Colin Hawkins - Not good enough

[Brighton Breezy]

Maybe its trying to justify his wages, who knows?

I think you have hit the nail on the head.

 

[Simster]

Absolutely. I find it quite incredible that a man can have a HERNIA operation and be back in the team within a week. It's not rocket science to realise that anyone needs time to recover from that sort of injury, and it's no wonder he is playing poorly.

Wake up, Thicky Adams. It's f***ing OBVIOUS!

Hinsh is the best centre back I have seen play for the club, QUOTE]

You obviously havent been watching BHA very long then, in recent times he is not as good as, Morgan, Cullip, Butters ven when he was at his best prior to his spate of injuries. I wont bother to go back further to the likes of Graham Cross, Norman Gall etc. In fact I would go as far as to say it is debatable as to whether he is as good or better than Adam Virgo at centre back.

I am in my 21st season watching the team. I forgot about Morgan, maybe he would pip Hinshlewood despite being 75 and not being able to walk after games. He was class.

Cullip, I loved his attitude and commitment, but maybe questions some of his defending. I still think A fit HInshlewood was better than a fit Cullip. Butters brought so much to the team other than defending, but still a great player at that. Sadly I dont think we will see the best of Hinsh again.

Went completely missing for the first goal. Stupidly bundled a bloke over to concede the penalty...his second of the season. Get rid of the lumbering oaf please Micky.

Lynch has gone - get over it.

 

[Silent Bob]

he had a few good games, not outstanding as everyone says they were against poor oppo, since then injury or not he has been a liability. My thinking is he was playing above himself for a few games, but is now playing how he has done at the other clubs he was at, basically not good enough to deserve a starting place. Would put him on the bench as he is alright cover, its not going to be pretty him against Beckford

I agree that he wasn't "outstanding" in the opening games. He was merely decent, and even then he did make a couple of mistakes. He's cost as as many goals so far this season as Elphick did in the entirety of last season. I know the injury isn't helping him but I think the sad truth is he's not very good.

 

[seagullsss]

Definetly Ive Thought This All Season Hes A Complete Liability.

His Positioning Is Awful To Be Honest Butters Last Season With Us Was Better

 

[Uncle Buck]

He is not fit and the fact he is not fit shows up him limitations.

If Lynch had not spat his dummy we would have a right / left combination at centre back and I suspect Richards would not have been as exposed defensively.

why do you have to be a wanker about it? if you don't rate him just say that.

I said it - but i backed it up with evidence. What's wrong with that?

Ahh, you see...you can't do that 'cause that means you're having an opinin on something and Ian Hart will call you a window licker!

 

[Djmiles]

I have been unimpressed with this season, along with Whing.

 

[HseagullsH]

What annoys me is everyone says "don't blame Hawkins, he's injured"

Yes he has recently had surgery but if he is starting games he is fit enough to play. It is just blatantly obvious that he isn't good enough.

It seems he had a few decent games and everyone suddenly thinks he's solid as a rock.

 

[trueblue]

I was watching him really closely last night because so many people have knocked him on here, and it was weird. Alhough he's copped the flak for the goals, he was MUCH more involved than Elphick overall.. winning loads of headers and generally leading the back line.

It would be very wrong to write him off I think..

People are cutting him slack because he is injured. I dont blame him. He has cost us goals, but is down to the manager for justifying his selection, and that is where the blame lies. Especially when it is so RUDDY obvious

 

[Stumpy Tim]

I think you're missing the point with Hawkins. It's clearly in Virgo's contract that Adam must play in every single league game, and he cannot play in defence. That's obvious.

Either that or Adams is a THICKY

 

[Kneon Light]

Was fantastic early season and was great at Yeovil.
Whetjer due to his injury or not he has been poor recently and should be dropped but that does not make him a bad player or a waste of wages.

So, he had a few decent games when he was fit, but this counts for nothing? He's now playing whilst injured, as we don'thave much cover and those performances count for nothing?

Seems some people like to attack any player Adam's has brought in for the sake of it. Very harsh.

 

[bhaexpress]

Why must people be so nasty with their criticism, and to use a clap as thought it's something to be celebrated? He was brilliant for us at he beginning of the season (right up until his op, which means 3 games he hasn't been that good) it's not a case of getting rid of him it's a case of resting him.

Look who posted, it's good old WW who's initials really stand for 'Whata Wanker'
