hogesar 9,776 Posted March 4, 2023 Because he is a decent Championship striker. Would expect him to end up with 6 or 7 by the end of the season which would be a good return. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,300 Posted March 4, 2023 Good. The reality is he probably wouldn't have made our bench today. Massive win for Rotherham, pleased for them. Hopefully Hugill can help take points off our rivals. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seeing Rotherham stay up would be nice fair to say their fans do rather deserve it for sticking by them after so many failed attempts to do so in the past Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canarybubbles 1,952 Posted March 4, 2023 I'm not surprised. Hugill has always looked a good fit for a club like Rotherham. I think he'd fit in very well at Millwall also. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,232 Posted March 4, 2023 One was a pen but yeah, pleased to see him do well. Just struggled here as he was never mobile enough to challenge Pukki for a starting spot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
All the Germans 1,085 Posted March 4, 2023 He's an awful footballer, but he has some strengths. The problem is, if you don't play to those strengths (we don't), he's next to useless. Lump it in the air, get him to battle for the ball, back into defenders and hold it up the pitch and he can do a job, but, ask him to play in tight spaces, expect anything but a simple pass or to move intelligently and you will be disappointed. He's like the striker version of Hanley. (That's a little harsh on Hanley, even I admit). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,709 Posted March 4, 2023 Hugill is good at what he does.  My concern is that he doesn’t come back to haunt us Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canarybubbles 1,952 Posted March 4, 2023 Looking at our central defence today, I think that's a reasonable concern. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And so did Farke, after all Farke said that he was one of the reasons we got promoted to the prem under him. But I guess you'll ignore that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean it seems the "worst striker ever" torch according to some has been passed to Idah but I mean we have people on here in this very thread saying he's only good enough for League two nevermind all the people saying he was awful here.

yellowrider120 793 Posted March 4, 2023 35 minutes ago, daly said: And Wroxham How can anyone can rate him as pro footballer Oh dear! Hugill has been a professional footballer for many years and has scored 62 goals for various clubs. Not prolific for a striker who is now 30 years old but light years above the likes of good old Wroxham Town! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheGunnShow 6,029 Posted March 4, 2023 Eh, Hugill's good if you have wingers and players out wide pinging crosses in. That was never really our game. Saying he wasn't as good as Pukki's missing the point a bit - Pukki thrives on channel balls and through balls, and we generally feed those in. Put Pukki at Millwall or Rotherham, and their fans would be saying he's not too great. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
