I think that Hill will have learnt a lot from yesterday, the effort was there, ability wasn’t, organization wasn’t good, big gaps in defence which gave them a goal and could have given them a few more, we played with Kenyon in front of the center backs when probably you want someone behind, I don’t know whether the gaps between Taft and Manny is because they had been used to playing 3 in central defence, midfield looked lightweight, Pugh and Beestin can play a lot better, and the forward line terrible until Scrimshaw came on.
He arrived with 31 league games to go. He has to look at all those available in 1st team games and then he can see what his starting 11 would be. Suspect his last possible several player changes will be on saturday against bradford.
We know some are not good enough and he will be writing his own list of future departures. In his Orient post match Mr Hill rates Tom Pugh and Mason O’Malley who look like they bought into what the Gaffer wants.

“All I’m saying is, going by the maths, we’re down”.
Alcy wants you all to bow down to him at the end of the season as the only one on here who said we are going down. The guru!!
Everyone knows the team is crap, we are bottom of the league and we know how many points we have. All you are doing is stating the bleeding obvious.
You are pointing the finger at Hill, but somebody needs to manage this team and try to improve them. Looks an almost impossible task, but at least he is improving the players fitness and providing motivation that has been lacking for over 18 months.

Last night Orient were streets ahead of us interms of fitness and technical ability but we still came out of it with something. How many times in the past have we deserved to win and either drawn or lost. We take the point and move on. The one thing I would say is that we are starting to look fitter which can only help. Good luck for the rest of the season Keith but some wins sooner rather than later would really help.

Insults? Pretty good at them yourself. If Hill isn’t the answer, please feel free to give the answer.

Encouraging pre match interview today saying wherever you are in the league you must try for the 3 points, something that’s been missing while Cox was in charge.

“The idea that it’s gonna be impossible to sign decent players in January is wrong.”
Based on what? We have struggled to sign quality players for the last few seasons, and now we are operating under the restrictive T&C’s of the EFL loan that Swann signed us up for.
Try as I might I cannot see any decent player wanting to come to Scunthorpe in the transfer window unless Swann returns to the heady days of signing players on unsustainable wages. To do that, Swann would need to pay-off the EFL loan, and find a way to inject finances into the club without falling foul of the FFP rules.
I hope I am wrong, but I just cannot see how we can sign quality. The best we can hope for is that we manage to offload a few of the dustbins we have in the squad, and replace them with loan signings that are hand picked by Keith Hill.

I hope Swan will splash some cash in January ..alas realistically i dont see it happening .. cant even be arsed to chuck in the funds to fix the scoreboard at GP… hopefully as previously posted we will still be in touch with others. its already looking like a 3 horse relegation battle as it stands now.

Alcy – I’m a born pessimist.
It’s not something I admire in myself and so I try incredibly hard to compensate.1 user thanked author for this post.
Sounded refreshingly honest to me. Was proud of his players effort whilst accepting they are not very good. Talked of improving the quality of his hard working less technical players and getting more work out of the more competent players.
Makes a lot of sense and more interesting than “We trained really well this week”.
Did not sense the distancing mentioned but let’s face it – Hill did not pick any of the 25 players he has inherited and would have been unlikely to pick more than 4 or 5 of them.
