We could win the league with a decent number 9. We might never have a better chance. Compared to the cost of not winning the league. Surely it's worth pushing the boat out?
Agree with everything you say but it still doesn't matter how much the boat is pushed out, it still doesn't mean Hurst will get the player/s he wants. What sort of offer do you want him to make? Double the wages of the next highest? Yes money talks for many players to sign (see Stockport, Wrexham and Chesterfield) but to what degree do you push it to so as not to piiss the other players off. Its a fine line that Hurst is walking on at the minute. He's damned if he does, damned if he doesn't.

and out come the daggers by the poisoness fishy
Getting pretty fed up of sanctimonious crap like this. We would be apoplectic if we’d lost three straight under Hollowords/Fenty. Let’s be honest, performances at Wealdstone and Kiddy have not been at the level we’ve set.

Some of you would. The more rational of us wouldn’t.

First off, I'm completely behind the new board and Hurst, so it pains me to say this, but let's not beat about the bush, or sugarcoat it, blame the ref, the rub of the green, their keeper, etc...that was very poor.
Admittedly it was my first game of the season so maybe my expectations were too high after the euphoria from our start to the campaign, but that performance was woeful. Did we even have a shot on target first half?
We didn't seem to have a game plan and we were completely toothless up top.
I was there with two neutrals who both thought Kidderminster were the better team.
Depressingly it seemed no better today than it was under Holloway/Jolley. It was embarrassing at times. As were the little kids at the front giving the Kiddy keeper the male masturbator sign throughout the game.
I appreciate we've had some injuries so some changes were forced upon us but it wasn't too long ago we were saying one or two out, another couple can seamlessly come in take their place and do a job.
Losing today is not the end of the world, and may be it will be a silver lining in the long run (I hope) but I can't help thinking what if?
Anyway, if my auntie had a member she'd be my uncle, so onwards. UTM!

We were shot, we’ve had a bad spell if you call it that, we know we could do with another striker…nothing surprising here nor is it new.
It’s not as simple as just signing someone. Remember, we made a fair few quid in the summer that could’ve gone a long way to sign a forward but instead it went in to the pocket of that lifelong GTFC fan who ruined the club…
Hurst won’t sign just anyone and I’m thankful of that. Simply throwing cash or signing any Tom male private or Harry isn’t always the answer…remember Richard Brodie?
Chances are, the less rational are only as drunk off as they are Becauee of the great start we had. Had we had the start most predicted which was bitty and stop star nobody would be that arsed…

Jason and Paul know what the problem is, they know what to do to fix it. Finding the right people to come into the team is not a problem but getting them to sign for us is.
Also, don't forget Chesterfield, Wrexham and Stockport have set the bar high in this league for spending. Many will think all teams have that sort of money, so that is not a good situation when need a striker or two.

All this site does is aim bad vibes towards the club when in reality its in a good place for the first time in decades! Chill we all know whats what but starting threads about the new owners and a manager after a few defeats is ridiculous, it all snowballs from social media. Keep the faith, keep going and keep it town!

Like most, I am delighted in the start to this season on and off the pitch. However, it’s now quite apparent that we are a couple of players short of what’s required. I said at the start of the season Id be happy with the play offs. And that still applies. But, given the fact we still don’t have an official number 9 ( must be a saving on the wage bill) and the size of the crowds at BP. I will be disappointed if we don’t see some reasonable quality coming in in January. UTM.
Isn’t a lot of the profit still paying off ‘you know who’?
