    He's better at finding space and finishing than our multi-million pound forwards.

    Hope he's fit enough to go straight into the starting XI.

    Gracia doesn't rate him, so I hear.

    Sounds like Gracia is a harsh judge then.

    Glad to see Hughes back, and I hope he gets a starting slot as soon as he is fit enough.

    Why doesn't Gracia rate him?

    Maybe he is still injured/unfit ?

    He's always been ****. Just got a bit lucky in a few games. Needs to go in the summer with Deeney.

    Always see him in Cafe Nero in Radlett looking thoroughly miserable and not very injured.

    Could be a secret weapon if it’s snowing tomorrow. He’ll basically be camouflaged.

    He's probably just seen the Vitas Gerulaitis tribute who plays at the tennis club,enough to upset man and beast!

    Couldn’t you rouse him with some heartening words?

    Or at least insist he logs off the forum.

    Some of the Derby fans seem to like us more than our own fans.

    He’s made a match winning contribution almost every appearance so far and is able to play brilliantly in tight spaces . If he can keep that up consistently he will be one hell of a player for us .

    Nah, he’ll be injured in the next match and we won’t see him again until Christmas.

    It does. He's made 15, with 7 being successful.

    Capoue has made 7/10 tackles and Doucoure has made 2/4 (which is pretty poor)

    So it actually rather ties in with what I suspected, which is that Hughes fouls a lot - which isn't that great.

    An unsuccessful tackle isn't automatically a foul is it?
     
  31. lowerrous

    True, in which case the statistics need even more clarity. However I do get the impression that Hughes does foul a lot.
     
  32. Steve Leo Beleck

    Steve Leo Beleck Squad Player

    The definition of a tackle on these stats seems to be "Dispossessing an opponent, whether the tackling player comes away with the ball or not". Whether or not the tackler comes away with the ball, it's still useful to dispossess the opposition. If you tackle someone and it goes straight into touch, that's still worthwhile...

    Definitely needs some time out of the side. He is a very tidy, clever footballer and he is likely only going to get better, but he all too often offers little to nothing or any real substance when being played in a wide right position, and was an absolute passenger on Saturday.

    Needs to play centrally or not at all.
     
  34. FromDiv4

    FromDiv4 Reservist

    He was clattered several times on Saturday and was struggling with an injury from early on. Could have been subbed earlier, but probably tried to play through the pain. Can’t believe he did not get some free kicks given for him for some of the challenges.

    You are right though, we do not seem to of seen the best from him since he has been starting wide on the right.

    Totally agree he is wasted on the right he should play in the centre.
