I really despair at how woefully inadequate the average NTFC fan is in terms of footballing know-how. Hoskins will always be one of the first names on the team sheet, because he is one of our best players. For those of you who wonder at his goal ratio...... tell me, what were the instructions he had from his manager (s)? Have you ever wondered that your fantasy-land of blinkered football-ness fails to outweigh manager after manager who plays him, time and time again..... How do opposing managers cope with him? We have probably the best manager of lower-level football. He knows that playing Hoskins is like having an extra man on the pitch. You really are a bunch of thick-headed, clueless, knuckle-dragging, sub-cognitive vacuums..... Are you the best supporter in Div2? No..... You are are a clueless, self-obsessed half-wit, who doesn't even have the where-with-all to understand self-pleasure, let alone perform it. I am so pleased Hoskins’ mum contributes to our esteemed forum . Did he eat his greens when he was younger ?

I wouldn't be quite so aggressive in my phrasing, but I'd broadly agree with the gist of what you're saying. He's a good player. He lacks any direct end product but teams HATE defending against him. You could see that in the last two home games; he runs at them, they panic and either commit a foul or hoof the ball away into touch, often in a dangerous area. Add to that the phenomenonal work rate (and an engine that allows him to maintain it for 90 minutes) and you can see why the last SIX managers have had him in or around the team whenever he's been available.

I absolutely agree Mrs Hoskins , I think more players put his effort in then we'll be in a better place Not exactly Beckham with his crosses but certainly a credit

Nope. He couldn’t finish his dinner.

He's one of our best players though. His Mother told us so.

He's one of our best players though. His Mother told us so. IMO Hoskins didn't have a good game yesterday and made many wayward crosses/passes etc. but performed his defensive duties well enough. Personally I've always thought Waters is a more 'natural' footballer who offers more guile and composure on the ball than Hoskins and that yesterday he had a pretty good 45 after coming on for Crooks. Given a run of games in the starting XI I fancy he could begin to contribute goals. However perhaps Hoskins' physicality and ability to get up and down the pitch helps the team more defensively and gives it greater balance at the moment. I still think as the season progresses Hoskins will be better as an impact player coming off the bench to run at tiring back fours, much as he was utilised by Wilder.

Hoskins can be very frustrating, but people remember the few mistakes he makes rather than the work rate and danger that he poses the opposition. Wilder, Page, Edinburgh, Hasselbaink, Austin and Curle all have him in or about the team. Perhaps some don’t understand the game as well as they think! 🤔

Those managers apart from Curle and Wilder are hardly an endorsement of footballing knowhow

Curle and Wilder is enough.

Hoskins seems to attract criticism much as Cornell does, much of it unwarranted.
I can think one one particularly poor cross yesterday, but that aside as solid as anyone.
Already been mentioned - his energy levels and willingness to work are his strengths, and why he's a regular in the side.

Think the lack of wide options is another reason he's still in the side.

One decent cross aside he was dreadful in possession yet again. He's the one player in the squad who I'm genuinely surprised when he produces anything in an attacking area.

Ha!...funny how those before and after them favour his inclusion! Agreed, they are not the best at managing a squad though.

Gave the ball away constantly and did nothing going forward . I really do wonder what game people watch sometimes . We need to give Powell or Waters a go in that role now

It's not even just his finishing that's an issue, it's also his passing. I'm not sure he made one successful pass on Saturday continually giving Crewe possession back leading to numerous counters (luckily Crewe were woeful). He's a wasted player on the pitch.

Hoskins is Shyte, all he’s got is running running and more running. Powell is light years ahead and should be starting.

I saw him intercepting quite a few of their passes, you must have missed those.
