In fairness to Hill, he had no chance at Scunthorpe because of the financial situation there. They have got Conference North standard players.
Was it a one-on-one?
Of course......Feeney
To be fair Walker never got a look in, something that Micky has done far too often
However, the players we recruit need to be good enough to get a look in, and should actually be wanted by Mellon in the first place. In a number of instances - Maguire, Mani, Walker - that obviously was not the case.
Mani or similar was wanted by Micky to play as a lone striker until McNulty joined, helping teammates get used to that to playing wit it. Took a while after that for Micky to get just how poor Mani was.
If you read Mellon's comments when Mani and Maguire were signed it was clear that he was lukewarm at best about both players.
Mellon sounded relatively keen about Maguire when we signed him, though the little we’ve seen of him in action makes me understand Micky’s reservations. On Mani, I broadly agree. Rob Edwards one of the o/s commentary pundits suggested that there was little evidence supporting the issues raised about Walker’s attitude and it was more a question of Micky not wanting him for footballing reasons..
Think it’s more a case of players not being picked because Micky doesn’t fancy them for whatever reason rather than purely attitude issues. While you may be right about Rob Edwards he’s likely to know more than either of us.
