JS did say Hurst has the money to bring in new players, and the decision is down to Hurst. Bell is a loanee and by the sound of things may be here till the end of the season, so it looks like Jan for a new signing, or 2.
Not a pop at you DB but people think Hurst can bring in players like we're part of some fantasy league. It's not as easy as that for numerous reasons. Maybe just maybe we're not the "mighty" Mariners again just yet.

I should probably wait until the morning for this but here goes. That was truly woeful. The performances against Wrexham, Altrincham and Woking are a distant memory. If you are going to play Pearson and Waterfall together then their simply has to be some cover with a bit of pace. The first goal came from the best single pass of the night but the defending from the eventual cross was abject. Solihull didn't have to do much apart from wait for us to give them the ball back which we did with alarming regularity. Gone are the inventive, incisive moves from the likes of Clifton, Sousa and Hunt. They've been replaced by monumentally poor first touches and wayward passing denying the team any momentum. When we did get within striking range the new all too apparent lack of confidence restricted attempts at goal. Their keeper made a couple of reflex saves from goal mouth scrambles but other than that had a far more comfortable night than he should have had. For once Mcatee was unable to stamp his mark on the game-despite having longer to try to do so than Hurst normally gives his subs. The second goal was hysterical in its ineptitude. Yes we were pushing for an equaliser but considering the experience in the team the right to expect someone to have covered the possibility of the such a break was obvious. I'm not keen on singling out individuals but Clifton merely escorted their lad towards the goal. The Clifton of a month ago would have done far better. The least said about Maccas contribution the better but it was akin to your favourite pet dog laying down expecting to gets its tummy tickled. There was still time for a Solihull player to run along the goal line swatting away "tackles" before Macca partially redeemed himself to prevent a salt rubbing in third. Not many positives but Bell looked more than useful in patches until he was confronted with the reality that Town's forward line have to be expert foragers able to fashion chances out of pitifully weak service. Towns MOM (at least in my view) by a country mile was Efete. Defended more than adequately and offered a real threat going forward which Solihull found difficult to deal with. Borehamwood Saturday. Not sure where Hurst goes to try to get tonight's players "up for it" but I'd put my mortgage on Mcatee starting.

That’s a pretty strong response from you mate, and, as I know how you usually express yourself in a very balanced way, it’s a bit of a concern that you should describe tonight the way you have.

Thanks for the summary Barra. It more or less confirms what most of us heard on the radio tonight. My thought are with you and all fans who are travelling home tonight after that gutless performance. I hope you all have a safe journey back home.

Bromley player??
Well spotted..in my defence the performance had me thinking of the second half Bromley debacle. Now corrected.

I know where you're coming from and do understand his problems. I do expect a couple of permanent decent signings in January though. Many talked of the strength in depth about 2 months ago, alas this has come to haunt us recently as our depth seems to be rather shallow.
