I would rather take every game as it comes see what happens expecting to win three or four games on trot is a fools game. Sick of hearing about getting rid of Hurst, one goon even wanted us to lose to hope Hurst would get sacked WTF is that all about. He's brought in Two players (not to everybody's liking might I say) but they did the business.

I wouldn't say its a fools game, this seasons start has been very similar to last & at this point we put together a 3 match winning run, a couple of games & another 3 match winning run & continued in a similar vain up to xmas, If we are to match or better last years final league placing then we must start winning 3 or 4 games on the trot. Were certainly capable of it so lets all get behind the team & the manager & stop criticising at every opportunity

Its more to it than that and im sure you know it. Ive not lambasted his signings, more to do with his shite man management and tactically ineptitude but clearly you wouldn't see that being one of those zombies at BP lol. We all want good for GT and mine is time for a change. I will wait till xmas and if were not in the playoffs then he should go. Apart from struggling to sign a striker I think he has done well with the ones he brought in during pre season.

We have always played better against the better teams.
The last 3 home games have been Alfreton, Welling and Torquay though.
For some reason, and it has not only been during Hursts tenure, we have never learned how to take the teams that park the bus to the cleaners.
The Southport games concerns me for this very reason. Bogey team!

Got to be aiming for 12 points if we're serious about getting out of this league. We've got catch up to play, and these 4 games are the perfect opportunity to do so. Not gonna be easy though!

| In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions. Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them. GOD |

Two very good away results which cheers us all up, but the next four games are the acid test IMO. The home games must be won to get us up amongst the top five. I recall last season I raised the point that in PH we appear to have the perfect manager for away games where his love of tactic tinkering and relying on stealth rather then attack seems to prosper. Historically, stats may prove otherwise, we seem to then fail to deliver in what appear "home bankers" with performances failing to reach the standards we all hope to see as we again fail to beat the Lesser" sides in this league.
For me a repeat of this would see the demise of PH and a new chapter begins. I hope we win them all but as a PH doubter I am not over confident.

Wish I could be optimistic but we will get 8 or 9 points max. Not enough to boost us up the table but enough to keep the wagon crawling along a bit longer.

To be honest I would rather we were playing Barnet, Torquay, Halifax and Woking. We have always played better against the better teams. For some reason, and it has not only been during Hursts tenure, we have never learned how to take the teams that park the bus to the cleaners.
Have you actually got some stats to prove that? I suspect it's your memory playing tricks because it would be remarkable it it was true over a sustained period. I remember two seaons ago (the year we lost to Newport) I think we never managed to beat any of the top ten sides but still ended up in the top ten because we did so well against everyone else.
