It is very unfair to say that he doesn't put the effort in and his misses yesterday could, quite conceivably be down to lack of match practice. Where I think he is sadly lacking is in his awareness of things around him-hence his repeated off-sides. As for side footed goals I'd have settled for them coming off his backside yesterday!
I don't think it is. He doesn't put himself about, he doesn't challenge the defenders on the ground or in the air. Frankly it's as though he isn't even on the pitch at times.

I've always called for Hannah to start but he was absolutely dreadful. I still believe a lot of it is that Hurst had drained his confidence over the past year.
A striker plays with confidence when he is scoring goals, To score goals however he needs 3 things, 1. The confidence of his manager, 2. Knowing he will play every week, 3. Not looking over his shoulder to see if he is going to be subbed. He never has had a really long run in the side since he has signed, Whether we have that 20 goal a season striker in him is still debatable imo.

I agree with you Pete, just like with countless strikers before. Last season alone Hurst destroyed Cook & Southwell with his shocking man management of his forwards. Surprise surprise they're both having great seasons.

Ross , even in his earlier career with Belper was always getting caught off side . My ex work colleagues son played with him and was asking hos he was getting on . So its part of Rosses game that will never be removed , Quick through balls seem IMO to be the only way you accommodate his style . Being sat on the bench for bit parts isn't . Also the managers tactics haven't helped with the emphasis of your front line being Lewis .

You should be a politician fella!!!! Cook is playing at probably his level. Southwell isn't playing in the Conference. Who are the others in the countless list? As a pro footballer Hannah should be able to adopt the attitude of "I'll show him"-yesterday he did nothing of note to persuade the manager that he is worth a revision of the line up

Like Pontoonlew said , Hursts man management appears to leave alot to be desired . These strikers who you mentioned never really got an extended run , one bad game and you didn't see them for weeks . Then when they did get a chance everyone was expecting a Messi like performace .. Picking his favorites whatever is going to be his downfall .

Would be more of a statement if they weren't playing part time football at a lower level.

How can Cook be at 'about his level' in 2 out of 3 Conference seasons he scored goals? It was only the last season where he got barely a sniff and publicaly slated by the manager that he didn't score goals.
Hurst did it with Southwell, he deeply frustrated Hearn. Further down the pitch he's already done in to Winfarrah this season. I'm sure if you gave me an hour or so there would be a lot more players I could name who at some point have suffered from Hursts dreadful man management.

What did he do with Southwell exactly? Give him some chances to grab his place and see him not take them? And what did he do to frustrate Hearn? Genuinely you've lost me on that one. Winfarrah I agree deserved to keep his place after his first game. Cook did fairly well in his first season with us but I was still never convinced by him really. His second season he was very poor and looked grossly out of shape. When his chances came he didn't take them. But I do agree you shouldn't slate a player publicly, that is for the dressing room.

How many Conference games did Southwell start? He started 3 cup games and scored 5 goals including 1 from the bench. I know he's not the same type of player as LJL but his strike rate was better than any other at the club.
