Lee Hodson - Is he injured?

[OneDavidCooper 2,505]

Didn't appear to be in contention for Europa League debacle and not sure if he has figured in the keep all prying eyes away Friendlies.

[TheKingObv 10,639]

He's brutal either way

[jackrfc95 4,255]

He was definitely training last week.

You're just jealous of him, clearly.

[Guest Lloyd72]

He was training so nah

[OneDavidCooper 2,505]

Thank you

Was in the NI squad for qualifiers I think so would have had extra time off. 

[there'sonlyoneamoruso 1,724]

Was on international duty with NI at the start of pre-season so came back late. Not in the mix for the EL so I presume Pedro doesn't rate him and he'll be moved on.

Better defender than Tav easily.

Still surprises me he's a Northern Irish international. 

Hoping he's moved on soon, as he's just not good enough. We need to shift the likes of Hodson, Windass and Crooks as soon as possible.

The game in Azerbaijan was the first game that NI won which Hodson featured in. He was only on for about 5 mins mind you.

He has never stood out for me. I wished him well when he joined, but I think Motherwell or St Johnstone is more his level.

[TopCat 4,511]

I forgot all about him tbh.

 

Time he was moved on imo. Not good enough.

[CoopsLaud 4,186]

I think the boy is ok. Prefer him to Tav.

Reckon he can defo do a job in the squad for us

I was optimistic about him as a utility player than can play in either full back position is usually always a good addition to the squad, but he's not stood out as being any better than most of Warburton's signings. He's a bit more solid at the back than Tavernier, but that's about it. (Even then, he's been guilty of making errors - despite what some would say.)

He's not good enough for Rangers, but I think he at least made an effort to be. Best of luck to him wherever he ends up.

He'll end up in League 1 in England. Just another poor MW signing.

[DariuszAdamczuk 548]

Not good enough, nothing against him but just don't see anything in him, was getting torn to shreds during the very short spell he was on the pitch in that Aberdeen game at the end of the season.

[Cedrick 8,048]

Looked more solid against them the games he played in

[Teamgers 1,214]

Never a Rangers player!

It's hard to know what a Rangers player even is anymore 

[siddiqi_drinker 14,635]

thought Charlton were interested in him and forrester, two for the price of one deal.

[philiprfc 1,799]

Decent defender. Obviously doesn't fit into Pedro's plans as he's absolutely dire going forward.

Although, begs the question why Wallace plays?

[Tam Müller 340]

Wondering where all the bad press for Hodson comes from? An NI international as far as I'm aware also remember him pocketing sinclair in the league cup semi which very few in this league have done for 90 minutes. Do remember a brain fart from him against St Johnstone when he got robbed on the edge of the box from that Alston but hes a better defender than Tav. 

On the subject of Tav I'd probably like to see someone in his place and him wide right of a 442 if Candeias flops

[bluewhitevanman 1,619]

Far better than tav wil ever be at defence and isn't to bad going forward and will be a better player with a team of better players. I'd get rid of tav and keep hodson but don't think that will happen

Just shows how people see things differently regarding football; my opinion is that Hodson is a hopeless defender and not very good going forward. I did watch him carefully one game and reckon 90% of his passes were back passes when the better option was to pass forward, lack of confidence or lack of ability?
