One thing is clear to me though: if Beestin is going to play regularly, he’s got to track his man more when defending. For their first goal, he’s standing watching the unmarked player score. Hill mentioned this indirectly in his interview too.

There are certainly some Covid issues.

Beestin didn’t look fit last night, one of the players stood watching when Bristol were lining up to take pot shots at our goal, Hill mentioned players just watching not being involved enough in his post match interview. Rumours Beestin is a long covid sufferer, wouldn’t be surprised on last night’s evidence.

Sorry Ferrite missed your earlier post but yeah I agree 👍

Kenyon on the way. Dropping a couple of divisions. Davis close to the exit door too. More shambolic recruitment.

The selection chaos you refer to is more of a case that players like Davis, Millen and Kenyon are out of the team because they were crap signings and because of performances when they were picked.
Green has been poor for the majority of matches. He did OK at right back for one game, but then struggled in the next game. Confirmed last night that Beestin has long covid. I think Jarvis is injured.
Hill was very critical of the defence last night. He didn’t name him, but was not happy about Taft giving the penalty away. We need another centre back.

I know a few youngish people suffering bad with long Covid. They’re fit people normally but certainly don’t have the rigours of pro footy. Must be tough. Newcastle’s keeper Darlow struggled with it I believe.

Perry has only just come back from a baddish injury, not sure about Wood but he played well in the first half last night.

One thing is for sure,what ever league we find ourselves in next season it will be great we can actually clear the decks of a lot of the crap signed in the last 2 years that just beggared belief with there lack of quality and showing.Almost start from scratch and start again.
If the same scouting system is in place I wouldn’t get too excited.

If Hill is still here next season I expect the chief scout will get a job change and be mucking out the stables.

Too little too late though really isn’t it? Other clubs like Stevenage (who were below us in the table after the Oldham win) made pretty impressive signings in the first week of the transfer window and are now 9 points clear of us. We’ve dawdled around, sold last season’s top scorer and ended up 7 points from safety.
Doesn’t really matter who we sign, the club is rotten, we’ve won 5 games of competitive football in 49 games since March 2021!

Least Hill is getting in the experience we need, even if it is late in the day. Experienced CB, Grant, Feeney with Nuttall upfront would be a much stronger spine. Sinclair looks a pretty clever player as well.
I think we’ve got a player in Burns and upfront with Nuttall you would have thought we’d be a lot more potent.
As mentioned above though, problem will be getting them to gel and get them up to speed straight away.
Least now we’re doing something…hardly ideal but least they’re coming in. If we could send Hackney back and get a replacement in and somehow get rid of KDT and get another experienced striker in, considering where we are, we wouldn’t have done half bad.

After something like 3 years of signings who disappoint and underwhelm, I wish I had the optimism of some of the posters on here!

You can tell with the type of players we’re targeting that the transfer decision making has changed up. If this was Swannster and co, we’d be targeting odd foreigners or lower league kids.
