Match Thread

Quoted from Bigdog

A look at the league table would suggest that, but it's ages since we played well, controlled a game or even looked a goal threat..

We have had some good results this season but rarely played well. I think Hurst realises that we aren.t a good team and knows he has problems. How many players could grumble if they were dropped--not many if any except Bogle. Hurst is running out of options but todays team selection was just sheer frustration. [I don't like to use the word " panic"] I know a forum is made up of supporters which we all are but how any of us can say Town have a good team is ludicrous. When was the last time we left a match and said to ourselves "I enjoyed that "

Quoted from Hagrid

So we played excrement and got a draw and a clean sheet? We arent the big fish. In a league any more and some of you really need to start understanding thay, ffs we didnt lose did we

We may not be the big fish but we are in the big fish top 7 of this league. It's not just one game played excrement, we are stuttering and some players need removing from the first team. The question is do we have players who can step up and if the answer is no, then why not.

I cant help but think a point away in league two is a good result regardless.

Don't often disagree with you but I think this smacks of the low expectations syndrome. If the height of our ambition is to get a point at a club that hasn't yet got one at home then we will soon be in the same position they are.

We are in L2. We deserve to be in L2 as much as any other side. But that situation will change unless we start scoring goals and we will not start scoring goals with team selections like today's.

Is our aim for the season going to be mediocrity?

??? We carried loads of goal threat in the first 20 minutes last Saturday. The problem we have is no-one looks terribly confident in front of goal, think that's now 7 since anyone other than Omar scored.

Hurst doesn't like free scoring open games. Bogle started well last year, scored about ten goals, then dried up apart from a couple of pens and Hurst brought in Tomlinson and tightened us up generally. For Tomlinson, read Tuton and it all has an air of deja vu about it. Neither of those strikers look like they could hit the net and don't look like they work with Bogle. Wouldn't be surprised if Bogle is given the hook soon.

That's how I see it.
I'm not demanding a top 3 spot though I don't think I'm being unreasonable in wanting a team with signings like Bolarinwa, Jackson etc and the divisions top scorer in Bogle to have a better goal difference after 12 games than zero.

Quoted from grimps

Can anyone remember when Hurst has one of these tinker moments it actually working ?
There always seems to be half a dozen games a season where you take one look at the team sheet and just know we're going to lose

How did we get on in the end?

Quoted from golfer

Please tell me when I can start calling Hurst again.

Sums up the moronic view of some so called fans unfortunately. Why are you so desperate to slag off the man who did more than anyone else to rescue us from non league obscurity?

Yes, but we still got promoted last season.

Yeah we did, but that wasn't my point.
