Old fashioned dirty bastard of a player who shook it up a bit.

Do I want him anywhere near the squad again? No, but he did what he does.

What? He was useless and the only thing he did was get booked

Got booked because he's an old fashioned dirty bastard who left his boot in on purpose.

Was also happy to wave his elbows around and wind up their players.

I'm not saying he was good but he came on to shake it up.

Fair enough but last thing we needed was giving them free kicks which they would take ages to take

Biggest negative for me was that injuries meant we didn't get to see Hylton vs Marriott

Maybe they'll meet in the Premier.

cant understand why he is ahead of Mbick, he surely cant be worse, makes no sense, people said he will never get minutes and is purely for coaching purposes, but here we are. He is taking potential minutes away from a youngster

I kind of see your point. I reckon mbick will start or at least get minutes on Tuesday. Playing him
in front of a big crowd when we are chasing a game might not be good for his development. Especially when our next two games lower key cup games

I would like to think that Hylton was only used yesterday due to his experience. With gas and chucks back soon, hopefully that’s the end of the  hylton experience

Mbick is said to be injured.

Dixon then. My thinking is that against quite a big physical team Jones wanted Hylton as an option rather than Dixon. 

Hylton looked unfit, and him coming on meant that Godden ended up playing on the wing, so I think Dixon would definitely have been the better choice 

As a big target man getting on the end of long balls for 15 mins? Unfortunately, without chucks and gas available, hylton was the best option for the circumstances.

I reckon dixon will start and be on the bench for the next two games.

hylton was a horses for courses selection and I can see why. As above, I’m hoping that’s the end of him now.

But why is that the only plan ?

He was shit, looked like a testimonial game for him.  Even worse was we had him on the bench instead of more pace which Wrexham couldn’t handle.  Least jones got to do his mate a favour though

This.

Would have been better to have Dixon on the bench & bring him in with 10 mins to go. Much better option & do you know what.....pace frightens defenders - especially tiring ones.

Did he actually do any of that successfully though? And as I said it meant shifting Godden out to the wing. 

Regardless of his performance, which I didn't see so won't comment on, it's the messaging of resorting to fielding him that concerns me, within the Club and amongst our rivals. 

Surely he only played because Wrexham are a physical team and 3 strikers that are ahead of him in the pecking order are injured (and possibly some of the under 21s as well)? Doubt we'll be seeing much of him when normal service is resumed.

We might as well pick a random bloke out the crowd instead of giving this bloke any minutes. He is worse than useless. If we signed someone with his recent record under Roland or Sandgaard people would have gone apeshit.

In fairness after Godden’s pen hit the back of the net Hylton’s follow up was only 20 yards over the bar onto the roof . He’s getting there.

He will now count as a first team player for the Bristol street Motors games.

Cult hero and next Charlton manager

Think Chelsea’s ‘keeper may have just got an education in the dark arts of lower league football that aren’t taught in the pampered elite academy environment! 

He got Hyltoned!
