Say what you like. I'm sure you won't mind if people tell you their opinion in response.

Bollox!
Just got back from a walk and seen the result. Thought it was a tough draw when it was made, but recent form by both sides made me think it was an even tougher game than it would have been.
I don't know how we played because I didn't listen to the game, but they are only a league below us and in good form on their own patch. There will be bigger shocks this weekend.
Gutted, but that's footy. If you are not at it, teams from leagues below will take advantage.
Worrying run we're on and McAtee is a big miss. He makes us tick.

P1ss poor. Zero goal threat again. Formation change didn't work, players looked lost going forward. No matter how much you dominate a game if you fail to score or even register a decent attempt on target then you leave yourself open to a mistake, a decision a wonder strike.
Third game in a row.
Missed Hunt, Mcatee and Sousa.

Where were Sousa and Hunt today? I appreciate he thought he had to rest players (against crappy lower league opposition) but the three young lads were clearly only on the bench for experience and to make up the numbers.
There was no one to bring on who could change the game, we had so few shots on goal even LJL didn't miss any easy chances that's how bad we were!

This just demonstrates Hurst has not abandoned his obdurate streak,his failure to bring in a striker is now becoming culpable negligence . 6 league points and a potential cup run down the drain,this could prove costly at the end of the season.Come on Hurst the extra revenue from increased attendance means we can well afford a decent striker.Do not squander the feel good factor the fans have only limited patience.

Possibly the players that Hurst mentioned as being injured during the week and would miss this game?

It's a sad day when we go out of the cup to the team in a league below us. The mitigating summary is the ref gave them a penalty and he failed to give us one. Again the lack of a No 9 is apparent and don't we all know it.
We also know that Hurst said he had been out trying to get one and for whatever reason, they didn't want to come. It's alright shouting get a No 9 but you have to get the RIGHT person. 1878 have already said that money will be made available if needed, so it's needed but for the right person. The right person is someone who adds to the entire squad, Wrexham and Stockport have splashed the cash but are not in the top two.
Positive as I am I always knew we would have bad periods, it's called football and all clubs go through it. Six months ago mid-table was said, by some, to be the best we might get or even get into the top 7! We have had a dream start and reality now kicks in, I've enjoyed it and we should have embraced it.
Played 3 and had no goals and that is a problem. All managers want a goalscorer but as some have pointed out managers in the leagues above us are reluctant to release their 2/3 rate strikers because of a possible injury to their main strikers. The Jan window is still a long way off for them to release anyone. So the problem for Hurst is not money but the availability of identified strikers, be it on loan or a signing.
The Hurst out brigade are out in force along with the negative posters on here. We are all supporters of the club( Apart from Imps & Scunts on here) so stop being negative. Accept the results as part of the game and don't forget a bad run is better now than a bad run in spring. We just seem to have a run of away games so we ALL should be thankful to all the fans who travel to the away games.
Win the next 2 games and today will be forgotten. The future is still rosy and my glass is half full, we should all get behind the squad and give them our full support.

Possibly, we don't know but I suggest 'resting' is more likely. He is taking great care of Hunt (like Max Wright) but doesn't seem to know whether he prefers Sousa or Bapaga No skin off my nose we wouldn't have won the cup anyway and compared to usual we have already had a cup run by beating Bromsgrove I am more concerned how three defeats without troubling the opposition keeper is affecting our league hopes
