Talentless buffoon

Talentless buffoon

According to some on the Pringle thread, it's still too early to say he's not good enough, despite him struggling to do basic things such as stay balanced and pass when he had a run of games, failure at several Championship clubs now, and failing to make the matchday squads for months.

As for May I've say before he must leave to get his career going again. Can't see him featuring much here.

Neither can I. With Pringle, you get the feeling something has gone badly wrong and it's time to move him on as the best move for both parties. But Stevie May's situation is puzzling. He was deemed fit enough to make the bench back in about December, then got five minutes a few weeks later, but since then, nothing - at a time when we have Hugill out of a bit of form, Makienok never trusted to be given a start, and a seemingly on the way out Beckford looking woeful in his cameos. It's an ideal time to chuck May into the fray, he must be fit enough if he has made the bench a few weeks ago? Is Larry just not seeing anything from him in training, or maybe he was not even one of Larry's targets in the first place?
 
Where's roofer now a days? 8 - 10 million fees being talked about for Hugil as well as 5 goals already this season and hardly any sitters missed! Egg on your face I think.

And Thracia - shame on you. 'Hugil has reached his full potential.' Really!? This thread alone sums up PNE to a tee. We have some fantastic supporters who support PNE through thick and thin but we have some idiots too.
'Hugil is a buffoon.'
'Pearson can't tackle.'
'Fisher is a bad signing.'

More and more crap! Yes it's about opinions, but I could come up with the opinion that the world will end tomorrow doesn't mean I'm talking any sense. And judging by comments on this thread other north end fans don't talk sense either!
 
Some interesting posts to look back on, the main thing being is that with no Makienok, Beckford and May we all expected a lot more transfer activity to happen up top in the last window. I certainly expect us to add 1 more in the January window.

Why oh why is Simon Grayson sticking with the buffoon for the whole game?

He had another shocker today. In 90 minutes he controlled the ball and found his own player once.

Can't head it, can't tackle, doesn't link up play, squanders chances, struggles to stay on his feet. He has not scored in months. In fact he does not even look like scoring!!

He wasn't alone today, but when you have two other strikers sat on the bench, it makes you wonder why SG fails to freshen things up??

DROP THE BUFFOON!!!

Man! Can you imagine looking back and seeing you wrote such drivel!! Must almost be as bad as looking back to see you said we couldn't get anyone better than Grayson lol

Agree, and it’s need to be a quite big, or at least physical presence of a striker to back-up and/or take all the load off Hugill from time to time. If Hugill were to get a bad injury, we would be left with no physical focal point to replace him.

So just getting Doyle back as has been suggested on the other thread, or just sticking Maguire up front and “changing style” as some others have suggested in recent weeks too, will not cut it. We need to buy one.

Well at least it's not as bad as WIBG's post that described Harry Kane as 'overrated' and a 'one season wonder'. Just.
 
I stick by my original post, I have said to others in person that he has improved slightly as a footballer, but don't let the price tag fool you.

The price tag doesn't fool me. Scoring 5 goals already does - 7 if you include the two at Accrington. He's also scored 3 in a row including a quality goal against sunderland. If only he had missed it like a buffoon would. Your post is probably the most idiotic thing someone has said on here - only beaten by the harry kane is shit thread.

If you, or anyone else who slated Hugill, can't see that he's a top end championship striker then you mustn't understand the game of football.

He's a very good striker.

Although the discussion on this thread was prior to the managerial change.

We certainly let a fair few go (4 if you include Doyle) but we needed to in fairness. We had too many average strikers in the squad.

I suspect if Grayson had stayed, we would’ve have signed more strikers. In fact we regularly seemed to topload the squad with 5-6 strikers under Grayson.

Appointing a manager who uses a 1 striker system week in week out is probably why we didn’t do as much as we thought we would in April, but yeah I’d expect him to add another come January.
