Watch how often the ball is played to him...

... and he stops it dead, thus needing to start his run/dribble from a standing start with the ball between his feet.

Slows the play down, giving the defence time to surround him / get in his way etc.

Redmond - I think its 2 goals in 57 appearances for us now. How is a player with such (NCFC) - megson, Jan 12, 12:52:15

- He's not particularly good at football. Like a 'shit' Theo Walcott (NCFC) - MIKEWALKER, Jan 12, 13:03:03

      - The only thing more annoying is... (NCFC) - Dog, Jan 12, 13:40:06
    - Exactly what I mean. Hucks would just tear into them. (NCFC) - avenging canary, Jan 12, 13:07:45
      - That's the type of thing Hughton would have curbed in his play (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 12, 13:29:16
- allegedy he's created more chances per minute on the pitch than any other Champ player (NCFC) - mr carra, Jan 12, 12:57:33
  - It will be interesting how Alex Neil gets him playing (n/m) (NCFC) - Brandonio, Jan 12, 12:58:03
    - Yeah, I'm really hoping he's going to encourage Redmond to hit the space more and get in (NCFC) - megson, Jan 12, 13:03:35
      - also needs our midfield playing more balls in behind and not to his feet all the time (NCFC) - mr carra, Jan 12, 13:09:44
- "he's got twice the ability of Hucks" huh? (NCFC) - Brandonio, Jan 12, 12:56:13
  - He can't beat a man either (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 12, 13:34:32
  - Fair, he looks to have more techincal ability though, better control over the ball. (n/m) (NCFC) - megson, Jan 12, 13:01:38
    - Hucks was the fastest player with the ball at his feet (NCFC) - duke of york, Jan 12, 13:18:19
      - Eadie was pretty quick (n/m) (NCFC) - Dave in France, Jan 12, 13:24:54
        
        wasn't Eadie more of a 'kick the ball past the defender and run' winger, like Ruel? (NCFC) - mr carra, Jan 12, 13:33:31
        
        Yes, I'd say so (n/m) (NCFC) - duke of york, Jan 12, 13:36:06
  - Hucks was great when he had to do something instinctive (NCFC) - mr carra, Jan 12, 12:58:38
    - lol (n/m) (NCFC) - Jumbo1, Jan 12, 13:00:24
- Was shocking at Bournemouth (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 12, 12:53:06
  - He's a very good player and people should get off his back. Of course thats (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 12, 12:56:50
    - Steady on, not meant as an attack just something i've been musing. (NCFC) - megson, Jan 12, 13:02:49
      - Hucks way better (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 12, 13:33:57
