After Today's Game

Much like the Wrexham game I’ve tossed this one already . I’d be made up with a draw though 🙏

would love a draw but expecting a defeat but it's a funny old game saint

Quoted from grimsby pete

If as expected we lose today can we all stop the hate that goes on after each defeat.

Does anybody really think Hurst is in a job for life and does not care if we win ,draw or lose. ?

Of course he cares and it hurts him Just as much if not more than us.

After today we have a couple of games we can win so that will make it 16 points from 12 games a fair start seeing how many of the better teams we have played.

We always have good periods as well as bad so let's get behind the players and Hurst when they need us not just when we are winning.

Onwards and upwards together !!!!!!!      

What inevitably stops a team from making (in our case) the Top 7, or being relegated,  are not the tough games where you would snatch hands off if offered a draw, but dropping points on the easier ones which should give you 3 points and good goal difference. This is not the big hill that PH dies on today, but he has been wounded on far far smaller ones. Most Mariner fans would be happy losing by one goal, and not take a thumping today.
I personally think we will get some kind of result today, but I fear the future isn't bright if we do not change something. I'm just hoping I'm wrong.

Social media meltdown incoming.

Folk sharpening their metaphoric pencils and pitchforks.

Or fitting ever larger blinkers, fitting ear muffs and piling more sand on their heads.

Just seen the team . My lack of optimism has been justified

Why?

Looks quite attacking to me.

It does actually, he's going for it.

Think its the best he can put out at the minute  . But most of the problems come from how he sets them up and wants everyone to be a defender.

Relieved he's stuck with 433 instead or going with a defensive and cautious 541 (or similar). Wouldn't say its especially attacking though, in that it's just our normal system that we've used this season. And like with any system, your approach and how you play the system will dictate how attacking/defensive it is.

Very weird to have Efete at left back with 2 left backs on the bench though (assuming that's what it is). Bit of a wasted space on the bench really.

Any chance that Harry might go wide and double up for Efetes forward runs? I like Michele's endeavour but always nervy with his recovery positioning, but more attack minded than going with Amos I guess.
