    He’s useless. No better than Cox, with his own January players. Another shocker.

    I can see your point APB and no doubt a huge portion of blame lies at the chairman’s doorstep. I was pleased with the appointment of Hill, figured it would give us a better chance of surviving. I ignored the warnings on his limitations from other fans of clubs he’s managed but now can see what they were saying. Spouts same old rubbish after defeat, a team with little identity and fluidity, and some very questionable signings to say the least. We are no better off under Hill than we were Cox. A terrible side going one way, possibly even out of existence at some (hopefully) very distant point.

    I started this thread 6 months ago, when we were floundering under Cox. Thinking maybe a change would save us, how wrong was I! Despite signing a gaggle of new players we have gone backwards under Hill, and for me are worse now than under Cox. No one can save this shower now, but I don’t want Hill in charge to lead us next season he is clueless. My bigger fear is that whoever is in charge will be leading the club to a second further relegation, I don’t think this is our final humiliation.

    It’s depressing isn’t it? How far we have fallen. We supporters need to ‘lower our expectations’ 😕. How is this possible given most of us expect relegation at this juncture?

    I’m not advocating anything to do with throwing items or pitch invading. I want a strong vocal presence to let them know enough is enough both on and off the pitch. It might make no difference at all, but surely we are at the stage where something has to give? We can’t keep clapping them off if we are as rubbish as we have been lately.

    I see no difference so far from last season, when we had players here that were not Cox/Will Swann choices. The team is now Cox’s/W Swann junior and still we hear the same soundbites and blather blaming the players not listening etc. If they aren’t listening it’s down to the manager and ergo management. I like Cox as stated but how long can wr stumble on with the same rhetoric week in week out?

    He was on the pitch on Saturday Andrew helping with the warm-up, did you not go? What do you want him to do?

    well. Inspire the team, draw some inner inspiration and at least put his head above the press parapet? I’m a season ticket holder so of course i was there. I’m not blaming Lillis for our performances, but he’s part of the reason for sure. We hear the same old blather from Cox, would be nice to at least have some quotes or offerings from Lillis. Giving us insights into how we will change the current situation.

    I’ve thought long and hard about this but it is time. He’s out of his depth and our league existence is under threat. Time to go i am afraid. This squad is his in the majority and still they make decisions that are against his instructions according to Cox. If that’s the case he’s lost the dressing room. Cox out, even though i like the guy.

    If true (and i have no reason to doubt) then frankly this is an embarrassing move by a club who are doing as much as possible to alienate us core supporters. John is part of the matchday experience and I missed seeing him last week against Swindon. I don’t know anyone who loves or cares about our club as much as John. We need to take our club back if decisions like this are the standard. A disgrace.

    I mean we must be getting close to blame for the manager? His team, his players (although hamstrung it seems by our top scouting team) and nothing seems to have changed. I guess he is cheap to employ because others have gone from our hotseat for a lot less. Like the bloke but how long do we hold on?

    Now. That’s when we consider the manager the problem. He’s had enough time to turn that squad into some kind of coherent and effective unit, whatever the injuries or anything else chucked at him/them. No clue going forward, no clue at the back, formations a shambles, no attacking intent and players disinterested all over the pitch. And where is Lillis? A club legend who should be out at least giving his insight to us as to what is happening and plans to fix it, but nope zip, zero, nil output. Not a peep. Management team out, all of them. If we survive it’s by sheer luck. Don’t give him the start of next season, if we fluke staying up then wipe the slate clean. And before you all jump on the ‘who would do better’ line frankly anyone with some semblance of organisation and an ability to instil belief in the squad would do.

    But, he is now in charge on pitch and had time. I agree we can’t afford to replace them, but we can’t afford relegation either. At what point do we draw a line with the manager and hope we can grind out survival with someone else ? Our fate is pinned to null and void maybe? As i said earlier i am not advocating sacking, just questioning whether someone else can get more from our current squad.

    It’s a fair point. Does anyone think a new manager could do better with the current cohort? Whilst we are poor as a squad can someone else make any difference? Like i said i am not advocating a sacking for the sake of it. I just wonder if someone else may get a better response and performance from the current players?
