I know there is some unrest with Paul Hurst.
There is no reason to demand promotion. We are a small club that has had some horrendous seasons.


I'm not demanding promotion this year, I'm demanding we don't drop out of the Football League again.

Minimum three wins next month, otherwise I fear we are sleepwalking to relegation.

I had someone on Twitter last season full of angst because he had 'set his mind on promotion '. I agree but we won't go down with this side.

Hurst teams never implode , and when there is any unrest he invariably pulls a result out of the bag - I would be very suprised if we got dragged into any sort of relegation battle .

He’s also taken us back into the Football League. Twice.

Unique in doing that .Does this mean he's a good non league manager who can't progress at the higher EFL level?

I think he's got a ceiling in terms of his abilities which are defence related which also means his team are a pretty dull watch. That said, football is a results business.

I disagree to some point we are a small club which has punched.above our weight but we are a small club with a budget that can compete but also we are in an uncompetitive part of the country which will always hold us back


I can't agree we 'have punched above our weight' at least in  in the last 20 years ;  league 2 or the NL - for me to get to league 1 and sustain would be 'punching above our weight ' with the current state of the lower league's .

If league 1 was filled out with high end clubs I could accept it  but when you have Burton , Cambridge , Cheltenham and up until recently Morecambe + Accrington and many more besides holding their own in league 1 I think in the short to medium term it's not too much of an ask for likewise .

As an aside, Cheltenham are played 11, lost 10 so far this season.  Top scorer is James Gibbons, a Bristol Rovers defender who scored an own goal.

On the flip side, Stevenage (spit) are doing remarkably well, and won again on Saturday, away from home 3-0.

Boils my p1ss.
