Just back

Was that the same team from saturday? Bar lennell yes it was but dear me were we poor, hard to defend that performance, players seemed flat and devoid of ideas, hurts and players both at fault for tonight ( more so imo the players) fair play to southport, they set up well and did what they had to do- macreth awful tonight i feel, can see we are a long way off a promition team on that performance, again it makes saturday a 3 pointer. It seems to be 1 forward 2 back and as much as i like paul, performances like that are gonna turn the fans more and more against

And therein lies the mentality.  Not LJLs fault as such, but how much more hoof, and less playing it through the midfield on the deck than Saturday was there.  Lennie should not be the scapegoat, HURST should.  Play LJL if you think, but let the players know that he is not the be all and end all of every attack. Quite frankly one of the most boring and quietest games at BP (given the crowd and the fact that night games normally have more atmosphere) in my 40 odd years of watching Town.  Absolutely shocking and whilst my post not so long ago said it may not be time for Hurst to go.

Now it is.

No plan B or C. As much as people like him, if we want out of this league we need someone who knows how to use the good squad what we have week in week out and get constant results. Its a no brainer, we don't need forwards we need a manager with knowledge!

It'd be wrong to blame LJL personally, it's not his fault that we play poorer football when he's on the pitch. But it's slowly becoming more evident that, that is indeed the case. Hurst just refuses to address this, either play it on the floor (where he's better) or swallow your flipping pride and try something else.

He's walking a fine fine line.

Too slow too easy to play against and no brains to change anything. Dover Nuneaton and Southport will all be fighting relegation IMO and we have failed to beat any of them at home!.

I don't blame PH for the team he sent out but the players need a rocket for there lack  of nouse and movement. I would be critical as to why we didn't change shape and/or personnel much sooner. We were so predictable.

Best team won

Absolutely, and that's unacceptable I think.

One decent chance for us all game, LJL one on one and no surprise to anybody when he put it wide, really struggling to think of a valid reason to change the team tonight, only Hurst can answer that, performance was totally lacking and the manager stands on the touchline with his usual pose, thank god I have cancelled my two seats on the coach for Saturday, don't think I can stand many more performances like the one I have just witnessed

It's the managers job to motivate and send out the team wanting to win more than the opponents . It doesn't seem hurst does this to the level required . Time for a change mr F

Too right Lew. Earlier on today I said it was worth a try to start with Oates and rely on playing football, only using LJL as an impact from the bench. It might not have worked but going back to square one didn't work either did it?

I blame PH for once again sending out a team that doesn't stamp it's authority in the first 10 minutes. The front 2 were woeful.
