Honeyman to Hull?

[SuperGerryHarrison]

I think people who have watched him regularly can tell he doesn't bring much to the table, I've watched him regularly home and away and I couldn't believe the blind faith Ross showed in him, funnily enough the people who sit near us thought the same, it seems the majority think the same, amazing that I and others (the majority) truly don't understand the game isn't it?

Ok, so you watch him play, alongside thousands of others, but what is it specifically about his play that you feel brings nothing to the table?

The bid is £400,000 apparently. The club must want rid, how many teams even league 2 would sell their club captain in his mid twenties, having played a major part of the previous season, for such a paltry sum?

most of them would sell the entire team for 400k ffs..

I thought Honeyman had a poor season last year - did you think he was good?

No just pointing out his goals and the fact I left the board to watch the widower come back and the same posters going round in circles.For what its worth the hatred towards him is undeserved ,time to go yes but no need to put the boot in to one of our own .

Of course you do mate. At all levels you ask who fancies it first. A lot of it is about confidence. You would never press gang a player into taking one unless you’re at stalemate at five penalties.

Nonsense man. If you’re shite at pens, you don’t offer to take one. It cannot be any simpler. Wearing the armband doesn’t change that.

 

[Julio]

Were you in the huddle when all this was decided? If not then you’re guessing.

I’m going to say that we put Cattermole forward because he buried 50 penalties consecutively in training whilst Honeyman kept missing.

Equally as accurate as your statement.

I am going off a lad on here who gets plenty info right that he knows for a fact Honeyman refused one. Of course he might be wrong but if he is right that does not sit well with me with him being our leader on the pitch. Him doing that means we ended up sending up Cattermole who has never taken a pen in his career

Blaming him for not taking a penalty is ridiculous mind.

Just part and parcel to show how he went missing alot and won't be missed.

For me:-
Passing isn't great
Rarely beats a man
Rarely creates anything
Isn't blessed with pace.
Not that good in the tackle.

He does run around a lot though and gets the odd goal

 

[Doberman]

Are you comparing the goal keeper to a player who has been through a full academy, technically sound and played in advanced positions all his footballing life ?

He should have took one. Was asked and said no. No bottle.

Glad he is going. He was a main reason we didn't go up last year. Making him captain meant be started to many games.

Ineffective. Don't care if he is a nice lad and cried on Netflix. Footballing ability was very poor when the going got tough.

The main reason we didn’t go up? Wow.

 

[Mackem00]

Not it isn't. Does it highlight how Catts stepped up and failed again then?

He scored last kick of the game against someone (can't remember who) in a crunch away match in the latter part of the season. Scenes were mental. Was that where he went missing?

I agree and I think I've been guilty of it in the past

Well Walsall sold us theirs for less, Coventry lost theirs for nowt. £400,000 is fair money for an average League One player with a year left.

 

[Deleted User 18963]

The main reason we didn’t go up? Wow.

Yep. Played number 10 the majority of the season. 3 assists.

And you wonder why Grigg and wyke for fuck all service ?

Wow.

 

[Pompey501855]

I did think he was your best player in the first half of the checkatrade . Surprised to hear so many of your lot slagging him off . But does look like you have an abundance of quality midfielders

 

[deleted user 785]

The main reason we didn’t go up? Wow.

I think persisting with him was one of a few reasons.

He was a passenger in many games last season, he constantly made schoolboy errors and poor decisions, he ran around a lot(in parts) but lacked any quality.

Trust me, I truly understand football.

 

[Deleted User 18963]

Not it isn't. Does it highlight how Catts stepped up and failed again then?

Nope. He was a genuine leader and stepped up. Was a decent strike and save.

Anyway. Know who I would have in my midfield. Cattermole or honeyman. Think anyone who has every played football would say Cattermole.

 

[Julio]

Him playing that number 10 role was a huge reason we never went up. He made 3 goals playing there ffs. Thats a disgrace considering the standard. But he ran about alot so its fine

 

[Mackem00]

I wish Catts had bottled it but I can't complain about anyone who chooses to step up. I was always first on the list mind.

 

[Doberman]

Wow.

I suppose we should sell McGeady too because the service to Grigg was shite or is that nowt to do with our wingers?

Bet you were bowing down to Oviedo the other day and wishing him the best.
