Just back.

I know we only 6 games in, but I just noticed only Wimbledon have conceeded less than us...
And we've already played 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th in the current standings which is very impressive.

When they have pace out wide or up front teams will defend deeper, not just us. We also drop deeper when Waterfall plays.
It's easier to press from the front if the defence also push higher up.

Quoted from Rodley Mariner

Those of us who don't understand football agree with the above but experts like SonofMadeleyinho can see through it.

If we just attack and press all the time, we will urine the league.

Another 90 mins further proves my point. When we don't play Hurst ball with 10 in the 6-yard box hoofing to a loan striker and instead just attack, press, and harass teams we look and are often the better team.

Played well, and never really felt too worried at the back, controlled the majority of the game, still not creating enough clear chances when we attacked, but certainly an improvement this week.

Oh and a decent reffing performance to boot, not something we often get to say at this level.

It's nice being right  

So if we win, you’re right but if we lose, Hurst is wrong.

The levels of delusion and self congratulation in this post are staggering.

Hurst when setting up the tactics for the Gillingham game.

"What you think Doigy, lets not go with Hurstball this week as i think it'll give us a better chance at winning. Instead i propose we go with plan b lets call it Hurstball Pro"

Wtf some people must think football is a one sided game where the opposition have no impact on what we do.

I'm keen to get a proper understanding of your definition of "Hurst ball" as you call it.

Is it planting "10 men in the 6 yard box and hoofing it to a lone striker"? Or is it "attack, press and harass teams"? It's just that you've used both descriptions in the same paragraph.

If it only relates to the first description then who was it who directed the tactics on Saturday? Perhaps it was you who slipped into the changing room before the match, and as soon as Paul Hurst's back was turned you then instructed the players to forget "Hurst ball" and play the match your way?

You don't know the faintest thing about Paul Hurst and his tactics which are thoughtful and variable to suit a given situation, and have on occasion completely ripped teams apart (Chesterfield away during the promotion season springs to mind amongst many examples).

Nice to be right, did you say? You're not only wrong, you're also making yourself look a bit of an idiot on this forum. Maybe you should find something else to do with your spare time.

If and when we find evidence of it we'll let you know.

So right you even get a deadline day deal that no-one else gets to see.

Superb performance all-round, can't add anything to the praise that is already written.  One thing I will add is that I thought we looked dominant yet always felt we had another gear or two if needed, which is incredibly encouraging.
