pete 319 Posted December 31, 2013 Quote from Hughton according to SSN. I guess that means he will not be playing JH a huge miss in the last 4 games. I would like to know what is this back problem he has we have been told he has been a doubt for last 3 games. Can we be told when he might be available.Hooper fit as well re SSN.

Jim Smith 2,317 Posted December 31, 2013 Howson was not missed on Sarturday as he finally played Wes. If Howson is doubtful then it''s same again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crafty Canary 495 Posted December 31, 2013 Howson is not a defensive midfielder whereas Johnson is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeelansGlove 0 Posted December 31, 2013 Howson is not an attacking midfielder whatever some may think. He is a good central midfielder who can play box to box and shoot from long range but as much use as a handbrake in a canoe as an attacking midfielder. Fer on the other hand does have the range of passes required but is a big miss further back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
York Canary 28 Posted January 1, 2014 I see Howson as a centre mid who makes himself available to get the ball and can pass well and shoot well. Pretty much what I want from him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joanna Grey 0 Posted January 1, 2014 If you took all BJ''s ''best bits'' over his entire career in a 3 minute video you could make him look like a £10m player. I have seen 40 yard pinpoint passes, goal line clearances, last ditch tackles, accurate crosses and net bursting shots all come from him but unfortunately it''s the sloppy play that lets him down. Howson is more clinical and consistent in his play so that''s why he gets my vote. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
