Absolutely..

He was brilliant.. he was quality, huge loss! Another big problem i think was the coaching, How many players have we brought who have had good seasons else where only to come here and for it to looked like alot of their promise had been coached out of them... Hoolahan is a shining example.. Everything he was good for at blackpool roeder and co seemed to deman less of it from him. Pass more dribble less... what? His dribbling crippled us everytime we played against him... seemed crazy and still doe's, And on the subject how many players have we brought at a young age or players with promise have improved.. There lee croft and.. oh thats it! An example of the flip side has to be shackell.. He came through looking like he could be a good prem defender, And towards the end looked like he was heading for kings lynn, i was stunned when wolves declared and interest! :s

        great is over used (NCFC) - Fozzybear, Mar 7, 12:08:58
        
        when i say great. i mean great for us. (n/m) (NCFC) - Alan, Mar 7, 12:13:00
        
        Point taken (NCFC) - Fozzybear, Mar 7, 12:22:00
        
        Huckerby was a 'great' player... (NCFC) - Ben, Mar 7, 12:02:48
        
        he excels everytime i see him "in the hole" behind a front two. (n/m) (NCFC) - Alan, Mar 7, 12:05:47
        
        that's one of his biggest problems (NCFC) - Ben, Mar 7, 12:11:19
        
        And huckerby wasn't? (n/m) (NCFC) - Alan, Mar 7, 12:13:33
        
        Hoolahan has more variety than Hux gave us latterly (tho not as much skill) but he needs (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Mar 7, 12:24:53
        
        couldn't have put it better myself (NCFC) - Ben, Mar 7, 12:27:32
        
        Not at all (NCFC) - Ben, Mar 7, 12:20:08
- With the players he brought in... (NCFC) - Alan, Mar 7, 11:11:51
  - The loss of Steph was crippling. Remember watching the Brum game and thinking f88k me this (NCFC) - Buckscanary, Mar 7, 11:16:22
    - Absolutely.. (NCFC) - Alan, Mar 7, 11:23:01
      - Couldn't disagree. Modern defenders hate players who can dribble. It is alien to them (NCFC) - Buckscanary, Mar 7, 11:29:07
        
        Exactly... (NCFC) - Alan, Mar 7, 11:33:08
        
        Roeder did at least bring in technically good players (n/m) (NCFC) - Buckscanary, Mar 7, 11:36:07
        
        would make a good director of football/ chief scout. never a manager. (n/m) (NCFC) - Alan, Mar 7, 11:47:06
        
        Indeed (n/m) (NCFC) - Buckscanary, Mar 7, 12:20:19
      - an interest* (n/m) (NCFC) - Alan, Mar 7, 11:23:56
- I wouldn't have expected anything else. What about you? (n/m) (NCFC) - Buckscanary, Mar 7, 11:01:04
