Thought he did alright when he was with us before, definitely an OK signing but nothing to get the ol’ ticker racing.

Callum Howe, missed opportunity? He’s a non-league clogger…maybe useful in our current plight but there’s a reason he was released whilst we were in League 1…same with Waterfall. As if they were ever going to get in front of the likes of Mirfin, Canavan and Wallace.

World Cup semi-finalists. Euros finalists.
It looks alright on paper but we should have 100% beaten Croatia and made it to the World Cup final. And that Euro final was a travesty…we went 1-0 up then immediately sat back and failed to have another single shot on target for the rest of the game including extra time. 39% possession playing boring football with a boring manager!

Bullshit! Try and tell that to Bury fans who romped to promotion from League 2 then poof…goodbye football club!

Cox this past season – 0.74 points per game.
Hill this past season – 0.44 points per game.
Cox was the pretty much the worst manager in our history…that was until Keith Hill came along! How anyone has any faith in this man is baffling. He replaced a lot of Cox’s dross with his even worse dross in January (most oh whom he had an affiliation with from previous roles). Putting out the team he did on Saturday was insulting to everyone involved in that game, culminating in my complete lack of faith that he is the man to potentially turn our fortunes around!

Too many people have got upset about awful results when the season was already dead. Playing young uns was exactly the right course to take. Planning for next season
Codswallop! Results were awful (and worse than Cox!) before he decided to throw every youngster possible into the firing line.

He’s rubbish. Won’t be missed by me.

Until the Head of Recruitment changes changes I’ll very much remain a pessimist. Even if we all of a sudden had money to burn do you really have any confidence the current incumbent of that role would put together a decent squad of footballers!?
You only have to look at Everton and Man United to see that you can spend all the money in the world but if your recruitment is pants then you’re going to struggle. Our recruitment since Alexander left has been absolutely shocking!

Tony Daws wanted to release Cribb a few years ago…
Have we seen anything of Cribb yet to be outraged by this statement?

Was at the game today and watched Cribb closely…I’m sorry but how the hell is he making the starting lineup at the moment!? Looked lost and didn’t get anywhere near the opposition. The one or two times he was actually in possession he gave the ball away. Then to read Hill’s post match reaction saying he thinks he matched up to Ebou Adams. Absolutely no chance!
Dan Gallimore on the other hand, looked very promising at centre back.

Hill’s more than disappointed…he’s done worse than Cox which is an almighty achievement!

I’d imagine some conversations went along these lines:
SE: Peter, why is your son head of recruitment?
PS: Because Coxy really, really wanted him to be, even against my wishes.
SE: Cox isn’t here anymore, perhaps we should look to make a change?
PS: How dare you disrespect my family!!
SE: Ok byeeee1 user thanked author for this post.
I honestly think we’d have more points now if Cox remained in charge.

Oh to be 2-0 up under Hill with his supposed January reinforcements…hasn’t happened yet!

Just saw the lineup, probably the weakest bench I’ve ever seen. Why isn’t Burns starting?
