I will cut him a huge amount of slack this season. There was only so much you can do with a very limited budget. They club and Hill performed very well shipping so many out in January. Yes granted the players brought in have not set the world alight with winning football but he bought in players (Feeney and Grant) we probably wouldn’t have been able to get in otherwise had it not been for his influence.The damage had already been done in the last 3 or 4 windows with the plethora of low quality cheap signings Swann allowed us. Mark my words in the Vanarama next season,this is where you will see Hills quality as a manager where I fully expect at very least a solid season of stability.
None of the players we signed in January have shown anything that suggests they’re better than the players who left in January. Some might point to Grant but he’s had some crap games too. Feeney doesn’t seem to have offered much, the two strikers look woefully out of touch and Sinclair isn’t much better. Delaney at a push? That’s about it.
I’ve seen absolutely nothing from Hill in his 20-odd games to suggest he’s got a plan for this team. If anything, we’ve gone backwards since his first few matches in charge.
