Just back

Football makes no sense . Smash Plymouth last week, then lose against Doncaster 7 days later . The joys of lower league .

Bad day, rubbish performance. The only thing that managed to eclipse that was the few (fortunately always a minority) stupid fans. For example, the idiot shouting at Hurst next to the dugout on his way out.

Quoted from promotion plaice

Gutted, Rugby women also lost in the final, men lost in the semi.

Really hope for the men can do it in the cricket tomorrow morning to lift my weekend.

At least scunny won..........oh wait.

Quoted from Hagrid

Whats more embarrassing is idiots booing taking a stance against racism. unfortunately our small % of braindeads in the fanbase never cease to surprise me

What stance was that? I got to my seat a minute or two late, did I miss something?

Donny took the knee before kickoff.

Same starting 11 .... why not after last week.....not changing it around after 30, 45, 60 mins when it was clear we weren't getting anywhere near their goal was poor.

I saw some of Hursts post match comments and it was clear he was as unimpressed as us fans with elements of the play..........its a shame he didn't remember that unlike us fans he could have actually done something to change it at any point.

It's his job on the line.  If this form continues much longer, it'll be more than a gentle glance over our shoulders, more of the warm breath of the relegation zone looming.  Dramatic maybe, but if he's hung by his own petard, he'll have no-one to blame but himself.

Well, where do you start with that? I would say we were toothless again, but that doesn't quite do it justice. Gumless?

Started poorly, gave them a chance straight away which Max saved, learned nothing from the scare and gave their right back the freedom of the park to pick out the No 9, who had far too much time and space. 1-0 down and already chasing the game.

We spent the rest of the half huffing and puffing and only playing accurate passes among the back four and deep lying midfielders. As soon as we tried to play a progressive pass into the danger zone, it was either cut out, overhit, under hit or mis controlled . Forward pass after forward pass went nowhere. The only time we got behind them all half, Harry failed to capitalise. Not going to get into a debate about whether it was a bad miss or good goalkeeping, but even the best players fail in those moments sometimes.

We start the second half just as poorly and find ourselves 2-0 down from an excellent strike, but he had all the time in the world to set himself.

We are now chasing the game and what have we got? On come McAtee and 2 YTS loanees who have a handful of EFL games to their name and this is what really p1sses me off. We are a League 2 side getting gates of 6/7/8 thousand for home games and we can't come up with any better than that? Simmonds did the square root of feck all and Richardson just ran into dead ends. We are now 3-0 down as their striker scored another good goal. Controlled and finished it brilliantly.

McAtee did what he does and cooly slotted the ball home when the chance presented itself and also brought a save from the keeper. A chance he wouldn't have got had Richardson finished as he should have and not give their keeper the chance to save.

Is that 1 home league win all season? Not really good enough is it?

I'm starting to get bored and disengaged with it all to be honest. Never at any time in the whole 90 mins did I feel we could win that game. We give away 1 goal and we're lucky if we get a draw. Give away 2 and it's a defeat as we never look like we can ever get a sustained amount of pressure on the opposition, never mind score the goals to get us back into a game.

Kiernan isn't and never will be a striker. He has no understanding of where the space is except when the opposing defence let him run into an offside position.

Mid season slump well under way and next weeks opponents are batting way beyond their average, so another toughie and another team above us in the league. We haven't beaten one yet.

These are the key points. The fans do the business but the club is still located where it is and the funds are still what they were. I think we need to get to grips with that we're a mid-table team and lucky to have that spot as those we beat getting here would bite our arm off for it. We aren't a Wrexham with Hollywood money and look where that's got them. We need to work ourselves into the league system again and that means, honestly, being midtable at best.

His job isn't on the line, bar an absolutely horrendous run and relegation.

The owners have complete faith in him, which has its advantages as proved last season.

However it does mean Hurst needs to accept that he cannot work miracles if he continues to gamble that players in demand will "lower their expectations " as a transfer window starts to close.

We need to pay above the going rate for strikers in the next window so we are not left with academy youngsters who are not ready for men's football yet. It is disappointing that we have not yet got a signing that really sets the pulses racing when you consider the financial support the club is getting from the fans.
