The best teams have intelligent acting halves that push their forwards around , call moves and organise last tackle plays. They are generally blessed with the ability to pass both ways quickly and accurately and can kick and judge when to scoot and when to pass. Houghton has none of those attributes. I've said it for years now that we will never get anywhere as long as Houghton is our 9 but unfortunately he's going to be there for as long as he wants to stay because he's from Hull and has massive heart and desire and wants FC to succeed. This latter point in fact is what we are basing our future on , Hull lads that will die for the cause , and Danny is the figurehead. Crazy strategy. Certainly try to find as many good local players as possible but they just aren't going to come along in the right position at the right time. Houghton and Cunningham next year. Will that make us better?
