I think Sheffield Utd manager might be available tomorrow.
At least we have never seen town lose 8 - 0. At home.
I'd be very happy to see us lose 8-0 at home in the Premier League in x years' time where x is any number.

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.
Bizarre argument. All chances come from opposition errors - when somebody dribbles through opposition defenders and scores, it's because of missed tackles. A belter into the top corner from a long-range shot is only possible if the scorer hasn't been closed down well enough by the opposition defence. Our goals came from a lucky bounce after a good ball in from Eisa and from a piece of really good play by Holohan and Eisa. Theirs came from a shanked cross and some pieces of crap defending on our part. Ridiculously one eyed to claim we were somehow lucky to score yet their goals were deserved. Oh, and their keeper made a really good last minute save which you appear to have forgotten. We could have had a penalty earlier in that move as well, apparently.

It will never change under hurst. He is too set in wanting to defend first second and third. even playes a wingback as no9. Keep doing the same and you will get the same outcome .. Twice most have said we are safe from the big drop and twice it has happened.. Third time on the horizon

If you don't agree with the narrative after a defeat, that Town are crap, the manager is crap, the players are crap and every goal we score is a fluke or a hit and hope, and every chance created was from a sloppy bit of defending, then you are somehow deluded and easily pleased.
The stats tell a different story, but of course, stats are crap too.
Think it's time to bow out for a while and leave all you doom mongers and naysayers to fight over the red meat.
And for what it's worth, I quite enjoyed the game yesterday, result apart.
Carry on.
We were told by many to judge the team after a couple of months. We’ve had a couple of months. We’re not very good and regressing but that’s not a popular narrative for the establishment.

I dont get stats or XG Much, but our XG Yesterday was 3.5. Not bad for a side that supposedly created nothing Guess at the end of the day all that matters is we didnt take the 3 points though

Orsi was about a 1 goal every 3 game striker before he came to us, albeit mainly at non-league. That's relatively prolific though compared to most of the forwards we sign.
He was a 1 goal in every 3 games striker if you measure it by minutes played while he was at town - https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/danilo-orsi/leistungsdaten/spieler/641124/plus/0?saison=20224 goals, 4 assists, 1119 minutes played (or approximately 1 goal and 1 assist every 279 minutes, which is roughly 3 full games). No idea why our recruitment man wasn't waving these stats in Hurst's face when he proposed letting him leave on a free and replacing him with a full-back pretending to be a striker.

The most important stats arw the results at the end of a game and ours are abysmal, just two wins this season and shocking home form.

Not sure how the hell that figure came out as in reality we, as a team, created very little but Crawley did give us the ball on numerous occasions in the first 30 minutes it was looking like they all had a bet on us winning. Second half we created very little, Clifton through on goal stands out but he never looked like scoring and the odd ball in the box with a couple of scrambles was about it. How Ginny enjoyed that game god only knows but we’re all different so not a criticism just bemusement.

Swindon have scored 24 in their 8 League games have players have scored 9 and 6 goals plus Charlie Austin. Will we be going 5 at the back and hoping to eke out a nil nil against all the stats as at Wrexham.

Only proves it's a load of nonsense seeing as we didn't even have a shot on goal in the second half. Against a very poor side that will plummet down the league any time soon IMO.
