His form is dire, his attitude with LR was seemingly a problem, he doesn't cover much ground, he's not clinical (10% goals per shot), and his history is rubbish for a CF.
Scored in:
22% of games at PNE
16% at Boro
33% at QPR (reasonable return in his best ever season)
10% at Norwich
15% for us
I liked Grabban, personally, and granted it was L2 but his 42% return makes a mockery of Hugill's entire career. I can't speak for others, but I wouldn't have those two in the same conversation. Yates was young and took a while to find his feet, Hugill is 32 next year and his return of 13 goals over the last three seasons won't strike fear into defenders in L1 as he's another year older and slower.
He's visibly a poor player, stats only serve to show just how poor he is.
