I think the new club owners will have a Million Pound player, once Curley-Cobblers has given him belief!

Didn’t have his best game today but was unlucky with a few of those offside decisions .
He and Williams seem to have very little understanding

All of this "does he, doesn't he" debate concerning Hoskins deserving a place in the team, it's a moot point. The simple fact is, a majority of our recent managers consider him worthy. Now, I'll admit that from where I'm standing (or more usually sitting), I'm sure it is the lad's pace and work rate which gets him picked - it certainly isn't his finishing, but our squad has been woefully pedestrian for a few seasons now. Hoskins has been one of the few grafters.
I like Sammy's attitude, and I'd love him to iron out the many flaws in his game. But I think January could prove quite telling for the lad, because unless he can suddenly learn to read the game better, and not panic when in sight of goal, I'm expecting his to be one of the places in jeopardy from new arrivals.

I take your point.

Although this whole thread is titled "Head Down Hoskins", I'm not sure that is what he does when shooting at goal, as a number of attempts seem slightly mis-hit. Perhaps adopting a "just smash it at goal" approach, concentrating 100% on getting the right ball contact might produce better results.

He's still in my team though.

He is in the team because he has bugger all in the way of competition.

Thought he was poor. What annoys me the most is the stupid and unnecessary off-sides.

Back in the starting XI for this afternoon's game v Oldham.

Let's hope he nets on his return to the side, as Powell did on Tuesday.

Worked hard second half and laid on a sitter for Crooks. Have no idea why he dropped Powell, Waters and Williams. Was crying out for Williams to come on in the last 15 mins.

Am I thinking of a different chance? but wasn’t the Crooks one a Powell cross that the defender put into Crooks path?
As for the players dropped, Waters didn’t start against Macclesfield? and for me VV has to start and he got a goal and assist to surely  justify this, who plays alongside him is arguable, but non of our other strikers have done anything to merit a place. Maybe harsh to drop Powell who scored in the previous game.

Hoskins laid on a 1-on-1 chance for Crooks in a good counter attack in the early stages of the 2nd half, which Crooks lifted wide.

Apart from the chance Hoskins set up for Crooks, thought he offered little going forward, however defensively I thought he was excellent in the second half

He did his job in the second half. A good performance.

Hoskins was poor again going forward offers little to no threat, defensively he runs and runs and runs.

First half he was a passenger. Absolutely hopeless.

Second half really helped the defence and contributed to a solid team display.

I am not a constant Hoskins knocker but he was terrible yesterday .
In the first half he lost the ball persistently and was no threat at all . His understanding with VV is zero .
Second half he scurried about okay but he is not the answer up front .

Some of yr predictions used to be accurate; just recently you have been all over the place. You even got Macclesfield wrong! What’s the problem? Woman trouble? Brexit?
