Quoted from Ipswin
They'll 'do a Hurst'. Did well at L1 level (with Shrewsbury) then moved up to a struggling Championship club and just wasn't up to the job. A step too far same for these two.


He's been consistently superb for years now. I think he'll make the step up no problem.
Braintree: playoffs
Lincoln: champions, playoffs, champions, good start in League 1.
There can't be another lower league manager who gets anywhere near that.

I don't think they'll struggle, they're clearly a lot better at management than Hurst. If you look at how bad Lincoln were when they took over, sometimes getting gates below 2000 and finishing lower mid table in the NL, they turned them around in one season to become champions.

When Hurst took over, Town were in a bad way but not quite as bad as Lincoln were and in his first full season (admittedly with Shouty as well) he improved the finishing position a whopping 0 places. He never challenged for the title, let alone win it and that was with far more years and money to work with. Hurst was excellent at getting a good team spirit and getting the team to work hard and be organised but that was it really. He seems to have struggled with that as well since not having any of his favourite players signed. Tactically he was often out-thought by managers who had part-time players at their disposal and I can only remember one time where his substitutions or tactical changes played to our advantage (away to Aldershot when Bogle came on). I can remember lots of times when his substitutions did nothing or actively made us worse.

If we’d have lost to Braintree in the play-off semis then Hurst would have surely left the club and these two would have been ideal candidates to take over. Huddersfield are in a bit of a mess at the minute but there is plenty of time for them to steady the ship and turn them round next season. They’ll be fine.

Why is there a photograph of Nigel Batch in the Stacy West banner?
Did he play for them?

Yes him and Bob Cumming played for them when they became the first team to be relegated from the Football League which I believe was 1985 but could have been the following year.
