I’m not sure what the Paul Hurst sycophants get out of the deal but I genuinely thought it was dire when we were stuck playing cautiously and celebrating draws in non-league, for years.

Who knew it could get any worse?

Two wins.

Two wins from nineteen matches and we are supposed to have no doubt who is best to manage our club.

It is laughable how blind some people are to the definitions of success.

Quoted from Hagrid
Want any more proof that he’s the right man for the job, go listen to his RH Interview. Thought he was superb


Sorry, nothing was 'superb'. His waffling about wanting to get on with changes as the season closes deflected away from his selections and game plan. Was Wiliams injured or was it a change of shape issue? Why no Lamy to replace Williams as both Hanson and LJL need pace to balance their lack of mobility? What's up with Ira Jackson?
Seems that Hurst is too preoccupied with the off pitch distractions. As a post match interview it was poor. JT too concerned whether the ref had gone to the dressing room or not FFS. Spent too long second half talking about the sending off instead of commentary. Wish I could turn him off and just listen to Crofty.
We don't need to know yet what Hurst wants to change for next season. Only points matter. Players listening to him say he has some big decisions to make could make them feel he has already accepted relegation.
No comment would have been better than throwing Morais under the bus. Hurst may inspire you Hagrid and loyalty is a valuable trait but surely you are disappointed in our performances since January?

You know full well Arry that PH is not 100% responsible for that


I am afraid to say he is reaponsible as the manager who had a transfer window and over half a season and has taken us firmly to the bottom of the league.

Quoted from Yoda
For me Hurst has done nothing but shores up the defence Payne was his guy who was rubbish.
I would like a fresh start next season across the board.


Well I agree with you for once.

Of course we’re going to win more than (extrapolating Hurst’s formidable record out for a full season) *five* games a season in non-league...

Before we have to start reading it in September, that won’t make his tenure a success.

Neither will the fact we can’t name a natural successor.

Neither will the fact we’ve not conceded for a while.

Neither will the fact we got a “good point” at the the club third bottom of the Conference.

They could have been left to their own devices and arguably won more matches than they have since Hurst arrived for our new year.

Yes, Holloway was a disaster. But frankly the fact that Hurst has delivered just 14 points in 19 games is what is sending us down. Even a point a game would have given us a fighting chance.

The team performs better now, we don't concede as many as we used to. But results are worse. We managed 20 points from the 21 games before he took over.

I can understand the concept of 2 steps back to go 3 forward. But given how long it has taken to sure up the defence, it has in reality been 5 steps back to go 3 forward and now time is almost up.

6 games left. It looks like 4 wins is an absolute minimum if we are to stay up. That would give us 46 points. That might be enough, but it would be a damn close run thing.
