There's More Than Enough To Encourage Hill

After his new side forced a replay with League Two Cheltenham on Saturday, Hill admitted he saw more than enough encouraging football.

“A lot of positives as you can appreciate,” Hill told the club’s official website. A lot’s gone on over the last 48 hours.

“We only had a couple of days on the training pitch with the players, so it was an ideal game to have being the FA Cup and playing against a league side.

“The number one factor you ask for is work rate and commitment for the 90 minutes, whatever you do or whoever you play against, you’ve got to have 90 minutes and people working.

“I take a great deal out of the first half where I thought we were the better side by a long way. I thought that we lacked that little bit of quality in the final third and I think we got round the back of them several times.

“There were some positives there and it didn’t quite go for us. The start of the second half, being fair to them, they got in the game.

“There was a little 15 or 20 minute spell where they grew a little bit in confidence and started to dictate a lot of the possession, but not really cause us too many problems.”
