Hurst time officially now up

Quoted from RoboCod

There's another way around this that Hurst will HAVE to take as Fenty will eventually HAVE to put it to him....try another setup. Hurst cant go yet, 3 games in and unbeaten and having built a very solid defence. He just has to start with another lineup and start with Mackreth so we can decide one way or another if Hurst has bo*****ed up by swapping Rodman for him.

Lots of changes and tweaks to be made and we can get started, but until those changes are made I'm not making the trip.

I take it you were in the bog when they scored.

i think the defence is judged on the goals against column to be fair, but the old weakness of letting in a goal with almost the one chance on our goal has been going on for far too long. Though to be fair to Hurst, there's nothing he can do about 3 of his barely-troubled defenders suddenly leaving it to one another.
I think the defence will be up alongside that of the Nathan Pond era. It's the other end that's in need of attention.

The quietness at BP speaks volumes, for this division 3k plus is a decent crowd some of those sides will never have experienced playing in such a match but far from a cauldron of noise there is nothing. That is because the players are so lethargic and have no hunger now to me that is the managers fault, You can bet your bottom dollar if those players had faced Scott after such a lackluster show they would have been  running for cover. Another thing yeah have a bit of respect but more importantly go out there believing you are better,stronger and want to annihilate them.

Good post IMO

The problem being that the crowd are all asleep having been bored into submission.

More difficult to cheer with your neck in a brace from looking up at the ball all the time.

Spot on post  .
We go to watch with no expectations anymore and that's  what we get . Coming away deflated is now the norm .

exactly..

we know how the 90 minutes will pan out, bored to death with us defending deep then long balls from the defence up to lenny to win the odd header miss at least two sitters then onto whichever team comes to catch us farting about to nick the goal.

its repeat after repeat then we get the odd good result then we go on a run of about 13 unbeaten with 9 of them draws then paul does his post match interview sends us into a deep coma and says the positive is we only managed to lose five balls today over the upper findus the cycle starts again.

bored to pissing death.

Our crowd was more than 5 in total for Div 2 and 2 in Div 1, so the support is there with no sensational game-play.

Our away support is brilliant and always deserves praise for distances travelled!

What do these crowds want?

To see teams and to travel to teams at least at Div 2 level.... for now!

Hurst has had every support financially, and on paper the squad should be competing at least in the top 5 all season.

Injuries are not a good way to start off, but at least we haven't been beaten.... luckily, in Saturday's case.

I agree with others that Winfarrah needs games - why have him if we don't trust him to perform ok??

Loan Players like Conor Townsend don't grow on trees, let's develop our own !

Perhaps with Neilson as a left hand side support & foil, it would be better for him than a non left footed, narrow sided midfielder, doing his best in an unfamiliar position?
