On the nail – as usual Les

I have too have said the players were better then most were giving them credit for and Mr Cox just wasn’t getting the best out of them, Mr Cox was a scunny lad and I like everyone else thought he was a good appointment but it was just to big of a job for him unfortunately.
Mr Hill is getting the best out of them by firstly making them work harder and by getting them fitter! He is now showing them how to become better as a team and individually.
Hopefully Mr Swann is going to back Keith in January where possible and stay out of the playing side of the club and leave the management to their jobs to carry on with their jobs.

With no changes at all in January – Mr Hill has enough material to take us away from danger.
I rate that bloke off the scale!I also rate him but I’d like to think I’m also realistic. If that 45 minutes for Loft was a flash in the pan or he picks up an injury we’re in the shite again. I wouldn’t chance our arm on the firepower we have to survive.
Apart from Bunn who’s more a link player up there, we haven’t got a great deal. Scrimshaw is a capable finisher at times but more often than not he’s never in the right area in or around the box to sniff chances out.
Realistically we need 2 new strikers to go with Scrimshaw, Loft and Bunn.
Attempt to get Jarvis out on loan with O’Neil, Turan and Jessop. A creative CM and maybe another CB and we might be ok. I don’t think we’ll survive without strengthening.
You can’t have only 1 capable striker who’s a potential goal getter who’s inconsistent himself to fire you to safety, we need help in Jan.
Regarding Cox, myself, Barton and one or two others said he should have been dumped months before…he was completely clueless. If Cox ever gets another managers job in my lifetime, I’ll be more than a bit surprised.
Being a manager not even capable of getting your team match fit that far into the season isn’t just negligent, it’s a clear sign you shouldn’t be anywhere near a managers job.
I’m surprised Ardley even kept him around as assistant manager at Notts County. Most shocking thing is the fact he knows football as well as a seasoned pro. Unbelievable really when you think about it.

Can’t see Hill taking any notice whatsoever of our cygnet scout, if players are forced on him I expect he would just walk away.

Before Hill even accepted this role, he met Swann and stated what he had to have “meaning near complete control”. I remember listening to an interview from Hill soon after he signed, saying just that.
Hill wouldn’t have come in the first place if all this wasn’t ironed out from the start. One thing he isn’t is somebody who can be ignored or made a fool of.
Hill will know the players we want and will have ear marked some already. I remember him saying after he was sacked at Bolton he was still out and about looking at players ready for getting another job elsewhere.
Hill stated he had made many contacts in the game through his time managing. Trust me, he’ll know lower league players.
Do you really think he’ll allow us to sign another Turan/Jarvis ?.
Not a cat in hells chance !

Will the Chief Scout be dismissed, continue to receive an unnecessary wage or perhaps redeployed as assistant manager?

Hope you’re right WG.
And Cass, it should be 1, but I’ve a feeling it will be 2.
Not that we’re likely to be told either way.1 user thanked author for this post.
