He's caused chaos every time he's played against us. Not that bad a record for Solihull.

Play to his strengths and his size makes him a threat against anyone.

All I would say, based on what little Iā€™ve seen on him, is that if his footballing ability is up to League Two standard then he should be scoring a lot more goals than he has done historically. At 6ft 9ā€ he is an absolute anomaly; the graphic below gives you a good idea of the height advantage he has over even other ā€˜bigā€™ players:

His record suggests to me that he hasnā€™t got the best footballing brain or great technical ability, though perhaps thatā€™s something Hurst feels he can coach into him (if thereā€™s any truth in the rumour) and perhaps the reason Huddersfield took a punt on him. Alternatively, it might also mean heā€™d be absolutely nowhere near the professional game weā€™re he 6ft.

I thought the same until Mendonca1995 mentioned it. Heā€™s got not-too-bad a record, now not sure what to believe.

Well, this young ITK journo hasnā€™t posted since September until today, and so that post can be taken with a pinch of salt. That said, I might be mistaken but hasnā€™t Mendonca1995 had a couple of correct tips in the past?

Edit: it seems he has

If we need a tall striker I'd rather we'd kept Manny. I don't rate Hudlin one bit.

Weā€™re already a team severely lacking in pace going forward. Hudlin makes Gary Jones look quick.

Quoted from Poojah
Personally would be a bit underwhelmed by Hudlin, but having come across the footage of his ā€˜collisionā€™ with Smith, I had forgotten that the flick-on Hudlin won had pretty much put Dallas through on goal before the ref blew the whistle.

A double bonus, really.

I'm convinced that our half time team talk was basically "make sure you take that lanky fecker out the game."
