Although it was only annan athletic last night after paying particular attention to our 37 year old centre half clint hill it was very noticeable that this guy is an organiser and very good communicator, especially with big kiernan who he was continually in dialogue with the full game and actually talking him through the game for which he looked a more assured defender, you can see a mile off the hill has great experience and played at a very high level of english football, he looks fit and would be a first pick for me, imo clint hill strolled through the game and will in scottish football in general, harry redknapp told us as much when he signed for us as harry was his manager at QPR, looks another accomplished signing by 'the magic hat'

You can only judge him in the premiership let's see how he gets on against a quick striker. Annan offered very little going forward and the same won't be said for Celtic, Aberdeen or Hearts. Far too early to be talking like that.

Davie weir wasn't quick biffo, I agree with u warbs, I said the other day that both our central defenders were still young for the position they play and still had a lot to learn, they should learn from hill and whoever else comes in.

There is no way the defence can be judged for having a 'good display' against Annan, jumping the gun. If we looked ropey against them I'd be more than a little worried.
Hill no doubt has experience and is a communicator but to be honest, I was never a fan before he came here, always saw him as a liability in defence whenever I seen him in the QPR lineup. let's hope its a different story against SPL opposition. He just isn't very mobile, petty rigid looking defender.

Weir was a better player than Hill.

What did Annan offer up front? First half they hardly crossed the half way line and although marginally better second half they still offered very little. Not having a go at the defence just think it's too early to judge how good the signing of Hill will be.

As much of legend Sir Davie is, he wasn't immune to a balls up when he played in defence. I remember a good few times when he was caught out by an attackers pace. He made plenty of mistakes too. Overall he was solid but he is human.

matt gilks touched the ball like 3 times in the whole game so doubt we can say good things about the defence yet!
id still be looking for another cb with more quality!
does anyone know if we are taking the big american.
