You care to explain to me how I was personal? There was 1 throwaway comment referring to the doom and gloom here the last 2 Saturday's which you surely should have seen. You said "Optimism is fine on the day of the match, in between matches, Realism should rule your head.". The implication being that people who support Hurst aren't realistic or using their brain. You really need to take your own medicine in terms of not getting personal.
Buckley 3 was dreadful and a clear indication you cannot go back. He'd likely be doing worse and isn't the same manager as he was. The game has moved on.
What do you mean by we only have 1 gear? Was that same gear deployed at Gillingham and Wrexham? Many said we had great first halves and poor second halves in some games. Bradford and Crawley for example. The problem is, we start well and don't maintain that level. When things go wrong, we haven't got the impact from the subs bench to change that. Some would argue that is a Hurst problem when he doesn't change it, but some would argue we have a number of attacking players out that gives us limited options to change things.
Oh dear, I've upset you. Some people are blinkered/have their head in the sand, others are fine with the situation, others are sceptical (I am in that camp.) to---- Sack PH NOW, others want the Guillotine used on PH and Doig, and the New Board, and the Tea Lady. Broad Opinion. Which one are you? We do have one gear. "Many said we had great first halves and poor second halves in some games. Bradford and Crawley for example" Yes, well, we played the same way all match, it's just the opposition sussed us out and played differently/better, changed up a gear down a gear, pushed up, regrouped. Sussed us out, and took the they created. Its not Magic. To say we have nobody on the bench to turn the tide is actually demeaning to PH. Its his squad, hence his bench. A change of pace, fresh legs, a player who doesn't mind mixing it with the opposition, all alter the shape of the game. We don't do any of that, hence its one gear, same old same old. But don't worry, perhaps we might sign Roy of the Rovers in January, and he'll come off the bench every game and score 2 goals. Onwards and upwards, Swindon next, we'll get a result here, might even pinch 3 points.

I'm not upset. You implied I was personal, I showed you the mirror and you had no retort. Rather than admitting you were wrong, you're going to try and imply I'm bothered by what you said. A wee bit fragile, but whatever. Projection is strong. Your post just wasn't remarkable enough to affect my mood. Sorry, buddy. I think I've made it clear what my position is, so it's weird you ask where I am. I general don't do bandwagons. "To say we have nobody on the bench to turn the tide is actually demeaning to PH." Not really. It's an objective fact that we've had Khan and Wilson out. Lost Rose and Eisa for one game. Rose and Maher for another. Lost Vernam before he even got started. Pep was complaining recently about having 5 players out. Seems Hurst isn't allowed to be affected by injuries.... I fully expect things are going to improve as Khan and Wilson get their fitness and sharpness back, and Rose comes back. I'm a fresh pair of legs. If Hurst brought me on, we'd probably concede a handful. A pair of legs on their own aren't useful. You need to players that can affect the game and take those opportunities when they come.

The Teal lady? Do we employ ladies based on their shade of green? Is it only shades of green? Have we uncovered a colour bias in recruiting essential non playing staff? (is teal a shade of green or blue?)

On the border isn’t it. Think teal likes a bit of blue, much like your good self.

Its the colour of the Green Tea she brews, hence Teal Lady, and the brew is quite refreshing and good for you. She told me after reading the leaves, that Town are good for a draw, and might even nick the game at Swindon. Must be right
