When we brought him back we had main men like Kelly, Dabo, Rose, Walker, Godden injured with no dates on their return reducing our match day squad, he had to come back imo.

I do think it's a shame for Eccles we didn't send him back out.
Doesn’t seem that long ago that this lot beat us 4-0

He's right footed. He's done well at Cambridge, definitely has potentialI rate Drysdale, he might surprise us, is he right or left footed be a bonus if he was left.
Revenge for not selling us Andrew DriverGood to see Kasta winning over the Hearts fans...
Just thought thatNot seen @SlowerThanPlatt on here for a while.
He made it to HTGood to see Kasta winning over the Hearts fans...
Not surprisedHilßner played 70mins as an Attacking Midfielder in a 3-4-2-1 in a 2-1 win for Oldham. Pretty poor performance & struggled physically though by all accounts.
Doesn’t appear that Curle wants to play him where he was playing before. Oldham fans were saying he was first name on the team sheet under Harry KewellHilßner played 70mins as an Attacking Midfielder in a 3-4-2-1 in a 2-1 win for Oldham. Pretty poor performance & struggled physically though by all accounts.

It's a shame for him really as he's essentially packed up his entire life and move to the UK in an attempt to further his career and it just hasn't worked out.
However, if he's struggling to cope with his fitness/weight in L2, then without beating around the bush, he's got little hope of making the grade in the Championship, or even in L1. Regardless of what league we're in come summer it's probably best for both parties if he finds himself another club.
For me, at least he's going out there & giving it his best, unlike Kastaneer for example. He had been doing very well at Oldham but as @Ccfcisparks said, the change of manager has seen him played in a myriad of different roles. He even played at wing-back in one recently!
I think given the timing of his illness this season he obviously didn't get a proper pre-season in either so hopefully he does this time & we will make a fairer judgment then.
Another stupid signingHillsner will never play for the first team here, he looked fat at Swindon and despite playing a dozen games or so at Oldham, still looks that way. He might be heavy set but something is awry.

He will be in and around the squad if we get relegated 100%He was doing well in a deeper position - a position that we're already packed with players and one that isn't even his strongest position to play in.
What specifically concerns me with Hillsner is that he's 14 games into his time at Oldham and questions are still being raised about his conditioning. Baring in mind this is in L2 which is far more forgiving with regards to fitness and conditioning than the Championship.
Regardless of his illness and lack of pre-season, he's had ample time to get up to speed and it just clearly hasn't happened for whatever reason.
Another stupid signing

It's not so much stupid as every transfer comes with its associated risks and dipping into the European market is always precarious. However, I simply can't fathom why the club is insistent on dishing out 3-year contracts on European players like party bags.
I've said it before, it would be far more appropriate that a 2-year contract with a 1 year extension clause in the club's favour is offered otherwise they're leaving themselves open to unnecessary risk. As shown with Jobello, Kastaneer and now Hillsner.
He wouldnt be in the squad as a AM. I guarantee he would be one of the centre midfielders. We would lose Hamer, James and likely Sheaf. Hes a cheap replacement.I wouldn't say 100% at all.
If we're to go down we'll likely have Allen, Jones, Bapaga and Shipley (O'Hare will probably be sold) fighting for a spot in the attacking midfield position/s.
Unless he's content with barely featuring I suspect he'll be moved on. Like I said, it'd be best for both parties.
Unlikely FP. He already has a job and could have applied for settled statusI know we were in the transition period when we signed HIllsner so it might be moot, but is there a potential visa related issue?
I’m sure his 3 year contract will keep him happyIt's a shame for him really as he's essentially packed up his entire life and move to the UK in an attempt to further his career and it just hasn't worked out.

maybe he was done on a league 1 seasons budget can’t see how we felt he would be close to champ level you can see a player very quick his debut you could see he was a fish out of water these 3 gear contracts are beyond a joke same with kasta etcI wouldn't say 100% at all.

Thank god professional managers don't judge players as quickly as you.I’m sure his 3 year contract will keep him happy

If they did they would of saved a 3 year contract on himThank god professional managers don't judge players as quickly as you.

I have a suspicion Balden likes to review highlights videos and we don't do full comprehensive due diligence.I’m sure his 3 year contract will keep him happy

Baka - saw his highlights reel on a scouting website. It really made him out to be a rough diamond with all the characteristics to be a top player. In reality he displays those every 10 weeks.
Kastaneer - The YouTube video again makes him look top class and we have seen none of that.
Hilsner - looks a player, on YouTube and a a player who scores 30 years stunning goals, in lower level football. Again how many live games did the scouts watch or did we take a punt based on statistics and a highlights reel?
With foreign players it's even more important to go and watch them 3 or 4 times and assess if they have the transferable skills to make it in the English game. Leicester city did that and signed Marhes for about 500k. I am all for signing players from anywhere Japan, Ecuador and USA, who have some great players coming through. But we just need to be better at making sure they are the right fit, Dabo and Hamer have shown it can be done well and I wonder if the same methodologies were used with these two or not?
