I think he will follow the same route to alcoholism and ruin as one Bobby Howe. :beers

I wouldn't wish that on anyone!! Whenever I see Bobby Howe out you can almost see the sadness in his eyes. That's one depressed mother fucker.

Whilst I shall not be in anyway upset never to see MH play again, I think a bit of perspective needs to be applied to his record.....he was a free transfer and did play near on 200 games in total over 5 seasons....so in that sense has given good service...there have been periods when he has played semi decent and we've maybe missed him if not playing to an extent.
A limited player, but we're not going to get Patrick Viera or Rino Gattuso on a free from Shitty are we?
His decline this season may in some way be connected to the Gurney leaving situation...don't suppose we'll ever know.......I'd imagine he might interest a Conference club.

Howard was average if you ask me, and left Migz doing half of his running for him. He is in no condition for a footballer still. I would have hoped that being dropped might have forced him down the gym a bit more. Went down way too easily if you ask me.
I am so relieved at Hewletts imminent departure, i cannot begin to say! I thought Howard did well in the first half, but looked knackered by 65/70 minutes. Anybody else think that he looked like he'd lost a little weight?

Perhaps he's playing to impress all the Premiership scouts at the game last night. Couldn't tell if he'd lost weight from the back of t'Nationwide though. As for Hewlett, thanks for the service, cheerio, see you later, good luck.

Cant agree with Reg-Hewlett would be a strong candidate for a Worst Ever Town x1 in my opinion and I've been going for 40 years.How much better did the midfield look last night?

If King thinks Hewlett is not worth a new contract, why has he played him in about three quarters of all our games this season?

More creative, didn't give the ball away so much and used it much better but there were huge gaps and City had a lot of room. It'd be interesting to see how we cope away from home this weekend.

I must have been drunk. Howard didn't look any fitter at all in my eyes. Not saying he was awful, just didn't have the legs for a 90 minute game of proffessional kick and ball.

I agree with Reg, Hewlett is far from a good player but he's not our worst ever and he does get used as a scapegoat more than he deserves.
He did have a very good spell in the second half of last season but he hasn't performed this year and I'm happy he's leaving. I doubt he would have played much this year if we'd managed to sign the box to box midfielder in the summer.
