Come on you used to be on the edge of your seat when someone knocked the ball wide for Rivers to charge at.  OK him and Hucks were not even in the same league, but he did used to get us excited and that is the point.  I will miss Huckerby as much as the next man but someone else will come along who excites us again.  And that is the point. As for being a 'dont mention the H word mob', more like a no point crying over what cant be changed mob.

Yes I remember it well.  One charge down the wing then he was too knackered to even take a pass for the next 10 minutes.  Certainly a player who couldnt be described as an athlete!!    Report

For those who disagree with the OP.  You need to ask yourselves when did we see Hucks's "apparent" drop in form?  Did it coincide with anything else?  Was he getting less game time?  Was he also carrying an injury? In amongst that, you will find the answer. Memories . . . like the corners of my mind Misty, water-coloured, memories Of the way we were    Report

I think now, Siberski should be selected as a midfielder and we should just play with lupoli and cureton/koroma/lita up front , too many long balls were aimed at sibs and everyone can tell he's not a target man, we played some of our best football this season before Antoine arrived and the first 45 minutes against Derby was pretty peter grant esque because it was route one all the way. It is always good for a side to have a plan B but you have to develop one with players that play consistantly , Roeder was getting it right at the start of the season and I just hope he doesnt revert to kick and chase football.

Are you insane, Valderamma?  You think playing in the California summer is preferable to England in the winter?  Why do you think the English leagues take summer off?  Anyone would be much stronger playing in cooler temps than heat and humidity.  The fact that Huckerby has adapted to the MLS game so quickly is just one more sign that he is far from finished.  He is doing great DESPITE the climate, not because of it. 2 men say they're Jesus, one of them MUST be wrong    Report

Are you serious Houston!!  Are you honestly saying you would rather play on a cold tuesday night in mid february than on a glorious sunny sunday in California   Answer me this have you ever suffered a serious inujury, by that I mean serious broken bones.  I have, and when the weather is cold and damp it bloody hurts.  My post had nothing to do with whether or not he could run 10 miles, or whether he could still do the 100m in 11 seconds.  The climate thing is about recovery time. With regards to why we have the summer off.  Rugby and Football can be played regardless of weather conditions, this is why they are winter sports.  Cricket, athletics and tennis can only be played when it is dry, cricket can only be played in good light, this is why they are summer sports.  So that is the reason why the football season stops for the summer. And Smudger.  I am a legend on Football Manager 2008 so my running a football club skills cannot be called into question.  In all seriousness, as neither of us have ever run a football professionally your comment was pointless.  I hope my response has justified your reason for posting the comment in the first place.    Report

Until our team starts to improve you cannot deny we're missing Huckerby. Our side is lacking an incisivness and creativity that Darren brought to the pitch, he would have been perfect foil to Leroy Lita IMO and they would have formed arguably the best strike force in this league. It's very frustrating because IMO we could have had an outstanding team this season had we kept hold of Hucks and scrapped one or two loanees. GK - Marshall RB - Semmy CB - Stefanovic CB - Kennedy LB - Drury RM - Bell CM - Russell CM - Clingan LM Hoolahan ST - Huckerby ST - Lita   Thats a side that would easily make the playoffs and due to some poor decision making from Roeder we've been denyed that.    Report

Valderamma. The original post had nothing to do with injury recovery.  Even so, I'm pretty sure a broken leg (and how often does that happen anyways?) hurts no matter what the temperature. Of COURSE I'd rather play on a cold Tuesday night in Feb at Carrow Road than a hot sweaty Saturday August afternoon in San Jose.  When the game is over, player don't need to heat up, they need to COOL DOWN.  D'errr   Are you not aware of why hot weather is a concern during events like Summer Olympics?  Marathons don't start at noon, they start (and finish) early in the morning when it has not yet heated up.  Outdoor endurance sports like soccer have their seasons in temperate weather, not hot, whenever possible.  Just admit you're wrong and go fix your hair. 2 men say they're Jesus, one of them MUST be wrong    Report

That was a tongue in cheek comment aimed at Smudgy.  And I reckon I have a decent grasp of football, it may differ from yours but that is the beauty of the game isnt it... Houston, lets just agree to disagree.  I would prefer California, you would prefer England.  (Fancy swapping houses, tidy little 3 bed bungalow if you fancy it?)
