That decision today encapsulates everything that's wrong with the ethos of this club. F@cking Hurst and his small thinking, defensive obsession. Brings on an average full back for a striker to play centre mid, hands them the initiative and blows it. That decision could well cost us a shot at the title. Sorry to be so frank but this is why I'll never be behind him as a manager. I'm really fuming.

Sorry to say, but if you're mentioning percentages, the ratio of people who disagree with you is around 93%, I would say that's an overall - you are wrong!

That's what teams plodding about in mid-table say, not teams challenging for promotion.

Losing a two-goal lead when well set is bad enough, but not admitting that you were responsible makes it worse.

All he had to do was admit that the substitution and change in tactics was wrong. By doing so, it'd reassure the fans that he saw it like we did.

That's some consolation.

But by saying he'd make the same sub again in the same circumstances, well, he and the fans are going to grow further apart. The fans will doubt his future decisions even more, so he's not helping himself.

He's an intelligent bloke. I'm surprised he hasn't realised this.

Are you saying its my fault,

He did not say that but he might as well as,

Not listened to the interview but it seems to me as though Hurst has certainly developed a bit of a siege mentality. I suppose this is understandable to some degree as he's been getting it in the neck at various times over the past 18 months, even when he doesn't always deserve the amount of criticism coming his way.

It seems clear to most that the change in formation near the end was a mistake today, but he's obviously not going to admit that when pressed.

As a cautious manager, I don't think he'll change his viewpoint but it is surprising that he hasn't realised that we generally aren't good enough defensively to just shut up shop like this.

Who would be a manager? We battered them for most of the game and they didn't have a shot until the second half. Hurst got the tactics spot on. Did making the substitution lead directly to the two goals? No

Have you not been reading, of course it did, playing a poor quality player who hardly touched the ball instead of an attacker who could put pressure on their defence led to us being under pressure for the remainder of the game until he pushed Jolley up front but by then it was too late.

You must be as daft as Hurst, unless you are him.

His answers to JT were not good enough for any one of the fans that went to the game and his boss should be telling  him that in no uncertain terms. If he really believes what he says then every single one of us should be very worried.
