The team were definitely playing for Hurst despite what some people are saying and we match Chesterfield, top of the league very well today without our key members of the team. I hope our new owners have the patience that many of us have as this isn’t going to happen over night as some folk seem to think……

But Chesterfield are saying they’ve got 11 players out injured, suspended. Also if we recruit in January it doesn’t have to be cheap, I would assume the new owners have budgeted this season on a certain attendance, but as the actual attendances are above this figure then in theory there should be additional money in the bank to spend.

Appreciate your point of view but ‘very nearly a draw’ doesn’t get you anything. I’d much rather we’d had a right go but that’s down to a manager who is looking after himself and isn’t (and never was) bothered about the fans.


Well that’s a simplistic assumption, and you, above most, know better than that. I can understand going back to basics today and trying to grind something out. I’ve been watching football long enough to get that.

Wait till Boreham wood school us in ten days time, then you will see some outcry on here. I get that hurst had to do a rebuild and he’s had some key injuries and suspensions but his in-game management is appalling, successful managers are not afraid to change tactics or subs well before the 80 minute mark, Hurst does neither. He’s an hour from his house so is happy to go through the motions

If you had a point, you ruined it with that crass remark at the end.

Didn't like the bloke first time around, didn't want him back, didn't keep us up so would have got rid at the end of last season.
But having said that, he's here and started the season like a train so I would give him to the end of January to see if he can recapture that form. If not I would boot him out and bring in Anthony Limbrick.


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

Hell of a commute for Limbrick. Petrol has gone up so no chance he’s driving up here!

This is where I feel for the board tbh...do they stick with Hurst and let him bring in players in January, or boot him out and give somebody else the chance to rebuild again?..right now they are trying to rebuild the club from the ground up and recent results have made their task even harder.
Keeping the fans onboard is tough right now and I wouldn't want to be in their shoes as it stands
