Absolute madness that people didn't rate Hess because he didn't score enough goals.


i didnt rate him, because he was dead wood for the most part......

I didn't not rate him cos he didn't score goals
I think he was overrated and some people on here were way over the top about him, when all he contributed was tidying up work
I will qualify it by saying in our current midfield (Hess/Clifton/Hewitt/Wright/Tilley) I would not be confident at all it's a midfield that gets you promoted or in play offs

But if we get Benson and another crafty midfielder then I'd be happy for him to have been retained

I guess for me Hess is one of many L2 workmanlike midfielders - and you can't have too many of that type if you want to be at top end of table



exactly.....think Bobby Mitchell alongside Joe Waters, thats when it works

How about Ron Benson and Tony Hedges if we can't get Benson and Glennon

Hess is quite easily the best of those 5 players, though? He is the only out of those with anywhere near any kind of consistency. Admittedly, I've not seen much of Tilley.

Quoted from pen penfras


Maybe more to do with him passing forwards about once every three games. His break up play was superb, but he was far more capable of playing football than what we saw for the most part. Maybe it was Jolley's tactics, but watching Hess pass the ball sideways and backwards under zero pressure was painful to watch.


It made the late Ray Wilkins a rich, and much capped, player. said to be nicknamed the Crab because of his sideways movement, but numerous managers saw far more in him than that. Have to admit I didn't, but I never got past managing in the old Grimsby Saturday league.


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

Hess was great at doing what he was told to do. You can't fill your midfield with creative players. You need one of them to keep it simple and Hess was happy to do that. I'm sure he has more than that in his locker but we never really got to see it.

I hope that Sean Dyche has appreciated the progress at League 2 level for a quick dozen games and will allow both players a full hardening up season at this level before easing them up the league ladder.

If not - who might be the next layer to loan out to a caring club who look after young progressing talent?
