It was obvious from the beginning that he wanted the players he felt comfortable with, so he wasted that first month and thought it would come good after the window. His signings have been worse and have not settled at all. Most of them know how he wants to play, so why do we look so disjointed?
I saw on Twitter there was a bad reaction from Payne on being substituted. That is not a good sign so early on as I thought he wanted a tight-knit group all pulling together.
May have been down to the tactics but I thought Payne was poor today, might as well have played Gibson.

The same people suggesting Payne being frustrated about going off are the same people complaining the players don’t care. I really don’t see how you think the January signings are worse than what they replaced. Do you want Green and Macca back or were you one of those slating them a month ago.

The things I’ve been most surprised about since Hurst’s return are,
- The formation, for someone who swore by 4-4-2 he hadn’t half fanny’d about with the formation and selections.
- His signings Eastwood, Adams and Mattette all decent but Mayo, The lad from Ipswich, Lennie, Coke and despite a good debut from the bench I’m not sure about Payne.
- How bad we are at the back and how we’ve not moved forward one bit.
His job is safe though.

I don't rate Green but could he have done any worse than Payne today?

I cant say I have ever been a massive PH fan BUT when we got him back I expected him to shore up the defence and make us harder to beat? I have found it quite alarming how many players have been shipped out and what quality they have been replaced by because to me I fail to see much of an upgrade? Personally I think with most Manager`s and the PH type in particular you have to give them time but should we go down he needs to go if were not top two after 12 games like posted elsewhere (no excuses).

As the real Yoda would say:

Weird. I was gonna say you got the wrong vowel but as soon as I clicked on this the real spelling was revealed but disappeared when I posted.

My comment was a bit tongue in cheek, however if we go down without even a decent fight of it I would hope he would have the decency to resign at the end of the season if we do. Let's hope it doesn't come to that.

So Hurst is getting the blame for not being able to attract amazing players to town when we’re near the bottom of league 2. The suggestion that he’s had the equivalent of a pre season when we’ve had games coming thick and fast is a joke. So is the idea that we’ll get relegated and remove an manager who has experience of getting us promoted from the conference already. We’ll bring someone else in who will sign their own players, any advantage from parachute payments will be lost and we’ll sink like a stone. Still those who get a kick out of slagging off players and managers will have plenty of new targets.

Interestingly when Hurst came it was described as a win, win situation for him. If we stay up he's a hero. If we're relegated it's holloway and fenty's fault.
