Walkden White 33 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Very happy with Hill and Flitcroft. Living in Rochdale now seen them quite a few times when he was in charge. Tries to play it on the deck and will get players going out knowing exactly what's expected of them. Might even get a tune out out Buckley again if he gets signed.

bwfcfan5 486 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 When you think some very quick decisions need taking on Monday re who to sign on loan etc it’s probably right that someone with experience is taking them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Who knows but again that’s come from Flitcroft today so they’re obviously aware we will only see in time if Hill is happy with them all Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lt. Aldo Raine 123 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) On paper, a sensible appointment. Definitely “old-school” in his managerial approach but has a decent record in the lower leagues, will have plenty of contacts and knowledge about players at this level, and has a reputation for playing a pleasing style of football. My only concern is that when poor results put him under pressure at Rochdale, he was prone to publicly criticising supporters. If pressure can do that to him there, then it certainly can here, and I hope he's learned and is ready to deal with that. However, now that he's in he obviously has my full support and I wish him well. There will definitely be a couple more familiar accents around the place. Edited August 31, 2019 by Lt.

Think we’ve only got 12 spots in the squad limit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RoadRunnerFan 259 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) Happy with Hillcroft. Strategy not sentiment. They tick the boxes we need as pointed out above. Might even get a tune out of Buckley. Edited August 31, 2019 by RoadRunnerFan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Eavesy 94 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Happy with this. I just want a manager we can get behind. someone I’d want alongside me in the trenches. someone passionate. someone who will give the centre back a bollocking if they don’t do what they are suppose to do. someone who will give the ref what for. thank fuck someone who won’t sit on his seat all match not knowing what the fuck they are doing Quote Link to post Share on other sites

barrycowdrill 390 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Interesting that Hill states the incomings aren’t there to ‘replace’ the young lads who have been playing weve all said all along that the perfect scenario will be some of the current lads with experience around them Hill already knows his brief and what he will be working with Quote Link to post Share on other sites
