Hughill now joins a recent line of supposed centre forwards that clearly show our recruitment team are idiots,

Ideye Brown
Rondon
Rodriguez

We’ve managed to let go the best one we’ve had in the last 5 years in Diagne, a player who was perfect for this system.

Cauley Woodrow is still languishing at Barnsley and would suit us, I’m sure there’s a good few other out there as well.

Why are we so bad at choosing number 9’s?

It frustrates the f u c k out of me.

Callum Morton is better than the lump we are playing most weeks!
Agreed. When you see that Hugill has about 10 touches a half, runs around like he doesn't know where to be and misses big chances, you just think what damage could it do to play a promising kid. At the very least we give the youth some optimism that they might get into the first team at some point and then we might actually just get them to sign on.
