Hurst out   yes out

Quoted from Knut Anders Fosters Voles

There aren’t any ‘happy clappers’.

Absolutely nobody on this forum is happy to have lost six out of the last seven matches. Not even professional optimist ‘DB’ will be upbeat about this run.

Find me an alternative manager available and obtainable.

You will struggle with this because you know very little about football.

Ok Dave, keep on clapping

Quoted from Dave Gilberts Left Peg

Having an alternate view doesnt make you a “ happy clapper”. You sound like that gtfcjacko off twitter.

Noone wants to lose football matches, noone wants to lose 6 out of 7. But changing managers doesnt work- not for this club-if we get 5 games down the line and we’ve lost them all, yes maybe. But am i a happy clapper because i dont want PH Sacked?

Sack the girl private, flipping useless!

Which replacement have you lined up?

When was the last time sacking a manager had a positive impact (apart from the two times we appointed PH)?

Genuinely good question. Holloway resigned and first time round it was Scott and Hurst initially. I can’t think of a single occasion when sacking a manager mid season improved the future of the club. Anyone?

Jolley?

Jolley?

Jolley and Groves in the short term to keep us up but it’s hard to argue either improved us beyond that.

This is a real head scratcher. We’re 6th after 18 games. In August, that wouldn’t have been a disaster. But finding ourselves there after 6 defeats in 7, against sides which have largely been either down the bottom end of the league, bang out of form or both, is galling.

That’s a worrying sequence of results, particularly when our next two games are against the top two, and the one after that against fifth (third on PPG). It’s incredibly difficult to predict a win against anyone right now, and even more so against our next three opponents. If 6 defeats in 7 becomes 9 in 10, I don’t think I’m being dramatic in saying that Hurst’s position risks coming into serious question.

In a world of Hurst lovers and haters, I’m definitely in the former camp. But so far this season we’ve seen the very best and the very worst of Hurst teams. Initially hard working, tenacious and almost impossible to beat, and then suddenly overly pragmatic, predictable and soft. It’s hard to compute why things have changed so drastically.

Our early season form should serve as sufficient cash in the bank to keep Hurst in a job for now, but make no mistake, given the fixtures immediately in front of us his credibility as a manager is seriously at risk. He’ll be brutally aware of this.

My concert is this. In those first games the players seemed to play with a certain style and aggression and it was a settled side but Hurst has now reverted to type, he's too bothered about the opposition and how we can nullify their threat rather than playing our game and letting the opposition worry about us.
As poojah says, due to the start we made Hurst has credit in the bank but at this rate he'll soon be into the overdraft, I for one want to see him turn it round and get us back to the early season form but I've serious doubts he has the ability to do it ..
