blunther Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Each time he's played up top on his own I've excused his lack of impact due to not having adequate support. However Davies has blown that away today. The kid did more in 45 minutes than Hogan's done all season. Hogan should be below Davies in the pecking order next season. Shows that you can et involved if you put the effort in 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fast looking like a massive waste of money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's like called a boxer 'bruise-prone' as a result of being repeatedly punched in the face. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Missed a very, very good chance and looks like another injury. It really hasn't worked out for him at all so far. Can only hope he see the 'old' Hogan after a full preseason. If there's one thing we have learnt from this is that we should never spend this sort of money on a Championship standard player again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 He's desperately unlucky isn't he, the ankle again. Hopefully it isn't too bad. While I've supported Hogan in recent weeks in saying he needs support from the midfield, I thought Davis was so much better than him today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted May 7, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted May 7, 2017 He's not very good. Davis was much more impressive today than this guy. Disappointed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't, you're thinking of the Lansbury miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 (edited) He is slow, weak, doesn't move, doesn't work the channels, doesn't see his midfielder in trouble so goes wide to provide an outlet....and I have never seen a forward miss so many chances in the warm up.

Yes, that's the one, the sort of chance you'd expect a £10m+ striker to finish off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hogan isn't a bad player, he was clinical for Brentford in a style that suited him. He's suffered like a lot of our signings in that we don't seem to play to their strengths. It's a scattergun transfer policy, which needs to be sorted. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangely enough I actually think those two, Hogan and McCormack would play well together as a front two. fingers crossed for that to happen! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take it you haven't seen the recent Bruce comments that he doesn't bear a grudge and basically the door (not gate) is open for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thabucks Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Laughable that people are writing him off already after an injury hit couple of months in a team which produces very little in the way of service or quality. How did Ashley Young do in his first 6months? Give him time. He may be shite or become a legend too early to tell either way. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
