Mansfield thread

Quoted from devs

Hurst had impossible job
He knew (and 99% on here would agree) that squad he inherited was shite
So he had to do something
This squad/team is obviously playing for him
They have passion and fight  - but very little quality
He was never going to attract 5/6 quality players...but players who would care and fight for the club/him

4 unbeaten

It's not good enough for position we are in though

We have so little quality - whether it's Holloway or PH
That's what has killed us

Payne is playing with passion and fight, you're having a laugh.

Difference having a footballer like Spokes on the pitch getting stuck in and showing the ability to pass a ball. Could have won in the end but all too late as usual, Hurst scared to attack till we are losing as usual. At least a few of our players put up a bit of fight, but Waterfall his usual lose a player in the area giving a goal away. Coke just not up to playing twice a week, Green didn't need to come on (did he even touch the ball) and those who moaned about The Shop, he might not have had the best of games but 2 goals from 5 chances aint a bad return so far. Ira never given a pass facing the opposing goal, and laztboy Payne needs paying off now but being an ex Hurst player get the feeling he will still be here next season. Still going down but at least a bit of fight from some players.

51st minute,

Not a goal scoring opportunity but this happened.

Ball was played forward into the area, left hand side of goal and 6 yards area.

Ball wasn’t travelling fast, but Payne showed no interest to chase the ball to keep it live, or possibly make something out of it. Either that or he wasn’t fit enough to move his lazy behind backside

I was fuming as he just watched the Mansfield defender trot along under no pressure to shepherd the ball out for a goal kick.

Payne is the waste of a shirt

I thought Mansfield looked poor and that result added to other results against some of the bottom sides as well as coming up against some of the better sides who were on poor runs and our abject failure to beat those teams sums up Paul Hurst's tenure so far.

If we go down he has to go.

I commented on that to the wife, clearly not bothered.

We would be better off playing one of the juniors.

Quoted from RonMariner

Effectively 11 points from safety with 11 games left.

Need to win 7 from 11 I think.

We've won 1 in 14 so far under Hurst.

Hurst is an anagram of hurts.

It sure does right now.

Well some good performances, impressed with Williams and Spokes. We fought back from being behind twice. UTM.

Quoted from Garth

How about Green sponsored by the daft cnunts in Grimsby

Is this supposed to be funny. Have I missed the joke.

Quoted from Chrisblor

Well sodomist me read the post I quoted which explains the context Hurst joined in, our form and the availability of the players who drove the few decent results Holloway eked out at the start of the season.

We don't want the facts to get in the way of a good story.

Ian Holloway (a complete buffoon signed a load of excrement players) last 14 games of his tenure = 12 points

Paul Hurst (signed 11 new players) first 14 games = 8 points.
