Quoted from RichMariner
I sometimes wonder if our fans remember what a total shambles this club was when Hurst came in.

Remember what Holloway left behind? A bunch of non-league strangers from Stourbridge, Aberystwyth and Folkestone Invicta, mixed with kids as young as 15.

In just over a year we've shown all the dross the door, brought in players like Pearson, Fox, McAtee, Taylor etc and got the best out of existing players in Clifton and Waterfall.

We'd won 6 of our last 8 before yesterday - still 1 defeat in 9 - we're in play-off contention and we put in a pretty decent showing against a team above us in the league who haven't lost at home all season and who made the 5th round of the FA Cup.

If Hurst's cautious personality is the only thing left to attack then I'd take that as a massive compliment to how many other things we've improved across the board.


Excellent post Rich

This. Those 4, when you also drop in Nolan, show Hurst can identify and bring in quality central midfielders. *




* Awaiting from some pedant the name of a bang average central midfielder which Hurst brought in.



Even as someone who isn’t Hursts biggest fan that can’t be denied.

Nobody can say Hurst can’t spot a good midfielder

And Luke Summerfield.

Runaway tried to get his Blackpool band together by signing Billy Clarke who worked and Elliott Grandin who clearly wasn't fit.

Louis Boyd hasn't been mentioned since Runaway left but Hurst has brought in a number of decent midfielders. Certainly ones that are an improvement on Rose et al. Hopefully when the shackles are free, we can put that money into our squad and maybe have one of our own. By all accounts we did try to get Hunt permanently in January.

I liked Summerfield, doing well for Halifax, I think he might acually improve our midfield if he signed tomorrow (he won't)

I’m not sure Somerfield is the Safeway for us to go.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

The Luke Summerfield who won several Player of the Year awards in his last season here?
