Djmiles is spot on with his assessment, Hinsh is one of the best full-backs I have seen at the Albion in over 30 years following the team, but his development and career have been ravaged by injury...if you can keep him fit then it is a pretty astute signing.
Plenty of ' Championship mileage ' under his belt, so the experience is there. Oliver is a man mountain but imho is a bit immobile and is being found out by the quicker players in Div.1. Whats happened to Duberry...he played virtually the whole of last season for Reading ( in the Championship ) A fit Hinsh playing alongside Duberry should sort you out.
p.s Russell Slade turned down the chance of Duberry pre-season....said he was too old.....and yet we are all saying at BHA that we need a ' Guy Butters ' type at the back.
good to see that he is keeping fit and has moved a little further up the football league pyramid (even if it is inevitable that Wycombe will get relegated at the end of the season). Good luck to him. He will do well if (fingers crossed) he stays free of injury.
Adam Hinshelwoods own-goal was indeed a mistake - he had all the time in the world to direct his back pass correctly (basically almost anywher except at the goal), and fluffed it.
I'm very glad for Colin Hawkins that his own-goal is on show (pity his name isn't in the title, as some of his detractors should watch and learn). Free Real-Player won't play in slow-motion, but this clip nevertheless shows the two Hartlepool strikers that were poised ahead of their markers for the easy tap-in they were ready for if Hawkins missed.
If the Hawks amazing diving header had been just milliseconds earlier, the ball would have skimmed the outside of the post - and he would be hero, not villain.
Hinshelwood remains respected, Hawkins villified; nobody mentions the markers who were outwitted by the strikers, nor the defender who failed to prevent the cross in the first place.
Before that injury against reading( the same game that cheat Forster punched one in) he had so much potential , i really rated him, if he can stay injury free he will do well.
