Overrated player. All heart, no substance. Poor distribution and at fault for far too many goals.

I agree.....wore his heart on his sleeve yes he did.... but spent most of his time on his arse when he was here.
 
Rose tinted glasses , yeah he gave his best and had a big heart but he was never the player some make him out to be , i would like him as back up maybe but im just not sure he can cut it week in week out as first choice . When we look back at a player we liked we often see things that wernt there , still good luck to the lad even if he does return in some way .
 
Remember Keane coming on as a substitute when only a young lad running around like a headless chicken wearing shorts that seemed far too big for him.
 
I've never really understood how popular Matt Hill was with North End fans. He tried hard and had a good leap on him but his distribution of the ball was appalling and he was as injury prone as Callum (well, almost). Nonetheless, given our predicament at left-back at the moment he would do for me and he'd probably be quite well suited to that wing-back role.

I would be quite happy for Hill to return, but wing-back would surely not suit him? If you recall, he was always sound defensively, a good tackler, but going forward he was usually found wanting. He often gave the impression of not knowing what to do when in an advanced position, as his goalscoring record indicates-although I understand he recently scored a belter for Barnsley. I would still have him back though, as a conventional full back.

More than a belter, he ran 50 yards, latched onto the ball, past numerous players and then beat the keeper to slot home. Never seen him do that here, altho he did threaten. He was an extremly reliable fullback and we have been short ever since he left.
