Simply won't be good enough

Quoted from ackomariner

Bet it's killing you though  

Lol.

I am a changed man if paul sticks to 442 and plays all the players in there best position..

Seriously though we have the players i know that but paul hurst is his own worst enemy when he just cant leave things alone.

We played so well as a 442 this season it was very good football ,i know we can do it if we worry about what we can do and not change formation just to accomadate or to suit other teams.

i dont have anything to apolagise for.  and as for the  papaer over the cracks weekend.  we did that before, and we are still here

Please Mr D can you tell us another bedtime story, one with a happy ending because you only seem to like horror stories.  Could you tell us it after we win next time because you only tell us one when we lose. You're like a father that doesn't show up to see his kid when we win. If you're not careful you'll end up on Jeremy Kyle

Hurst has to take to take the blame for last night. Opposition weaknesses are their to be exploited, you don't set up to counter their strengths cos chances are they're better at it than you.

I don't know why Hurst get's stick for changing the team. The managers job is to put out the side that he thinks has the best chance of getting the required result against certain opposition. That is surely what a squad is for.

I won't give Hurst stick for altering teams and formations but what i will give him stick for, is not being very good at it. I also think he reacts too slowly when it's obvious that it's not working. I can't ever remember him making a half time substitution for instance, to change our shape or remove an under performing player.

He is a stubborn fooker and i think it will be his undoing.

if there was another story to tell i would, but i say things as i see them .  we are average at best, and i dont believe its because of the playing staff.

So may I ask, in the last 10 years or so when has the story had a happy ending?

Good question  arry

A game that could have gone either way but went theirs this time, would have loved Hurst to have changed it after the first thirty when it was obvious that their long ball was killing us, Plan B was needed because we were playing too deep allowing them to launch balls into our area, should have gone 442 IMO and keep them busy at the back with our two strikers.
Still you can`t do much as a manager about poor defending (2 pens) but Doig should have come on sooner when it was obvious that Pearson was finished, better defending long throws at the near post would have helped to, good contest though and I hope they strike a coin for their celebration

The best thing about this season so far is Hurst has seen sense to leave pedestrian Disley out of the starting 11, as soon as he was named in the team last night, I was filled with dread.  People will say, but he scored and does score goals, but this team has proved in the last couple of seasons, that it will never go anywhere with him in the team.  Way too slow, the midfield get's over-run & lacks any drive when he plays.

i see disley is becoming the new scapegoat, been very impressed with clay and brown but last night i thought they were poor and thought dis played well, driving force, slotted in at right back when needed, and his aerial threat was once again apparent, i really dont understand that critisicm of Dis, for me he really does NOT slow the play down and i think he's a valuable member of our team
