You never know, worked well alongside one donkey in Keifer Moore, now who could fit that bill any better than Hugill?Quote:

You can have him, he hasn't been the same and hasn't been funny since the beeb kicked him off Mock the week (yes Im saying I think he looks like Russell Howard) lol.
All he does these days is stand around gesturing and pointing the finger at people, ohh and he also likes to fiddle with his shorts a lot. 😃
More intense speculation on this guy no doubt he can finish but I’m not sure he is answer if he needs to play as a two.
That’s our problem no proper centre forward. I wonder how many more Grant and Robinson would have scored if they had been fed knockdowns and flick on’s as one would expect. Hugill one goal and NO assists.
We really need two orthodox centre forwards in my opinion, one as a backup.
Woodrow would probably improve the stats but a genuine centre forward would perhaps open the floodgates. At the very least the opposition would have someone to mark and our other forwards would get less attention.
Bit sad really, we used to scour the international market for firepower, now we just scour Barnsley’s bins… FOL
I've never seen a player like Hugill. He loses nearly all individual battles against the defender. He ends up fouling them more often than not.
You can tolerate a striker not scoring if they were playing well and providing chances but Hugill is the worst I've seen at our club for years. Some strikers just need a goal and they improve. He got one at Bristol and has got even worse since then!
Woodrow would at least be a step up but it's a shame that we're now a club chasing average championship strikers rather than getting quality - I mean we're chasing a bloke who's only scored 4 goals this term.
I agree, we need two strikers to allow for proper competition - Hugill can go back or just sit in the under 23's.
The comments from Barnsley fans don't exactly fill me with confidence.
I think Woodrow is more than an “average” Championship centre forward, then again, it could just be that he’s always seemed to play well or score against.
Maybe we should take heed of history and not fall into “Grimsby” mode again.
In the early to mid 90’s we constantly had our a r s e s handed to us by Buckley’s Grimsby and thus took him in as manager and then signed Groves, Rees, Gilbert and I think a couple of others and they were all dire for us.
Could perform at a nonentity club under no pressure and then wilted at the big club with expectations.
Woodrow could be the same all over again I guess.

At least we seem to be doing something for the start of the window and Woodrow will be ready to play rather than waiting until the end of the window and needing the player to get fit.
