AshVilla Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 It infuriates me whenever i see this bloke play for us. Such a colossal waste of money and a dreadful signing under the current regime. What were our scouts thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Didn't look right before the game. Warming up one of the coaches had his arm around him and having a proper heart to heart. Hogan's body language was head down, looked really affected by something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A real Steve Bruce masterclass blowing £15m on Scott Hogan. Never in a million years worth that at the time but has sure as hell destroyed whatever decent player there was in there.

OutByEaster? Posted December 23, 2017 Moderator Share Posted December 23, 2017 It's a mystery to me how this player scored goals for Brentford. I just see nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 I'm sorry but the only time we tried to play through the middle Hogan made a good run and cut it back (poorly I give you that). However, why we put him on with Gabby, put his main provider out on the left and just lumped it forward to them on every occasion. It was awful so awful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 15 mil though. Absolute nothing player. Why do we always sign these fairies who give up when things don't go their way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post dounavilla Posted December 23, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted December 23, 2017 Hogan thrives on through balls and plays off the shoulder of the defenders. Scoring goals then builds his confidence and seems is a key part of his game. We Never play through balls and thus he never scores and his confidence is shit to peices. The answer to this equasion: Steve Bruce. The end. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a m ole Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Just totally the wrong team for him. He’ll score when the team is built to play for him, and won’t if it isn’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 He's another decent player (at this level), whose career has been destroyed by Steve Bruce. Chin up, Scott, you'll score elsewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Hogan's best chance of scoring goals is either playing off Davis or with Grealish in behind him. Today he was brought on with Davis going off and Grealish moving wide. He then had balls lumped forward for the last 15 minutes. Confidence is shattered, a goal or two playing in a team set up to aid him would do him the world of good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre match against Millwall he was just stood in center with a huge coat on while everyone else were warming up. He looks broken. 30 minutes ago, wilko154 said: Hogan's best chance of scoring goals is either playing off Davis or with Grealish in behind him.

When we bring him we change formation and start lumping it up to him. He has been shit for us there is no doubt, but like Hurihane, Bruce is making it much more difficult for the kid.

Davkaus Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 I'm torn. On the one hand, he scored 14 in 25 appearances in the months before we signed him, but he's 25, and that's the only good spell of form he's had at a decent level. It wouldn't hurt to set up the team to give him a **** chance though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nabby Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Confidence looks shatted ..not helped but getting zero service when on the pitch . Bruce has talked about getting a striker to hold up the ball in the Jan window , which begs the question why the hell he Brought a striker like Hogan in the first place if he wants a target man .... I keep hearing from Bruce he has no cash ..he has no cash as he blew millions last Jan and none of the signings have really done well...whilst Houriane at least is deemed good enough to start he is not the player he was at Barnsley.

The Fun Factory Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 (edited) Sell or loan him in January and write this one off. Its not working and he is lost at Villa. Use any money clawed back from this utter shambles of a transfer to bring in a decent target man who can play Bruceyball. He might be decent at a different club which plays some football- but not here. However he might be a one season wonder as well. Baffling waste of money- Steve Round has to answer a few questions on this. Edited December 23, 2017 by The Fun Factory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
