I did not like him one bit when he was here BUT under pulis he was extrmeely isolated on his own. And In his defence he then went to have a very good season at QPR where he had runners in and around him. Which is what most target men need. The fact remains when Hugill plays regularly at this level (and you have bodies around him like you should and not play a 8.1.1 formation with him) then his record suggests he does well. Preston and QPR show that. He back up at Norwich to Pukki so wont judge him on that. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
DevKWat 2,365 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 I would definitely have Hugill back next season if Warnock remains in charge. He was very harshly treated his time here as others have mentioned he was just as isolated as Negredo was. Target men ALWAYS need runners off them. His link up play was good, he’s strong, can head and still scored a reasonable amount of goals considering how we played as a team. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,398 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) Hugill is barely playing for Norwich because he keeps getting injured. He had an excellent season for QPR, that ended with injury against us. I would absolutely take him back if he could stay fit. Link to post Share on other sites

True but unlike Pulis, Warnock would have runners and support in and around a target man in likes of Watmore and Tav along with people he would look to sign in mould of Kebano, Mendez and Bolasise etc Link to post Share on other sites

I dont want him here. He was a name i suggested in case we dont get other targets. Rather Hugill than no target man at all was my point My ideal signing up top would be lad from Bristol but I feel he will get offered bigger wages elsewhere. Link to post Share on other sites

I’d rather we changed our style of play than signed a big target man to hoof the ball to. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Denzel Zanzibar 6,931 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) Hugill and Smithies, really? REALLY? Okay I suppose Smithies would be an upgrade on Bettinelli but anyone who wants Hugill back here needs their head examining. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

He got 13 goals and 1 assist and that was the best season in his career. Assombalonga has bettered that twice with us, and twice with Forest, and still isn't good enough. When they were both on the same team, one got 6 goals, including I think 2 or 3 penalties, and one got 14 goals, not sure how many were penalties. There's quite a big difference between a player who is a waste of space as far as some people are concerned and a player who apparently does well at this level. 5 hours ago, DevKWat said: I would definitely have Hugill back next season if Warnock remains in charge.

He wasn't even good enough to be considered bang average when he was here. Yeah, Pulis has to take some of the blame for it, but Assombalonga got 14 goals that season, and you wouldn't think of him as ideal for that kind of football either. Link to post Share on other sites
Blanco 4,900 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Delighted to see that @YusufBoro went ahead with his Yusuf Meets blog. The first one with Yannick Bolasie is on the Boro website now. Well done @YusufBoro 👍 7 1 Link to post Share on other sites
TLF10 4,440 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 So here is one for our fans... If i said there a 28yr old striker in league 1 with 23 goals this season, who plays as a target man and is a free transfer this summer i assume most would say “he definitely worth taking a look at”. However, if i then say that striker is our ex academy striker Charle Wyke who plays for Sunderland he suddenly becomes a less attractive proposition. So my question is this. Is Wyke worth a punt on a free? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,398 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 I'd say absolutely. Hopefully after a failed attempt at promotion from Sunderland. But I think he's destined to sign a new contract whatever happens, it's not like they're short of money now. Link to post Share on other sites
