Traf Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 You need to embrace the positive energy that we're putting into the building blocks. Ignore the scoreboard and league table, because we've not been defeated yet. And then some other bollocks about fruit & veg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ani Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 KH comes across as one of those pricks who thinks they are a bit cleverer than the rest of us. Therefore they try and come out lots of clever little lines. Sadly they just show they are thick as pig shot. The only good line is a cheeky little one.

Burndens Bogs Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 I'm actually pleased for KH today, he's come in for a lot of flack lately, some of it deserved and some of it self inflicted obvs, but today went well for him,us and the team. Onwards and upwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s changed personnel around to achieve a result. And maybe he’s starting to build a team with a blend of youthfulness, experience and quality needed at this level. Probably too soon to call the last point, (especially after 1 result against poor opposition) but no more so than writing him off for a testing period previously.

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted February 1, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted February 1, 2020 I really don’t know. Thought a Hill was ok at Rochdale. I’m prepared.

Build a structure round Hill- like the one he's been moaning about? Either back him on that front or take the concerns of others' onboard and flirt him. As for another decent manager; you adopted the same approach last year. Clearly Pep won't be interested, but the concept that there's no one better out there is daft- we might as well all pack it in. That's the job of FV etc to get the recruitment right. Plenty of examples of much smaller clubs managing perfectly well and building teams with a far better product on show. I think Hill and Flitcroft are part of FVs ongoing plan inasmuch as this year was always going to be a write off. Aunty Sharon and Peter Kenyon will already be on the case to replace both. Remember when Derby continued with 'Jimmy' Jewell even after their relegation was nailed on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is probably the plan with knobs on Why engage Kenyon other than to advise as to the suitability of Hill & Flitcroft & dependant on that to recommend suitable replacements( or not).

Blondi Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I'll give KH about 6 games next season to hit the ground running in League 2, if we get off to a shitty start, it'll be bye bye! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Ratwhite Posted February 9, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted February 9, 2020 Hill and Flitcroft cheapest option No buy out. Bus passes as company cars.

His interest is with the club, not just Hillcroft. With FVs continued work in the right direction and having us walk before we can even jog we will hopefully be able to attract more class (ie less dross) both on and off the field next time the managerial wheel has a spin.

By all accounts Hillcroft was his pick. The takeover was completed on a Wednesday evening and realistically we needed to appoint a manager before the end of that week. At that stage it was practically just the three of them, and two of the three had no experience of working in football whatsoever. Hill was probably the option who was most able to get going immediately and so was, at the time, an obvious and sensible choice. I don't think there'a plan to remove him any time soon and I expect him to be in charge at the start of next season, but if they did decide to move him on I can't see why that would cause any kind of boardroom split. From memory, I think the plan has always been for Brittan to have the more involved role anyway. She's not chairman for nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moon boy Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Every player that Hillcroft have brought to the club so far has been better than previous. People who say they can’t organise the defence are talking through there arses, how do you ‘organise’ a defence, per se, 11 players play as team if they are good players they score more goals than their opponents and win Hillcroft are vastly experienced football men who know the game inside out, are local and know what it means to us, they are giving everything to the cause, we need to back them and give them a chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first goal conceded yesterday was pretty much the same as the opener at Peterborough (a) Defenders can't afford to allow the opponents to leave the last man alone. Other teams will scour videos of our games and realise all our defenders want to defend right in front of goal so if you put a player further out than the last defender he will receive the ball without impedence.
