Scott Hogan - retired

It’s never going to happen for him in a Villa shirt is it?

Definitely not, going to have to try and get him off on loan somewhere or swap him for someone else.

The obvious place to fly tip him is Brentford.  As a make weight for somebody decent.

Personally i don't think he's disinterested or lazy, just chronically lacking in confidence that he doesn't even try to make anything happen anymore. He had that one spell last season when he scored about 4 in 5 and it looked like he was getting his act together but then grabban came in and he was back to square one. Shame because he obviously did know where the goal was at one stage.

I trust your knowledge in thoroughbreds, Hogan for a horse please. Take it from there.

[Pvb1968]

He's very average and one dimensional.

[Ad@m]

He got one decent ball today and nearly scored. The rest of the time he was being asked to deal with hopeful punts from Elphick because central midfield was completely absent and the wingers were having a mare.

He's not the sort of player who's going to create something out of nothing. If you're looking for that head Kodjia's way. But if you want someone who can react around the box, something the likes of Gary Linekar, Ian Rush and Michael Owen made careers out of, then I think he's your man.

It just seems churlish to slate him today when he was stuck at the top of the worst performance we've seen in ages.

[SoccerHQ]

He needed to score from that one decent ball today. I know Tammy missed the odd sitter here but he was pretty much a stick on to score from any decent cross as we saw with all his goals v Forest, QPR, PNE etc.

We're not finishing in the top 6 if we're waiting for Hogan to come good rest of the season. It's simply not a gamble worth taking when you factor in the potential lost millions.

Any minute he's playing when Davis is fit is a minute wasted.

Hogan will never be good enough, Davis has a chance.

[stuart445]

Smith said in his interview with AVTV about the chance we had right after kick off that had Hogan not touched the ball McGinn would have had an empty net to put the ball into.  I hope and pray that now means we'll never see the useless waste of a shirt again.

[LeeB]

We may as well start with 10 men, I've never seen a player so consistently offer so little.

[Ads]

We started with 9 today.

[LeeB]

That's being generous.

[itmustbe_it is!]

I think I influenced the game more than Hogan today

[LeeB]

I flushed more effective footballers down the toilet tgis morning.

So did I, and I didn’t even go.
