Demitri_C Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 RHM is the fastest player we have here i think that will come hand against boro from the bench. I remember the race between him and adama. Adama was quicker but not by much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it’s more to do with loads of fixtures in a short time. They play again Friday v Swansea in the PL Cup Final and the semi was last week along with last league game. It’s a shame as Millwall would’ve been a good game to throw in some of the U23. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilbertoAVFC Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 He and O'Hare are sheer class. Huge ceilings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumstopdogs Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 He has been putting in some very promising performances - what an exciting option for the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Jury is still out for me, he seems to earn rave reviews in the U-23's and then looks totally useless whenever he appears in the first team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lichfield Dean Posted May 2, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted May 2, 2018 Last night I felt that he looked more like a footballer in the 'brain' sense. Previously I think he struggled to work as a team player but it looks like he might be turning a corner in that regard. He was always fast and strong and skillful at U23 level but other pasrts of his game were lacking. If he can keep improving on those areas he could become very good indeed.

AntrimBlack Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 (edited) He needs game time, like many of our young players. Either with us, or on loan. In his case - with us. Edited May 3, 2018 by AntrimBlack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Whenever I hear about him, it's him scoring the winner in a thriller! A good facet to have! Play him against Millwall, we've got nothing to lose, or at least on the bench to keep our 1st teamers fresh after 60 mins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately he has vital games to play in the U23s, so we'd be doing him no favours 'promoting' him to a dead rubber fixture. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 He clearly has talent and probably needs more time in the first team to break through, a loan would probably suit him just so he knows what it's about that bit more. He has been very unimpressive with his first team chances so far and that's probably down to a mixture of nerves and perhaps just trying 'too hard'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted May 7, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted May 7, 2018 3 minutes ago, sir_gary_cahill said: Why do you think it's nonsense? Two reasons to be honest. Firstly, the type of football we play is vastly underrated by those on here who decided long ago that bruce doesn't play good football. Yes we sometimes play some shit stuff, but on the whole our football is decent for this level, and better than the majority of teams in this league. Secondly, a good player will make the most of what he has to work with. We have plenty of footballers who do just fine with our style of football. Hogan looks lost in our team because he is shit. He's had plenty of opportunities in our team and if he was any good he'd have done well. But he's not. Yes he has played in games where he's had no chance because we've played poorly. But he's also played in plenty of games where he's had plenty of the ball and good chances and he's largely blown it. If RHM is good enough then he'll make it here under Bruce, or under the next guy. Those still blaming style of play for Hogan's ineptness are either making excuses for a poor player, or grasping onto a stick to bash the manager with. Hogan is shit. If RHM isn't shit, then he'll do just fine here. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
