94th Minute Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 Well this qu came up earlier today, and there were a range of reasons, he just isnt good enough? he isnt in tins plans? tns wants to give the youth players a chance? well its none of these. Its actually because him and Anyinsah are the same person, i cant get pictures of them both on the forum,(i cant get the address thing of it). They are both left footed, and like to make attacking runs, and most scarey of all hill only came on when Anyinsah came off ( for extra security this change happened at 1/2 time, and in the announcements the sub given wasnt Anyinsah for Hill, this was clearly to make people less suspicious) Also i cant recall an occasion when these two played at the same time. Disclaimer:some of the examples of reasons given may never have acctually been given at any point, i couldnt be bothered to do my research.Also i dont acctually have the answer, i am mearly guessing (notice the 'think' in the title. I also hold no responsibilty for embarressment cause to yourself by bringing up this idea in a conversation (some idiot on the forum told me it is not an accecptable excuse) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fRed Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 I can see Hill warming the bench a lot this season if Coles, Fortune and Woodman stay fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albany P reds Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 One point to make though, i did'nt see the trademark "slice the ball into oblivion" last night which was encouraging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robjames Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 Hill has been carrying a slight injury and they are concerned not to strain this. Look at the defence last year!!!! Smith, Butler,Coles,Hill will do for me, mind you woodman is a very promising player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rob Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 I think Matt Hill is sadly too short to be a full back and when he comes up against big centre forwards such as the likes of Steve Howard he is always going to stuggle. Fortune and Coles for me no question should be our centre back pairing mind you i still dont think we have a decent left back at the club. Woodman- Lacks strength Hill- Lacks distribution and attackign ability Bell- Lacks pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We cant afford errors so Butler and Coles in back for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
court_bcfc Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 Hill probably didnt start because it was a friendly. So tins wants to find out how different players play alongside eachother. and he knows that hill can play with the rest. So he was just experimenting i think.

Port Said Red Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 I think Matt Hill is sadly too short to be a full back and when he comes up against big centre forwards such as the likes of Steve Howard he is always going to stuggle. I have never noticed this being a problem for him, at Leicester in the cup he consistently beat Brian Deane in the air, and that is the norm not a rarity. He may be short but his timing and the height he can reach make up for that. PS. The history books put Billy Wedlock at about the same height and it didn't stop him playing at centre-half. Hill- Lacks distribution and attacking ability, the first one, yes I agree although his distribution did show signs of improving it is still erratic (and thats being nice). I do think he improved generally going forward and getting the odd shot in though last season. Having said that Clayton's distribution is far superior and some of his passes in the second half last night, were almost Tinman-esque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
