Hooper superstrike

[Rogue Baboon 0]

Oh my, what a touch and hit

Not sure why he hasn''t started more games

[JF 694]

Stunning goal, hopefully he capataises on Grabbans stupidity in the play offs

[Thirsty Lizard 3,183]

A brilliant goal in a season full of them.......

Hooper is rubbish though, isn''t he?

Furthermore he doesn''t want to be here, so let''s get rid ASAP.

Just wow.😄

[damn that Ralph Coates! 47]

loved the fan falling out of the terrace - super goal that should have won the game.

Such a mystery to me that guy. Look quality as often as he looks L2 standard. Can be completely anonymous or instrumental in everything we do. Can miss open goals and hit strikes like that.

Everyone outside the club has no idea why he doesn''t start for us and it''s because he''s so damn inconsistent and it''s like playing with 10 men when he''s not in the mood. He''s such a frustrating player!

Has he said that?

According to 90% of people on here.

I was being sarcastic..... I really rate Hooper. Class act, but like Hoolahan, his talent doesn''t get the credit it deserves.

[Syteanric 1]

Given Jeromes record in the premiership I wouldn''t put it past Hoops to be the main man next season....

[Excited Canary 19]

Brilliant goal and brilliant celebrations. I began at Row L and somehow ended up at the front with the players, can''t remember euphoria like that since Derby at home. Just gutting we couldn''t hold on.

[Katie Borkins 1]

Fantastic goal, takes a lot of skill and intuition to score one like that.

[vos 155]

Great goal but otherwise did not make much of a contribution. Seemed to be lacking in energy. He is simply not a lone striker and does not have the height to win much in the air. We were under a lot of pressure because Hooper was never able to gain any possession of the ball, and even when Jerome came he did not take the role of central striker. Rather surprisingly !! Overall a disappointing performance and Rotherham did miss at least a couple of other sitters.

[damn that Ralph Coates! 47]

in Grabban''s absence, we need to supply Hooper with poacher stuff too, presumably wingers/full backs getting behind, as Hoops isn''t quick enough for ball over the top like Grabban.

[Excited Canary 19]

Weird video, but if you skip to 40 mins 20 on this there''s Hooper''s goal from the home end, right next to our lot. Good times, slightly bittersweet however...

Hooper can link well with Hoolahan or play off Jerome. On his own he can''t win a header or burn defenders for pace. Thought he worked hard yesterday, but if you need a finish, you would want the chance to fall to him.

[ec-p 98]

Really rate Hooper, can''t quite understand why he doesn''t start more often, would hate to lose him end of season regardless of which league we are in.

[GJP 79]

I''d rather lose him than Jerome or Grabban.

I think he''s harder to accommodate in the team than the other two.

Hate this obsession with "hard to accommodate"

He''s quality and proved his worth. I don''t want to lose him. He can score 30 goals in this league, which will come in handy next season.

[GJP 79]

He''s not that good. He''s not bad. But he''s not great.

30 goals? You''re absolutely kidding yourself.

We''ll see.

Hooper has managed double figures without a real run in the team.

Your naive if you think it''s not possible. Look at the variety of goals he scores. He''s a natural goal scorer.

[GJP 79]

I don''t think it''s impossible. I think it''s very unlikely.

 

His best tally of league goals is 24. He got that in League 1 and the SPL. His best in the Champs is 19.

 

I''m not saying he''s not a decent player and he is, generally, a good finisher. But he''s just not that great. Like Jerome isn''t and neither is Grabban. 30 goals at this level for any of those strikers would be a freak.

Good goal. Had Matt le tissier all over it

[ZLF 274]

was a great strike and his mins per goal is exceptional. However all bar one are against lower league teams

The reasons why he has so few minutes and remains the most consistently dropped player by 3 managers in the last 2 seasons.

A fantastic option to have from the subs bench, but shown his inadequacies for the team when a regular starter

[Donkey dangler 0]

You need a quality goal poacher in your squad.........to come of the bench and do the business when needed.

I would rather lose both Jerome and Grabban rather than Hooper , Jerome has gone right of the boil and never did cut it in the top flight as for Grabban not convinced he is even a good Championship striker and would be way out of his depth in the top flight .

You know that Hooper and Grabban have the same amount of goals in 4 less games, and Grabban has only 6 more starts right? (really 5) Also you know that Hooper only scored 3 goals from play in 32 games including 24 starts in the PL right? that sure is "cutting it" I agree... You also are aware that 3 of Hooper''s goals this year were from PK HE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH. right? Whereas Grabban only had 1 from a PK HE HAD EARNED. Hooper''s proved for 2 years he''s WELL over his head and should be at best a Conference Regional spot starter for a bottom 8 team...
