It's overreacting to a bad day to say we're in trouble re. relegation. We're 18/1, we have also got some of the most difficult fixtures of the season out of the way. That said, we have a tendency to have a poor middle part of the season, then pick up towards the end.
Not sure games 8 and 9 are the middle part of the season. |

9 played. 6 against the top 7, and next game is the last game against the top 7. You could not start with a tough run in.
We need to get Wilson and Rose fit, and then it's time to start seeing what this team is made of. Teams lower down have worse attacks and weaker defences, there will be opportunities, and we will need to take them. As the squad gets fitter, that will put pressure on those not performing.
It sucks to lose, but there is a lot of football to be played, and despite a few very frustrating result, it doesn't change my verdict on Paul Hurst being the right man for the job.
I agree with most of that , Rose is a massive miss for us with the way we are playing and it has been a tough start no doubt about it . What is troubling me from the first 9 games is the fact we are making the same mistakes as last season - it's like we are on repeat - throw away leads , and the first game at home that should be a banker we crumble in . We have so many more Crawley type games upcoming - I'm a Hurst fan but if we get turned over by Colchester & Sutton at home , maybe Tranmere away as they are terrible according to their fans ; then I think serious questions need to be asked. |

Have you watch us last season and this?...we are shite...we play 1 man up front, we don't score enough goals, we have zero creativity. At some point our (Hursts) luck runs out, what I'm seeing this season is just that. You can buy your head in the sand and say "oh, but we had a great cup run, our highest league position in years" but that only masks just how poor we are. |

9 played. 5 against the top 7, and 2 more in the top half. Next game is the against a top 7. You could not start with a tough run in.
We all started on 0 points.....we all have the same opportunity to get 3 points every week. Certain teams are above us because they took points off us. He has assembled a largely average squad of players with good attitude ...but.....its both a lack of quality in the final third and lack of options in the final third that is costing us. Either way it's Hursts responsibility , he has signed the quality of player and he sets us up the way he does. I can't imagine that there will be too many teams that have the possession we do but are as bad as turning that into goals or efforts on goal. |

I know a number of us last year wanted Orsi to be given more opportunities and today demonstrated why. Rodgers has looked superb most games but today, not helped by having Mullarkey alongside him, he was given a torrid time by Orsi and how well might him and Rose played together? It’s a mystery to me and looks like Khouri and Hunt are getting the same treatment why lesser players are preferred. |

As the squad gets fitter? That seems to be our primary concern and focus at the moment, doesn't it? "The training is intensive" and "it's a shock for new recruits how intensive the training is" so we are told, but where is the method, the cohesion and the fluidity of a well-oiled side? If Hurst continues to be the right man for the job then I think questions should be asked about the coaching setup as I see little evidence of any obvious rhythm or new ideas in our set plays or indeed general play. Playing a non striker as a lone striker up front, at home. Really? I could understand it a bit better if that lone striker was getting any proper support from the formation we are playing but it still isn't working properly despite many weeks of (presumably) trying to put it right. I actually felt a bit of sympathy for Hurst in his post-match interview. I get the impression he is frustrated with the players so either he has bought badly, or they are not in a system that suits them but to leave yourself exposed to playing a non striker as your only option up front is suicidal. |

Youve wasted a wage on Vernam for 3yrs? which isnt going to help matters. Dread to think what he's on and what we could have used it for
|
| Christ you all wanted him sacked a few months ago. 6th place finish and he's now the messiah and can do no wrong  Update: I think I've got this right - He was the messiah. He then wasn't. He then was again. Then it turned out he actually wasnt. He turned into one big huge messiah again. Now he's not actually the messiah we thought he was . Now I'm hoping he rises again quickly |
