But I have always thought one of the reasons Hucks did so well here was Leon McKenzie, simply for the fact that Leon was excellent at bringing him into the game.
Most of the time, if Leon came short to receive a ball, he'd be looking for a short angled ball (Often first-time, prompting calls of "s**te first touch") in behind the right back to set Hucks away.
We don't have that atm, and Hucks is having to start from much deeper. Hence the fullbacks find it easier to cover him.
