Quoted from Mariner_09
What were Hurst's teams? They were solid, doggid, hard working grafters. A midfield of Summerfield, Berrett, Comley and Chambers ticked all of those boxes. Marcus has come in and decided that we can't have that mentality and brought in players such as Maxwell, Gunnning and Asante! What have those 3 combined offered so far?


Re-wind to the first few months of the season and that was, to a lot of people, exactly what was wrong with Hursts teams, same the year before. Amazing how time changes opinion...

You also have to remember he had Omar who could grab goals out of nothing.

It's all the fault of Travelodge for not giving us a deal we could afford.  


No go, we've only budgeted for the Villa Bella type of establishment.....



When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

as Greavsie used to say.....its a funny old game.....tonight we fell foul of a deflected shot..........on Saturday it was an own goal that killed off the opposition.....swings and roundabouts.

However .....cant fathom why MB would bring Davies back in out of the cold for an away game against the form side or why you start with a pretty much untried strike partnership....making 5 changes gave us plenty of new combinations all over the pitch against a team who are purring along...

ifs and buts regards hitting the post and a good save but the end result makes it easy for people to criticize.

Roll on Saturday. UTM

I'd imagine that Pompey's wage bill is at least two or three times ours so you'd expect them to have turned us over on their own patch. However, it would have been nice to have made it a bit more difficult for them!

Still waiting for a clear style of play to emerge, which is the main worry. If we don't know what is supposed to be going on, do the players?

Hopefully things will be different next season when Bignot has signed his own squad and they've had a full pre-season to work out how they are going to play.

Glenn Cockerill managed Woking and Winchester, yet his comments are being given more weight than our own manager. Wonder why?

Time for MB to take off his red nose, remove his revolving bow tie and water squirting button hole flower, and lock himself into a room to study obvious football tactics and systems, pick and play a settled side and discover an alternative plan B should it be required.
Until then stick to the old reliable 442 that got us promoted and 7th in the table under that other guy, football is a simple game, if it aint broke don`t try to fix it

Oh well, I for one am just happy we're getting a mid-table position this year.

Did anyone really expect us to win there? I know i didn't.

Two deflected goals, two goalkeeping gaffes, them having all the luck going, which they didn't need to beat us but got anyway, and it's back to clueless manager comments. There are plenty of teams below us who would swap places with us and i think the bigger picture needs to be looked at by some. As i've said before, MB may turn out to be a dud but it's way too early to make that call for me.
