Hurst

Quoted from arryarryarry

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.

Doesn't matter how many times he watched us does it? He knows as well as we do how bad we are, but without some more recruitments, it's difficult to make a silk purse out of a sows ear with the players he has at his disposal.I

i know we need players but you can motivate and make us hard to beat hurst has done neither.

He’s not flipping Jesus. This lot needs putting down. They’re flipping abysmal.

Quoted from arryarryarry

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

I agree but one donkey team turned up  and the other couldn't be bothered to get out of the stable.

Quoted from ginnywings

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.

Of course Green will start we have nothing else!

Think the question is Ginny, given that he has watched us prior to taking over, why on earth would you select Green, why sign Habergham if that means Preston has to play to cover him & why have we not got more competitive in matches?

I think a number of us thought that within the squad there was enough decent players to put together, with Hurst’s organisational ability, a half reasonable side capable of scraping together a few wins. That may still come but with each game that passes the chances of survival seem that bit further away.

You can only motivate those who are looking for motivation. You can only bring out potential in those that have it.  A totally lost cause is exactly that !!
Some folk need a hug, some a kick up the @rse. But some are beyond redemption. It’s a manager’s job to sort out which is which. But if you inherit a bunch of losers your hands are tied.

I think the only silk purses are attached to Green and Hanson's boot bags. The weight of their wages has skewed managers' selections and tactics for far too long. Whether the Board have constantly pressed the point with Managers that they should extract more value from this pair or what, but the indulgences have to stop. It was bad enough that Ben felt he had to pick Green but for Hurst to follow suit begs the question, has he watched many games, at least on video?
To start both of them today was never going to work. They never have worked as a partnership. Green ball watches and fails to anticipate flicks or passes. He is slow to get back onside and gives away fouls. Yet he starts the second half!

Hanson should have been on the bench and , just like the Port Vale game, we should have gone for pace at least. I can only think that we have been turned down by several forwards. Still think that Jackson is worth a start.

You honestly think Jackson is a better bet than Hanson? If so, we are well and truly fooked. As for Green, he has been playing simply because he has been the only fit, experienced striker we have.

Jackson and Gibson are nowhere near the required standard and I'm far from sure they ever will be. Until and unless we bring in a new striker or two, we are stuck with what we have, which ain't much.

Seen enough from Jackson in his 2 sub apperances in the last 2 weeks to know he will not be good enough
