Walking off in a fairly relaxed fashion at the end there. I'm no physician but looked encouraging.
Good goal from the shaggy haired target man today. |  | | |  |

I think Oteh has done reasonabkly well when he has come on as a sub, but will he start at Wigan rather than Chair or Shodipo?
I expect that BOS will be the Hugill replacement & then it would be a choice of bringing Chair back & Eze playing wider or Shodipo providing the width.
My expectation weould be that start with the same team that finished the first half at 'boro. |
Ya, that's most likely alright. |  |

There's definitely an argument to say we create so many chances playing this way that anybody could score. This is the first time since 2003/04 we've had two strikers get 15 goals or more and neither Hugill nor Wells have really been this prolific before or since. In fact it's already the best scoring season of Hugill's professional career.
Maybe we should get Conor back, really put it to the test. |
Hugill should have 25 goals this season. His shots on target ratio is by far the worst of the top scorers in the league. Eze has a better percentage.
It would make our lives a lot easier if we could learn to defend. We have a great record scoring goals (4th highest in the league) but our defensive record is atrocious (joint 3rd worst) How can you score 60 goals and still have a negative goal difference! |  | | |

Are you really slating a striker for not having reached 25 goals with five games left? A little harsh - no-one in the division has scored that many yet. And of course, if Hugill was capable of that kind of strike rate he wouldn't be at QPR he'd be a regular at his home club.
In other news of maligned strikers, I see Matt Smith has 12 goals at a decent rate of one every 143 minutes. I know he's not a Warburton type but we could do with him now. |  |

No - not trying to slate him at all, just saying he could well be on 25 goals this season with a bit more composure in front of goal. He misses the target 2 out of 3 times, which I think is pretty poor at this level. Watkins has had a similar number of shots this season, but has hit the target 2 out of 3 times. And Watkins cost, what, £2 million? Hugill should be doing better. | | | |

That's kind of the Taarabt argument though isn't it - if he hadn't been such a headcase he wouldn't have been here. If Hugill didn't occasionally pop one over the bar from two yards out and did get 25 goals a season he wouldn't be on loan at QPR. |  | | |

Not even Les Ferdinand managed 25 goals in a season, and he had Sinton, Impey, Bardsley, and Wilkins feeding him.
Like others have said, if he put 2 out of 3 chances away he wouldn’t be playing for Preston, West Ham, or us. |  | | |

2 in 3 shots on target, not goals. I don't think it's a coincidence that the more you hit the target, the more goals you score. But are you seriously trying to compare this with Sir Les in the PL?
And I totally agree that if he were scoring that many goals every season he wouldn't be playing for us. But he has had the opportunity this year to prove he shouldn't be playing for us, but hasn't taken it. | | | |

Leaving aside his goalscoring it was just good to see him play better yesterday. He was really rusty against Barnsley and Charlton and it cost us badly. | |

I doubt very much that Les Ferdinand or any QPR striker put 2/3 on target either. Just think your criticism is unjustified and not in context with where we are as a club that’s all. | | | |

I like Hughill, there is something about him, hope we can keep him next season
as for goals he would have had another one on Sunday if Eze had simply made a 2 yard pass instead of trying to backheel it
its the ridiculous misses that make the goals so much more enjoyable |  | | |

Totally agree Brian and I do like him. He's a good player and has definitely shown how good he can be on numerous occasions. | | | |

Strikers all have their strengths and weaknesses. Hugill is combative, gets into good positions, making himself a lot of chances but misses a lot.
What matters is how many they do score. The rest is just perception and opinion. As a striker Hugill is about the best we could hope for these days and he's a good target man too. Plus he is amusing to watch. I like him. |  | | |

People really miss Matt Smith don't they?
I must've heard this about 100 times this season - a season in which hardly anyone has scored more goals than us, and despite the fact the man, much as I love him, could almost never get through 90 minutes.
He's the 'Option' isn't he? Supporters love an Option.
Option: Choice. A thing that is or may be chosen.
Option (football): A massive great bloke to whack the ball up to in times of dire need when all other ideas are exhausted. |  |

You may be missing the point there, Antti.
With Hugill injured we have no first choice striker available. We could do with literally any striker with a goalscoring record at this level. | |

Hugill is comparable to Rob Steiner or Heiðar Helguson. But even though his goals are more than them, he does not convince me he's a better player. In a struggling QPR side, he would struggle as well.
Even if he was on a free and was willing to accept less wages I would prefer we go for someone else. It's not that we can do better its that in the past we have done and we at least need to try and do better. Watkins being a perfect example if a different type of player.
Yes its hard, but possible. One cannot be saying in one way that Brentford do it and then say yeah but we can only get people like Hugill. IF we are to follow the Brentford model we need to find players better than Hugill. Yes that's the hard part and thus we need to try.
Imho we shall get top monies for Eze and a decent price for BOS. We must invest in a few players for that hoping one comes off. |  |
