Blimey....

Let me just pose this.....

I fancy that a fairly large proportion of those that still back Hurst are only just able to do so, and many are seemingly just about out of patience if you read several of their apparently candid posts on here.

I'm intrigued to know how things might look given the very distinct possibity that we fail to beat Barrow next week. There is a narrative behind the current 50/50 stats on the poll.

It's funny really because I'm naturally conservative with a small 'c' but it would seem clearly evident that many want to persist with Hurst out of fear of the alternative (don't believe in the board's ability to appoint a capable successor, don't believe there's a better manager  available, don't believe that key players will stay and play for a new man etc..). Now, this is hardly a ringing endorsement for Hurst. It's more about fear of the unknown.

Paul Hurst has been here a long time. He's had astonishing backing in terms of resource and fan support. We can go on and on indefinitely getting into the play off picture and that's alright for some, but there are very clearly established patterns in terms of shortcomings and they can't be denied.

I'm behind him and the team as long as he's here and on match day,  BUT, IMO he was lucky to be retained at the end of the 2013/14 season (I felt he should have gone then), had another shot and failed in the play offs last year (albeit very unluckily) and is almost half way through yet another shot at promotion looking nowhere near a title winning side, and the current stats can't be opposed.

This club needs promotion, but its ambitions are inhibited by fear and the acceptance of the second rate.
