Mendi Posted 3 January 2018 Share Posted 3 January 2018 Robert Huth is he out of favour ? He is in last year of deal to. Hearing Middlesbrough are in talks with him over a move back to Riverside Stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxxed Posted 3 January 2018 Share Posted 3 January 2018 So he's no longer injured and needs match fitness? If that's so he'll be in the team against Fleetwood surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayfox Posted 3 January 2018 Share Posted 3 January 2018 Him and Silva could both play tomorrow v spuds in under 23s. With morgan out his return could be timely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vardinio'sCat Posted 3 January 2018 Share Posted 3 January 2018 (edited) Don't write off the Huth, so many made the same error with Wes. He isn't that old for a CB, and as long as he gets his fitness back, could still do a good job. Having said that Drago hasn't done much wrong in the games I've seen him in, which is reassuring.

Ric Flair Posted 3 January 2018 Share Posted 3 January 2018 I think Huth will take Morgan’s place in the team very quickly. Dragovic will be livid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgfualol Posted 3 January 2018 Share Posted 3 January 2018 Depends on how the injury has affected him. Puel might not bother playing him as he is out of contract in the Summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovejoy Posted 3 January 2018 Share Posted 3 January 2018 It's a tough call, at some point we have to move on. Huth may well come in to the side as soon as he's fit, but I doubt he'll have his contract renewed at the end of the season. I know we have a stronger emotional attachment to players who've been here a few years and won the title, but we can't keep going back to the aging players, we have to have move on when the time is right.

Monsell1976 Posted 3 January 2018 Share Posted 3 January 2018 Would rather stick with draga and give him a chance. Huth is going to have to be brought in slowly, because of lack of match fitness and serious injury 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shen Posted 3 January 2018 Share Posted 3 January 2018 Surely starting Dragovic is safer and could help him build a rhythm having played in the last two games. Starting Huth in the next game would not benefit either in the long term, I think. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koke Posted 3 January 2018 Share Posted 3 January 2018 We when we are winning 1-0 or 2-1 with 5 minutes to go and the opposition are launching the ball into the box i would bring on Huth. He could still be a useful squad member here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WigstonWanderer Posted 3 January 2018 Share Posted 3 January 2018 If he’s fit I’d like to see him and Dragovic start in the Fleetwood match. One big solid defender but who’s not so comfortable on the ball, and another who’s a better ball player but smaller and perhaps less solid. Would also give Harry a rest while bringing Huth back up to speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colourmy Posted 3 January 2018 Share Posted 3 January 2018 (edited) I cant imagine Huth being part of any plans other than the odd cameo or cup run. If he still has aspirations of playing football, then he'll move on in the summer. I suspect he will be part of some coaching set up myself though and move on to the next chapter of his life.

shen Posted 3 January 2018 Share Posted 3 January 2018 Huth is probably our worst defender on the ball, which will not suit this new style. Morgan, despite looking odd doing so, is quite OK with the ball at his feet so I don't see Huth displacing anyone in the current backline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't. The timeout will have affected many areas of his body and mind that a 33-year-old body will struggle to get back at this level. Huth's game was less than legal at the best of times, he would be bordering on prison time without age on his side!

True, but he's not displacing Morgan, who generally has been solid and Maguire who is arguably our key man defensively. Dragovic, while we haven't seen much of him, has already displayed that he's comfortable with the ball at his feet which will suit us more than hoofs over the line.
