This is exactly why we have strength in depth. Hooper out, in comes Rhodes, Forestieri, Winnall or Fletcher. Don't mistake excitement for nerves. We're on our way. None of who do the job that Hooper does. I fear for us if he's out. Call it an over exaggeration I don't really care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RocketOwl Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Hooper is a huge loss. Is it true though? Why would the club let Huddersfield know this? If Hooper was playing they have to consider maybe their centre midfilder playing a bit deeper and centre backs pushing up, if FF started it would surprise them and could have been an advantage as we would play a completely different way, with FF probably playing on that big lumps shoulder.

Guest Coyt Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Have to say Hooper will be a big miss, for me he's been one of our key players since his return but as others have said we certainly have enough quality in our attacking department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst Hooper was playing up until his injury (mid Nov), we were 9th, then in his absence we rose to 6th, then on his return we rose to 4th Almost impossible to say what effect Hooper has had, good or bad. His goal total has been woefull this season, scoring in 2 wins in 26 appearances, but he brings other things to the team. But having good player out is a bad thing, whoever they are.

Really confident after beating Ipswich But now I've got a feeling it's going to go wrong... I'd have much preferred to be at Hillsborough first to try get it finished. Or is it just me being nervous? I'll be devastated is if we don't go up :/ especially If Udders beat us 3 or 4 nil and we go to Hillsborough with the game over But on the other hand we get a draw there... Then I'll be Mega confident of us finishing it at Hillsborough Wet fannies are back again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMOwl72 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Hooper not playing gives a chance to someone else. A chance to fire Wednesday to the play off final and play at Wembley in front of 90,000. If that was me I'd be making sure I took it with both hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeroswfc Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I think we can get by without him. But he is a big loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call it an over exaggeration I don't really care I would be worried if both him and Lee were out as we struggle to link midfield to attack without them. Not ideal to be missing him but with Lee in the team I think we will be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashamanic Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 A big loss, as though we have quality replacements with proven record at this level, they don't play the same way or link midfield to attack the way he does. With Lee fit, he might be able to cover some of that, and maybe Forestieri can do something similar. Or, we could try and push down the wings a little more. There should be enough quality in the squad that even if we have to change style a little it won't really make too much difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gresh Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 He's certainly a loss but we don't just rely on one player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be stupid, no ones hysterical I can just see how extremely vital he is, if you can't that's not my problem put it this way, if I had to choose between FF or hooper being out, I'd choose FF. More likely to get a result with hooper in the side, but that's just my personal opinion Edited May 10, 2017 by FreshOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several threads? Cmon now. And these other top sides, you mean Newcastle? Where hooper featured and was instrumental in the home win. We have got an abundance of striking talent I agree, but winnall and Rhodes operate in the six yard box, and don't link up the play further up the pitch, without that link they become isolated, thus obsolete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
