Worrying third consecutive 1-0 defeat on the bounce. Looks as if teams have found the blueprint to beat us.
We’ve been below par in the league since the Altrincham game but scraping results had masked it. Looks like the mask is slipping.
Desperately need another striker and anyone who thinks otherwise is a fckwit.
Time to focus on getting wins on the football pitch instead of anything else going on at the club. Massive massive game next weekend.
What a ridiculous thing to say. Firstly a football club should be doing BOTH on and off field improvements every day, not either or, and I believe ours is. And secondly, as if Hurst has been concentrating on anything else other than winning the game today and looking to improve the playing squad when not at Cheapside..

Questions should be asked as something is drastically wrong to take such a sudden dip in form. At the beginning of the season we were scoring for fun and from all positions. Watching a few weeks ago, it was a matter of when, not if we would score.
One of the common denominators to this dip is the inclusion of LJL. Nothing against the guy and understand the love many have for him. But when he’s involved, Town just don’t perform, like we know they are capable of this season and more importantly we don’t get points.

We could have the best striker in the league, if we’re not creating chances, it’s pointless.

If your going to let a few close defeats define the start to the season then you better stop supporting Town now ..... Fenty defined a huge part of the club's history with little or no hope going forward . The new owners have given us back our club and hope .
Fenty 😂😁😂😁😂😂😂
Plenty on here have defined our season based on our early season form saying what a good squad we have.

Here are the answers.. McAtee injured Taylor injured Efete suspended then Covid Clifton struggling with an injury on and off Sousa injured and in and out of the side Hunt not starting games The replacements for these players have not been either good enough or consistent enough..

So our striker replacement is not good enough, Sears has been crap? Disagree. Clifton is a miss. Sousa had a couple of poor games. And the Hunt thing doesn’t make sense.

McAtee makes us tick. He was well off the pace against Wealdstone and has been injured since.
Him and Taylor formed a great partnership.

McAtee > Bapaga Hunt > Coke Sousa > Bapaga Taylor > LJL Efete > Sears Those 10% reductions in ability and output can have a severe effect on an overall team performance.. I never said Sears is crap, he's been solid, but he doesn't offer a threat like Efete and he doesn't link as well with Sousa. An example of fine margins.. but they all count, and they all add up.. FWIW, although Hurst has done a great job in a short space of time, I don't think our squad has enough depth in quality to sustain performances and results when key first choice players are missing. Put our best eleven players out fully fit for every game this season and we urine the league, but that's never gonna happen, as we've found out the past month or so, it's not how leagues are won. I think we need at least three more bodies through the door in January to go up as champions and if anyone thinks we need less, they're deluding themselves.. I don't think we're crap all of a sudden, but i don't want us to be hoping things will come good rather than going out there and tempting some better players to ensure we give it our best shot with these points in the bag already..

Good post. I’ve been struggling to put my finger on the cause of our current predicament and this post helps. We are in a great position in the table and I hope we can capitalise on this. The problem for Hurst is the fans have seen what a fully fit squad can be capable of and anything less than promotion will be hard to swallow.
