Always huff n puff from Hughes, and seems to be genuinely liked in the squad, but not enough from him on a regular basis, and his fitness for a pro is below that of a local Sunday league player!!

I don't mind Hughes, seems like a character and was decent on the wing last year.

But Mick could play a lot and Cook could play a bit!

Liam Hughes is not a bad footballer and appears to have a football brain,can pass a decent ball too,think he is one of the players getting made a scapegoat of Paul Cox regime

Different opinions are what makes football interesting.

Does anyone actually agree that Liam Hughes is a winger? Not saying he's a bad player, but he doesn't fly down the wing to the byline and get crosses in, ie what a winger does, Not sure what his best position is.

Doubt Hughes being absent is anything to do with his footballing ability or weight.

Easy to make him a scapegoat when he's been mostly dreadful since last September. I remember running out of patience with him last season at Guiseley away, saying he'd done nowt since the start of the season - and he's done very little since.
There are always going to be scapegoats, while fans' favourites are free of criticism, but watch Hughes for the whole time he's on the field - there is no tracking back or desire to chase down a man, rarely spreads the play, and generally jogs about in the same manner that Mellor did a year earlier. He'll have to put in some incredible performances if he's to get a lot of people back onside.

Strange how Hughes was everyone's punchbag a month ago...now (apparently) he's being made a scapegoat!
We didn't underestimate them, we just didn't think they were that good.

Get off his back. He's one player in our squad. Yes he's not a winger....cox never said he was. He used his height and strength out wide to gain throw ins an headers infield against small fullbacks. Percentage tactic which worked.
Those that have a personal problem with him talk to him at the ground.......Face to face.
