So was I, sort of.

I mean, not per se but I think he was due to be replaced by a younger player and I think we needed to reduce our reliance on him, but I just didn't see Hucks coping well with that role and if not, we did need to move on.

  - just shows what a dick roder is (n/m) (NCFC) - Muz, Jan 5, 12:52:39
  - What I mean is that from the looks of it the EDP's against him now (n/m) (NCFC) - DemoniCanary, Jan 5, 11:59:03
  - Because it riles up the fans a bit more? (NCFC) - duke of york, Jan 5, 11:58:32
    - Most of our points last season came when he wasn't in the team (NCFC) - pants, Jan 5, 12:16:46
      - he was injured for most of it...we're not exactly flying high without him (NCFC) - Brandonio, Jan 5, 12:23:47
        
        We weren't flying high when he was here last season either (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Jan 5, 12:26:32
        
        he was injured for most of it (n/m) (NCFC) - Brandonio, Jan 5, 12:27:22
        
        until the end when he came back strong (NCFC) - Charles21, Jan 5, 12:29:15
        
        Was our best player in the final few games when he'd got over his niggling injuries. (n/m) (NCFC) - HoofinHughes, Jan 5, 12:32:37
        
        he made little impact the last three seasons he was with us though (NCFC) - malkybarkid, Jan 5, 12:35:26
        
        Anyone who can fit four season into the last three seasons must be signed! (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 5, 12:38:20
        
        Easy - osmosis (n/m) (NCFC) - malkybarkid, Jan 5, 12:46:05
        
        Yet in the last 10 games we got 9 points? (NCFC) - pants, Jan 5, 12:35:09
        
        a bit shocking really...who would keep a manager with such an horrific record? (n/m) (NCFC) - Brandonio, Jan 5, 12:37:51
        
        big improvement then? (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, Jan 5, 12:36:58
        
        The same innit. Which is my point. I'm obviously a troll though (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Jan 5, 12:37:54
        
        I see (NCFC) - Charles21, Jan 5, 12:39:21
        
        The facts speak for themselves (NCFC) - pants, Jan 5, 12:42:08

        Who is the guy with the big bass drum ? (n/m) (NCFC) - Snakey, Jan 5, 13:17:31
        
        did you go on Saturday? (NCFC) - Charles21, Jan 5, 12:25:25
        
        Can't see myself going again (NCFC) - Brandonio, Jan 5, 12:29:03
        
        fair enough (NCFC) - Charles21, Jan 5, 12:36:19
        
        no (n/m) (NCFC) - Brandonio, Jan 5, 12:39:16
        
        oh (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, Jan 5, 12:41:03
      - To back that up do you have an analysis f average points per game when he (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 5, 12:23:30
        
        it's just based on the 1 game pants saw last season (n/m) (NCFC) - Brandonio, Jan 5, 12:31:13
      - wasn't he injured for much of the season? (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, Jan 5, 12:21:15
      - you're right (NCFC) - camcan, Jan 5, 12:20:36
        
        he made little impact the last three seasons he was with us though (NCFC) - malkybarkid, Jan 5, 12:31:25
        
        debatable if you can call that little impact really... (NCFC) - Brandonio, Jan 5, 12:37:17

        Chill out man (NCFC) - Charles21, Jan 5, 12:49:30
        
        Jeez it was just a question. (n/m) (NCFC) - Brandonio, Jan 5, 12:54:14
        
        ok, I got the whooosh wrong too (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, Jan 5, 12:59:19
        
        I'm pretty sure MBK was in support of Hucks leaving (n/m) (NCFC) - Brandonio, Jan 5, 12:40:17
        
        So was I, sort of. (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 5, 12:42:55
        
        as was i, sort of, eventually, after I'd blubbed a bit. (NCFC) - megson, Jan 5, 12:51:00
        
        statto (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 5, 12:32:36
        
        and that's 4 anyway (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 5, 12:33:08
        
        I know. (NCFC) - malkybarkid, Jan 5, 12:34:06
        
        but how does that compare with the other players (NCFC) - camcan, Jan 5, 12:37:06
        
        Of course they are. It's the rose-tinted remembrance that annoys me. For the last two (NCFC) - malkybarkid, Jan 5, 12:41:36
        
        I know (NCFC) - camcan, Jan 5, 12:46:23
        
        top 6 in the bottom half probably, but that would still be welcome (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 5, 12:36:02
        
        sarcasm is naughty (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, Jan 5, 12:22:19
        
        lol (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 5, 12:22:17
      - Those results came just after we'd appointed a new manager (NCFC) - duke of york, Jan 5, 12:19:02
        
        or we could end up appointing Phil Parkinson... (NCFC) - blindasabat, Jan 5, 12:22:28
        
        Which entirely proves my point (NCFC) - duke of york, Jan 5, 12:25:18
        
        I hesitate to say this (NCFC) - camcan, Jan 5, 12:34:17
        
        Not sure it works with a manager who is not in control of transfers (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 5, 12:36:34
        
        Wouldn't necessarily have to controle transfers, just deal with managers requests. (NCFC) - megson, Jan 5, 12:41:26
        
        working at Peterborough! (NCFC) - camcan, Jan 5, 12:38:04
        
        nothing to do with them being loaded then i guess (NCFC) - blindasabat, Jan 5, 12:42:53
        
        are they *that* loaded (NCFC) - camcan, Jan 5, 12:48:12
        
        i think by League One and League Two standards they've spent heavily (NCFC) - blindasabat, Jan 5, 13:11:45
        
        But I wonder how the manager feels about that > (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 5, 12:39:51
        
        Great I suspect (NCFC) - duke of york, Jan 5, 12:49:50
        
        I'm basing all this on an interview with Fry on the radio at the w/e (NCFC) - camcan, Jan 5, 12:53:18
    - Is it honestly another nail in his coffin though? I doubt it. (n/m) (NCFC) - malkybarkid, Jan 5, 11:59:30
      - i don't see it as a slight on Roeder (NCFC) - south, Jan 5, 12:12:38
        
        i think he's given a bit more detail on why he's not training at Colney (n/m) (NCFC) - blindasabat, Jan 5, 12:16:27
      - Well, it doesn't help (NCFC) - duke of york, Jan 5, 12:00:48
  - It might be a hobnail in a chimbley sweep's boot. (NCFC) - malkybarkid, Jan 5, 11:56:52
- It's a year on since I sat at Bramall Lane, watching Huckerby not track back (NCFC) - pants, Jan 5, 11:52:38
- Not really, just rehashing the same old story again. (NCFC) - malkybarkid, Jan 5, 11:52:01
  - Just the timing of it being put out... (NCFC) - DemoniCanary, Jan 5, 11:58:05
