    Will Hughes

    I think Will is a really good player and should go a long way in the game but one aspect of his game he has to bring under control is his whinging to refs. As we saw at Leeds his was continually into the refs face. This must put the refs back up resulting in him often getting booked. I know he gets some rough treatment from the opposition but he needs to get up and get on with it. Surely Steve has a word with him.

    I agree. he can be a right whinging git sometimes. he'd be better concentrating on his game rather than getting in the refs ear hole for 90 minutes.

    Disagree, he's in the refs face when he's being blatantly fouled and the ref does nowt about it. Refs are so inconsistent they need to be told sometimes!
    He's not a player who goes down for nothing or like Assombalonga asking the ref to get players sent off because he's tripped over his bootlaces!

    Yes but when did whingeing to the ref ever change their actions. By being quite and getting on with the game he's far more likely to get the ref on his side. The captain should appeal to the ref if he feels the appropriate action is not being taken. The other point is the player fouling is more likely to foul again if he feels he is winding Will up in the hopes he will do something stupid

    The refs always changed their actions at Old Trafford.
    But on a serious note it's hard when you see other teams and players getting the rub of the green and you yourself getting a yellow for nothing!
    Just a bit of frustration from a young lad, but he don't moan for nowt. That's IMO like!

    Doesn't go down for nothing? I think you'll find that's wrong. It's only the fact Martin takes the sting out of it, that stops it being an issue.
    Sorry MOP, it swings in roundabouts, he drops like a stone when it suits and refs know that.

    Before you start, you won't find a Forest supporter defending Assombalonga. He's in the wrong. Yes he gets hacked a lot, but that is what you have to put up with.

    Take the specs off and accept, if he was whiter than white, he'd have a point( don't mean the fact he's an albino either)

    Well if he`s constantly in the refs face I guess that makes him ready for the Premier League then...coz lets face it thats what they do every bloody game at Stamford Bridge Old Trafford etc

    re: Will Hughes

    I thought there was supposed to be a rule that only the captain could speak to the ref, though its been a lot better over the last few years, before that players used to surround the ref.

    We are being a tad hard on the lad, i think its frustration at getting clobbered and the ref offering no protection, he'll calm down with age hopefully.
