I see it as Hurst making a directly antagonistic move against supporters, he only said the other day the fans like Hamish and he doesnt know why as they have no reason to, get behind the other players etc etc.
Therefore i summise that Hurst see's him as a crowd favourite and just to p1ss us off he his looking to offload him, an attempt to stamp his authority, classic indicative behaviour of small man syndrome...

some may say...



Really?

It strikes me as though he sees something in him but that he is unfit, he is looking to extend his stay with us and loan him out to get fit and see if he improves enough to come back into the first team. Seems fairly sensible seeing as we don't have a reserve side.

Bloody hell! Talk about an overreaction.

He's got (bar a game against Boston's kids team and two cameo appearances from the bench) no experience of English football, a lack of match fitness and could clearly do with improving on both.

On top of this he's looked just ok when he's come on, nothing outstanding but by no means a disgrace.  He looks to have the raw assets, he has some potential there.  The key word is potential.  He's in no different position to Winnfarah, Walker or any other first year professional, arguably he's not as far down the line as they are.

Hurst sees him every day in training so has a better idea than anyone else as to where he is and how far he is from the first team.  The lad we've brought from Mansfield is a proven non-league striker.  He's got considerable experience in and around this level, hence why he will be ahead of Watson in the pecking order.

I'm not Hurst's biggest fan, certainly not at the minute, but slating him for looking to do the right thing with regards this lads development is ridiculous.

One for the future? he's not releasing him so as a guess he is breaking him in. after all we dont have much youth in the ranks up top.


If he wants to break him in perhaps we should sign Ched Evans..

Hehehe..no not really...just dangling a hook.

I think Hurst is doing the right thing, he aint fit enough to start and is running out of contract, give him a blast somewhere else maybe lower down, if he fails to score or make an impact he will be released with no further involvement from us and Hurst can justify his actions, if he starts banging them in and gets match or half match fit then we can recall him (providing he doesnt fook off somewhere else when his contract runs out) and Hurst can justify his actions. Win win really.
