Theres the little digs at fans again, Course no-ones bloody happy ffs, none of us want this, But equally some do still have faith in PH And dont feel the need to go crowing Hurst Out at every oppurtunity. Would I like PH To stay in charge. Yes i would. Do i think the decision will be taken if we lose Tuesday? Yes i do, and in my heart of hearts it would probably be the right decision, But till that point i’ll continue to back him and the team, doesnt mean Im happy with it
Your dithering. Of course, you want change as long as there is no change. That's teenager thinking. You want change to happen as long you don't have to see the trauma and be bothered by it. You just want to go to bed and wake up the next morning, and it's all done a dusted, without upsetting you. Tuesday is a big day for Town and Colchester. It's a dog eat dog. They'll want something out of the game to keep in touch with FGR. We need something out of the game to keep a buffer away from the slippery slope. Our situation isn't a blip, it's how we are. We give a mediocre performance with beatable teams, a stalwart performance with stronger opposition yielding no points. On paper its a win for Town, but I wouldn't bet my mortgage on it. Roll on Tuesday and lets see where we are at at about 9;40 pm.

What are the ‘little digs at fans’? I haven’t heard any. Can you share some examples?

I think the points total is far more important than the attendance. The attedance is largely baked in anyway due to season tickets. What really counts is the estimated total for the season. We still have a lot of games to play against lower sides. Start to lose a few of them and the board will have to act.
The attendance will indicate further the moodswing of the fanbase.....as we publish the actual attendance not tickets sold then 1000 sth not turning up will highlight what we do already know....some supporters are losing interest due to the boring, zero excitement approach and lack of wins. Away tickets aren't flying off the shelves now...I have asked a couple of people if they want my bring a buddy option and they have said they can't be bothered... If you struggle to shift a cheap ticket then you know its bad.

No it was in relation to Hurst. Has he been making little digs at fans?

In all fairness that works both ways though..I’ve seen quite a few posts on there over last 18 hours or so from some , in response to tweets from individuals expressing opinions on not being happy with things, that the only intent is belittling and being condescending.

Then it works both ways doesn't it? Because I've seen on social media those who want Hurst Out being called "not true fans" etc, because you believe in Hurst that doesn't mean you are a happy clapper and just because people don't believe in Hurst that doesn't make them any less of a fan. Especially on Facebook in the Groups it is rife, some people can't accept others have a different opinion to them. Personally I don't think Hurst has what it takes to turn it around substantially, as he does not have the track record in league 2 to suggest that, I can not see us making league 2 play offs under him at all regardless how long he's given. That's my opinion

In all reality pal, I'm not sure what you're basing that on.... 13 game poor run last season, where in all honesty we played pretty decent in 80% of those games but got nothing and it was the same in the national league. This season is a completely different kettle of fish. He's had the biggest budget, as far as we can ascertain anyway, he's benn given all the backing from the board, got his backroom staff, analyst, masseuses, recruitment specialist etc, etc, yet here we are, 1/4 into a league season, and we've won the grand total of 3 games in 19 competitive matches playing 20% decent and 80% bloody awful. Its time for a change bud, the club n fans reunited when S&P bought the place, but right now, the disconnect is growing, before all good will and favour is lost, we need a reboot, and imo, sharpish.

We still have a lot of games to play against lower sides. Start to lose a few of them and the board will have to act.
In the season we were relegated, we played sides around us in January. Whilst everybody was crying out for reinforcements, we dithered and waited until the last day. By that point we’d lost against all those sides and our fate was sealed. ‘Waiting’ to see if those sides beat us will be too late, we should be looking at those fixtures as a massive opportunity for a fresh face to hit the ground running.
