Scott Hogan - retired

[KRS]

We'd all like him to have done well, but Hogan is a one trick pony and he's not even very good at that. No pace, too small, doesn't graft, doesn't score and can't create his own chances. A complete waste of time, space and money. Terrible signing...and a perfect example of why we are where we are.

I must have heard 'we don't play to his strengths' a hundred times now.  I'd like to know what these strengths are, because I haven't seen any.

We had the same with Darren Bent.
When he arrived we had Young and Downing as his supply line.
When they went He was a shadow of of his former self.

When Hogan arrived he had no supply line, But, with the likes of Jack, Bolasie, El Ghazi it's possible he could start firing again if he gets a bit of a run of games.

Good comparison

Thing is with bent, even when he was scoring the team wasn't doing thay well. Same at Sunderland and Charlton. I just think its too limiting to have a centre fwd who basically just looks to score and contribute little else

Bent also had a bit of pace which worried defenders whereas Hogan does not.

Bent's pace went after that ankle injury in the McLeish season. He was scoring well in a crap team minus Young and Downing before then if I recall correctly.

Yep away at Wigan, innocuous challenge and think he trod on the ball, was never the same afterwards. Of course the substitution McLeish then made sealed his fate and the away crowd turned......

[Risso]

Hogan will never get a better supply line than he might get now with the likes of Kodjia, Bolasie, Albert and El Ghazi.  With Abraham going, or gone, whatever, Hogan isn't going to get a better chance to show us we are wrong about him than the rest of this season.

Have you seen the quality of the final ball from Bolasie and El Ghazi? Absolutely shocking the majority of the time.

Bent was an England international when he came to us.  He did well for us in the Premier League for the remainder of the season after he signed, only for it to go wrong under McLeish and injuries finished him off.  Hogan has struggled against poor opposition for going on two years now.

If we can somehow start playing the football Hogan thrives on, like he had with Brentford.

I’d be playing Hepburn-Murphy, I think he’d do a better job.

Me too.  On the few occasions I've seen RHM he looks to have something about him.  Scored a great goal last night too, so he seems to be fit and in form.  Thing is, if he can't get a game now, will he ever?

No sure about that, some of Bolasie's crosses have been outstanding.

[ChicagoLion]

And relax.

[Clampy]

Some of his crosses have been great. Not all of them but he's set a few up.

[robleflaneur]

Perhaps we might sell him to get funds towards improving other areas and keeping to FFP.
The new boss at Sheff Wed won't be interested but Wilder at Sheff U rates him and I've heard that Wolves are desperate to sign a new striker.

I don't agree with that

His wages are the problem ...


well, that and the fact that he's shite.

Eddie Murphy would do a better job, let’s face it
