Said a long time ago that Hurst will not deliver promotion and I'm sat on holiday feeling sorry for those who still believe he can. The team are an embodiment of the manager, no passion and no clue.

FFS, I've read some poop in my time but folk are calling for the manager's head after a (probably predictable) defeat? The season's a marathon, not a sprint - sorry about the awful cliche but it is just that. Should Barnet sack their manager because Dover held them 2-2 at home today? Of course not. Should Macc sack their manager because they've now lost two on the trot?
Come on guys, I'm still of the opinion automatic promotion can be won. Criticise the team by all means, all long as it's noteworthy, but calling for the managers head because he's only won 8 out of the last 12 games? Lighten up.

The important bit is to beat the teams above you, too many players were not at it today and it showed, the team with the best defence in the league played like a team with the worst, no plan B though and there should be. If we had drawn against Macca, and won today we would be happy bunnies but only one point better

I'd be very surprised if we got promotion at all unless something changes, let alone automatically. The players haven't got the balls to win the big games and don't have the guile to break down teams who defend en masse.

You are a joke Bruce Springsteen
For having absolutely no faith in somebody that has underachieved season after season after season? I bet there are a few more "jokers" in our town tonight not me though, I've been slagging off Hurst for several years now it's nice to be proved right

| Are we any closer to getting promoted since Hurst has been here? No
Has he been given time to achieve promotion by the chairman and fans? Yes
Hurst out |

Well done but one result doesn't prove anyone right or wrong. Some laughable comments from the knee jerk reaction brigade. 1) They players don't care - I've seen town teams that don;t care and this isn't one of them. Don;t forget we had a much more demanding game than Lincoln 48 hours ago. 2) We never turn up for the big games. Our record against top sides is better than the lower teams. Good performances in the cup last season were in front of big crowds. 3) We'll lose in the playoffs again - how can you be so sure? Our record against the top teams is far better than the last two seasons. 4) Hurst must be watching a different game - or maybe he refuses to criticise his players in the media. Town fans have always been a fickle bunch (myself included) but it's getting a bit ridiculous. Welcome to the age of the keyboard football fan.

Why did we have a more demanding game than lincoln? Fitness wasn't the problem today

Even the Lincoln fans are laughing at how stupid some of the comments on here are and I am laughing with them. These are the same people who were slating Lenny a few months ago.
