When will the first be signed

Quoted from pontoonlew

I’ll moan if anybody else uses that old washed up excuse that you’ve just used. This narrative that we couldn’t possibly get a striker who can score goals is absolutely nonsense and it gets churned out on here window after window, whilst other clubs in our division (a lot with smaller budgets) manage to achieve it.

Quoted from Simon

The good thing about football is we are all entitled to our opinion be it good or bad, i have never liked Hursts style of play but that is just my opinion

Facts are facts, he has got us two promotions and i applaud him for that achievement especially the last promotion because it was my worry we would be down there a while just like last time

But those three games aside we are very poor and very easy to beat, take the game against Salford a sloppy goal in the first minute, that happens and we rallied and upped our work rate to really get at them and get the equaliser but then we just switched off, almost like we were happy with a point as early in the game as that which invited pressure on us when at home we should have been taking it to them

Youth, Hurst doesn't give the youngsters a chance. I was fooled by Holloway and the reason why he was here but what did he see in some of the youngsters that Hurst doesn't, Ben Grist a fine example, Louis Boyd another, gets his debut under Hollowhead then nothing not seen for 18 months, something Dave Moore touched on in his interview in his day we had seven local lads playing, we are never going to attract the top players here but why can't we produce our own just got to believe in them and give them a run in the team. In our current squad Hunt, Richardson, Tomlinson, Essel etc give them a go

Wow that post by Simon slipped the net by me! Ben Grist was signed for a decent sum before he could realistically even be given a chance! Most times I've had a glance at the youth team results in the last 2 seasons, Boyd hasn't even started!

It's hard to throw a young lad in when you're under pressure to get promoted or survive.

Ethan Robson, Elliott Embleton and more. Hurst does have an eye for a young player and is willing to play youth or younger players if good enough.  Think we are a striker and a creative midfielder away from a decent side. Especially on today's evidence

Quoted from Davec

Hurst didn't sign Robson or Embleton

Quoted from aldi_01

Do they though? Just because they sign someone in that position doesn’t mean they’re any good…wanting a striker and wanting and getting one that scores regularly are two very different things…

I mean Stockport are paying one a shed load of cash and quite frankly, he may as well have sat with me today…
