Quoted from chaos33
The doubts have always been there for me - I'll be honest and say I'm not a Hurst fan, but they had started to dissipate, to be replaced by optimism and belief. Probably much the same as many others. And now reality has bitten back. I've never honestly been convinced that Hurst has what it takes to get us promoted and I'm still not. It's not as if this latest home performance is a 'one off'. It's a recurring symptom of a problem.


Assuming belief in the old adage that once they cross the white line the players have to take responsibility can I just ask what you would have done differently to Hurst to try to get them going today? Serious question.

I actually thought Mackreth did better at full back than he did in his normal position.

Brown was way beyond awful.

Those around me thought Macca should have done better with the goal but I'm not sure...


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

We watched different games! His worst game in a town top IMO, kept getting turned constantly.


Remember he made one world class last ditch tackle he had no right to win which resulted in him getting injured that was worth man of the match alone. The windy conditions were a nightmare defending the osmond end but Wrexham coped a lot better.

I don't think he had a chance with that at all. An excellent and accurate finish. Plenty of criticism for the defenders for making no effort to close him down at all, but none for McKeown.

My take on the match
The wind spoiled the game
The pitch too dry
The ref was awful
They wanted the game more than town
Very poor from town
Craig Clay  should play every game
Some may agree some may disagree just my thoughts

Ok, fair enough. It's the players fault. They take responsibility. Just as they do for the other 6 home league defeats too yeah?

Don't think we had a shot on target 1st half and only troubled their keeper when Hannah crossed to their near post in the 2nd
We didn't create anything really but just hoofed it to Lenny and Olly which their 2 at the back swallowed up
Very poor - Town looked like a mid-table side going thro the motions in an end of season nothing to play for game

I honestly got the impression today that the mentality of the squad is 'we're in the play-offs, that'll do'. I saw no desire to win, just a tremendous apathy when on the ball, and even more apathy when trying to win it back.

Exactly. Winners mentality. Champions ethos. Swagger. It ain't there and it's never been there.

I'm sorry everyone. We just fell out of title contention with a f*cking whimper, and I'm angry about it.

Don't think he is specifically talking about today. It's a recurring problem Hurst has failed to fix.
