His job is to get us promoted FFS not finish in the the top four, unlike Arsene Wenger Hurst hasn't got the Champions league to look forward to.
And as a matter of interest how many seasons of failure (can we agree his sole job is to get us out of this league) do you say enough is enough?
I'd day he's got this year to do it, although he might get another crack next season if we were particularly unlucky in the play off final. my worry is after watching town yet again fail to perform on the big stage is that they'll cruise into the play offs and fail again once the pressure is on |

Agree but luck shouldn't come into it, the team best prepared, motivated etc tend to win the play offs I keep harping on about how history tells us Hurst will get us to the play offs and when the pressure is on, we fail. this season mirrors last season (including the big home games with a big crowd when a good win would really get the fans behind the team and Hurst and kick on for the rest of the season) so there is absolutely no reason not to think the same will happen again |
| 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 |

I have been watching Town for 42 years spent thousands of my hard earned dosh one thing that really annoys me is not getting the basics right and incompetant management
I don't mind a defeat it's the way we lose play off potential we are but we need to go that step futher lets hope the players can prove us wrong Jan and Feb are gooing to be interesting

Had to put up with my son in law at tea last night who attends nearly every Lincoln match. He emphasised the difference their change in Manager has made in the style and approach of their play with the key part being a " Keegan" type approach of we will outscore you. They certainly got men forward in numbers yesterday and whilst leaving themselves vulnerable at the back were pretty good to watch.

Managers do make a different your right.Think Hurst like Ive mentioned before is a likeable enough guy amongst the group of players though his motivational skills maybe lacking |

I keep reading this. Could someone please point out to me the evidence that he is unable to motivate the current squad? |

I was pretty disappointed on Saturday, thought we were cruising and would get a few before that wonder goal changed the game. We had plenty of chances but they put theirs away at the right time. I like hurst and think he's doing a good job.

Playing at BP, I see very little motivation in the players to bring back the crowds we are capable of pulling. |

Way he comes across in interviews at times doesn't exactly inspire motivation.Having said that I will stand by him in that I think he is reasonable guy and that counts for a lot in football as in life which is why I hope he can prove me and others wrong in getting us promotion |

Have you ever seen Hurst rant and rave from the touchline Ian ? He does not even kick a water bottle  |

Have watched with amazement at the calls for Hurst's head on this forum over the last couple of days. Earlier in the season I put up a posting about percentages of Town games won etc, and doubted whether they had the ability on either this season's form - or any other season in the Conference - to reach the requisite number of points in order to get into the play offs. I'm so glad that I have been proved wrong with those statistics and Town are in a decent position.
We've played 27 games so far, and we had our notorious slow start to the season and after a third of the games had been played we'd won 3, drawn 3, and lost 3. Barnet on the other hand had won 7, drawn 1, and lost 1. In the remaining games since then we have won 10, drawn 5 and lost 3. If we take off Barnet's extra game played they have won 10, drawn 4 and lost 4. Is anybody calling for their manager's head because of such a shocking run, securing one less point than we have?
The internet, and fans forums in particular make it easy for people to vent their wrath on players and managers in the heat of the moment. Perhaps taking a deep breath and looking at things realistically instead might be a good idea?
"Perhaps taking a deep breath and looking at things realistically instead might be a good idea?" Having taken your advice I have decided (after going to every game this season) that if there is no reaction from Hurst and his team on NYD I will start picking my games. |

Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.
