Paul Hurst

Quoted from LondonMariner43

The fact is that under Holloway the team were completely lost and he was picking a different side every week.  Yes we weren’t in the relegation zone but only because we picked up some lucky wins early on.  We were getting regularly thrashed.  Even a small amount more luck under Hurst and we’d have 4-6 more points and be looking safe.  

In terms of points per game Paul Hurst is still behind Holloway, you would have hoped after 17 games he would have shown an improvement on those statistics.

Holloway, slade, bignot, jolley had all these things against them but none were as bad as this excrement show.

13. Huge squad nowhere near good enough without even a settled style of play

14. Too many loans

15. Poor budget

16. Missing out on a striker target

17. Injuries to experienced players

18. Experienced players with confidence destroyed

19. Fitness nowhere near where it should be after shambolic pre season

20. Small section of snowflakes with attachment issues after PH made them look silly last time

Quoted from Knut Anders Fosters Voles

1. We are a complete basket case of a club

2. Geographically unattractive

3. At least one hour’s drive from the closest major city that isn’t on the River Hull

4. Players not wanting to move mid-pandemic making 2 and 3 particularly pertinent at the time and with short contracts offered

5. Rubbish training facilities

6. The (negative) reputation of the majority shareholder within the football industry

7. Average (at best) wages when the other points are factored in

8. Off pitch instability

9. Relegation threatened

10. Covid contracts

11. NE Lincs is not very cosmopolitan

12. Cold easterly winds

Most of those could apply to a poorly supported Barrow but they seem to be doing better than us?

Well the big difference is that they have a cold, wet westerly wind.

Bloody hell. Do you work in PR?

Yeah but I do it on the pitch 😉

He came in at the end of December to a dreadful squad where the only genuine talent was immediately recalled from loan. Recruiting in January is generally considered to be difficult but then the entire country went into national lockdown on January 7th which was a pretty unique challenge to throw into the mix. We also had dreadful weather which meant we had weeks where our dreadful training facilities were out of action.

Genuine question for those who claim PH has made it worse - do you think he would have allowed the  groundsman to be furlouged, Vernam to leave, one friendly to be played, the season to start with that squad?

Barrow train in Knutsford so their players can live in Cheshire, Greater Manchester, Staffs etc and easily commute without uprooting family.

Love how its called blind loyalty

Only manager to get us promoted since 1998. The fact that sacking managers does not flipping work. And realising that we arent a big club anymore. Due to off field decisions
