Quoted from jonnyboy82
Anyone who thinks Hurst should go is absolutely deluded. The man just fits at our club , he's a safe bet for us and a very good league 2 manager.  Who else we gonna get ?

Seriously we are in an ok position and were we probably expected to be , my only criticism right now is the usual Paul Hurst issues more worrying about how the opposition set up and again a lack of a marquee striker , someone who's name is always first on the team sheet but that's it and in all honesty Paul really let the transfer window go without really bringing that guy in.

I'm fully a Paul Hurst backer and having seen what gambling with managers gets you then I'm very happy thank you very much. If we were rooted to the bottom and look awful then we look at it differently but we are a good league 2 side and am happy with that despite some clear flaws of Paul.


A vanishingly small number of fans want to change the manager, but if you have the mindset that this is as good as it gets then that is not right either.

If he has clear flaws then why can't they be addressed?

Some of our previous managers would probably have thrived under our current ownership and plenty of good managers today would love the chance to work for/with owners who are supportive and have a long term project.

You are talking out your ar$e...
I know, for a fact, Hurst is lucky to still be in a job.
Stockwood was ready to pull the plug last season when our home form really dipped, Petite and Cook had to convince him to give Hurst more time...


Quite a claim. Don't suppose you want to substantiate your fact, do you?

What a crazy thread. We lose to a team with a playing budget likely between two and three times what we can afford our budget appears to be respectable for this season, I have been to the home games and we have been decent. There is a lot of money flying around in this division and it will be no disgrace to finish in the top 10. Some of the teams with high budgets could finish well below this. Utm

However, some teams with lower budgets will probably finish higher (probably because they carry a greater goal threat).

I'm not Hurst's biggest fan but we lost to a side that are a lot better than us(nothing to do with the ref)
Every time we lose the Hurst out gang come out asking for his head which is daft, I could understand if we lose 5 on the bounce but we haven't and he's trying to build something here so give him a chance I say.


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

Well that is the counter argument that no one has really touched on - the likes of Accrington , Burton  , Morecambe and Cambridge have walked through league 2 with smaller budgets than ours and no doubt some of the lowest in the league over recent seasons  . So it is possible, it's always been a funny league and very unpredictable in the main.

Of course it's possible - you could argue that Hurst very nearly achieved similar at Shrewsbury - but it's about the sum of the parts and we still have some parts that don't seem to fit together, notably in the front 6 (or 5 yesterday).

Two of those (Cambridge and Morcambe) were in the freak COVID season.

We’ve punched above our (budget) weight with Hurst since relegation. The anti-Hurst posts on Facebook are ridiculous. I think we are a couple of quality players short of serious contenders but we haven’t seen what Donovan Wilson can do yet.

Doesn’t sound like we are going to any time soon either.

We’re thin up front - I think we can all agree but it’s hysterical and ludicrous to think Hurst should be sacked in my opinion. The fact that threads like this give oxygen to about 4 folk on here is a bit sad.

It’s what forums do isn’t it? Give oxygen to a variety of opinions. Wouldn’t be much of a forum otherwise.
