Yep he was originally touted as a similar striker to a young Harry Kane, he needs developing and then hopefully rejoining us in the summer where he could bro a useful 3rd choice option for 6 months then go on loan to a championship or PL team.Hugill did everything right in that goal, what a goal it was! He peels off early to open up space, jinks the defender so he can run in behind, his first touch is perfect, then he squares up to the near post and shapes like he's going far post, sells the keeper and rolls it in. Amazing goal. I hope he tears it up on loan because I think we could have used him now in the first team. Hopefully this loan lets him get stronger against better opposition and preps him for rejoining the first team in the summer.
Well no if we're honest. I know some players are late developers but when was the last time a 21 year old was playing for a club like Burton and ended up being a striker at a top top team. Very rare unfortunately.Can this kid realistically offer us an option in the future so we don't have to buy someone like Zirkzee for 50m?
Situation wise, Harry Kane couldn't get a game for Norwich at 20 years old & scored 2 in 13 for Leicester at the same age.Well no if we're honest.

Great composure. Didn't over think his finish , which can happen when you've got the time he had.
Top clubs will be looking at Ivan Toney, at 21 he was on loan at Scunthorpe and Wigan, Ollie Watkins at 21 was league 2 with Exeter. The Harry Kane situation at a similar age has already been mentioned. I don't know enough about the lads ability to judge him, but I wouldn't be using his age against him.Well no if we're honest.

It actually seems to happen a lot with strikers. Kane, Vardy, Drogba, Ian Wright, Luca Toni, Immobile were all playing at a pretty low level in their early 20s.Well no if we're honest.

Well he's a young Manchester United player on his first loan at Burton. It's not quite the same as some random Burton player rising up through the ranks.Well no if we're honest.

Fair points, I mean i'd absolutely love nothing more than to find our own Harry Kane !Well he's a young Manchester United player on his first loan at Burton. It's not quite the same as some random Burton player rising up through the ranks.
But quite often it takes goalscorers time. Our best two goal getting strikers over the last 30 years are probably Cole and RVN. Look at their early careers.
I disagree, I don’t see anything in him that suggests he can make it here .Correct me if I'm wrong but when I've watched him play for the seniors in preseason he strikes me as someone with great anticipation and movement but is a poor finisher who perhaps lack that bit of composure. He'd be a decent option for us if he improves that as his overall game is pretty sound.
I checked their forum and all it says that he was isolated on his own up top . The forward that came on for him also in on loan I believe lasted 4 mins and went off through injury .Taken off at HT and doesn't appear to have had a good good according to the ratings. Anyone know any more?
Thanks, I assumed that might have been the case.I checked their forum and all it says that he was isolated on his own up top . The forward that came on for him also in on loan I believe lasted 4 mins and went off through injury .
