I would love to think you are right Rob, being old enough to remember 1962 when we were many points adrift at Christmas then went on a long unbeaten run and romped into promotion. So yes, it can happen and I will be more than happy to recant my pessimism.
I am struggling to see LJL and Hannah as replacements for Rafferty and Portwood up front though!
I remember that season when Rafferty scored 34 and Portwood 14 ( I think,) How many will LJL and Hannah get ? I would say neither of them will get into double figures. |

You may well jest!  |

Agree with all that...especially the bit about Still. I shall now go for a lie down in a darkened room..
I think I will as well.  Different room though! |

I was at Burton the day we went down. It was no real surprise given the garbage served up in the previous weeks, but you always hope for a miracle. Depressing though it was, I thought that there were some positives, Firstly the inept Woods would be fired immediately, and then we would bring in an experienced manager who would rebuild the squad. With our resources I figured we would be in the conference for two seasons and then be back in L2. Talk about misplaced optimism.
If you had told me then that four an a half seasons later we would be a mid table conference team, suffering home defeats by utter dross, I would never have believed it. All we have to show for those years are two play off semi's, and a Trophy final, all of which we lost. In other words, nothing.
I though Hurst did ok last year getting us to the playoffs, and I thought he should be given the chance to build on that. But this season does not look like progress to me.

To be honest, I'm totally baffled as to why people think this hopeless manager is going to get us promoted this or any other year! He proves time and time again that he hasn't got a clue what to do if things are not working to plan. And that plan is usually hit and hope. He's boring and for the most part so is his team. There is no excitement or anticipation around the place anymore and there is definitely NO inspiration coming from him. He's got nothing to offer. Dull, dull, dull. Even Mike Lyons used to give us a laugh when he tried to be Roy Of The Rovers......and failing dismally of course!  |

Genuine Question ( know I will get slated for this).... Who realistically can we get in Hursts place that will not require lots of funds to improve situation? As sacking Hurst will require funds and a new Manager if from a different club will cost in compo. This is not a tongue in cheek like a previous post I put up on Saturday just a genuine ask.

Gary Brabin? His stats are very convincing anyway, and he's not doing anything at the moment! [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Brabin] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Brabin[/url] [img]http://i.imgur.com/Kng8QBm.png[/img] |

A realistic option by looks of it Nelly. Just wonder what he has been doing for last couple of years?

We oscillate between such extremes on here it's ridiculous. The reality is we have some good results, we have some bad results, like every MID TABLE team. Freak results happen every week in this division - in every division - that's what makes football so interesting. If PH doesn't make the play-offs this year then by all means let's consider someone else but while we are in a position where we might achieve something (and we're still in the hunt for every possible prize, including automatic promotion) then we should stick with the course wer're on. Considering the horrendous injury problems we've had we're not in that bad a position IMHO. Yes some people might pick a different side, but that's always going to be the case, and it's easy to say with hindsight. We did well without LJL in the team, we have quite a poor record when he starts as the stats pages on the Fishy show, as well as the consensus of anecdotal opinion on here it seems to me. Hopefully he'll go back to a winning forumula at Dartford.
