I really hope he's fit for the game. It really is our luck that he'd pick up something after his incredible performance on the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Luckily Hogan is coming off a very good cup match, but ideally you want to stick with what has worked. I also worry that we won't play the way we did in the cup aka balls on the ground, and looking for a pass. Bruce's tactics against Norwich were identical to what we have been doing so far, expect now we have Davis who was able to win flick on headers, and hold up the ball. If we play like that with Hogan, I can guarantee we will lose. Hogan is not strong enough, and then we will constant give up possession until ultimately the other team scores. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCollins29 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Are we not over reacting slightly? Yes he had a superb game against Norwich, but we shouldn't be pinning all our hopes on a kid who has had one good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was integral to bringing other people into the game against Norwich. If we had another striker we could count on to do the same job then fair enough. Gabby has been used to do that, but his awareness, passing, ball control and so on is not the same obviously. Hogan is a good striker, but if we end up going back to hoofing up top we will have no one to bring it down and flick it on. So hopefully we play it on the deck and our midfield and wingers can do the rest. Although it could also present a chance to see Ross and Hogan.

alreadyexists Posted August 24, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted August 24, 2017 Yess, I'd heard he was likely injured so to hear he'll be fit is great news. Come on Keinan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big thing with youth is being able to demonstrate to all and sundry that when given the opportunity you show you can do it.......the next phase is consistency. its baby steps and progression....... not instant gratification.

bobzy Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Well played again Keinan. Great awareness of laying off the ball and constantly trying to run off the defence. Again, impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poitier Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 He couldn't get into it for the first half hour but was very good after that. For a youngster he is very good at drawing defenders to open up space for the pass. I'm sure Hogan would love to play off him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
