Didn't have one of his better games but I do like Hancock as number 10.
He's our 3rd best
In that position?
Yes...a million miles off James Poole in that position. Took his goal well but pretty anonymous the rest of the game.
Million miles off? If that was the case then I am sure Poole would have scored a lot more. Hancock is more influential in that position than Poole. He gets in better positions and supports Hulme a lot better. Hulme is back scoring. I think Poole is decent but he goes missing in so many games. I would love to see the stats.
If someone mentions about ball retention again then just think... is that ball retention at the right time in games? It is fine when we are 3 or more up but Poole can slow us down.
We look and are more dangerous in this league with Hancock as number 10.
I'd be very surprised if there's many who share your opinion.
Yep, I’m with Cheadle Hulme Alty on this....Poole is head and shoulders above Hancock as a number 10. I’d also have Max Harrop as a 10 before Josh. Poole is a class act — his ball retention under pressure, his range of passing and his ability to bring others into the game far surpasses Hancock in my opinion.
You do seem to have some kind of Agenda against Poole which I can’t understand as he is a class above. He’s also proved it at a much higher level than this, which we will see the benefit of next season. There are some games where honestly you wouldn’t know Josh is even playing. I’m not having a go — he has a decent goal tally and is a threat with free kicks etc, but he’s not at James Poole level .
