Quoted from 75
Blimey, I was a misery bottom last night!!
It wasn't a great game, I thought both sides were poor yesterday. But the conditions weren't great and we dug in so the players deserve credit. Looking forward to tomorrow's game at BP and hopefully a win.

i think the OP has been overly crictical but Vicar has had time to reflect.
Hurst said himself it wasnt the greatest team performance ever but.....we won away to a promotion contender, kept a clean sheet, inflicted Macc's 1st home defeat of the season. Not a bad sign if we can beat the likes of them without playing well.We're on a decent run of results at the moment. I'm not Hurst biggest fan but some give some credit when its due. Just need to follow up it against the Gimps and the return fixture with Macclesfield and beyond.
Can we be better? yes of course we can. There's is room for improvement.
As for individual players lets look at Hurst signings so far. For me more of his signings come off than those who dont work out.Arnold got off to a slow start after his injury but looks a real player. Maybe a little inconsistent (probably why he;s in the Conference) but on his day an exciting player with an eye for goal.
Yes Mackreth , has probably not done as well as i had hoped, but is certainly not shite. I expect to see more from him. Perhaps yesterdays goal will give him a confidence boost.
Magnay. Player of the Season for me. Very consistent wherever he's asked to play. A top drawer signing.
Toto. Had one of two dodgy games early on. Looks too casual at times but recently has been much much better.
Clay. Got slated when he first joined then quickly won over the doubters with some great displays. Has been somewhat unlucky to have lost his place but the team is doing well so its hard to get back in. Thats exactly what we want, competition for places. Its great to have someone with Clays's quality in reserve if needed and Dis and Brown know they need to perform to keep their place.
Brown. A good player no doubt. Good passer, gets stuck in, a big improvement on the likes of Kerr, Niven etc.
Pittman. Sounds like not his best game yesterday but he has started to develop a decent partnership with the Shop.Imo he has a lot of quality. I think he has been a very good signing maybe only held back by a few niggling injuries.
Parslow. Another dependable guy who can fill in several positions.
So overall none of the signings have been bad imo. A couple have yet to reach the heights we maybe had hoped but most have made major contributions to the season so far.
I cant comment on Watson or Nicky Walker as i havent seen them play enough. But again if the team is getting results why change it.
Personally i would like to see a few of the 'fringe' players get a game in the Trophy. I am not saying throw the tie but maybe rest a couple and see what the others can do in a competitive match.

If it hadn't been for the slow start of the season due to injuries/suspensions then things would be looking much better now. I know it's all " ifs and buts " but those 6 points lost at the beginning of the season would have made a huge difference to our standing and confidence.

Maybe Vicar was right first time?
