I predict well. Can imagine he's been back training/playing with Beechy's boys? | | | |

True. But fully agree with the second part. Even better because this time unlike the Eyre and Coleman eras, there is a good connection, working relationship and friendship between Beechy and Hill. | | | |
Cuts and Bruises on 12:10 - Mar 22 with 2954 views | dingdangblue | I wonder how this will affect contracts with Tutte and Bennett? Both out of contract at the end of the season - obviouly Tutte's injury isn't as serious so he should be ok but it will be a tricky one with Bennett - will we offer him a 2-3 year contract with such a serious injury? | |

Cuts and Bruises on 12:15 - Mar 22 with 2932 views | Daley_Lama | Given that Hilly calls them "two key players" since his return then I would summise that he rates them and a contract will be offered to both of them at the end of the season. Of course the bright lights of Scunthorpe or Tranmere may flash in their direction and they could simply be off to pastures new. | |

In Bennett's case at least, his best hope of pursuing a long and fruitful career in football is to stay put under Hilly for at least another year. If he's in any doubt, he should ask Joe Thompson. | |

...talking of kids. Who is Darcy O'Connor, named as a sub on Tuesday evening? Anyone know anything about this young fellow? | | | | Login to get fewer ads
Cuts and Bruises on 12:37 - Mar 22 with 2866 views | ChaffRAFC | Same could be said for Reece Gray who's also out of contract as of July. What do you do? Given he'll probably be on a cheap wage, do you offer him a 12 month deal? A 6 month deal depending on fitness? With Bennett, I think he's become a fantastic player for us and we'll be looking to tie him down but I doubt we'll be offering a two year deal given the seriousness of his injury. | |

Hill already knows what Gray is about, he rated him last time around, and i don't see why he wouldn't want to offer him at least a 6 month contract until January, to see how he holds up fitness wise. | |

We need to get Hill on a long term contract first. | | | |

Cuts and Bruises on 17:45 - Mar 22 with 2564 views | ChaffRAFC | Jamie Allen is a centre midfielder in the Paul Scholes mode (even Coleman made that link), he's highly rated. As for right back, Rafferty should come back in but Hill doesn't seem to rate him. There's not much in the YTS in terms of right back. Sam Minihan is out on loan isn't he?

Hilly could have seen his performance at Bradford when he actually threw himself back on to the pitch and then ended his performance with the slowest withdrawal from the pitch ever witnessed. Both instances showed him in a very bad light. If that was as a result of being managed by Coleman then its understandable,if its in the players DNA then we are wasting our time. Its time to eliminate any cheats and con-men from the club,they have dragged us down over the last 2 years. Rafferty still has a lot to prove yet, i dont understand how some folk eulogise about him. For me he needs to change his attitude and demanour and concentrate on his playing prowess because at times he does show glimpses of genuine ability. | | | |

I think the Coleman cheating thing is exaggerated at times. Every team will do their best to gain an advantage. I remember Jordan Rhodes at the Don Valley walking all the way over to the other side of the pitch having been told by Hill that he was about to come off. The ref made a point of adding a ridiculous amount of "time allowed" (possibly 6 minutes) during which they equalised. | |

he's on loan at Halifax. He's played about 5 games and I don't think they've conceded a single goal since he's been there. That said, I don't think he's ever looked anything beyond Neill Byrne level. http://www.theshaymen.net/ipb/index.php?/topic/4766-matt-pearson/ They're impressed, but they have played him at centre half which has obviously been his position since about 5 minutes in at Ratcliffe.

Think it's quite harsh to say he's not looked better than Neill Byrne. I don't mind Pearson and don't think he's played his natural position at any time this season with us. He's a centre half but has played most of his games at right back where he's done alright. The problem with him playing right back though is the fact he cannot cross. I suspect he'll be released in the summer unless he's cheap enough and decent enough backup in Hill's eyes. But yeah, he's twice the player Byrne is. | |
