Any excuse to dust this off

Yeah, you keep saying, ad nauseum.

Would you have appointed Jolley over Hurst?

Thought not.


I think Jolley will come good as he did at the start of his time at Grimsby . Keeping Grimsby up that season was miraculous . If Hurst keeps Grimsby up this season he will equal Jolley

I see that as bad news for us. When do we play them?

Another chance for Runaway to have a sojourn up north.  The problem is that he does not have a transfer window, or two, to mess-up the team further.

(A slight silver-lining from yesterday.  The players are fresh for this Tuesday and did not have a tough game on a very boggy pitch in their legs.  The better weather should also mean we have a better playing surface).

Not the point I’m making, more offering some context as to quite what situation we find ourselves in. Jolley has been sacked for his record, Hurst has been lauded for his.

Didn't see that coming.

A new manager bounce for them would be very bad news for us.

We could’ve done without this, they’ve signed some decent players but Jolley obviously couldn’t get a tune out of them.

A decent manager might stand a chance of turning them around


I thought we had a new manager who was going to turn us around.

Lauded for his past record maybe, but Hurst isn't getting much praise at the moment.

However, given what he has achieved in the past, at more than one club, I think he's more likely to come good than not. Whether he can turn us around in time to avoid the drop is open to conjecture. He inherited one of the biggest piles of cr@p I've seen in almost 50 years watching Town.

It wasn't just a case of inspiring a squad to better performances. It was a complete rebuild of the squad, and that doesn't happen overnight, especially mid season.

I think the time to judge the effectiveness of the appointments here and at other clubs is when the last ball has been kicked this season.
