All this talk of Keith Hill having a 'job for life' is patronising to our football club and to us as supporters.
He, the same as all managers, stands or falls on the quality of performances and good results, neither of which we are having at the moment.
His latest crop of signings are, to a man, poor. He is persevering with failing tactics and team selection every game - in fact, so many games this season and towards the end of last season have felt like the SAME (boring) game, on repeat.
He fills his team with defensive midfielders and is surprised when we create almost naught. He is asking defenders who can't see or make a pass to play it out from the back. They are not ROTATING or RECYCLING the ball. They are passing it sideways and back to the keeper repeatedly - there is a world of difference.
We are a better team when we attack teams, give it a go, all that No Fear mantra. These days Hill plays to our weaknesses instead of our strengths. We have to beat his tactics and team selection before we beat the opposition.
I feel as low today as I did when Steve Parkin's reign came to an end or when we were hoofing it under Graham Barrow or scrapping it out with John Coleman. I think it's called disillusionment.
Admit it, how many of us thought we'd win the game once Wigan scored their first goal - or even score a goal? |  | | |  |

Did Dick Connor get us promoted twice and take us to Wembley? I'd say getting promoted is harder than avoiding relegation. |
Dick connor was assistant manager when we got promoted. Difficult to get promoted twice from the bottom division when he was only at the club for one season in thatdivision. Of course the only way to get to wembley in those days was to reach either the FA or League cup final. No micky mouse cups for nobodies or play offs for teams who finished in the top quarter of the division.
He did get a draw away to top tier Crystal Palace in the league cup and of course silenced Noel Cantwell and his Coventry team, a team that played in Europe that season, by the way. | | | |
