I was there, remember the Smith goal really well. My god, we’ve dropped like a f#cking stone since then.

I know that was in jest poojah but losing 14 out of 15 could be a realistic forecast given our next series of fixtures, and the current state we are in.
I honestly thought we'd pluck a draw or two here or there in the present run and not even that has happened. So yes I'm spooked, proper spooked that maybe this isn't just 'transitory' like the inflation that is bedeviling my weekly tesco shop.
Could another manager get a better tune out of this club, I don't know but then again look at Chesterfield they managed to pluck James Rowe out of nowhere and look how well he's done.

He’s been given a small fortune to sign whoever he likes though

Daryl Clare channel(island)ing his inner Romario for the 4th. Fake shot, into soft shoe shuffle, into favela toe poke. Jogo bonito.
That's first class.

What's our win/loss record with McAtee in/out the side....P.H challenge this Jan is to add more quality so we are not so reliant upon him. When he comes back we will be better..guaranteed.

Except that stat was proven to be rubbish
Didn’t hollowhead take two fashionable clubs to the divine premiership Crystal Palace and Blackpool. Support him all you like but his overall stats show he’s losing it.

And how do you know that. Tishmanger !!! whatever, did not cost the 250k as time and again stated. I understand it was less than 150k and his wage won’t be 3k either. Fact is we spent our money on pots of paint, scotch eggs and glass screens. Result not good so far is it.

I’m firmly in the Hurst Out camp but this narrative by a very small number of people that we should’ve spent X amount on one player instead of improving our infrastructure for years to come is an absolute nonsense.

The easiest thing in football is to blame the manager and demand he be replaced. After 20 years in the wilderness we should have learned that changing the manager doesn’t guarantee either success or improvement.
First time round I was not a PH fan but thought his reappointment would keep us in the EFL but an horrendous first 8 games meant that this was misplaced optimism. The first ten games this season witnessed us play some of the best football I’ve seen us play in many a day but recently results have not been poor but appalling. However, I think we have made some decent signings and others that have proved to be not of the standard or have the consistency required to play at this level.
For me we struggle, as town teams have done for years, by not having the required quality in midfield and if we can address this we should still finish in the top five at least. I am disappointed to hear Hurst continually building up the opposition and believe he should be asking if they can cope with our qualities not worried about theirs. That said I am firmly of the opinion he shouted given January to make decisions on which loanees we retain and what players are brought in which will hopefully include at least two midfield players and a striker. If we can then push on and return to winning ways we stick with him but if improvement is marginal or intermittent we sever ties at the end of the season and start again.
Thankfully this is not your decision to make.
