What's going on with Will Hughes? Why hasn't he featured in any of our games yet, even if only as a sub? I'd like to see how he fits into our team and hope PV will give him a chance before too long.

He's the Macca replacement but with the way Macca is playing he's not getting a look in... recon he might get some time now we've got a run against some lower teams... hope so, good ball player.
Watching every game live on TV doesn't come close to the real thing..... COYP |

I read somewhere he had a minor back injury and that's why he wasn't in the squad for the City game.

I watched a video of a training 5 aside game. It's on the Palace website. He looked well off the pace, losing the ball, slow, taking two touches when others were pinging it around first time. So either he isn't fit, has an injury, or just hasn't yet adapted to our new style. He looked distinctly uncomfortable.
For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally. |

As others have said Jimmy Mac has been superb and can't be replaced at the moment... However I do find it weird Hughes hasn't played a single minute because the lad can really play football...
Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!! |

Square peg, round hole is how it appeared to me.
Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled. |

Agree, I just assumed that whilst Macca and Connor were playing so well he would have been used in the last 10 mins of games to give 1 of them a bit of a rest

Hughes will get his chance as the season progresses. Jimmy Mac and Connor will pick up bookings, there will be injuries at some stage. He needs to be ready to step up and take his chance when it comes. I would not worry too much about a Youtube clip, particularly if he is nursing a back injury.

I am so glad Palace signed him and Palace will not regret it. But how many players can PV play? Once Hughes gets his chance and has a few games he will be difficult to replace. Those players who play his game are doing pretty well at the moment aren't they? That's good enough. Edited by adrian b (03 Nov 2021 10.23pm)

Yes i watched the same one , he looked like he was standing still like a rabbit caught in the headlights , He was well of the pace , he will have to up his game to get into the team .
