Quoted from Maringer
Erm, Bogle scored 9 in 14 League appearances under Hurst. Then another 10 in 13 appearances after that.

Hardly a night and day difference between those records!

I'm not daft enough to think that Bignot should be sacked but let's not try to rewrite history here!

Statistically Bignots record this season has been inferior to that of Hurst but in truth, the difference has actually been pretty much entirely down to Bogle's presence. The points/game record for Bogle's time in the team is pretty much identical to the period when Hurst was in charge. Since he left during Bignot's tenure, the record is obviously much worse as there was no real chance to replace him.


I think if we're going to be fair about it we should compare Bignots and Hursts first seasons in charge, rather than this season. Don't know statistically how that fairs but I imagine it's quite even, think we finished 11th in the conference that year.

As for Bogle  everyone seems to have forgotten how Hurst left him out quite a lot last year, in preference for non-scoring loan players. In fact the relationship looked quite rocky at one point. He didn't start the season as first choice either, rather his form forced him in.

How can you compare any managers first season? Different managers, different league, different squads, different budgets and what people fail to understand on here different times!
