Positive or Negative Reception For Hursty

Quoted from FishOutOfWater

Partly agree with you about those pesky pub teams.... they still had to be beaten though

I think he struggled at times against some of the "bigger" teams where his tactics never really convinced me that he wanted to win badly enough... far too conservative for my liking  

As for Shouty, who can say if he'd stayed whether or not we'd have been promoted quicker if he'd not gone than with just Hurst in charge.... might have happened but then again we might still be down there, trying without any success to get back in to the league with "no facking manny" ( or a competitive budget as our leader calls it!!     )

Trouble is we struggled against some of those so called pub teams as well.

Quoted from TownSNAFU5

We probably would also have been promoted earlier if we had had a decent referee against BrIstol Rovers.  

I agree and a ref who played to the rules of the game, not his own rules.  

Quoted from Ipswin

FFS how much longer is that going to go on for? (and who says we would have won anyway)

For as long as people still suggest we only got promoted because of a penalty against Braintree?

Seen as he got dogs abuse while actually managing us in the playoff semi finals, I’ve no doubt he’ll get a load of abuse on Saturday from the same nobheads who wanted him sacked ahead of the playoff final and cried when he cupped his ear.

Give me that team we had in our first season back in league two while he was here any day of the week. We’ve been crap ever since.

I'd rather have the team that got us back in L2

Can't agree more!

But with Ben Tomlinson in for Bogle, obvs.

Neutral reception for me, if we could turn back time and Fenty didn't break his promises on us becoming a more professional outfit and he'd have stayed content with our ambitions then I'd snap your hands off.

We certainly wouldn't have diced with relegation and been through all the rigmorale we've been through since. We'd be a well organised outfit keeping us shape building and evolving year on year.

I didn't like the ear cupping and letting Podge leave was a massive balls up, but just think, what was it 4 and a half thousand Town fan's at Notts County just before he left? We took thousands all over selling out often, compare that with the apathy now.

Agree pretty much I don’t think we’re in a place to give him any form of reception TBH, I’m planning to just look in the other direction when we go 3 - 0 down.

The fact this hasn’t been a sell out for weeks says everything TBH

Quoted from Mallyner

A ref who played to the rules of the game.  

I might have not worded that well, what I meant was the rule of the game is, if a keeper handles the ball out of the box, he should have been given a red card.

The Rovers keeper definitely stopped a goalscoring chance with his arm, which I be!ieve would have put us 2 up; but didn't the ref say he didn't want to spoil the game so early on? Which could have robbed us of promotion from the Conference a year earlier.
