Unfortunately, I don't think the squad is strong enough as it stands to win promotion. We're not far off, as the current League position shows, but we're two or three good players away from being real contenders.

Hurst obviously bears some responsibility for this as it is his team, but then we don't know about the financial constraints we have in comparison to some of the teams around us.

However, it seems we still can't compete reliably with many of the teams who are awash with big, quick and athletic players. That's a lot of the teams in the Conference, hence our continued struggles to beat the 'weaker' teams.

I wonder where we would be now if Hurst had got the sack and Scott took over by himself,

Serious question,


Who knows Pete I was happy scott got sacked and happy Hurst was given a chance he's had his chance for me we wont get promoted under him IMO

I am. I personally think that we will get the play-offs this year but I am probably deluded. I feel deflated but most of the people on here are using knee jerk reactions.

Quoted from AdamHaddock
Slightly melodramatic there. Hopefully today was an off day - a town team who've kept plenty of clean sheets this season were opened up quite easily by Lincoln. They were quicker, stronger, passed the ball more accurately than us and moved into space far quicker. Having said that some of our problems today were self inflicted - sloppy, lazy passing, needless back passes when there's no pressure which on one occasion was underhit and left McKeown struggling.

I couldn't understand bringing Paddy on so late and when we were 3-1 down when it was obvious long before then that we were struggling to keep the ball and build any play. Diz, Shop and Pittman all worked hard and caused some problems and for a period Mackreth was lively when he came on. As I said, hopefully a blip.


Possibly but we have a lot of blips don't we. Too many.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

How many times does it have to be pointed out, that this isn't a knee-jerk reaction? After one bad performance, yeah, 2,3,maybe 4,5,6,7? Or how about seasons? How many seasons of failure before it ceases to be a knee-jerk reaction.

The only knee-jerk reaction is the knee-jerk reaction to criticism of Hurst.

PH is after the FA Trophy as it is the nearest thing to winning anything, a very good credit to his CV!

Teams and managers have off days that's normal and fair enough we're all human. What worries me though, is that Hurst actually thought that we played well.


Up The Mariners!
