Ultimate excrement storm thread !!!

Thought I'd get this set up early for the Hurst out brigade!

All doom and gloom comments please post here

be as sarcastic as you want but it was a terrible substitution and the fact is if he doesn't get promotion this season he shouldnt stay, cant see there being anyone who would want him to if things like this cause is to fade away and crash out the playoffs again, but it's not over and hopefully we win the next game and stay in the title race

That's football.  Annoying yes, but still in with a great shout.  Today's results show there will be lots of twists and turns still to come.

Not doom and gloom. Got away with the substitution v 10 man Braintree, same with Woking. Finally bitten us in the backside. 1st time you should note, 2nd you should really consider not doing it again. 3rd time, could be the difference between play offs and championship push.
Don't know about anybody else but it feels like we've lost.

You go 2-0 up, you expect the opposition manager to make the changes and then we react if needed. Carry on as you are until needed. Far too negative substitution for my liking straight after scoring.
He'll talk about wanting to save Palmer as not fully fit etc, but dont change the formation.
Hurst will be disappointed himself no doubt.

So he should be - it might cost him his job if we don't go up.

All I can say now is, I hope Hurst LEARNS from this - replace LIKE FOR LIKE - striker on, striker off.

None off this bullshit of bringing Parslow on ever again for a striker.

Grow up FFS.

Could be the 2 points what costs us promotion.

That decision is one of the worst ever ever made.

I haven't got the patience to argue with op am just deflated it nearly feels like hurst does it deliberately  he can't be that stupid

Ive supported hurst throughout, but not for this today. Awful decision and its cost us 2 points. Im gutted. Time to drive home

I'm probably seen as pro Hurst on here, but it's not the first time he's made that swap bringing Parslow on for a striker. We always look worse for it and today it has cost us points.

Hurst is too defensive minded,

He will rather defend a 2-0 lead than go for a 3rd or 4th,

He has to learn from his mistakes,

Today's mistake could cost us automatic promotion.

Don't do it again Paul !!!!!!!

Will he be man enough to say I fvcked up today   I would like to think so but I doubt it

I can't really believe what I've just seen. That's flipping kids football naive. He'll come on RH and bleat about Palmer being injured or protected but that's balderdash, he's just chucked away our last real chance of the title with one ridiculous substitution.

Sorry people just abit of light hearted banter. I'm drunk off like the rest you but still plenty of games left and barnet and Bristol are not as consistant as they was I still feel they both drop points.

Gutted! Absolutely gutted. I hope Hurst is man enough to admit he made a mistake in his interview....

Couldn't believe it when Parslow came on and cost us - now conceded 3 goals with defender for striker sub in last 2 games. This hurts Hurst, could have gone back to 3rd.

I will always place blame where blame is due, I have taken the blame with my play calling with American football I've blamed players for their mistakes in the past and Hurst in the past but today Hurst is completely to blame, why change a formation when you are on top! I can understand personal changes to keep players fit but you don't change your formation unless you absolutely must

The thing no ones mentioned yet today though, is that it's clear now that the manager must also give the players the same defensive mentality when it comes to defending leads, we've seen almost every game we've won a reluctance to continue attacking once were ahead, and most visibly in the draw at altrincham, do we have a team capable of dominating this league that needs unleashing or do his defensive tactics get us points where we others might not have, I think I've seen us drop more points due to being defensive personally, and think this years league is actually really poor and previous conference winners would've all gone up with 100+ points for certain

As another poster said why put parslow on instead of brown..changing formation I can sort of get..to get control of midfield and close the game out..but not parslow...surely I wasn't the only one disappointed when we extended his loan.

Making the change clearły backfired. Not only that Parslow does not even strengthen the defence. If you want to add some steel and graft then he should have used Scott Brown. Parslow could not mark an exam paper. Annoyed!!

I was surprised when we kept parslow, if he's supposed to come on as a defensive midfielder he's not doing it, how many touches, passes and tackles does he get when he gets subbed on? How much distance does he cover? I Don't think those stats would be high numbers, and what qualities does hurst think he brings to that role that makes him so necessary as a utility player, doesn't seem particularly fast, can't remember being impressed by any long passing that he does, doesn't really have a lot of success closing down or starting attacks.

