There’s a line in that interview which I think is quite telling. When asked about ‘going for it’ he says “well when should you go for it? If you go for it from the 46th minute you might go 2 down and then it’s game over”.

Sums him up for me, and think that was a more honest assessment of his way of thinking than the confected lines about being an optimist one end and pessimist the other. Yes please, from the 46th minute. Maybe even earlier if you’re feeling adventurous.

That’s what Hurst, and a succession of previous managers (and boards) just don’t get. Fans would rather lose 2-0 going for it than lose 1-0 with a steady performance hoping to nick one. Who knows, got for it and you might win 2,3,4-1, nobody’ll complain about the team openly trying to win a match.

Thanks arry but I just can not listen to the same old excuses anymore.

I know they will not sack him yet I just hope the new board see the light before it's too late.

Unless I wasn't listening closely enough he seemed surprised that Wrexham came more into the game by attacking

Just a view from a Wrexham fan - Wasnt much in it were still shite in MF and needs adressing in the next week if we want any chance of going up.

You looked a team lacking in confidence and belief. Both teams missed decent chances 1 of ours was abysmal (Wait for the highlights) but our GK is the best in League and for me and thats why we won.

I thought Mcatee and the lad you brought off was decent but small margins in this depressing league. Only takes a run off 3 games and you back in it. Your definitely top 7 team and play offs are a lottery!

All the best

Thought I wouldn't be doing this one but now snuggled up in a Chester hotel.
Didn't play good, didn't play bad but nul points.
Things need to change rapidly but I really can't see it happening.
Lower half finish for me and much the same next season after being promised the world again.

Thanks Barralad, you give me hope with your description of the game and the new lad. Also good to hear from a Wrexham supporter, I still think all is not lost and that’s also why our new owners won’t sack Hursty yet. UTM!

The thing is he wouldn’t dream of letting his team ‘ Go for it ‘ against any of the lower spending teams in this league either .
He had to go now , accepting out form is an absolute joke for a club out size in this league.
I don’t think out chairmen have the minerals either to be honest as they seem more interested in pies and the club badge then winning games

All these teams keep telling us we will be up there despite us not beating them which is usually a good sign but I can't see it anymore.

It's about time Pragmatic Paul takes some risks because pragmatism isn't winning us anywhere near enough games.
