JS where are you.!!!!

Got fed up of hearing   in Hurst we trust , Like i said more than one   Trust no one

If we are looking for someone to blame for our current situation I think Hurst has to take the lions share.

Hurst's clearly failed, excepting Rose, to bring in players that made us competitive in this division. His management of the goalkeeping situation was criminal. Leaving us with one decent striker, especially after allowing Orsi to leave was crazy. He failed to provide anything resembling an effective midfield or defence..
So it's is no wonder that we have  been so poor this season.

Artell inherited a poor squad, and it is notoriously difficult to make vast improvements in the January window. He has made a couple of decent signings, but his tactics and game management have been poor and so there has been little or no improvement in results. So he has to take some of the blame, but not as much as Hurst.

Seems a bit hit and miss with the in game management and substitutions. A couple of weeks ago there were comments on here saying how refreshing it was that he was so proactive. I don't think it was that straightforward on Saturday and nobody would've moaned if we had won. I did think we needed a pacey winger on with 20 minutes to go which didn't happen.

Yeah it was quite bemusing that he didn't make any, given the introduction of Andrews and Wood against MK Dons in the exact same scenario I would argue won us the game as it freshened us up and made us a lot harder to play through.

Not that i need or should make excuses for Artell but perhaps he had already learnt about his father and his head wasn't in the right place ?

Whilst his game management hasn't been inspiring He hasvery rarely been inactive like Hurst

JS where are you?

I believe he is on holiday in the Maldives for a further week.

If we go down: we need huge changes at the club. We can not carry on being a up and down league 2/conference team. This will eventually lead to our demise. We need to be much better than that and put some distance between us and the bottom of league 2 if we are to survive long term. With that in mind i would look to a fresh start and sack all the coaching staff and manager at BP. I would also trim down the office staff back to the levels we had before the take over. The owners then need to take a good look at themselves and decide if they want a club with ambitions or are happy to flounder where we are now. If they want to progress then they need investment in the club and that should be their number one priority.
Secure investment, appoint the right manager with a good track record and put all our resources into the playing side of the club.

Ah, yes. Sacking office staff (who, I would imagine, have been employed for a reason) always improves the results on the field.

It's why Man City's club shop is run by one man and his dog and they don't bother to do any marketing.

If the worst did happen I would rather we made the least people redundant as possible off the pitch and keep the good infrastructure imorovements going , while trying to implement the model of bringing young players through - build the squad around Gardner,Khouri , Tharme , Thompson , Rose ,maybe Hunt as he actually seems to be flying at York now ; they want to sign him if their fans are anything to go by.


I would rather we just stay up though
