I was never a fan, but the loan out confuses me considering our squad
Do we have someone coming in?

Scott High is on his way back by all accounts.
Not many positive comments coming off the twitter thread.

I never saw anything in him and was staggered to understand the set up rate him so highly - those comments from Rotherham fans indicate he’s still not up to the standards of the championship.

But VLP- leigh bromby said High will not just be a town regular, but a Town captain in the waiting. To be fair Bromby seems to have some strange htoughts on some players, he reckons Schofield will be our number 1 for many years to come also. LET it go Bromby your favs simply are not upto it .
It will be intersting to see what MF makes of High, to be fair to High cc' seemed to like him, maybe MF will like him because he does work hard.

Don’t think Rotherham was a particularly good fit for him, would’ve been better with a league one team that play passing football rather than pragmatic, niggly hoof merchants.
There’s definitely a player in there but he seems physically weak and doesn’t impose himself on a game at senior level yet. Would imagine he’ll be used as a squad player as we’re thin in the middle of the park now.

‘Fans have been telling us we need to add creativity to our midfield and Scott High returning will do just that. It really is like securing a top quality signing with the added benefit of him knowing the club like the back of his hand’.
MF, sometime next week.

That Swansea cameo still haunts me.
I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, but the odds are stacked against him; we have moved on and despite the league position, I think we have better options. I’d go with Holmes, Diarra, Camara and/or Rudoni ahead of him every time. If we need that type of player, then I think we’re in more trouble if we’re relying on High to be the solution.

High it seems started at Town as a more attacking midfielder, then was moved back once he hit the under 19's . The times i have sen real postives from High is when he is in their half not ours. I hope if MF is going to use him, he puts him higher up the pitch.

The more options the better. We need as many fit players as possible. Won’t judge the lad by the Rotherham comments given their tendency to loft the ball up at any opportunity, won’t suit him at all.

But it’s not as if we play possession based, fluid football through the thirds, is it? We don’t always go route one. But by Christ we do it a lot. And to the wings. If he doesn’t fit at Rotherham because of their style and not his ability, what makes us think that he will work here? We have more options now than when we moved him on. And even now we’re short. That says quite a lot to me. And let’s not forget, that was Corberans decision.

The only time they keep it on the deck is passing it backwards from a kick off lol

We may have more possession than Rotherham, but my point is, if we’re saying SH needs a team that keeps the ball down and plays through the thirds, that’s not us either, is it. Nor do I think he gives us option to do that anymore than what we have right now.

We are definitely not a long ball team. When we get the chance, we always try and play the ball to feet.

We maybe do that in our own third/middle, but all I see is the same out ball and pattern of play: we look direct for Rhodes/Ward, or we play it wide and sling in a cross. I have rarely seen us create anything through the middle because of a deliberate passage of play. Which is where SH would be, no? I don’t think we’re solely a long ball team, but I think we’re far from team that keeps possession and plays through the thirds, as I said.

We will have to agree to disagree, though by your own comments you agree we pass the ball in our own third and in the middle but not at the top end of the pitch, which pretty much sums up any football team. I want to see passing at the back and in the middle, I don’t want to see passing at the top end, I want to see the ball out wide being crossed or having a go. So you may not notice but you actually agree with me 😀 Yes, we can be direct at certain times, generally forced, but ive no issue with mixing it up. The initial point being, our game would suit High better than Rotherham’s game, should he be called upon.

Whatever the plan was for Scott High, bringing him back makes perfect sense.
I'd do the same with REG at Wigan.
Whether either or both are likely to be able to make an impact here this season is debatable but if they're not getting much from the loans they're at, then either send them somewhere else or keep them here to compete for a first team place.
Complete waste of time keeping them where they are.
FWIW I would suggest High has more chance of getting into our first team this season than REG does.

Another point about High - Him, Camara and Diarra should all be very familiar with how each other plays

Rotherham fans reading this thread must be fearing the thought of coming up against Huddersfield Brazil FC
They must be scratching their heads quizzically as to why a total football side like Huddersfield are below a side operating non league long ball tactics
There is some shite written on here at times. The simple fact is that High hasn't looked any good for us nor Rotherham.

Having seen nearly all of the games he played last season, I struggle to see why he's so rated by our coaching staff. Thats not saying they don't know their stuff, just what I've observed from his performances. Doesn't look anywhere near on a par to Diarra, Camara, Jones and Jackson. Maybe a late bloomer who just needs extended time on the pitch?

The simple fact is that High hasn't looked any good for us nor Rotherham. Having watched Preston pump it into the final third looking to pickup second balls off our defenders I can understand, if Rotherham play that way, why Scott High would not fit in. The best I saw him was play when he came on second half against Tranmere pre-season. Played high up the pitch and controlled midfield. I think he plays well in a passing game, as we played last 20 minutes against Preston. Don't write him off.

Never been a High fan before but have a weird feeling he will come back and do an "O'Brien". Think he will fit perfectly into a Fotheringham side (whatever that is).

Scott High situation is strange, Leigh Bromby said at a fans forum in September that he would be a captain of Town one day. So what is the truth?

On RL on the way home it appears Roherham have sent him back, which they cannot do under the contract terms, and Town have not recalled him. So he doesn't know where he is, probably not back at Rotherham though.
