How much longer??

Enough is enough, you can't defend the indefensible. And before Hill's supporters ( who seem to have disappeared ) start asking who could we get to do better ask yourselves who could do any worse ?

Were down now end of. Owls and Ipswich will spend their way out of it in Jan and other teams are miles away. Us perterbro and bristol are finished. No point sacking hill who could do better with our squad our budget and nothing to bring in in Jan??? The Don will sell davies and steele for a fiver each, Tudgay will be gone come 1st of next month and that will be that. with our average home gate we dont deserve championship football anyway........

Reminds me of Dad's Army:

"We're doomed! We're doomed!"
"Don't Panic!" "Don't Panic!"

It sounds like the game was a bit closer than the scoreline - and there are fine margins between success and failure. The ball going into the opponents' net helps...

But I will be back in England soon to add at least one person to the attendance figures..

I am giving Keith Hill till the South Yorkshire Derby.

Yesterdays result was entirely down to him and his tactics.

1) The side against Burnley were fine, why not stick with them. Instead we introduce a third striker and go all out attack, despite the fact we are shipping goals.

2) Tudgay has been responsible for marking strikers whilst during corners. Why?

Sort it out, my patience is wearing thin.

I accept the fact that Keith is trying his best on the league's tightest budget against foreign owned nothing-clubs like Watford and Cardiff.

However, the absolute state of our defending yesterday (conceding from a corner again, really lads? Is it that hard to defend a simple lofted ball in?) and as mentioned above the fact he went with 3 strikers against the form team in the division means my patience with him is also finally beginning to wear thin.
Other than the 4 game winning run we went on this time last year, we haven't even been able to get back-to-back wins under Hill. Not once have we managed to come from behind to win in his tenure, which is quite frankly pathetic. We always seem to have only 1 win in 8/9/10.
He has brought in some decent attacking players on loan, and done nothing to sort out our shambles of a defence (Wiseman and McNulty are NOT CENTRE-BACKS), not even when presented with an entire summer to do so.

Realistically we haven't a prayer against Leicester (I will still be going though) so as Brighton has said, I think the game against the Fowls on the 15th is going to decide whether our manager stays or goes. I really want the guy to do well but he just keeps getting it wrong time and time again. I don't know who we would or could get to replace him but, and I can't believe I am saying this, as Uboat says, who could do worse than 1 win in 13?

Like others, I want Hill to do well but at the moment there really doesn't seem to be any light at the end of the tunnel. In fact, I'm beginning to doubt whether Hill knows he's in a tunnel at all!

We all know we've needed a decent cb since before Hill came to the club so it's disappointing that a season and a half later we've still got a glaring weakness in that area. We have, however, got 8 full backs at the club!

On the attacking front, I've just read that we've just set a new club record of going 35 games without finishing with 2 goals at the end of a game and we all know how rare the 3, 4 and 5's are.

Looking like we're not so much in a bad run but more we're well down a long steady decline. We could well do with a couple of back to back wins....go on Keef, surprise us all, please.

They'll be a hell of a lot of travelling down south next season .... Bournemouth Pompey Yeovil Bristol x 2 Shrewsbury, Swindon, Gillingham, Brentford, Colchester,
Stevenage Peterborough, Crawley, Orient ...'n only one derby game 'ginst Donnie. If its nice weather though me and are lass will make a nice break against cherries at Dean Court

You kidding? The way Donny are going they'll be passing us in the opposite direction.
Those perennial Blunts bottlers are a different story however...I look forward to renewing acquaintances with them..

What are our options?

Sack Hillcroft? And replace them with who?

Find a billionaire investor with an interest in a South Yorkshire town squashed between two larger cities?

It is not looking good.

Well currently unemployed are;

Gareth Southgate
Owen Coyle
Phil Brown
Nick Barmby
Bryan Gunn
Alan Curbishley
Iain Dowie
Steve Cotterill

It's not finding a manager that worries me, but Keith Hill has a lot of talents and I would rather he masterminded some kind of turnaround.

We need 3 points from the next two games, if we fail to do so, I think we should start to look elsewhere.
