Good luck to him. I'd preferred him to have stayed.

However, I not that upset. I think sometimes in organisations you need a pretty much wholesale clearout to re-invigorate the squad. Break up the losing mentality.

Quoted from ska face


Sorry but this is an absolutely mental, revisionist take which doesn’t seem to be grounded in any reality I’ve experienced. A cut above most L2 centre halves? I think we probably managed, at best, 3 clean sheets with him in the middle of the back 4 in nearly half a season.

As for versatility, the bloke lived off the back of 1 (one) half decent shift away at Scunthorpe in centre mid and he spent most of that game on his árse from what I can remember.

He was better than what came before him this season, but this sudden elevation of the bloke to the next Franco Baresi is unbelievable.  


Talk about exaggerating. The guy never said owt about Hewitt being too class. Just “a cut above” the average L2 centre back.

He might not be right about that, but Jesus, calm down.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

I think you will find that it was Ian Holloway who first played Hewitt at centre back.

It seems that Hurst gets all the credit for the good things on here.

I've £20 waiting to be matched that Hurst doesn't get us back into the Football League.
That doesn't include a 3rd. tenure.

First come first served.

If I win my bet, I will donate the £20 to the disabled supporters fund.

I'll take you up on that. I don't think it will necessarily be next season, but I do think we'll do it.

If I win my bet, I will spend it all on a very cheap and nasty hooker.

Decent player and no issue at all with him moving to stay in the EFL.

As others have said its better that the decision has been made quickly as it gives Hurst more time to prepare for next season. Hurst has always been good at building solid defence units and I fully expect him to do the same for next year.

Disappointed that he has left but understand his reasons for doing so. Before he became a centre half I would’ve paid his taxi fair to leave as I thought he was poor But his transition was amazing and he was easily the best three players in a poor team utm

The run in to the end of his contract do you mean ? 😉


Well I know loads of people who put the brakes on coming to the end of their contract.

Hes good at building defensive units because 9 out of every 11 he usually puts on the pitch first job is defend even when losing.
