    Not for me. He did alright and had some good games, but overall I wasn't too impressed.
    I just think we had a bit more about us when he played, that's assuming we are still after a target man type striker

      Hopefully we can see a few loan signings ourselves very soon. We are lacking midfield artistry (plenty of energy and industry) and goals with the current squad.

      I assume the expected CB signing is a permanent deal - and not a youngster.
      Welshlad seemed to think it was an experienced PL CB. Wonder who that is.

        Hugill will be backing up Pukki at Norwich but I'd like to think we can do better. He started well but he's a bit of a carthorse.

          They can be a great resource, but you aren't investing anything in your own team by doing so. Fantastic if it keeps you up or gets you into a playoff spot, but if we're expecting a mid table season as I am, then what's the point?

          If the lower league players we've signed prove they can cut it at this level then their values will all go up, if they're not getting game time because we are playing some premier league team's kids then they wont.

          That said, I'd be happy with Hugill back on a loan.
          Yeah I would be more than happy with Hugill, thought he did well for us and I think he would benefit from better restructure we should hopefully have next season.

            Re: Current squad

            I reckon we’re still 5 short, especially if he follows last season’s model.
            2 CB or 1 plus Morrison
            1 attacking CM
            2 CF to replace Hugill & Ikpeazu. We haven’t replaced Moore & desperately need to do so.

              If we could get Doyle back, that would be great. We need someone that can pick a pass. If we can get a left footed centre back, that would be great. I wonder if we are in for Matt Clarke at Brighton. If we are going to play 3 at the back, it really helps to have someone left footed. I think we’ll try to get at least 3 of those 5 above in as loans

                Re: Current squad

                My wishlist:

                1x CB (if Morrison doesn't recover / re-sign, I think he leaves behind a big hole at the back. None of Nelson, McGuiness, Ng has reached his consistency before)
                1x CAM (some creativity PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD)
                1x Winger (would feel much better if not heavily relying on O'Dowda (average) / Tanner (complete unknown))
                2x ST (not Hugill for me. Not as anything more than a 3rd/4th choice. Hell I'd rather give Zimba a go! Need to be aiming way higher than starting Hugill if we want to be a playoff team)

                  are you expecting to be a playoff team this season?

                    I go into every season thinking that is the aim.

                      I wasn't last season and I'm not this season unless we pull a couple of incredible signings out of the bag in the next few weeks

                        We should aim to be, the division is crap.

                          Sure we should try to be. but I'm not expecting it - a lot would have to fall into place for that to happen

                            I think that's a bit harsh. He's strong, he works hard and he's a good finisher. We could do better, but we could do a lot worse. He was the best centre forward at the club last season.

                                Yeh the season when Aden Flint was our top goal scorer.
