[Albion] Jack Hinshelwood [9/4/24: new deal to 2028]

Hinsh’s last penalty for us didn’t go well either.

Haha good point. He still had more of a claim than Gomez for this one though

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Even I was pissed off he wasn't given the ball for the pen. Ridiculous

respect for that

With our luck they would have saved it, gone up the other end, and equalized

Game wasn't over, got to give it to your best penalty taker (that is not on the naughty step).

I agree. It’s a professional football match in one of the best league’s in the world. Small club mentality would be to give the home grown lad the chance to score a hat-trick rather than make the sporting decision to let your best penalty taker on the field take it.

Hinsh has a very good eye for goal and the ability to be in the right place at the right time. Very useful attributes indeed.

Yep, I think he’ll always get a lot of goals.

I know he’s been compared to Gross but he reminds me of another German - Thomas Muller. Like Muller, Jack doesn’t have any physical characteristics that particularly stand out but he has a similar appreciation of space and a football brain meaning he finds himself in good positions time and again - it’s not a coincidence. Could see Jack playing further forward more often when we need goals or have injuries up front.

It's about time we had a player like that.

He's been my player of the season, alongside Baleba, who has been immense.

The fact JH is a home grown local lad barely out of his teens, plays with the intelligence and experience of your Lallana/MIlner types is quite astounding.

Jack Hinshelwood-surely our next England international. Has everything!

 

[Motogull]

He's gonna have a hell of night isn't he? Richly deserved.

 

[BrickTamland]

He will get a decent amount of goals for the club. What impresses me more is his one touch passing in tight spaces in a congested midfield. As close to a Gross regen as we could have hoped for, and a local lad too

His awareness of players around him and space, plus his positioning is exceptionally good……rarely misplaces a pass or loses the ball. Ridiculous talent for his age.

 

[The Colonel]

What are the chances of getting him to sign a new contract? He's so good there would be no risk in giving him 6+ years.

 

[Silverhatch]

Perfect modern footballer. Superb talent & Brighton Captain in the making.

[Greg Bobkin]

Even I was pissed off he wasn't given the ball for the pen. Ridiculous

Was that because you were looking forward to giving him an absolute shoeing if he missed?

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Here's one for the stattos: when was the last time we scored two goals from a corner in the same game?

1956?

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Probably a £30m player already (English, 20 years old, scores goals, versatile, only going to get better).

I wonder what the academy system has cost over the years. Might Jack's value outstrip that total cost? And I wonder how much higher he could go?
