I think the fairest way to judge is goals per chances, rather than goals per game / season.

If you don't get the chances, you can't score the goals.

that said, I guess you could then argue the case that as an attacking player, there's a chances per game ration you might be interested and if you layer the goals per chances on top..... well you come back to the same thing.

Whats best, a player who gets 5 chances a game and sticks 1 in 20 away, or one who gets 1 chance a game but sticks every 4th one away.

Well, the truth is, they're the same but the second will probably look more clinical. In terms of profligacy, Hoskins is probably closer to the 1st description and someone like Powell closer to the second. Though you could argue Hoskins overall contribution "looks" better as he's a more industrious player.

And the truth is he is probably somewhere in the middle - average with very occasional flashes of quality.

Curiously Hoskins is attracting votes in the Clare Balding ratings for last Saturday. Listening to the commentary only vV seemed to be mentioned on a frequent basis.

All it shows is that no one really stood out apart from VV and Buchs so they are stretching it massively to have a shortlist of 4.

Tim Oglethorpe is not the definitive barometer to judge players on. I am sure he would be the first to admit this. Maybe he just likes beards?  Wink

Agreed. Our last 4 managers have selected Hoskins so he must be ok. I just cannot see it.., but what do I know?

Hoskins is now like a comedy act, he runs faster after balls he knows he can't win  Grin
The shot that went out for a throw in dear oh dear.

Remind me - How many goals this season from this "attacking" player. Dear me, indeed.

Hoskins could learn a bit or two from Pierre after his 'cameo' wing play, when he knocked the ball past their LB and ran round him, by the way that could have been a penalty for the tug when all we got was a corner.  Unfortunately the Referee was the wrong side.

The commentators mentioned that episode too; got the impression that they thought Hoskins contributions was err... limited. I see that Cornell has come in for some negative comments from a not unexpected quarter - are they justified?

Pierre probably has more goals than Hoskins Tongue
