I find it so frustrating that most other clubs in the Championship are strengthening but yet we are happy to just stick with our waffer thin squad. We didnt have to make a permenant signing but lots of clubs are sorting out season/6 month loan deals. I know the loan window doesn't close today and we will probably bring in loan players in the coming weeks but this was a chance to give the fans a lift by getting some new faces through the door. I think that would have been the best policy, try and create a bit of a buzz. Esepecially as I expect the gate tomorrow to be the lowest in ages after recent results.
Keith hill should have spent the last 3 days phoning up every league one and two side and begging them to take Foster, Wiseman, Edwards and Collins off our hands and then brought in two solid defenders to replace 4 who aren't upto the job.
Hill did his buisness early on,they are injured but I thought he said some time ago he was only looking at loans and probably when Prem teams had settled their squads.
Would you have been as frustrated if we had draw all three league games? I still believe we have a decent squad and these no need for panic buys!
where's his business to replace edwards who he clearly thinks is a great big pile or turd, collins who he evidently wouldn't trust on a football pitch if he was the last man on the planet, wiseman who everyone but 3 people realises is about as good a defender as stephen hawking or foster who he's just dropped for being awful? He didn't do any business at all to correct this huge problem.
Thats a bit like a relegated chesterfield fan being told 'would you be saying we were **** if we'd won the league last year and were currently sitting at the top of the championship instead of getting relegated and doing badly in the bottom league?'
Keith Hill is obviously of that opinion because even after being right royally shafted at the back week after week he still refuses to let him anywhere near a football pitch.
It's weird, cos I can only actually really recall him in one game. At Blackpool. Mom for me that day too.
But a massively different goal difference due to goals conceded and it is the poor defence that people are complaining about. Had we not let those goals in then perhaps people wouldn't be complaining but then that does make the chesterfield analogy a fair one. IF we were brilliant we wouldn't complain, we're not, we're **** at the back so people rightfully complain.
But that's making a judgement without having hardly any of the facts. We don't know what happens in training, if he's carrying a knock and is going on the bench becuase of the injury crisis, if he sees him as a left back but feels Goldbourne deserves a chance after the Middlesboro performance, etc. I think Hill has shown a huge amount of faith in a young player who was playing League Two football up until February last year
