Looks like we have given up going up this season Wow he would be one of the first gone for me, captain of a team that's powderpuff and inconsistent, surely we should be going down a different route next season, young dynamic players with hunger, I don't want a team of 30 odd year old journey men who can't play two decent games a week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzlatic Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Wonder whether Hogan is planning on coaching? He always talks really well about the game. I'd be happy with him staying on as a squad player with some coaching thrown in. Possibly getting him ready for the main job further down the line. Granted, this is all speculation based solely on the fact he's a captain and speaks well in interviews!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't strike me as a potential manager when I've listened to him if I'm being honest, might as well bring Clarkey back as well to play alongside him whilst we are at it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plan might be to use him as an experienced, popular squad player rather than building the whole first team around him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for me, look at those we've kept from previous seasons, there's so much to change and I honestly think we need to go in a different direction. I know he's a model pro, represents the club impeccably and puts most of the squad to shame with his fitness and application but we need better players if we are going to progress. He's out of contract and his wage would be better used elsewhere. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightDN123 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I’d imagine the plan is for Sutton to step up and play / cover the centre back role. We have to many centre backs and if we are deciding between McGahey and Hogan, then relegation specialist McGahey would be binned off in a flash. Hogan will be a valuable squad player and provide cover and experience. Raglan and Hobson are more than good enough for this level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather we give Hogan 12 months and sign a proper DM instead of McGahey. And a proper RB/RWB is even more of a priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he thinks we're pricks now, he'll have seen nothing if he becomes manager! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Release everyone who's out of contract but keep Sutton and Cookson as backup and use the loan market if needed (assuming we're still in the NL).

Londonboy Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I actually think he is done ok and could do a job for us next season. Regular 7/10 week in week out for me. Let's be honest our probability of going up this season is below 10%. He rarely let's us down and I've not seen him down tools like many others seem to have done at various stages this season. He will be an invaluable squad player and leader next season....and we haven't got those in abundance so good decision in my book. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GKing521 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 May have been a clause in his original deal about a potential third year that has been triggered? There are also wage increases bolted in for a lot of the deadwood who will still be kicking around next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played centre half, left back, right wing back- good pro and always puts a shift in. We aren’t getting promoted, and he’s good enough for this division. So no issue with one more year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lags Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Sutton in for Hogan...Really? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzlatic Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 He’ll probably go to 4 at the back next season won’t he? If so then Raglan and Hobson will be the likely starter. Hogan and Sutton as back up or if he switches to a back 3. If that’s the case I’d rather have Hogan in that role than bringing someone new in.
