Why did we have a more demanding game than lincoln? Fitness wasn't the problem today
I disagree a little, there are some players of no fault of their own that were unfit today, not that it should be used as a main reason for losing

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.
Can't agree with this. How many "big" games have we had this season? Today was the first in my opinion. The first time we've had a big crowd against an in form team who we have a bit of rivalry with and the team bottles it. We haven't played any of the top five at BP and it's too early in the season to claim they're "big" games. Going away from home and playing teams in the cup who are above you in the leagues (the cup games) takes the pressure off you somewhat which is why we have got joy then. When you're expected to take the game to the opposition and to do so in front of a big, expectant crowd, Town invariably bottle it.

Well done but one result doesn't prove anyone right or wrong. Some laughable comments from the knee jerk reaction brigade.
This is not knee-jerk, this happens season after season, we WILL get into the play-offs, we WILL be beaten by a better side

| 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 |

So January approaches, does Fenty give Hurst more money to spend or invest in a manager with the nous to take us to the next level with the p layers we've already got? Gary Mills anyone?

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
No for sitting back on the sidelines and having nothing positive to say, ever. Anyone can keep quiet for weeks and then start a "told you so" thread every time we lose, which we are bound to from time to time. I don't regard this as the behaviour of a so-called supporter.

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.
Not playing one dimensional hoof ball. Hurst believes playing the long ball at a lone striker is going to conquer most teams in this league. This policy has seen some success but as the season progresses we are going to come up against more teams that have sussed we have no plan B, consequently more results like today will become the norm.

I suppose it's a good sign that these "I told you we would lose a game sometime" threads are so rare nowadays.
