Hurst has been absolutely ruthless with the defence. Bignot has done reasonably well in the games he's played but after the Torquay & Lincoln games he clearly decided that he was the weak link, brought Parslow in and we've stopped conceding.
I just don't understand the lack of similar speedy action at the other end of the field.
Played 9 out of the bottom 10 teams and got 12 points from those games. Not good enough. Played 7 home games and failed to score in 4 of those.
Those are shockingly bad statistics. Hope J.F. sees them, looks at the ever dwindling attendances, and finally realises that he simply HAS to act now to have even a chance of saving this season.

It's not just a lack of speedy action, he's had all pre-season and 14 weeks of this to sign at least one quality striker and he can't do it. Of course, we should just tolerate this, feel sorry for him and keep him on.
Other positives....Aswad back and in fine form, Magnay back at RB and rampant and a solid defence. A good all round performance missing just one obvious thing.
Any chance of a battle plan being drawn up? All the board in, Hurst, Doig and a suitcase of cash on the table and an exhaustive day spent searching every option. Only some thing along these lines will convince me that this season is being taken seriously. This club's like a football with a slow puncture.
Robo - Paul Hurst is the last man on earth i'd give a suitcase full of cash to. Can you imagine what'd happen? We'd pay for another big black striker to come in and not score goals, only this time we'd had paid for the flipping privilege.

Excellent comment Robocod - that's pretty much how I see this, also
Blundell Park - The Home of Grimsby Town Football Club (still)

Well I'm sure York City could find an out of favour defender to help us out.
