but the grief Hugill gets on here is ridiculous and yes I think some of the people spouting it clearly know sod all about the game.

If I'm wrong I hope that one of you lot get the job when Grayson leaves as he clearly knows f' all.

Some of the comments are from the Top Trumps School of football, the sort that come from teenagers who have never played but play Football Manager and support Chelsea or Man U...something akin to 'This player is better because they cost more and have a foreign-sounding name and a fit bird'.

If you cant see what Hugill brings to the team then I'm surprised.
Is he a prolific goalscorer? NO
Has he always had a great game? NO
Does he make mistakes? YES

Replacing Hugill at half-time on Saturday would have achieved the square root of fuck all. It had little to do with Hugill and more to do with 3 or 4 other things which needed to change. Thankfully Simon Grayson is managing the team and not the deluded OP.

Don't you know it's Hugill's fault that Forest played with 3 midfielders whilst we played with 2 meaning we were bossed in midfield and he was starved of supply?

I'm certain that if Makienok had done what Hugill has over this season then the same people would regard him as a solid loan signing. Some might even want us to sign him!

Because of his background these people are incapable of judging Hugill objectively. He's just a non-league clogger to them, no matter what he does.

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.

1st full season in the Championship? Did he play somewhere else last season?
 
Hugill is ok, nothing more than that to date.

A likeable lad for sure, a grafter too but an out and out goalscorer? I think not.

10 goals is ok but to go Top 6, we have to be far more clinical where it matters and I suspect that due to Hugill having had more game time than the other strikers this season, this is the reason for some peoples displeasure.

For what it's worth, I think Hugill has been off form for the past 7 or 8 games. That is an honest observation, not a slagging off of the lad.

Just as he has scored a couple of great goals - Cardiff (h), Villa (a) - he has equally missed some absolute sitters such as Wolves (h). Praise when it is due, constructive criticism when it is due. My own point of view is that he lacks attacking awareness with his positioning. Saying that, I prefer Hugill to Makienok.

I would like to see Barkhuizen and May start tomorrow night v Bristol City. Time for a tinker up top.