He'd probably be a solid centre back or full back for someone, not the most exciting fullback, but he's not a defensive midfielder or a utility player, you don't stay at one club for 230 league games by doing what he's been doing since he came to town, and I don't think he's to blame for that

He's not even taking blame now!!! AAAAAAAAAAARGH its infuriating

scratch that now the blames on him he's now taking it but not openly admitting its his blame

Tondeurs ground him down, he said he'd make the sub again, and then threw the Ollie Palmer wasn't fit card out there as predicted

Hurst would make same substitution again, even though Woking scored last week and Chester scored twice after the exact same decision.

I've got nothing against making defensive changes to close out a game in principle but, as others have noted, bringing Parslow on just doesn't work out as he's not much cop as a defensive midfielder.

A real waste today as most of the other results were pretty decent for us. Lots of twists and turns to come yet, I expect, so perhaps Hurst will now realise we don't have the wherewithal to close out games just by sticking Parslow on the pitch.

Stick Scott brown on, and give Disley free reign to run into the box when we're on the attack, that's how we should go 4-5-1 if we need to

The sight of Mr Danny Parslow warming up fills me with dread. Maybe I am missing something but I fail to see what he brings to the team.

You can not make a substitution like that with 15 -20 mins to go,

You are just inviting the home team to come at you,

It does not work Hurst

If you did that with 5 mins left that would be ok, we should be able to cope for that length  of time,

Hurst reminds me of Groves when he was manager,

We were 2-0 up at Nottingham Forest 20mins to go he goes all defensive,

We drew 2-2,

The next game we are 2-0 up at Ipswich 20 mins to go he does the same,

We drew 2-2,

Grow a set Hurst and trust the players that got you 2-0 up,

If a striker needs to come off, put another striker on,

Failing that bolster the midfield with Brown, Parslow is not the man to bring on.

No shitstorm from me. He did what i expected he would do, which is why i'm not a fan. Fortune favours the brave and he aint brave. He talks about the play offs from about mid season and couple that with bringing on a defender in midfiled when in Brown, we have one of the best midfielders in the Conference last season. Also Jolley, who could have replaced Palmer. It all puts the wrong message in the minds of the players.

Agreed Pete.

While Palmer was on the pitch they were never going to get back into it.

We were brave enough to go searching for a second when 1-0 up, so why can't we be brave enough to go for three when 2-0 up?

When I checked the BBC match stats after an hour, Chester hadn't even had a shot on target.

I've supported Hurst throughout, and I still have hope he'll do a job for us, but that doesn't mean to say I agree with everything he does.

He got it so, so wrong today after a number of warnings.

The manager made a mistake and it cost us,fair enough. But we're still undefeated in 5, 4 consecutive wins then a draw isn't bad.

The last game (until today) that we should have really asked questions of Hurst was the 1-1 draw with Telford back in November, since then we've only dropped points against Forest Green, Bristol Rovers, Macc, Lincoln - which in truth are all tough games but to have beaten Barnet twice and possibly derailed the season probably balances that out.

We could easily have a replica of last weekend, beating Eastleigh and Barnet/Brizzle losing.

Hurst is punching above his weight, in theory anything in the playoffs or above is a personal achievement for him as much as it isn't for the rest of us.

Looking forward to a Hurst-free GTFC next season.

Who are the happier fans tonight,

Us who were 2-0 up,

Or Bristol Rovers who were 2-0 down,?

Subs should be considered and made on an individual game basis.  Chester were poor at the back and could easily have conceded more goals.  As long as we pressured them.

Going forward, they carried a intermittent but a potential threat, if given any encouragement .Suicidal therefore, to give them the opportunity and invite them to attack more.  Just as it proved.  And all this in less than a quarter of the game.  Madness.

We were running the show and then he changed it around. Had Chester bought a striker for a defender when we went 2-0 up then maybe just maybe replace a striker with Parslow but instead Hurst just gave Burr the platform to exploit us when they weren't even in game. So p1ssed off right now.  
Let's back the team and go again UTM
