Ovis aries Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 The forgotten man, does not get a lot of mention nowadays, seemingly not missed at all , which is a good sign surely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyHudson Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Wouldn't say he's forgotten really. Think everyone's just accepted the fact that we probably won't see him this season, so he's in the back of people's minds a bit more. As we get closer to his return, the prospect of a Thorne/Hughes/Johnson midfield will be a mouth-watering thing indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shang Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Bumped into him at a pub in Hackney for the Forest match. He pretty much said he's out for the rest of the season but he's progressing well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramsbottom Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 While I wouldn't say he's been forgotten about, it just goes to show the progress we've made. Two season ago people would still be in tears about it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuespachRam Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 He is still getting my vote for player of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackworthRamIsGod Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 It's all ifs and buts... But, if Hughes and Bryson hadn't got injured on day 1, would we have bought Johnson and Butterfield? We are much stronger for having those in the squad and I don't think we would have got both, if any, if Hughes and Bryson hadn't got injured. I would still not wish injury to any player, but the injury to Hughes could turn out to be the reason we signed 2 players who could be so key to our promotion. And to unleash Hughes on Premiership teams is a mouthwatering prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal is a Ram Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 With Hughes fit, I don't think we'd have bought Butterfield in, despite the rumours. I think we were looking for someone like Bradley Johnson anyway - I remember PC making a comment about wanting one more in the middle before the injuries came about.

Rampage Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 The value of having a big squad filled with quality players has been, is being and will be demonstrated clearly this season. If one of our players has a problem, then loan him out quickly and bring him back fitter and happier. They are still getting paid, generally have long contracts and are expecting a wages hike next season if we get promoted. Clement seems to be managing this issue extremely well. The work rate against Hull was exceptional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Hughes ain't forgotten man at all, like Eddie said he's our new chief scout. Anyway I find it strange that you're posting this that but ignored my two questions (1 about Huddlestone and 1 about Jason Roy) funny that.

Gary Teale Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I still think Hughes is a lot better player than Butterfield and will improve the team when he is back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StantonRam Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Not forgotten at all, once he's back he'll be in contention for a regular place, and will probably merit one if previous form is anything to go by. If we go up he will prove his worth I'm sure - last season there were times when, in the absence of Thorne & Martin, he looked like the only truly Prem class player we had on the pitch, and there must have been times when he maybe thought so too. The most unfortunate thing with his injury is that we don't get to see him playing alongside Thorne & Johnson or Thorne & Butterfield in what would surely be a midfield 3 that could hold its own in the top flight. We didn't forget Thorne when he was out and we haven't forgotten Will either, and for much the same reasons, most notably that I never saw him give anything less than 100% for the shirt, even when those around him were not delivering the goods and we were struggling. He has bags of skill, bags of commitment and bags of energy, and he will I'm sure get the ovation he deserves when he comes back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
