Hurst

so who do we think he was referring to?

Hendrie and Harbergam had bad games, but hendrie has done enough to be exempt from criticism, as has Max Wright..
He's already excepted (is that a word?) the 2 debutantes, so that leaves 6. Hanson and Pollock looked like they were battling. Mckeown , Preston, Green, Hewitt are the others.
of the subs Williams (and this applies to Bennet when he's in the team) was threatening but he's not up for the fight. Jackson didn't look good enough; Spokes was better and i don't think he's a shirker. I would include Rose in the criticism - he needs to show more, although he was better than usual. Scannell looked like a poor imitation of Morais.

so in conclusion we could do with replacements for Preston, green, Hewitt, possibly Rose & McKeown plus a goalscorer.
not much needed then!

ps a real indictment of our standards , when he pointed out that our outstanding player was a 19 year old fringe player at bloody Fleetwood

pps Barrow have only lost 1 in their last 5 .....

Hendrie has been pretty poor all season, Wright excluded but only because he’s coming back from injury.

Quoted from Humbercod

Does Hurst get a free pass this season regardless? To say the players are not good enough is one thing, but when you can’t even fire them up for a local derby is another.

Thing is, for most of the players we have, they probably never knew where Scunthorpe was until they travelled there today.  I can't see that many of them thought of it as a local derby, what they should have been thinking of was to play their hearts out for the club, so that they won't be one of those players kicked out in the near future.

Hursty also said that some in the dressing room either didn't or could care about the current situation, even though those players were responsible for the current situation.

If that's the case pay them off and get people in who do/will care. I rather see players with passion and commitment lose then wage takers.

Think it was telling that he mentioned Loft and his grafting, which was a clear dig at Green, who is only playing because he's the only striker with any experience other than Hanson. Don't think he's too impressed with Jackson or Gibson, who were alluded to in his pre match as being given contracts beyond their worth.

Loft is another player who turned us down and was typical that he scored against us after being largely ineffective for most of the season.

Will be surprised if Green starts on Tuesday or ever again if we can get someone else in.

Think Hurst stated the problem during the interview, he said that after the game at BP their manager Cox, stated that we were more up for it, so I would presume he had them well wound up for today, whereas Hurst intimated we lacked application. So basically the difference between 2 poor teams is who wants it more,  and that is how our season will be decided, we dont have the ability but do we have the right attitude.

Think that's inaccurate....I would think half of them drive past the Scunny turn offs on their way to work.

Quoted from Hagrid

From me he does. The players are an embarrassment

He said he had watched some games so it disappoints me to think he has only just come to that conclusion.

He surely must have known this squad of players are probably the worst in Town's history, frig me this shower of excrement are much worse than what Neil Woods had to work with.

We all know one player doesn't make a successful team but with Green it's clearly not working. Is there no one in the reserves than can actually make a difference ? Play someone up front out of the reserves to prove a point  a few days left in the transfer window  more urgency surely to find a striker

Quoted from DB

You cannot whip a herd of donkeys to race against a team of pony's. A donkey is a donkey and plods, but if you consider it a donkey will plod along all day long for a carrot. Our are getting paid money and cannot even plod.

Scunthorpe have been donkeys all season so far, their manager has been under pressure from fans but he managed to whip his lot to urine all over us
