The Real Buh 3,432 Posted November 21, 2020 The game is still going on. Right now. im getting deja vu here... I’m getting “player slagged off during a game scores and OP runs for the hills” vibes 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clint 221 Posted November 21, 2020 Been absolutely hopeless so far, offering nothing. Pukki has to come on. I worry about the next 10 weeks with no Idah. Drmic looks a much better option than Hugill. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GenerationA47 752 Posted November 21, 2020 Rooting for him, want him to click for us and do well in the next half If on t’ other hand, Farke brings on Pukki now or later, that’s not a bad substitution and will welcome that too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 4,234 Posted November 21, 2020 He needs time on the pitch and Farke isn't giving it. That said we are so much better with Pukki up top. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Il Pirata 249 Posted November 21, 2020 New striker takes time to settle... shocker. He's proven to score goals at this level, he just needs to find form. Which he will. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pete 319 Posted November 21, 2020 Stop slagging Hugill off, unless you haven't noticed we are a little bereft of strikers and if Pukki should god forbid succumb to any injury we shall be left with JH and may require a little confidence he won't get by reading on here.

Indy 3,300 Posted November 21, 2020 Hugill reminds me of Iwan’s first season, he looked utterly lost, but look how he turned out.......saying that Hugill doesn’t look very good does he? But when a player has 14 clubs on his cv in 12 years you have to ask yourself why a Premiership relegated club bought him at 28 years old? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 1,788 Posted November 21, 2020 "Alas, a blow to his right shoulder midway through that opening period, allied to Boro’s intense pressing, left him a frustrated bystander. He was withdrawn for the match-winner at the interval, with Farke suggesting after the game there may be ligament damage to his shoulder that will be assessed over the coming hours."

The football pitch is the same as always and the ball is ball and his job is to kick that that ball in the net. He knew that before he came, its his job. Why do you not accept some people having a degree of expectations. Are you concerned Hugill will read this and get upset.

I know mate I'm getting frustrated by all the softly softly, oh he needs to settle in (he's been here since pre season) or he may have mental health issues or he doesn't fit our system I've never heard so many excuses for under achieving in my life. I like the bloke and I really hope he does well but come on the goal posts haven't moved. I don't want to be harsh but I'm a realist and if we rely on Hugill to score us goals to win us games it ain't gonna happen.

Imagine once Hernandez, Dowell, Josh Martin and Mumba start featuring regularly that will be exciting. With a serious contender to push Pukki for a place up front we would be awesome. Love the job Sorenson is doing whilst being played out of position big respect to the man for the contribution he is making. There are a lot of good players in that team Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill 1,788 Posted November 21, 2020 the good news is there is money to strengthen in January and if scoring might not be our strongest point then we don't look like we need to score a hatful to compensate for a previous sieve like defence Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogesar 9,673 Posted November 21, 2020 Struggled today although still occupied their defenders well and gave Stiepermann and Buendia that bit of space inbetween their midfield and defence so wasn't all bad. Have to remember hes a totally different style of player to Pukki Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kinggoblin 37 Posted November 22, 2020 I'm struggling to understand why people on here think that Drmic will ever be considered to put on a Norwich City shirt again, I thought the man was told he is not wanted by the club, so I cant see DF doing a u turn and asking him to play now for the main team 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BroadstairsR 2,168 Posted November 22, 2020 (edited) Beginning to rapidly lose faith in Hugill. I had previously been in favour stating that, with such a player, you get what it says on the tin. But as far as JH goes, and on recent displays I have cause to doubt that description. For a target man we've not seen much of that product lately and there would seem to be much better examples of this kind of player floating around, even in L.1., to the extent that "stealing a living" springs to mind. I hope it's a confidence thing because he must have more to his game than he has offered recently. We were a different side when Pukki came on and I came to the conclusion that Jordan Hugill and NCFC were not a particularly good fit. I would love him to come good for his sake and for our team's prospects for the rest of the season. Suddenly we seem thin on strikers and I've lost track of the situations and various complications surrounding Sinani and Soto. Drmic by all accounts should be a better prospect. We have learned by now that when players of a certain type (attitude, commitment problems?) get on the wrong side of Farke it's finito as far as our manager goes. Drmic might be a bit of a problem case, never quite clicked and, to boot, produced the worst exhibition of dead-ball delivery I ever recall seeing in any one game against ???? last season. In the remote possibility of him being welcomed back into the fold he might well come good, between injuries, but we will have acted in desperation, imo.
