Awesome article from Carl.  Oddly he is one of the players I do not think has underperformed.  If that attitude was shared by everyone at the club (i.e. manager and all the players) I would have confidence we would still get out of this league.  I hope Carl's passion and drive spread!

Did anyone listen to the audio on the online telegraph last night?  Hurst says it was 4 3 3 on Tuesday night, but he put Lenny upfront on his own!!  Well doesnt that make it 4 5 1 like the fans were saying?


IF YOU PLAY FOR THE BADGE ON THE FRONT OF YOUR SHIRT
THEY WILL REMEMBER THE NAME ON THE BACK OF IT





You can change your wife, your house, your car, but you can never change your team.
Chairmen come and go, boards come and go, but the fans remain.
They are the one true constant

Hurst wouldn't recognise a 433 if he was playing table football!

One for the future manager wise, sets an example on and off the field,dream ticket Doig as manager with Magnay as playing assistant.

Jeez, if this doesn't make your blood f***ing curdle if you're a long-standing Town fan. If you thought Fenty's statement was asinine, Hurst tops it with an unwitting glimpse into the psycholgy of his management and low-rent expectations. Here it is - the ethos at the heart of the club. The manager thinks we lack self-belief, but then states that he thinks we are a match for most sides in the conference and that we can 'challenge for the play-offs'! And, the Chairman endorses it and sustains it! And people wonder why we're mid table?!

Here are all the answers. The low ambition, low expectation, mediocre standards, hope-for-the-best drivers that prop up the club. Evidently, it's too much to state that "We know we can beat anyone', or "We'll be aiming for two wins in the next two games", or "People don't want to play us" and words to that effect. I'll tell you what Paul Hurst and John Fenty; you reap what you sow in football. If you wonder about self belief and confidence, why not set a shining example? Where's the fight? The spirit? The confidence and pride? It has to come from within. No, if we try hard we can give most teams a good game?! The Club have to manifest self belief and share it with the supporters, but instead, this guff.

Honestly, it's right at the heart of the issue - the stinking lack of vision, ambition and drive at this club, and the tolerance of this small-time thinking. It accounts for our middling, go-nowhere situation to a large extent. Fenty accepts it and wants to retain it, and he expects you and me to go along with it too. Just a bit longer. Keep the faith. We're a match for most teams.

No thanks. Not for me. It's pathetic and it's infuriating.


Well said that man, got it absolutely spot on there.

It was Magnay that told Hurst how we could beat Gateshead,

I agree with Garth Doig as Manager with Carl as assistant.

He's even managed to convince me. There was a time when I was confident of going to a game and getting a result. Now I dread the likes of Torquay, Wrexham, Barnet, etc coming here because I'm hoping we can something out of the game. He's made me feel we're a Lincoln, Aldershot type of club. A mid table team, going nowhere.
