Quote: MorePlaymakersNeeded "I get that were hoping for DP to get the best out of each individual, and the squad as a collective. However, I'd be surprised if Hughes could be turned into a player that would be what I consider to be the quality of a regular in the match day 17. I never rated him at Wigan, and have never rated him in the P&B, and at 30, he really should not be standing in the way of Longstaff, or other squad members that are more likely to develop into that first team regular. We signed him after a loan spell at Huddersfield, and for me, we would have been better off loaning him out and keeping either Doro or Robson as back up.'"
Agree re: Longstaff. He should be in the 17 every single week. If he’s not as good as Hughes/Holmes right now, the difference is negligible as to the potential from what he/we would gain. Same with Doro and Davis/Clark. Doro could develop into something, they have done all of their growing and learning and still aren’t making an impact.
