The key for me will be fitness next season.

The National League doesn't end until May 29th with the Play Off's not finishing until late June. Our season ends on May 8th. We have no excuses not to be the fittest team in the league. We have a massive head start on recruitment and a chance to have a proper extended pre season when others will struggle to get 6 weeks in.

People have thrown many things at Hurst from when he was here before, i don’t recall a time when you could say the players weren’t fit.

Absolutely, I have no doubt if Hurst was here at the start of the season that a) we wouldn't be in this position now and b) we would have had as close to a proper pre season (or certainly be better prepared) then this shambles.

Last week Hurst spoke about plans for pre-season are already underway. A stark contrast to last year.

Doesn't the NL 21/22 season start 2/3 weeks later in August to accommodate for this?  

Just looked, season starts on 21 August, 2 weeks after the EFL.

Still means we'll have up to a 5 week head start on teams and allows us to arrange pre season games against EFL teams before their season starts.

Whilst having the wrong one to start with gives us even less chance


Who’s the right one ?

Youngy was pointing out we have much longer to plan than all the others, and indeed it's good to know Hurst is giving himself even more of a headstart, 2 months before the end of their season.
i don't know if the point was making was this: we were notorious for getting off to poor starts in the Conference, which made it all the more difficult to get into pole position, we were always coming from behind. And i seem to remember that often we (probably due to fenty's budget) made very late signings. I don't seem to recall having our first team squad in place , ready to go from day 1 of pre season.
Perhaps others can confirm or give the lie to this.
Certainly getting off to poor starts wasn't a help. You can't win the league in August/September , but you can lose it in that period
