cookeh Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 There's a few who are really important to us just now. Hooper, Reach, Hunt, van Aken, Bannan, Lee. I think Fletch has done well up top as well, but part of me does want to see Rhodes again, seeing as we've got better wide service as well as Bannan and van Aken's left peg looking for balls thru.

How many times Lee and Hooper played together this year can't be Many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveger Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Hoopers bang on form, but we need to start scoring more than 1 goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Hooper has totally shattered my preconceptions of him, to be honest. Before he signed for us, I knew he was a deadly goalscorer, but I thought that was pretty much all his game was about. Little did I know how brilliant he was at dropping off the front, linking up play, and generally making our entire attacking game rotate around him. He's such a clever footballer, he must be absolutely brilliant to play alongside. Oh, and he's still a deadly goalscorer, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plonk Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Wonder if he realises what a hatrick on Sunday would do for his status at this club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shetland Owl Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 We are lucky now that we don't have to rely on one player, Hooper, Reach, Bannan, Lee , Fletcher you can go on they are all great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year they have started only five times. Ipswich 1-0 Derby 2-1 Forest 3-1 Brentford 2-1 Cardiff 1-1 Very impressive players. Im just saying, Hooper hasn't always been first-choice for Carlos. Preston being an obvious example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. If you look back to the early months of last season before he got injured, Carlos had him on the bench for 6 of the 17 matches. Then again first match this season.

oldishowl Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 So what we are saying is that two key players were only fit for a small part of the season (because apart from the odd away game Hooper started if fit) yet somehow our manager got us to 4th How many more points would we have got if both had played 40 games?

Then again first match this season. He was injured in pre season last season and didn't really have one . Carlos eased him back in . If any player needed easing in it was Hooper as his two subsequent hamstring strains showed. Just because he is on the bench doesn't mean he is 100% fit Carlos says Hooper is one of his key players, why would he leave him out if he is 100% fit other than occasional rotation to try and protect his hamstring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
