Paul Hurst

Quoted from arryarryarry

Not really after 20 years of mostly crap got used to it by now.

Just cannot understand the positivity about Hurst and certain players when we are deep in excrement.

I don't think it is positivity toward Hurst: just an understanding that some of us think he is a good option right now given where we are headed.

I'm not a big fan myself, but since he left last time we have been sliding toward this point and it was an almost impossible task he faced. How many managers have we gone through since back in the EFL? PH is the only one who has built a squad worthy of the name since 2004.

We've all seen the last depressing 20 years, you're not exclusive in the regard.

Doesn't matter what we think anyway, as he will most probably be here next season, so may as well get used to it and see what he can do with proper backing. Then we can judge him.

Quoted from Norseman

He allowed amond, Danny Andrew, shaun Pearson and bogle to leave so how would he have stopped vernam

Funny but Shaun Pearson scored our last goal of the 2016-17 season at home to Plymouth...

It was coincidentally also Danny Andrew's last game for Town

Bogle also left in the January 2017 window, so a good three months after Hurst left

Maybe Bignot brought them all back to the club though after he had left for Shrewsbury?  

I’m assuming we are now certs for the drop.

Looking back at what happened last time, poor Neil Woods was given the parachute cash but knew nothing about the players in the Conference as was or about how to get out of there. So people like Evans at Crawley rooked him with players like Charles Whatsit and this went on for ages. In fairness to the dynamic duo, when they came in from Boston the budget was good but not as good as Woods had that first year.

If Hurst is here next season I would expect some good signings but I would want him to go against type and collect a team by August that will basically last through to May playing the sort of footie that works in the nether regions. In other words, we hit the ground running and no excuses about waiting for players to make up their tiny minds about coming to GTFC.

A new start = no excuses. We don’t want to hear the manager telling us again that the League isn’t won in August, we know that. But a good August with all those games to gather points would do wonders for morale of the players and fans alike.

We are realists but we do not have infinite patience. The very minimum target if we are in the NFL is play offs. Anything else is no good to us.

Sorry to disagree arry but we are no longer in deep excrement. Somebody cut the last thread at Bradford with a headbutt and buried us in the dung pile. The news is the dung pile has an aroma of Fenty, Day, and the rest of board over it.

The good news is that following a trip to the barbers the sweet smell of aftershave is all over BP following the takeover news.

Have you not looked at the League table lately?

Very cryptic DB. Have you been in a beer garden this afternoon????

I have and it doesn't make good reading. 7 points adrift and 6 games left. We, therefore, need 3 wins to match Colchester and hope they and Southend don't get any. Also, we have to take points in the other 3 games.

We have to play Exeter, Cambridge, Bolton, and Morecombe all of whom are chasing promotion. Oldham and Port Vale have little to play for but as we couldn't beat those around us a few weeks ago it doesn't bode well.

I am always the optimist and the maths say we can stay up, but it's like climbing a sheer cliff without a safety net.

No, but I did have a large drop of reality.
