Empty words

The SQUAD wasn't reinforced enough for sure just mediocre players , if your going to think about going 'direct ' as Paul says he is at least get the players to do it , seems at times we still play like we have LJL or he wants to play that way but we havnt got the players - even off the bench to change things have a couple of lumps like Trevor Benjamin or Jon Parkin if your wanting to go down that long route .

Mr 4-4-2 lumpituptop has never had a plan b.

And he kept going on all week how they are working on what they have learned playing braintree in the season to make sure mistakes arent repeated , well barry chuckle must have been taking training because that was a joke if you have put any thinking into that tonight.

Talk about the blind leading the blind.

Quoted from MuddyWaters

Paul Hurst said pre-match that they had been working on lessons learned a fortnight ago. Well he wasted his time.

Once again, like for like subs, like for like performances, like for like result. Paul has all the personality and passion of a wet night in Rotherham. All change!

There is a saying that if you keep dong things the same way you get the same outcome. Well we played the same way against Brintree as we did a few weeks ago and once again failed to score. PH said in his interview that we do not have a big physical centre forward to aim for up top. Correct so why spend 90 mins launching high balls and crosses onto the heads of Braintree defenders. They just stood there waiting for it, easy.. Not once did anyone actually run at them into their box. Even when we had acres of space to do so we still launch crosses from deep. It was so easy for their defenders to stand and watch us as we passed the ball sideways or backwards. If we were trying to lure them out it clearly failed as they were happy to sit tight at the back. The crazy thing is we all knew that is how they would play but we did not vary our approach at all. Disappointing because a 2-0 lead would have been enough to see us to Wembley.,

Half the problem is the daft happy clappers on here still giving Hurst the time of day , he's been a consistent failure since arriving here and the bottom wipes still hang off his every word . Hurst out now and give us a slight chance on Sunday

I think you will find the happy clapping finished long ago Grimps.

It's strange because at one point he seemed really Keene on us being able to play some sort of 4-3-3/4-5-1 formation , persevering with it all one pre season , but it got shelved never to be seen again. He seems to really enforce keeping "us shape" which is fine without the ball but with it doesn't shift the opposition around much , we look a very rigid team .

Paul said: "I've got a full fit squad to choose from and obviously with that a few decisions to make.

"We've trained every day. Monday was light but after that we've done quite a bit of work on Braintree and what we can do to try and cause them some problems .

"You want a group that are keen and eager to play and there's going to be a few disappointed lads come Thursday night. But at the same time you've got to keep that unity, things can change very quickly, whether you are on the bench, or maybe some-one gets an injury for the second leg.

I can't see anyone putting their hand in their pocket for another operation promotion while Hurst is still in charge.

He has to go, no two ways about it.

Quoted from golfer

he wasn,t included because if we,d won it would have made him look a bigger tw*t for not playing him before.All these results since January, inc. Gateshead, Halifax etc. must surely prove a point. How can a teams confidence dive so dramatically. I hope hes gone before the retained list is finalised.

I think Clay me have been carrying a knock, but I would pick him over that scouse fanny dancer Nolan any day.

Nolan was by far and away our best player in the first half but faded in the second when we ran out of ideas.

Quoted from arryarryarry

Nolan was by far and away our best player in the first half but faded in the second when we ran out of ideas.

Really??? Is that despite surrendering the ball on half dozen occasions, sitting deep and dwelling on the ball and allowing them to get tight to our offensive players and going into challenges with other Town players to win balls.

If Nolan had the energy, work rate, drive and desire of Richard Tait he would be a half decent player.
