And to make the day even worse we're losing to Wales plus the ref in the rugby.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

I would rather we go down fighting for a win from the off than playing it tight hoping to Nick a 1-0.I

Come on Hursty let's try and win the game from the start of the game not just in the last ten minutes.

Hurst thinks we deserved a point after that!


And there is part of the problem, he would have been happy with a point.

absolutely shambolic, what do the players do in training? Hurst,s choice of team weird, 2 centre forwards, no wingers, there was no attack at all, Waterfall hoofing all the time, i fear the worst now, i did expect us to press on from the Newport game where i thought we played really well, all gone out the window now, 2 home games now and they are crucial, time is ticking.

Quoted from pontoonlew
I’m sometimes skeptical on how a manager can be wholly at fault for a team losing a football match but today is the most blatant example that I think I’ve ever seen.

An absolutely awful selection, my girlfriend has painstakingly watched every game with me this year (even says ‘we’ now despite being a Spurs fan) and even she pointed out that we’d started two slow lumps up top yet no wingers at all to cross the ball into them. Pure stupidity.

Menayese and Coke look dreadful signings & Payne is only better than what we had based on the fact we had Green & Gibson before him. LJL has proven to be exactly what people were slated for thinking he was, a (false) nostalgia signing with very little thought behind it.

We look just as bad as we did under Holloway and the form proves that.


LJL has been ok in the very limited time he's been on the pitch. He's laid off as many good balls as Hanson and Payne with a fraction of the time and been in good positions in the box. I'd rather he started than Hanson, who seems to win a fair few balls but they never go near anybody else.

Thought Hurst got it wrong today and didn’t rectify it. There was point in the game that changes would be key, they made them and we didn’t. On to Tuesday.

That was as bad as we have seen all season.

Absolute dog excrement


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

This ⬆️ Time to put our kock on the block and treat every game like a cup final. If we can win one in two (big if) - or even one in three - and pick up the odd draw, we'll be fine.

What we can't do is set up for a goaless draw week in week out and keep losing.

I'm disappointed, frustrated and deflated by today's result but I've certainly not given up hope, nor written us off.

I appreciate being cup half empty is a coping mechanism for some but if you were a Town  player and saw some of the constant comments on here and on social saying "we're doomed", "we're down"..."the players are shite"...etc...do you think it would have a positive or negative impact on your motivation and morale? I'd guess the latter. It's a self fulfilling prophecy.

Let's get behind the players and give them our 100% encouragement and support between now and the end of the season. You never know...it might prove the difference between league football and the abyss next season.  UTM.

Fenty and his cronies and Runaway are mainly to blame but Hurst also has to take some blame now.

Does anyone really think we have the quality now to stay up because I don't.

Would love to be proved wrong but can't see it.


I agree, but the players only do what Hurst tells them. We never looked like an attacking force till they scored. The team then started to show glimpses of what they can do. I fail to see how a 10/11 man defence is going to win any games. Up to the goal Hurst's tactics were identical to the Crawley game when we got lucky.

Todays defeat is down to him. He wants to think himself very lucky that Eastwood is turning out to be a brilliant goalkeeper otherwise it would have been a heavier loss.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time
