The only player you like is Norwood who is a marquee signing and has spent a lot of his career playing a lot higher. (Or in other words his level isn’t normal for this division) We are a shit (until proven otherwise) 5th division team. Hope has played the vast majority of his football in the football league. But he’s awful. . . He was our best player for a while under shez. Your player rating is far higher than the club you support. Most players in 4/5th division are good on their day but not consistent. Hope is one of them. Amazing- no. Awful- no. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hudson, Kitching, Raglan, Hobson, Sutton, Conlon, Lundy, Gardner, Reid, Norwood and Garner. - I rate all these players. Norman, Hogan, Fondop - these can be okay on a good day. Sorry that I like players to be good, for the level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that’s your opinion. We both support the club because we love the club. I don’t support the club to watch players like Hallam Hope turn back.

But you think that means everything and everyone should work around him. I don’t. I think he should contribute more in lots of different aspects. Many of which Barnsley and Tranmere fans said he would, and he hasn’t. Apart from Chesterfield at home. 34 minutes ago, LightDN123 said: Hallam Hope for us, was rubbish.

Sorry that I like players to be good, for the level. Up to this point. Hope has had a far better career than Hudson, Kitch, Hobson, Sutton, Lundy, Reid, and is back in the football league. (I like those players as well, just using a comparison) He is very far being rubbish, he scored some great goals. Rochdale away immediately comes to mind, and would always put a shift in. There is a correlation here. I am defending Hope because above all else I’ll take his faults because I know I’ll get a performance. I pull Norwood up because although he’s much better than Hope you don’t know what type of performance you’ll get. I think we just have very different ideas of what makes a good team and what player attributes you need to be successful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We see the game very differently, nothing wrong with that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BP1960 Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 I see my recommendation Jack Hazelhurst of Chorley signed for Burton Albion yesterday. A cracking player who will do really well IMO. I will be helping out Latics with a bit of scouting this season so hope I can find more like him. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks BP, a real shame Mellon didn’t throw him in last season as that might have increased his value or made him want to stay for regular first team football. Wonder if we are due compensation?
