And your point is?
I think secretly you agree with me, but you are afraid of the masses on here picking on you. Grow some balls man.
Talentless buffoon

Thank you very much. Made my day that.

We really need to stop calling Hugill a kid or a youngster on here. He is nearly 25 and has 112 career games under his belt. Anders Lindegard has played 108 career games. Does that make him a kid too? In any case, what age, or number of games played, does Hugill have to reach before we can stop calling him a rookie?
I did sit with the dirty Leeds fans and it wasn't my finest hour, when Barkhuizen nearly scored I had to control myself.
I've just acquired him online for a hefty fee, do you need the link?
Agreed. And I've seen people say that it's his 1st full season in the Championship. Last season must not count?
He's still proven you wrong, Norky.
I also have seen people say that it's his first full season at this level where he has started regularly. Clearly you must not read much.

Just as a point of note, many of us keep referring to Jordan Hugil as a rookie mainly because he broke into league football later than most players usually do, but he actually became a pro footballer at a younger age than Jermaine Beckford did at Leeds. I wonder how long the Leeds fans were referring to beckford as a youngster for? Just saying.
How has he proven me wrong?
I'm still waiting for you to show when I said I would drive him to Ipswich for 500k.
And the people who say that are correct. Not disputing that.
But people who say he is a kid, or it's his 1st full season in the Championship are wrong. He's not a kid when he's nearly turning 25, and this is his 2nd season in the Championship.
I think that constantly slagging off one of our own players is out of order. Much like you, I don't give a toss what the masses think.
It wasn't Robinson's or Barkhuizen's fault that, once we didn't score using football played along the floor (and nearly scoring twice), we resorted to long high balls. Not very intelligent considering they had two rather tall centre-halves.
What was evident from yesterday was, a) we are not ready/strong enough for the playoffs yet and b) the Leeds fans showed us how to really support your team.
Having said that, in the early part of the game when it looked like we might do some damage, they were very critical of just about everyone from the manager down. It was mainly after they scored that the positive support became apparent, but once it did, boy what noise. I too was sat among them with family. Not recommended, sitting amongst them.

I was nervous from start to finish of whether I would celebrate a PNE goal, it didn't help that a Leeds fan to my right was about 6 foot 5, bald and covered in tattoos, however he could have been a born again christian for all I know.

No I am fine thanks.

2 sitters missed, I expected to see a thread on it by now tbh, seeing as every Hugill miss seems to have one...
Barkhuizen is not a clinical close-range finisher but one of those players possibly more likely to score from 18 yards than eight.
