Doing some reading up on him, highly rated at Wolves, just in need of actual game time, so this could be a great opportunity for both him and the club. By fan reports and news articles, he’s strong in the tackle even though he’s small in stature, is quick over short distances, has great endurance and is very tidy on the ball. Sounds like he’s exactly what we need. Sounds like Roberto Carlos!  And the other signing is VVD reincarnated by the sounds/looks of it |

Can he tell the difference between a teammate's shirt and an opposition player when passing the ball?

If that is the case sounds like a good signing. With system we play there are 3 first team central midfield positions to compete for. There's three CM positions, but Hogg ain't gonna be playing in either of the two more advanced roles, and Hodge's supposed main position is the deep lying one. They're only playing in the same team if Hodge plays more advanced than usual. Edit - I didn't initially realise Hodge was more a DCM. |

Massive fan of Hogg,, the guys a genuine club legend.
That said he is way short of the player he once was now.
Only saw the second half at Walsall, and whilst he wasnt our worst player, he was really poor both with and without the ball.
If Hodge is anything like the player wolves think he is then its got to be time for Hogg to finally stop being the automatic starter hes always been.
Think he still has a role as a bit part player and his experience and the example he sets is well worth having, but it's really time we replace him in the first XI if we can. Hopefully Hodge is the signing to do that.

Hogg ain't been that great in any of the games this season if we're being honest. He was okay when he came on against Morecambe, but has generally looked a shadow of himself. Absolutely  the bloke and he's obviously still incredibly fit, but the games are passing him by. |
