One of Cox’s problems was to favour the players he signed although not the first Iron manager to do that.
Not sure if Millen was injured yesterday but interesting that O’Malley and Rowe got the nod at full back by McMahon. Both have struggled for starts under Cox.
Hippolyte also didn’t start and may not be doing in the foreseeable if the snippet from the half time team talk is true. Although it took him time to show it Hackney is the only summer signing to to demonstrate he is any better than players already here and of course he is going back in January.
Still hopeful Scrimshaw will look the part if Hill can organise a bit of quality ball to him.
Thompson is a hard working lad but no better a defender than O’Malley and not as good going forward.
Davis, Kenyon and Millen have had 2 good games between them although injuries have not helpedwith either of them. The so called experienced guys have been underwhelming at best so far.
I hope another 1 or 2 of our own young lads get the chance to shine in Tuesdays otheraise meaningless game (Wilson and Gallimore perhaps).
Dont think Mr Hill will fanny about with those that don’t care e.g. Hippolyte or those that will never be good enough e.g. Green.

Must have missed Devarn’s good game last season WG.
Agree he does not have the same problem as Hippolyte. He works hard and I would love to see him succeed.
As Usain Bolt demonstrated in his attempts to be a professional footballer being quick isn’t much use if you can’t pass, cross or shoot.
The fact that 50% of his runs end up with him on his arse looking for a free kick that never comes doesn’t help either.

The frustrating thing for me was seeing how often we gave the ball away with sloppy passing. Hill definitely has his work cut out over the coming weeks ahead.

They did get Wilson to warm up late on then realised they had already made 5 substitutions.
Having to sub a sub doesn’t help. Suspect we might see him on Tuesday.

“Loft must be deluded if he thinks he can move on to better things”.
Clubs would have to overlook his poor ball control, his pass completion stats and less than prolific 9 goals in 49 matches before they realise what a great signing he would be.
Said before the season that if he was our main striker we would be doomed.

During his tenture seems a few of Cox choices were strange including his reluctance to give Wilson etc a run out .. he obviously had his favourites. Hopefully being more experiences at this level (in general) dont think we will see the same from Hill .. he has a big job on his hands sorting the wheat from the chaff ..or the semi chaff from the chaff, we may not see Hippolyte play for a while if the rumors are correct on Hills thoughts on him.
I am sad enough to read most stuff written about the Iron in the public domain and I have never seen anything (other than on here) that suggests he is leaving.
Love him or hate him as a player he is currently the most likely player we have to score an occasional goal and however well or badly he plays he gives 100% for me.

That would need planning permission NI. Our track record on that one is not good.
