We should have lost tonight and had we done so we would have been right in the relegation mix at this (early) stage.

If you think the luckiest win I have seen for some time takes us into mid table security then you have rose tinted glasses on.


And we should have got points against Crawley on Saturday, and in other games. If you're just focussing on the performance when we do bad, and the points when we do well, but ignoring those other things, you're just demonstrating you're cherry picking negatives because that is how you want people to feel about Hurst. I'll take an ugly win after some attractive draws and defeats. It all balances out in the end.

Yeah, let's not talk about the things that are inconvenient to your argument.

Be rude. I'm going to be happy Grimsby won. Usually town fans are...

Oh, the irony.

I'm sure you have some redeeming features.

Good teams get wins when they have a bad game, bad teams lose when they've played well.
Last night was a bit of a fluke as no good team would ever play that bad

But we played well against Swindon 3 days earlier, so we can’t be that bad a team can we?

I'm always a little baffled when fans don't give the opposition any credit. The narrative is that we were bad, when in reality, Barrow were very good, and made us look bad.

There also seems to be scant enjoyment for the win, because "it's only Barrow" that we beat. A phrase I heard when leaving the ground.

We weren't good last night, but we now have forward players who can score goals and they pounced on a couple of opportunities, while Barrow didn't. Our keeper was also a factor in that and had a good game.

Not all the team performed badly as individuals, but as a collective, we were wanting.

Barrow looked very good, but there is no doubt that we were also very bad!
