This is becoming a habit. Throwing away points. And other than the Glennon red card avoidance substitution we’ve surrendered this points without making any changes despite the opposition bringing on fresh legs in all 3 of those matches.
Modern football is a squad game. I don’t think you can get away with waiting until the 88th minute to make a substitute anymore.
Hurst gives the impression he’s happy with the squad he’s assembled, so why is he so reluctant to use what available to him on the bench?

Negative post. 1 win but only 1 lose in 5 games against 5 teams who were tipped to do well. I wasn't happy with today's first half performance going forward but it was much improved 2nd half.

Against mainly the top teams. We must have had one of the hardest set of opening games. Jam today is best but jam tomorrow is better than no jam at all.

I'm not a fan of Hurst's sub phobia either or his lack of desire to change anything unless he has to because we are getting destroyed or an injury but you're whining over nothing. It's not like we are getting tonked every game or even losing, apart from the Notts County game we have not conceded more than one goal either. Our form is the same as Wrexham with much less goals conceded (and scored).
Yes, work needs to be done but a lot of football to be played and it could be much, much worse like being Doncaster lol. I'd be joining in the complaining if we'd started our season losing at home to Harrogate and getting twonked by the mighty Newport.

Why are all the teams we play classed as top teams. After spending approx 1 mill other teams should be saying that about us. I don't believe for one minute it's all the players fault and there is one common denominator in this.. Hurst about time he went

How do you know what we’ve spent, or anyone else for that matter? Unless we win every week you’ll bleat anyway.

Like it or not, this is a hurst trait. He’s a percentage manager and in fairness to him it’s worked in the main so far in his career when he’s given the time. He trusts/believes in his plan and is adverse to changing it without extreme provocation. It does mean more draws than wins but also more draws than losses.

There’s a good few people on here need to get a sense of perspective. We’ve got pretty much a new team and have started reasonably well. Guess what though, that new team will take time to gel. Tuckman would say we are approaching the “Norming” phase of team development, I’d agree. We will do some things well but others not so much, as we develop further this balance will change for the positive. Just gotta be a bit more Lasso.

Rob definitely needs to bring in some sort of anti-bot detection tool on this site (not a reference to Morris’ Minors 😊😊😊😊). Denni could spend all week trying to find the traffic lights to prove he’s not a robot. It’d be like watching a cat with a ball of string, who then has a shït, sniffs it, thinks, ‘I’ll have a piece of that’ and chows it down like a perineum panna cotta. Are you sure you’re not the fourth draft of ChatGPT? The one that got away. The one that took AI, and thought, fück this, humans are too stupid for artificial intelligence. The one where you can filter the output based on: Bėll end ✔️ Thick ✔️ Impatient ✔️ Annoying as fück ✔️
