basil brush 0 Posted September 14, 2013 This guy came to Norwich City and harbours England ambitions. Unfortunately injured pre season, but I''ve got a feeling that Hughton will not start them together.If this the case, then what''s in it for Hooper? Being an unused substitute in a game that was screaming for him does not bode well for his future. He didn''t come here to warm the bench and we''re hardly scoring freely.Moving to QPR maybe would of been a better option... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yorkshire Canary 118 Posted September 14, 2013 It is very unfortunate that he got injured. He will get opportunities, particularly at home and RVW will need to be on his toes or Hooper will get to be first choice away from home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carra Rud 17 Posted September 14, 2013 I fear Hughton had conceeded the game at that stage (well, before kick-off but thats another story). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reverend Timothy Smallpiece 0 Posted September 14, 2013 Or .....He turns out to be our salvation. Wolf turns out to be an eye-wateringly expensive flop but the former Scunthorpe man saves our season and earns a Ricky Lambert style call up to the World Cup party!

andy cousins 9 Posted September 14, 2013 this has to be one of the worst posts ever on this board, he is not even proven in the Prem yet and a hell of a long way from international football Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricardo 7,239 Posted September 14, 2013 Yep, we bought Hooper with no intention of ever playing him.Oh deary me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
basil brush 0 Posted September 14, 2013 he is not even proven in the Prem yet and a hell of a long way from international footballI never said he was England quality, but Hooper was quoted - several times - that he came here to increase his England chances...Whether he is or isn''t good enough for England is another matter, but coming to a club that I believe will only use him as ''back up'' isn''t going to get him into an England jersey.I hope the guy succeeds here as I''m sure everybody else does, but I don''t think it is going to happen under the current manager. I hope I''m wrong! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Citizen Journalist Foghorn 0 Posted September 14, 2013 Surprised he did not get a chance today given we needed a goal and RvW had a quiet game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reverend Timothy Smallpiece 0 Posted September 14, 2013 Yet another quiet game.Wolfie''s not turning out to be a "lead from the front" type player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lavanche 0 Posted September 14, 2013 He was always clearly going to be 2nd striker after RvW and we clearly are not planning to play with two upfront, but one to link up behind striker.He will still get plenty of chances to prove himself and we will need him, that is for sure.

andy cousins 9 Posted September 14, 2013 so loosing by 2 to a top prem side who spent £100 mil is a disaster that is going to ruin our season and Hoopers career ? Hughton rightly or wrongly tried to keep us in the game and the score down, not good to look at and not going to win that way I agree, but maybe better than 5-0, mind would rather us go for a win and attack Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hooleyfan 0 Posted September 14, 2013 He didn''t get his chance today and won''t get his chance in the future whilst Hughton considers that his reputation rides on £8.5m RvW...the game was crying out for a strong ball carrying forward that can hold off the opposition. RvW is not strong enough to cope with the PL, wants too many touches in front of goal and is not quick enough in his decision making Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reverend Timothy Smallpiece 0 Posted September 14, 2013 Indeed. Hoots doesn''t have the kahunas to drop the chappy he pished all the money away on. And McNally won''t let. And we''re left with a very nice young Dutchman who''s hopelessly out of his depth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dubai Mark 0 Posted September 14, 2013 Of course its not "Career suicide", how ridiculous to suggest that. First game available, he gets a spot on the subs bench which seems fair. I personally was a little disappointed he didnt come on, particularly as I found myself shouting at the TV over RVW''s performance today, but certainly wasnt the end of the world he didnt come on,and looking back on it he wouldnt have got much action if had come on the way Spurs were playing. There is no doubt he will get PLENTY OF GAME TIME...its a long season with many twists and turns to come............some on here need to get a grip!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
