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.
I'm convinced a different Manager would get a lot more points with this squad .January if I was boss I'd bring in an experienced keeper a big target man not sure we need much else? |

I would add an experienced midfield player who can help get control of the game and help bring the best out of Conteh and Hunt. |

We need a better keeper. We need a decent left back. We need a midfielder that has the experience to take control of games. We need a back up centre back. We need another striker. Hurst has done a horrible job of putting this squad together. |

Mullarkey switched positions for Efete for the 2nd half against Stockport. He was given a torrid time by Stockport as they obviously thought he was a weakness; compared to our left back! |

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.
Blinded Loyalty i guess, I know full well im in the minority on that |

Louie Barry is probably Stockport's best player. He ripped Mullarkey to shreds, and yet, didn't get a sniff out of Efete, who most say can't defend.. |

November, December and January are Hurst's worth months.
We average 0.8, 0.5 and 0.8 points per game respectively in the 3 months. Things pick up in February (1.6), March (1.3), and April (1.5).

I agree performances and results have been rubbish, and I'd definitely be more in favour of changing if it wasn't for the fact that we haven't had anyone better than PH since Buckley. You literally couldn't believe a word of what Bignot or Holloway said, and Sladeball was even worse than what we're watching currently. Jolley was probably the best of the others in recent times, but again we struggled under him to score goals when Hansen was mostly injured. I agree with others that the football is pretty crap and the points total is poor but I'd personally trust PH to make changes in January and at least secure a mid-table finish, than take a risky roll of the dice on somebody else - given our shite track record with other managers. Maybe I'm just too risk averse. |
