Satoshi Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 I posted about this on another thread, but Hendry is an example of how much momentum and luck plays a part in professional footballer. If you look at his attributes he has a making of a top flight footballer, he's good on the ball, quick and a has the technical attributes of a good defender. And yet his career has bounced around a lot. Meanwhile, obviously worse players like Shane Duffy have 116 PL appearances. I hope he gets some stability and becomes a bit of late bloomer. Character will have played a part but I think he has just been a bit unlucky with wrong moves at wrong time. He isn't the first and won't be the last to suffer from this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes a professional in a work environment, so thankfully he didn't think that would be acceptable. Or we probably wouldn't have had him playing for us recently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2426255 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 On the plus side he got some minutes coming off the bench yesterday but on the minus side he had a couple of negative moments that resulted in Cremonese losing a two goal lead in the final few minutes of the game. Thankfully Cremonese went on to win 4-2 in the end. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdu98196 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Both were naive, the first while a soft call he must know you cant do that - wasn't even a proper pull really, just enough that show the ref you made an attempt to hold back, definitely dived for it. The second was poor but could be blamed on being rusty and not familiar yet with game pace and his team-mates. Hopefully wont have dented his hopes of more game time coming. Can only benefit his development for international football playing in such varied environments and understanding the cultural and behavioral differences rather than just the hammer throwers we have in our domestic game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2426255 Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Jack Hendry returns after a loan at U.S. Cremonese returns to Club Brugge early. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie Of The Month Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 I think he played for Brugge at the start of the season so he can't move elsewhere (other than leagues which are starting their new season soon like MLS) so got to hope the new manager Scott Parker rates him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 He's had a very odd career. He's 28 in a few months, so he should be in his prime. But he has never played more than 38 games for any of the ten clubs he has been at. He hadn't been getting a game for Cremonese who are sitting bottom of Serie A, and it doesn't look likely he's getting back in the Club Brugge team. What now? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bing.McCrosby Posted January 27, 2023 Author Share Posted January 27, 2023 In all seriousness tho, it would be good for him if he can get back in the brugges team, with a different manager who's from the UK he might get a chance. He could still be an important player for us if hes playing consistently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is can have a very good 2/3 game spells but struggles to produce that level on a consistent enough basis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've often thought he seems to have a concentration/awareness problem more than anything physical or technical. Was an oustanding performer is the last triple header. He was indeed ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 He was probably Scotland's best player in 2022, to my great surprise, but his club career has continued to follow the same sort of path he had here in Scotland. He's simply not cut out to play at a high-pressure level, either in a big league or in a title chasing team. The best thing he could do is find himself a mid-table team in somewhere like Portugal, Netherlands or Belgium, or shoot off to MLS where there is little jeopardy involved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie Of The Month Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 (edited) Started today for Club Brugge and kept a clean sheet. Looks like Boyata dropped to the bench for him. Even if he doesn't start every game it's an improvement on sitting on the bench for Cremonese every week.

dundeefc1783 Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Started Burgge's last two games. Hopefully can keep it up as he can be a key member of the squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkoRaj Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Having an English speaking manager should be good for him. I read the other day that there was no recall clause in the loan deal and Bruges had to pay £500k to get him back. Some bit of business for Cremonese 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie Of The Month Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Parker's record isn't great for what Club Brugge fans expect and there's already articles in the Belgian media where questions are being asked about his ability to do the job. Would be unlucky for Hendry if they paid to get him back from loan, start playing him and then the manager that rates him gets sacked. They've got Benfica at home in the Champions League this week so hopefully he continues to start for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
