    I’m not quite sure I follow the logic of picking this game to start Hugill, against a physical side - surely that’s their bread and butter and it’s better to use guile and skill?

    We definitely need to find our shooting boots, and quickly - for all our decent approach play we’ll have not scored in 3 games if we don’t find the net in the second half.

    I disagree. Hugil has experience roughing up championship defenses.

    The problem is Farke is not catering for Hugil by playing a striker wide left and a non traditional type wide right player.

    Looks like we are narrow in attack because we have no natural wingers. Previous games, we had wingers and everyone was calling for Hugill because it suits his game better. Now he gets his chance and we have no wingers. Go figure!

    This is spot on. 

    Placheta and Hernandez are more of a traditional type wingers that would get balls in to suit Hugil (although Hernandez final ball is iffy!)

    Farke must think Quintilla will deliver the crosses.

    Except we NEVER played to his strengths from day one of his arriving here.

    You only had to watch the footage from the first 2 months to see he was making great runs and NOBODY was bothering to find him.

    Maybe he wasn't cut out for the top level, but the fact remains that if you give a player ZERO supply and don't play to any of their strengths (however limited you may feel they are), then you're on a hiding to nothing in terms of getting returns from them.

    The reason I brought up Pukki is that he's currently having the exact same problem as RvW did, we're not giving him the right kind of supply (or at all in some cases), thus his returns have dried up, and yet instead of giving him the kind of balls we did in the promotion season (you know, where he scored THIRTY goals), we're insisting on slinging high balls in and then clamouring for Hugill to play as he suits this more, and somehow this is Pukki's fault!

    Bang on the money Indy.

    I can not fathom how anyone can see this.

    No, but you can take a sample and have a pretty educated guess. It's not rocket science. Even the players who I've been lucky enough to speak with have nothing but superlatives for Snodgrass, less so for Hughton. I reckon they might know better than you and Lakey, 'eh?

    Thats the thing though, i dont really give two hoots what the players thought of Snodgrass. Maybe he was just "one of the lads" in and outside of the club. 

    I go by the football that i watched and it was awful. That was down mainly to Hughton but Snodgrass played a vital role in it too.

    I played with many players that overall was average but everyone ranted and raved about them because once every blue moon they pulled something out their backside.

    Maybe he'll sign a poacher type striker while completely ignoring the fact he's a poacher, expect said striker to play a different striking role, play a completely boring defensive brand of football which does not suit our new poacher type striker and then allow all of our attacking intent to go through a whingy whiny over rated inverted winger!

    Skipp has been a standout so far for me alongside Aarons.

    I'm not too sure where all the love for Rupp is coming from though. Little bit of stability in the middle maybe? Would anyone say he's actually an upgrade for Trybull?

    What does Rupp actually give us? His forward play is average at best and just about the same as defensively. 

    He's played ok but right now ok isn't good enough.
