Just Missing Hucks

[ricardo 7,349]

A good performance but lopsided with just Croft wide.

Needed Hucks on for the last 20 minutes when the space opened up and I feel sure we would have won.

Can see your point a bit there.

Hucks hasn''t played well this season but it would be foolish to write off and discard a player of his calibre.

I thought Bertrand was solid enough but Hucks holds a greater threat in the last quarter of games.

Just heard Glen say its his hip trouble keeping him out.

Glad this transfer nonsense is a load of rubbish.

[/quote]That''s just wishful thinking I''m afraid. He''s not much of a threat at any stage of the game these days, for whatever reason. What we actually needed was someone to put the ball in the net (instead of wide or onto the post) and Huckerby hasn''t done that a lot this season. I do think, though, that Bertrand tired in the second half. But in the first half, the team looked much better balanced than when Hux is playing, and Bertrand was at least as good at Hux has been lately at creating opportunities for the forwards - Croft''s "goal" being a great example.
