Call in Gabby to save the day. Oh. From what Ive seen Gabby wouldn't be much of a downgrade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious problems in our squad. I said the same in the match thread. None of them give a shit. The majority are just mercenaries here to collect their premier league wages.

The only way Gabby is scoring 14 times is if you send him up Broad Street for the year. Hogan has barely been given a chance due to the dross we play. How many times has the ball been played in to his feet in his 3 games? He hasn't impressed for us, but like so many players, he's been set up to fail by our complete lack of gameplan. Bruce takes the blame, IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce takes the blame, IMO. I agree. I still can't remember any time when he's had a decent ball played to him, let alone a decent chance laid on for him. My only real gripe with him last night was a bit more awareness and he could have brought down the ball that he ended up heading across the goal for Thor's chance in the first half, and probably scored. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Agreed he's being wasted enormously. No great surprise there we seem to do it with everyone we buy. The team need to gel and I get impression that is going to take a long time and probably pain, yes more pain, to go on top of the existing pain. Not sure he is suited to the lone striker role though. Didn't really seem to get hold a single "pass" played up to him. Even the ones that were within thirty yards of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Was very impressed with him at forest but seen little to impress since that game - hope his injury is not too bad although I suspect he might be out long term Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're playing the no service card, surely the same applies to both players though? Or has our team suddenly struggled to create chances just since Hogan arrived?

Gabby was also in a similar position but I would back Hogan to put away more chances should they actually come their way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaving historic opinions and personal dislikes aside, in my view Gabby's performance at home to Preston was as good a centre forward's performance we've seen all season. He worked the defenders, ran the channels, held the ball up really well, brought wide players into game and caused them a real problem. I would have no problem with 'that' Gabby playing the rest of the season, none at all! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night, before the game, they focused on Hogan and they displayed his career stats. I was shocked to see last night's game was just his 80th, at the age of 24. You'd have thought he'd have played at least 125-150 games at that age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparrow1988 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Do people think that last night is to do with Hogan being susceptible to injuries? It just looked like a very unfortunate landing. I would wager that 99% of people landing like that, would end up in a heap like Hogan did and that it has nothing to do with his previous injuries. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying he's injury prone, but here's a picture of him setting some mouse traps in his house over the winter. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wezbid Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 It's chowder, say it right! It really was just a nasty landing with his whole body weight going over on his ankle, nothing to do with his brutal knee injuries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViewFromT2 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) Not sure if he is susceptible to injuries or not, but one thing is clear....Collymore was bang on the money here....£15m on him is total lunacy.....he's a £4-5m player tops!

PaulC Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 he doesn't think its too bad. Could just be a sprained ankle so maybe 3 or 4 weeks out if the scan shows no break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
