It's clear that Bruce wants to press from the front. That'll break Fletcher over 46 games. With Atdhe chasing shadows, he's better coming off the bench latter stages. Hugill would be a younger, mobile, and more robust option. spot on bud Hugill has pace,cost boro 10 mill if i remember right,somebody said earlier like Nuhui ?no he can hit a barn door Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos said we lost Joao's head in the clouds, and Bruce has said he wants Joao "right between the ears". Those aren't compliments. SB want's rid of Joao,FF and Rhodes,Hugill would be brill if we could get him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agentwalker Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 (edited) Just watched the regulatory YouTube compilation and I like what I see. Will ask the guy at work tomorrow who's a West ham fan, see what the deal is. But we need to get the dead wood out first. Then loan this guy.

Maddogbob Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Tbf we could find better value in league 2. I fail to see what he would bring to improve the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Dunno about Hugill, he’s not a bad player but I think of we lose FF Joao and Rhodes id like us to bring in someone a bit special , who’s got a bit more to offer than Hugill who I think would probably compete with Fletch for a shirt and if Fletch comes back in the form he was in at back end of last season Hugill won’t get a sniff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bez Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I go to about 5 PNE games a season due to having a mate working at the club. Saw Reach and Hugill when they played in the same team and you could tell that Reach was a class above the rest of the squad, hence why I was excited when we got him. Hugill has never been at the same level imho - a decent and brace striker but not worth the hype or money. Here is the one game I remember most as Reach got into the box and assisted Hugill who bravely headed in - sums them both up well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBWX7TOVwrU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a shame his mental attitude isn't strong enough as he has all the physical attributes, technique and a bit of pace to be a very good player if he'd gain a bit of bottle, but like Reach,hes too soft. Would be awesome with someone like deeney's attitude, desire and workrate. Edited June 24, 2019 by shezzas left peg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DesWalker Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 If this is the type of striker we are after I suspect Bruce is looking at a lone front man with two attacking wingers supporting him. Fletcher can can play this role, however not for 46 games a season. He probably sees Nuhiu as an option off the bench. We’ll need someone else to carry the workload of this role. Hugill would tick this box. The key for me is who SB brings in to support this role. We need legs from midfield running beyond the front man and pace out wide. Of which we don’t really have either at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffjohnsonmyhero Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Bruce is in charge ,He is paid to get results ,We pay to see results ,What ever he decides for the good of the club ,And we get the results promotion a must ,Get on with it Bruce .

TrickyTrev Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Next season if we are going with a forward line of Hugil, Fletcher, Nuhiu and Winnall I really struggle to see where the goals will come from to maintain a top 6 push. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A player with Jordan Hugills attributes who gets 20/30 a season is out of our reach because they are pretty much David Hirst.

Certainly I wouldn’t be adverse to playing that way, but you have give yourself a decent chance of making it work. Neither Fletcher nor Hugill are prolific, so you’d need goals aplenty from out wide, and that rules Harris out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
