Cracking player. Don't get when people slate him. He's a grafter who keeps the engine ticking, picks up any slack by offering positional cover. Every player's job is made easier when he's on the pitch. He'll also chip in with goals and assists. Should never have sold him.
Always gave the ball away in important positions at SAFC. Worked hard but had little end product and I thought we looked better without him. Might have been the manager! But, let’s be honest, do you think our current manager could make him better??
Really? Cracking player? Sorry but I was so pleased to see him in another clubs shirt when hull played us in the cup. Weak, ran about a bit, gave ball away and fouled constantly as hes not strong enough ,gets forced off the ball and fouls
Honeyman was and is a very good player, he was like Maja badgered by a section of the crowd for no reason imo other than he came through the ranks, and I still think this may have had a part to play in loosing us the only striker we've had since Defoe, and any chance we had of a quick return to the Championship. As for George we had a surfeit of small midfielders at the time of his departure, and he was the one sacrificed, probably the only one with any market value tbh. Too much of a footballer for Parky though, so he is probably in a better place right now Good Luck George.
I always rated Honeyman. We could do with him now, someone to take the ball from our CMs and give it to our strikers on the ground because they ain't getting it any other way.
Between Power, Dobson, Scowen or Honeyman, George would get my vote, we could still do with a tough no nonsense midfield man to compliment Grant, but Honeyman is also very handy in the final third imo. as good if not better than both Gooch and Maguire.
Ah the Honeyman debate. It's tired, tedious and like groundhog Day. We had it with the hendo haters too. Funny how both outgrew us pretty fast only to perform consistently at a higher level, what with them "not good enough to play for us". proof is in the pudding mate.
Fair play with Hendo, but I'm not sure that argument applies to George. He played one season in the Championship, scoring one goal as his team finished bottom...
Thinking that one goal in 42 games from an attacking midfielder is "performing consistently". Nuff said.
I don't measure consistency for non forwards by goals for a club which is nosediving. I'm not that one dimensional in my assesment of the game. If he were a forward I still wouldn't judge on goals alone.
Got off to a patchy start. But following recent performances a lot of our fans are singing a different tune now. Our best player in the opening matches.
When has honeyman consistently performed at a higher level since he left us? He was in and out of a terrible hull team that are now in our league. As for henderson, theres no comparisons at all to him and honeyman. As of yet a cant see any proof in the pudding that honeyman is what he is, a just above average league 1 player.
I never said I was judging him on goals alone though, did I? Sorry for not spelling it out in my original post, but someone who couldn't consistently keep their place in the worst team in the Championship, and getting relegated, whilst only contributing one goal all season as a primarily attacking player, and winding up back in the same league as us, is neither "outgrowing us" nor "performing consistently at a higher level".
Can we not all just agree he's a decent L1 player and that's that. Forget anything to do with championship.
Well given Hull were in the higher league when he signed, yes it was a step up. And everybody is in and out of the team with 40+ games a season. We don't give anybody 40 starts either. Hull fans seems happy with him. And the comparison with Hendo is pretty clear. Both written off by a large chunk of the fan base only to then sign for a club above our level.
I dont know one person who wrote Henderson off. Come on mate I'm not out to have a go at honeyman but I think your clutching at straws a bit. My hull mates dont rate him and neither do a lot of lads they go to match with. Quite ironic they were relegated the season he signed for them. Hes a decent league 1 player this is his level. But that's my opinion and don see any great stats that make him anymore than that
