post match

Quoted from The Grim Reaper

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

You are right. Parslow did not put the ball in his own net twice.

But you have to realise he was not actually a substitute but a white flag in disguise.

Quoted from Tommy

"Any point away from home is a good point."

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

Exactly. Especially when you manage a side with as bad a home record as us.

PH is not in charge of a side in a division with 3 automatic promotion spots, but one.

Quoted from gaz57

I feel sorry for his wife he actually believes he's never wrong. How would we feel if we got to the playoff final and he made the same decision. I've gone from being in a great mood to feeling sick to death he has ruined my weekend.

I feel the same, 11pm, had a few pints and I am devastated at that perfromance in the second half against a bunch of mugs. We invited their pressure. A manager like Alan Buckley would have made sure we saw that game out. Huge two lost points, massive. Gutted, I feel so bad now.

How can any team within 20 minutes go from cruising 2-0 up to backs against the wall getting away with a 2-2? Doesn't make sense and that would worry me if I was in that side and that happened to me

Quoted from Vance Warner

If it was we'd have won a few quid. He gets it wrong sometimes but the table suggests he gets it right aswell. We're all frustrated but a draw away from home is not the end of the world. after the run we've been on we need to keep a bit of perspective

Oh really? Thanks Paul
Tell me that in League one

Quoted from wembley_double98

Here we go, the percentage game again, this is not a casino!

It is though! Football is substantially a game of chance, so much meaning is attributed to random events it astonishes me sometimes.

People are angry and annoyed that we threw away a two goal lead (me included) but in a few days time everyone will have a got a bit of perspective.

This is where I want to say be fair, he does get it right sometimes, I didn't see the howls of protest on here when he did the same thing last week and got away with it.

That said the point of this the thread is that not only did he make a poor decision in this game (surely no one that was there will disagree with that) but that he fails to acknowledge it was a mistake and we all fear this negativity will cost us. Can you disagree with that?

Rob, you constantly make these betting analogies. If you and Hurst are right I assume you are both multi-millionaires by now.

Perspective. hmmm. After all the hard work Hurst and the team have put in to get themselves back into contention. So we could be 3 points off the top but the manager throws away the chance. That to me is under-performing. We could have won. We threw it away. Not beaten by the better side. Content with a draw?

Where we up against superior opposition or did we have very bad luck?

I don't think anyone has suggested it's the end of the world. Or did you read something different?
