For me Matt Hill has been the weakest link this season. I don't think he's up to standard for the Championship. Last night at Burnley his passing was woeful.

He seems to lump it up field, instead of playing the ball inside or down the flank along the floor. I understand sometimes this kind of pass will come off, last night there was nobody there when he lumped it.

Maybe with the return of Callum Davidson, Hill will be replaced. I know we're in a fantastic position, every credit to all the players and coaching staff so far! A victory against Leeds will brighten everything back up again come Tuesday night!
 
Re: Drop Matt Hill?

Dont think Hill is totally to blame atky - last night pugh was giving no cover in front of hill allowing Sinclair (who was the dingles best player) to get plenty of dangerous balls over.
Maybe Simmo will freshen it up on Tuesday and put Davidson back in at left back - as you rightly say a win on Tuesday and everything will be rosy again

Yeah I agree!

Pugh didn't have the best of games for North End last night. He rightly so got booked for that lazy tackle.

Bring on the Dirtys!
 
Re: Drop Matt Hill?

Hill and Pugh both disappointed me. I'd like to see Callum introduced for Matty, and possibly Lewis Neal given a run out AFTER the Leeds game.
 
Re: Drop Matt Hill?

I deffinatly feel that it is time to bring Callum Davidson back to LB for Leeds who are going to be a physical side, I dont feel Hill is strong enoughm whereas Callum is.
 
Re: Drop Matt Hill?

I think we definitely need cover and competition at left-back. Hill's too erratic at the moment and Davidson's injury-prone. It's a position that needs improvement.
 
Re: Drop Matt Hill?

Given the lack of 'wingers' currently in the Leeds side, the omission of Hill and inclusion of Davidson could be a good idea.

Get Callum in, some of the challenges he goes into make me cringe but if he's doing it against 'the physical leeds' then it's all good.
 
Re: Drop Matt Hill?

It was a bad night that could have been so different. I believe callum davison to be one of the best footballers outside the premiership. This is no disrespect to any other player. I think that IF we had won 2 -1 ever player would be a hero on this site.
 
Re: Drop Matt Hill?

Definately.

Whilst personally I don't think his defending is all that bad he has the technical ability of a mediocre League One player.
 
Re: Drop Matt Hill?

Will he be up against Steve Stone on Tues? If so, i think he lacks the strength to win that encounter. Maybe Callum would be better suited.
 
Re: Drop Matt Hill?

Dunno, depends on Dennis Wise.

I'm not sure, but for some reason the name Adam Johnson rings a bell from today? Where does he play?
 
Re: Drop Matt Hill?

In my opinion Hill has been our weakest player this season and most of the goals conceeded seem to come from in and around the areas he is supposed to be defending. He seems to have a major problem staying on his feet (remember Zamora's goal at Cardiff ?) and gives the opposition players far too much time to cross the ball.

I know there is a question mark over Pugh's role in proceedings, but left back is our biggest problem at the moment. I am sure Simpson will recognise the issue bearing in mind he played on that side of the pitch. The rumoured interest in Unsworth would really shore up that side of our defence.

Sort this out and then we need to beef up the centre of midfield.
 
Re: Drop Matt Hill?

I think hes getting a bit of stick and could maybe do with a spell on the bench for his own good. I think hes got a lot of potential but is going through a bad patch. I hope Callum starts on Tuesday.
 
Re: Drop Matt Hill?

I would certainly drop Hill. He's largely been very disappointing this season (bar a couple of games) and is most certainly the weak link.

I thought he was great last season, but he seems to be the complete opposite this season. 🙁

Continually outpaced and always out-muscled off the ball.

Shabbagaz......whilst you are the most beautiful woman on the forum bye a mile....and some sort of moderator.....please stfu and let simmo pick the team.

Godforbid that Matty reads this site then what does it do for his confidence? If he's not playing that well and now he's got competition for his place let the manager decide.

We could be top of the league in a week or 2, why is it that we have to look for a weak link?.....!!!!!
