I appreciate that we are all entitled to an opinion - but what a nonsense this titled thread is. Our owners /management have a vision for the long term progress/ sustainability of our club whichI fully support. For those who wish for instant success over PH - who do you suggest?
The Owners/management might well have "a vision". .. But that doesn't mean it is coming to or ever will come to fruition does it? I would have thought that the majority of us are pragmatic enough to not expect instant success. What we do expect and want to see is some decent football and not this slow, negative, tinkering and depressingly familiar, turgid crap we've had to put up with for far too long.

I'm not suggesting Paul Hurst should be sacked but the owners/management's first responsibility should be to keep this club in the EFL and if there is the slightest chance we may get relegated then they should seriously be looking at his position seeing as he has already taken us down previously as well as spending probably our biggest ever budget for sometime on a squad that currently is looking a bit dodgy. It is the sole responsibility of PH to ensure that doesn't happen.

Give Hursty a break….. He’s as drunk off as we are…..but needs support rather than criticism . We don’t know half what’s going on …… There’s no magic potion in division 4 as it was……

No, for about 30 seconds I was saying, "Now let's not let them back into it!" 😂

This raises an interesting point about if a working partnership between the owners and manager needs to be built on "shared values" or whether a mutual respect of their different roles is enough? For the level we are at I would imagine a lot of potential managers would understand the need for a club to be on a journey to be a central plank of the community, to be sustainable in the sense of recruiting well and selling at a profit to reinvest into the team. What's not to like? Personally I don't think that man has to be Hurst necessarily, both parties know he will leave one day. How he leaves is more pertinent; we all hope it is because he is head hunted not sacked, but I for one am happy to leave the values of the club in the hands of the owners. Stockwood and Pettit are incredibly supportive of Hurst but they will bend to footballs will in time - everything is defined by results and performances.

I think Sheffield Utd manager might be available tomorrow. At least we have never seen town lose 8 - 0. At home.

Agree with the above statement but, thinking about every thing that is going on at GTFC let me put this point. Our coaching staff is basically defensive personnel....think about it, who in the coaching staff has a forward looking idea? That's why we are difficult to beat, I love watching Doig comes off the bench snarling at the team but when Croudson does it I'm thinking 'what the ***k '. Maybe an attacking staff member is the way forward. I've got my hard hat on ready for the abuse.
As my Dad would say, teams play in the image of their manager Buckley teams were all about playing great football and creating chances for the strikers (how he wanted the game to be played when he was playing) Kevin Keenan’s sides were all about scoring at least one more than the opposition. We’ve got a left back and a centre back as our dynamic duo and all they were bothered about when playing the game was to keep a clean sheet - which is why we setup not to concede and keep our fingers crossed at the other end that someone scores And if the is the best that he can serve up with average gates above 6,000 and a cup windfall then we’re in big trouble I just hope Stockwood & Pettit wake up and smell the coffee We’re going absolutely nowhere with Hurst in charge

Exactly!
We created more chances yesterday than in any other game this season. Far more than Crawley did for sure.
The narrative on the fishy is results driven and most posters seem to lose their mind when we lose, totally overlooking anything positive.
Pyke has had yards of print, but not much mention of Eisa scoring his 5th goal in 8 appearances for instance.
We barely created a thing. Most of our chances came from Crawley errors. Our goals came from a fluke cross and a piece of individual brilliance. Zero shots in the second half - you’re very easily pleased.
