Yep and Hurst lets them, he doesn't attack teams and the few times he does are the times when we are the better side. Just like in the Salford game midweek, we attacked them for 90 minutes and didn't let them back in once bar one or two moments, compared to today, we attacked Mansfield at the start and didn't let them have the ball when they did get the ball we harassed them and their passing was poor and all over the place (same for the County game when we pressed and harrassed them) we scored and then slowly drifted deeper and deeper for the next 20 minutes, let them back in and then let them control the game for the next 70. Hurst is toothless. If there was ever a game to go at Mansfield it was today, we're the home side, at practically full strength and they were weakened and showing it at the start, but thats fine, we'll have another season with what? 6 home wins all season.
Well he doesn't does he? Can't stop them would be more correct. Unless and until people realise that there are other teams on the pitch, who also want to attack and score goals and win games, then you are going to spend a lot of your time disappointed and ranting on forums. It's easy this footy management lark. All you have to do is stop the opposition from being better than you are. It's so simple. |

Absolutely correct about Luke Waterfall. I love the guy to bits but he makes us play far deeper because of his lack of pace. Niall Maher can’t come back soon enough.
Yeah, we were saying the same. Thought PH might have brought on Efete when Luke got injured, either at centre back, or at right back with Mullarkey going across. |

Because they were only better than us, once we let them be better than us, those first 20 minutes when we attacked and harrassed them they barely got a kick of the ball and when they did they were panicked and rushed. Mansfield was only better than us when we stopped doing that, it was the same at County and we all saw what happened against Salford when we did it for 90 minutes
*Newsflash*……you don’t get to just control every game just because you’re called Grimsby Town, you muppet. |

He does, once again today instead of killing off a team at home while we were clearly on top with our high press and attacking style (which he has in him, we all saw in last time he relegated us to the conference) which we were for those first 20 minutes, he had us drop deep once agains to "DeFeNd tHe 1 NiL" and let them back in. Instead of going at teams for the kill he bends over drops his pants and lets teams have their way, it was the same in his first stint and it's the same in the second. Don't get me wrong he finds absolute gems of players Conteh and Rodger already look like player and young player of the season, but he has the tactical sense of a WW1 general, one plan over and over again. |

You are putting the fact we got relegated on Hurst and not the sharp object stick sniffing sharp object Holloway? Jesus wept |

And hope their manager missed that lesson at manager school. Otherwise you end up with something of an impasse. |

If you'd listened to the post-match interview, you'd have heard Hurst say it most definitely wasn't the plan to sit back and defend after taking the lead. That's clearly what the players ended up doing but it wasn't under instruction.
Looked at to me that our team didn't think we were as good as them so sat back and defended by instinct. Unfortunately, it also meant we stopped trying to play football enough when we did have possession.

But you can't just kill off a team because you think we should. Football doesn't work like that. They were head and shoulders better than us from the 15th minute and it had nothing to do with anything Hurst could control. Did he give the players a signal to drop off and be defensive from the 15th minute? The answer is no by the way. |

Don't take this the wrong way but every time we don't win you come across like a petulant simpleton. |
