Nah.....can't understand the hate for Hoppa.
I'll help you.

The whole team has busted there gut throughout the whole season and most are playing through injuries.
ITS THE FINALS
Hopoate leaves his team and doesn't go to war with them.
Morris gets injured playing in Hopoates positions yet still finds enough heart to run after Mansour and played on until his leg just wouldn't go any longer.

Is that reasonable though?

He told the club up front what the terms were.
The club agreed.
A deal is a deal.
Was it a good idea vis a vis team psyche? Not sure but that's on the coach and club.

Don't even get me started on th club but Hopoate decided he want to be a priest instead of a player

Holland should kiss Mbyes boots after every game because they are the only reason he is in the side.

Hasler just tries his hardest to make the team score as few points as possible.

Bmoz at fullback is the one player who can worry teams in our squad and Montoya has been great on the wing and under the high ball.

The blind faith for guys like Eastwood and Hoppa is sickening. Hoppa is solid and never let's anyone down but be rarely does anything to scare the opposition either.

I know right. Logically Hopoate at fullback is a good choice. Unfortunate it was at the expense of Montoya. I feel Holland needs to make way for him.

Hoppa deserves his spot he was brillant tonight. Holland there for his kicking since we have no other option. Montoya will get another chance soon. Problems like these are healthy for the club.

That's what happens when your place in the 1st team is under threat. Everyone should always be on notice. No more vacation shit

He was great at the start.of the year too. People.just don't remember because we lost.

In any case to play a game.like that after all that time out was unreal. I would be happy to sign him as FB if he would play Sundays.

Holland isn't kicking that great.

Elliott is a goal kicker.

Drop Holland (who gets friggin dominated in every tackle), and promote Montoya and we have the shaping of a bloody good side.

Those two attempts against Newcastle says otherwise

Well Mbye then.

We can't afford to have Holland in the side "just because he kicks", when the reality is that he's not even up to par on that at the moment.

SURELY some other player in our squad has kicked before and can train up.
