rodders0223 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Sheffield didn't even use their 3rd sub to bring him off the bench in a 1-1 draw they really could have done with winning. It's becoming a familiar story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's not then he's wages off the book. Can't really lose with this guy. The fee and wages are already written off now may as well use him as best we can in the side. He didn't really. He managed to stay fit at the same time as he went on a scoring run - as strikers do - scoring 13 goals in 18 games (according to Wiki, which is all I could be arsed to check). 18 games doesn't constitute enough of a run to judge a player who does nothing else. There could have been 5 penalties in that run (Wiki didn't specify). We should not have spent this much money and paid this much wages for someone with his record of goals and injuries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 I do love it when the Scott Hogan thread gets bumped. He’s a dreadful footballer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyjavfc Posted April 11, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted April 11, 2019 Regardless of his current form, it is surely absolutely damning that the one manager to get a tune out of Hogan in the past (Smith) has decided to loan him out rather than keep him in the squad. Just goes to show you, even with his good form at Brentford under his belt, Dean Smith recognises Hogan for what he is: a limited player suitable for a mid-championship team, not one with promotion hopes.

alreadyexists Posted April 12, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted April 12, 2019 I know it’s a cliche but the old ‘form is temporary, class is permanent’ axiom is true here. There’s more one hit wonder about Hogan than any sort of enduring ability. Shame, he’s got a good attitude and I wanted him to be really good, he’s just not.

tinker Posted April 14, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted April 14, 2019 I don't think he's a bad player we just have a very strong line up of strikers at villa who are more versatile than Scott. It's unfortunate he was loaned to a club who also have good strikers maybe a loan to a club who will play him would be a more sensible choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Unless Sheffield have a purchase clause I don't get loaning him to a promotion rival, there appears to be no real benefit our end, he's not even getting a good run of games there.

Mantis Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) I keep forgetting he exists tbh. We really did blow a lot of money down the drain that first season we came down. Edited April 21, 2019 by Mantis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his loan was much more to do with the strikers we have - Tammy and Kodjia with Davies as back up. Seems to me that Smith has got a lot out of players who were being vilified on VT - Taylor and Whelan anyone? I agree he is probably a championship player but a good one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was all for giving him a fair crack of the whip under Smith and I thought he would be a revalation. I was so so wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
