Quoted from 140381
I think it’s clear Hurst missed out on a few signings. I’m only guessing but I also think the plan was for Conteh to stay a season and then get a big step up from a well placed Town side. Clearly there was no plan B. Conteh was advised gtfo sharpish by his agent (fair enough) when the wheels fell off and the rest of it crumbled.

I’ve defended Hurst on here to my detriment. Pretty obvious he blew it with recruitment and panic signings. How he ever thought Eastwood was an improvement on Crocombe I will never know. I hate pointing the finger at players, but clearly Hurst and Artell agree.

I’ll be there on Monday. I don’t think we’ll get a win. A point maybe. We never beat Bradford and they got a decent win against Tranmere yesterday. Also, the crowd will be nervous and then angry if the early goal(s) kill it before 1.25pm.

Ugh.


We absolutely cannot concede early on Monday - it would be disastrous, possibly season defining, sucking what remaining confidence is left in this shower and the crowd. Pull 11 behind the ball and use Vernam and Rose as outlets and hope to scrape a 1-0, it’s our only hope.

The Sutton penalty is looking more threatening.  But, we scored just 1 goal from 8 shots on target.  Shocking.  3 points were just begging to be taken.

Away teams at BP seem to score with every shot on target.  Plus one in one game when an OG went in as well.

Hume isn't the issue. He's looked decent. To be fair to Glennon, he was also very good at wingback.


I think it was a mistake letting Efete go if we were going to switch to 3 centre halves. He'd have played ahead of a few.

Hurst recruitment in league 2 had always seemed to be solid/adequate but this season it was abysmal and maybe the issue was that he was targeting players who he thought could pass the ball around and play abit more which was certainly the preferred style of play at start of season which is abandoning his usual method, that and he had more money than he is used to, if he kept with his usual method then I feel he may have recruited better
