I understand that Keith Hill has brought us success, but in all honesty I'm getting sick and tired of his bizarre/stupid decisions.
The constant omission of Allessandra is bordering on tedious now, he's probably our only out and out striker, when he plays (which is as regular as a blue moon) he looks to make something happen, but never plays, and today isn't even in the squad, we've got BBM on the bench, I understand this is due to an injury, but do we not plan for these things?
Last week against Bury, were 0-1 down and he puts Rose on instead of Allessandra (even Bunney) it was like waving a white flag, and effectively giving up, and letting Bury through.
His constant selection of Lancashire is beyond baffling, surely he can see what we all see, he's at best poor, the most mystifying part is that Eastham is a better defender, and a better footballer, but constantly sits on the bench, while Lancashire seems to be allowed to drop clanger after clanger.
Our defending from any form of set-piece is pathetic, it's a stretch to call it defending, last week we played a side with a proper set-piece specialist, did we not plan for that. The first goal was scored by a player who must be around 5" 9", he outjumped every one of our players, he wanted it, the same player outjumped Bennett who must be at least 6 or 7 inches taller than him, once again he wanted it.
The signing of O'Sullivan is quite simply a disaster - he has offered nothing apart from a temper that he cant control, he has got today what he deserved on his debut, if this is the best player Hill can get in on loan, I would rather he didn't bother.
His treatment of Andy Cannon earlier in the season was disgusting, I don't know the in's and out's, but if Cannon has said he isn't fit and doesn't want to let his team mates down, in my opinion he should be applauded for his honesty, he always gives 100% and Hill coming out saying he should play through the pain, he could get a serious injury or cost his team mates the game.
Hill's general manner is of arrogance and "i'm better than you" - it's no secret to people who know me that I don't like the man (I don't think many people do) but this has been overlooked by a lot of people due to good results.
Today, McDermott has gone off, and he's put BBM on, I would rather put Mendez-Laing on and lose 4-0 and try, which we don't seem to be doing. I like BBM but he's hardly going to pull us back from 2-0 down.
I remember once chatting to Col about my fundraising, he said something along the lines of "I hope the day never comes when you don't want to raise money for the club" - that day has come unfortunately. I love my football club passionately, I hold it very, very dear, but the general feeling around the club at the moment is poor in my opinion.
People will of course say that his job isn't under threat, it probably isn't, but questions need to asked. |  |
