That's a positive but I don't believe we have the ability to make good on that.


The last few minutes showed some ability but Hurst failed in his tactics and to build on Tuesday's win.

Quoted from marinerdazza
I did have some deluded optimism, but it’s gone.

I thought we fluked Tuesday night, frankly, but I hoped it might spark them on to better things.

Everything about that game was dreadful. Reminded me of non league. Which is appropriate.


That striker who came on reminded me of a Sunday “pub” league never mind non league, but he was still too good for us

We will be ok when the grounds get better, we are not a mud playing team


Other teams play in all conditions and put us to shame, the excuses have run out.

There is nothing positive I can take from that which would make me have a modicum of hope that we’ll stay up.


Agreed, and what’s worse is we changed a winning side, sat back on that pitch and relied on a young keeper to keep us in it
One goal settled it and surprise surprise they got it with a sub striker, pity ours wasn’t taken off

Quoted from pen penfras


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.


Agree re Lenny, he had some nice touches in the time he was on, should be one of the starters in a 442

That was as bad as we have seen all season.

Absolute dog excrement


You didn't watch the Tranmere game, dog excrement was compliment.

In my mind we've only had a couple of games with a team that Hurst has built (and even then he has clearly not got who he wanted - those comments about players not wanting to come to a bottom-of-the-table club were quite telling). Bumming around with IH's cast-offs was a waste of time, though unavoidable until finding people who actually wanted to sign for us.

I do get the gameplan today. Harrogate are all about launching the ball into the box at every opportunity, so he wanted a few big defenders to be able to deal with that. To be fair, we did deal with pretty much all that was thrown at us, until we switched off once and Beck took advantage.

The real issue, as ever, is how toothless up front we looked. 3-5-2/5-3-2 is fine if, in attack, the full-backs push up, which they obviously didn't. Even on the occasions when a long ball forward found Payne/Hanson, neither seemed capable of holding up the ball until support from the likes of El Mizouni (very quiet today) and Matete (looks shattered) came.

I'd quite like him to say "right, this is our system and we're sticking to it". Then at least if we're forced into some rotation (inevitable with our fixture list) the players *should* automatically know the patterns and the gameplan expected of them. And I would like that system to be his 4-4-2 because there is a better balance between defence and attack IMO.
