Scott Hogan - retired

[Villafirst]

I'm sure Scott would be better than Borja Baston! Another shite decision by the management. And helping out the morons across the City makes it worse. Hogan plays best in a two upfront. Smith somehow fails to see it....

[LukeJames]

I realise its been a shite day and things look bleak but I maintain that  Hogan doing well for somebody is good for us, and lets not re-write history saying we should of given him a go this season etc, not one single person was advocating that before he started scoring for them.

[AlexAlexCropley]

Some players just cannot perform for big clubs

[London Villan]

Do small heath play with two up front?

I just think it strange that Smith couldn't get a tune out of him bearing in mind he had him at Brentford ......

[robleflaneur]

 It's not been totally disastrous. Watford winning nobody expected that,they are within reach however.But Brighton result was a very big positive .I had more hope of overhauling them than West Ham..The last game might see them safe,on the beach as opposed to having to get points v us to stay up.
Bournemouth haven't pulled away.It could get worse before it gets better,ie Leicester away.The return of McGinn could be a game changer.We are in a better position of being in the Cash League than we were 12 months ago.

I know you have to play and give your all for the shirt you are wearing and the noses and Hogan are currently having a big love in with each other but him blowing kisses to the travelling Small Heath fans after scoring today is a bit OTT.

I take no notice of anyone scoring goals in the championship

there is a long list of players who have done that in the past including ones who have played for us who will never make it at premier league level

the gulf is massive
as it is for every other aspect of the game

Remember he did sod all at Sheffield United and Stoke so this run was hardly predictable.

[GarTomas]

We will need him in the Championship.

Maybe Smith should have given him a chance in the premier league when we had no fit striker.

Serious questions need to be asked of this total shitshow of a season.

I agree. Playin AEG ul top was a bloody disaster. Hogan could do worse than AEG did

Jesus wept. This year was always going to be a struggle. We’re in a domestic cup final today and barring yesterday where results went against us we were hanging on outside the bottom 3.

But it’s been a shit show of a season and now a player who by his own admission didn’t perform well enough for us as he thought he had made it and who most fans wanted rid of is scoring goals whilst out on loan for a mid table championship has retrospectively become the answer?!?

[GXVilla]

He’s found his level at a mid-championship team. Great news for us as we might get a few bob for him. How anyone can think he would be any use in the Premier League is beyond me. A shit player settled in well at a shit team. Good luck to him.

Maybe you misread my reply

[mr underhill]

I hope he keeps scoring as he only has a year left on his contract, so a big fee is unrealistic. If he doubles his tally by season's end, I would have thought £5m is possible.

[OzVilla]

He’s having his purple patch. Good for him.

However unfortunately for us they’ll be no one foolish enough to spend the kind of money on him like we did the last time he had a purple patch.
