Hogan could be an enormous asset to us if only we could play to his strengths - long, high, hopeful punts will not be exploited by a player who prefers to use his considerable pace with the ball on the ground, through the channels. Seeking to use the full backs to provide the killer pass (or, even worse, the CB) is not a strategy favouring either Hogan or Kodjia.I hope he gets fit, and I hope that RHM (if / when fit) also gets a meaningful run-out.
If his foot's just sprained, that is brilliant news. He hasn't contributed what he's clearly worth yet, but if he's able to play at all this season, Bruce has to find a spot for him rather than just an add-on. Kodjia is not going to be prolific enough to get us out of this, while Hogan was at Brentford. Why he's persevered with Kodjia being his main goalscorer I can't work out.
I humbly beg to differ - he could do a useful job at any number of lower status PL clubs
No chance, there's a reason why he's 28 and spent his career in France and at the arse end of the Championship, he doesn't have the awareness to play at a higher level.
