Two things:-
Were Davis & Kenyon Cox’s choice.
Signing two players from a team just promoted from L2 should have been excellent business, why they turned out to be two duds is a mystery.3 users thanked author for this post.
The benefit (hopefully there is one) this time is that the players coming in all appear to have a previous connection to Hill, so he knows what he’s getting. In the recent past it would appear the manager was given a series of surprise packages to play with.

You won’t be missed. I’d rather sit/stand with 1500 fans than 4000 ‘customers’. Good riddance.
You really don’t get it do you.

He is if he’s fit which Millen doesn’t seem to be.

IIRC the club made the decision not to reveal the names of players affected by Covid. If players are absent then we have to guess why. Things are clearly bad when players unsighted for weeks/months like Wood and KDT suddenly make the squad and get on the pitch.

“the lad got loads of grief for not scoring and was quickly cast asisde.”
A player driven out by fans? I thought we had the only fans that behaved that way.

Disappointing to read the article and learn he’s not played since September 2020. How close to match fit can he be?

Ah right so Cox didn’t sign Billson, Millen, Davis, Thompson, Kenyon, Scrimshaw, Wood, Hackney?
You’re a bit behind, Cox isn’t the manager anymore. I’m sure you know how many of those were Swann snr/jnr signings, the only ones Cox admitted to were Hippo and KDT.

I can’t believe that. After getting new owners I thought they’d be storming the league.
At least they have some nice food to keep the ‘customers’ happy.If a club has new owners that back the manager with funds for signings and the results don’t come then the blame lies fairly and squarely with the manager and players. What’s your point?

Lucky for us it’s football not boxing. RSF 32 minutes.

The club took out the loan surely?
Who signed the agreement?
Who used the money?
Who has overall control?
Who bears the responsibility?2 users thanked author for this post.
Who’s money are you wanting to use to pay off the loan?
Well perhaps the money of the person that took out the loan. I believe that’s normal practice, my money pays for my mortgage, I don’t expect anybody else to pay it for me.

‘Everything possible’ within given parameters is more likely, like the manager I suppose. Simon seems to be working on healing the rift between the Telegraph and the boardroom at the moment. Whilst it needs doing there are more pressing issues IMO, with little time remaining.

He was, at best, an average RB when he was here before. We have Millen, Green, Pugh, Rowe and Matheson who have all played RB this season, do we need a 6th RB more than somebody who knows where the net is? No answer necessary.

He said that last week though. Still another 10 days for players to find somewhere better before here is their only remaining option.

The loan is restrictive and that is the main problem. As I understand it:-
We can’t pay a fee
Squad size is limited
We can only offer 1 year deals (although we appear to have sneaked a couple in)
As we know we’re no longer paying big wages (rightly) and our league position is ‘precarious’ we have precious little to recommend us. However it is within the club’s power to improve the situation should they wish to.6 users thanked author for this post.
I really don’t want to put a downer on a young player trying to make a career in football but Pugh shouldn’t be walking into our team. Hill’s idea that the more you run the more chance you have of winning games has limited appeal for me. I’d far rather see some players who can use their brain, control the ball, pass accurately and shoot straight.

I think Hill has improved the team, sadly not enough to have improved the results.

Don’t worry, won’t be here long. First hint of criticism and he’s off.

Two things:-
The fact that we have a “loan” in itself means that it will have to be repaid sometime. Why not now? Is it being left outstanding to become a liability for any new owner?
Regarding Zanzala – would it have led to a different outcome had we been in a position to buy rather than loan? Maybe a 2 year contract would have had more appeal than a 6 month loan.2 users thanked author for this post.
