Did we think we'd go up this year?

Unfortunately we were always going to have to consolidate this year, we changed our whole team...

Chesterfield are throwing money at it, same with Wrexham, and any money we make goes to our ex Chairman. It'll take a few years for whoever is in charge...


I didnt expect to be 10th in the National League in January having the urine taken out of us by Bromely

After red crossing the comments that seem popular and vice versa I'm no doubt in a minority in thinking

I'm an avid PH fan and I don't think my opinion will be changed on the person because I simply like the guys pragmatism. That said, today has left me thinking that he's a few steps onto the tight rope in terms of his management of GTFC.

The break we had for Covid was his circuit breaker in terms of trying to break the form that went before it. The 1-1 against Halifax was a decent performance without fruit, we've then gone on to lose the return fixture, beat a very poor Altrincham team, perform well in one half against a play off chasing Bromley team and then fall apart and offer little to nothing in the second and ultimately lose it which is the headline of any game.

I'm desperate for PH to succeed given how much I like the guy but there reaches a point where loyalty becomes stretched and you have to question whether he's capable to get us where we want to be, and that's where I'm now at. As someone referenced earlier, the next 7 games are huge for him given that 5 of them should - on paper - see us take the points. Paper and reality are different things but the reality is the form is manager sacking worthy at many clubs and so if he can't manage 15 from 21 in the next 7 games then even the most ardent PH supporters such as myself are clutching at straws to defend him any further.

Disgusted  The Mighty Bromley do the double with ease over the wimpy mariners . Hurst must have been told he will never be sacked , Our new owners have a lot to learn i am afraid . He  witterd and moaned about not having this and that and when he has it he is still a failure , He needs throwing out the door and fast. If  this is what this window has got us  god help us . We are a shambles end of

Why!!!! have the new owners run out of money. Have they actually put any money in the business of the club so far. I think not. Bought shares yes, but no better than what we had but they seem toothless.

Needs to get a BIG striker who can throw his weight about. We only look dangerous when Waterfall and Pearson go up for corners or free kicks

Interesting stat - one of significance - if we beat that figure it puts the pressure on  - worst season at this level. On the plus side, even discounting the 700 community tickets doled out we had 5k+ there today, whereas in those two seasons we were down to sub 3k crowds for many games. Let's see how many turn up for the midweek homes games coming up,
