The impression I've got from Coventry and today is that he's been trying too hard to impact the game, and it's to his detriment. Both games he's made a few really silly fouls when trying to get stuck in. Then his totally pointless pressing today. Running about a lot but to no effect, because nobody was doing it with him.

He gave away one of the most stupid fouls I've ever seen today. Their player loses the ball, and rather than just taking the ball and running with it, High pushes him in the back and gave a foul away. What the fuck?

The problem is we have Kamara, who was one of our brighter players, got his foot on the ball and tried to play forwards, seemingly exiled. We then parachute Scott High into midfield following an unsuccessful loan spell. If we were comfortably midtable then there's low level grumbling, we're deep in a relegation battle, every change we make has to have a positive impact and I'm afraid Scott High doesn't. Far from the only one today though, his midfield partner in particular.

i’m no fan but i’m sure he ran further than anyone else while on the pitch, it’s no lack of effort He probably trains very well and that obviously impresses someone. |

It's the Huddersfield Town way Go out on loan, fail, welcome straight back in to the match day squad. At the same time there are lads who have done ok for us this season that now have to sit in the stands and watch these players perform far worse than they did Absolutely this. Stinks of Bromby does this approach. |

Being able to run further than your team mates isn't a good enough reason to get picked when the rest of your game is rubbish. There are definitely similarities between Holland and High. Neither affects the game in any way. Just passengers in midfield. |

Wasn't he seen as being 'the new Gazza' during his early time at Newcastle?? |

Didn't he get a serious eye injury ? Yes, hence one bloke singing "he's only got one eye" whenever he touched the ball in the Kilner Bank about ten rows above us. |

Id like him to be great. Id like to see a definite positive for him being in the team.
Honest to god, I would.
Hogg, camara, kasumu for me.
And Hogg, because if we play camara we can play through him and just let Johnny do what he is best at, and its not being the midfield pivot or whatever they call it now?

High and Hogg stunk the place out today and we've got talent like Camara not even getting in the squad? What the fuck is going on??? Camara is highly talented, was disappointed to see him signing autographs & posing for selfies, in the car park today. |

I’m a fan of Scott High, but today he pretty much never got involved. To me it looks like his confidence is shot to shit. Still only a young kid. Probably needs a stint in league 1 Hogg was absolutely terrible today and not for the first time this season. He also had a few nightmares last season. He just slows down our play so much Hogg and High in central midfield definitely doesn’t work 21 nearly 22 is not a young kid He will never make it at this level IMO At that age Chuba Akpom played 10 championship games without scoring……..He’s now 27 and doing pretty well. At 22 Aaron Mooy was playing in the Australian A league, having made just 8 matches for St. Mirren the previous season. At 27 he was playing in the Premier League for Town after a pretty decent season the year before. But yeah let’s just write 21 nearly 22 years old Scott High off shall we. |

On the filp side, how many 21/22 year olds have gone the other way? |

I had a sinking feeling in my stomach when I heard that High had been selected - just can't see what anyone sees in him. And Hogg was awful today -
and not sure about the Goalkeeper.

I do actually think the kid has potential. He isn't atrocious by any means but right now he is ineffective. We need better.

Goalkeeper arrived a few days ago and hasn't played any games since last September. Has had an injury hit season so it will take a while to bed in and get his fitness and confidence back. |

I just don’t understand what Camara has done ? Literally disappeared. Likewise for Jackson.
High couldn’t get a game at Rotherham.
Just more bizarre decisions made by an appalling manager.

I don’t think he’s a bad footballer. I just don’t know what he brings to our team; it’s not breaking up play but it’s not tempo control or chances. What is his role?

I think it all comes down to the fact we have Camara who has performed better. And also he couldn't get a sniff at Rotherham. He has at a guess played around 30 games for us. I would say in them 30, 25 of them you wouldn't have known he was playing. Granted most are cameos during the lockdown season, but in the short times he got, he still made errors. He has just come back at the wrong time and the expectation is huge due to performances from the other young lads. From what we have seen, he is far far off 1st team standard. Can that change? Of course it can. |

Seemed to run about in a very confined central area yesterday. Was where we had enough and not where we didnt on many occasions.? But thats an issue most weeks.. Still go Hogg, holding only, camara playing the ball and Kasumu getting about supporting forward and backwards play. |
