Just Back

If you set up at home for a nil nil while hoping to get a goal from somewhere you can’t complete when one chance for the opposition wins the game.

Overall percentage or just recent?

You can look at statistics in many different ways.

Well recent, I appreciate the good jobs he’s done pre 2018 (I meant to put 3 years) but with Ipswich, Scunny and now here, the stats are absolutely appalling

Before anyone bemoans injuries suspensions as the cause they had 11 players unavailable today

Should have been 0-0 on balance of play nobody deserved to lose , we created very little but to be honest they wern't much better

We might not have deserved to lose BUT WE DID! And in case you’ve forgot it’s wins and losses that matter. Seven losses out of eight It doesn’t matter how many of those you should have won/drawn the points remain the same.

I think the huge difference is that Chesterfield have a lot more strength in depth than us. 11 players unavailable and they look like a team that will be there or thereabouts come what May. They made sure we resorted the high balls and throw ins deep in our own half that they could win all day.

How many throw ins did we have first half level level with our own 18 yard box? The Chesterfield number 12 won the ball from just about all of them.

Not one throw in of theirs was taken where the ball went out. We are too honest and too nice. We need a really horrible, no nonsense central midfielder who wins absolutely everything.

Sorry but I'm not having setting up at home not to lose.
We were toothless upfront, sat back, put 8 men behind the ball and didn't want to attack.
If I'm honest, I feel for the players being instructed to play in that manner, it's awful to watch.
Early on In the season we played neat, tidy football, passed with purpose, pace and took the game to our opposition.
Now we're setting up, 5 at the back, midfield sitting just infront of the defence then a massive gap between them and the front lads.
If anyone now believes Hurst is the man to take us forward, it's time to give your head a wobble I'm afraid and I was very much pro Hurst..
Walked out today and everyone was saying the same thing, they've had enough of the negative tactics

1500 lost home fans since the Yeovil game tells it's own story, i want him to do well but the style we're playing and the results we're getting are doing Hurst no favours.

Can't argue with that.

Off out to get p1ssed. Night all.

I'm certainly no Hurst basher but the way the game panned out today was typical Hurst. We were set up not to get beat and the game was a really tight one, rather than be proactive and look to pull something off, he lets the game coast and then we go behind, enter the more attacking subs and we're chasing the game. Zero bravery and a possible inferiority complex. I understand keeping it tight to try and get a foothold etc but then you have to try something, especially at home, Hurst showed them far too much respect for too long in that game.
