No he isn’t. At least only the armchair supporters.

Yeah, I'm always very sceptical of the talk around upset in the dressing room etc.  A lot was made of Rose's reaction to coming off, it was one of the few things I actually liked about Saturday.  I want players to be drunk off when they're taken off, especially when we're chasing a game.  

The comments from Maher's Mum on Twitter, she's waded in before hasn't she?  I take that with a pinch of salt.

Clifton post game sounded lower than a snakes belly.  But so he should after such a drab display.

But something distinctly feels off.  You can't always pinpoint what it is, but it's definitely there.

You say this as if it is guaranteed that we will improve under a new manager. We might, but we might not.

If he goes, he goes, but a new manager is no cure all, as we know all too well.

It's a very simplistic viewpoint to my mind.


Youve chosen to cherry pick a line to make your point I'm afraid.
There's nothing simplistic in what I'm saying, mt statement is this, there's an honourable way to sack a manager, Hurst at least deserves that.

"You say this as if it is guaranteed that we will improve under a new manager. We might, but we might not" is more simplistic than my own view point!!
You don't move forward standing still pal, abd right now, under Hurst, we are bloody reverse down a 1 in 4!!..

I see a lot about Hurst having earnt the right to turn things around as he has before, which would be fine had that been in the EFL.

The reality is, the good will towards Hurst was earnt based on his Non League performance. If you took away one decent season with Shrewsbury, his record at this level is poor at best and one that shows very little evidence that he can turn it around at this level.

It would be interesting to know how many of those supporting Hurst and promoting the idea that he should be given x amount of games to prove himself are attending the games week in, week out? I'm not for one minute insinuating that doesn't give someone a valid opinion (Less or no games attended). As an occasional attender, or armchair supporter, performances and entertainment value have little meaning and are thus discounted when discussing issues around the team and management.  But I cannot believe for one minute that anyone can attend recent games and not come out thinking there is something fundamentally amiss with the team (including manager and coaching). I cannot believe you don't come out after 90 + minutes feeling dejected, feeling Hurst and entertainment  don't exist in the same universe.

Regardless of promotions, results, points, cup runs etc his style of play in the league is soul destroying, to the degree we saw the mass exodus on Saturday, coupled with an unrivalled sense of negativity ever since. I would even argue that much of this has been steadily building since last season despite the cup run and final league placement.

To those who are anxious regarding the search for a replacement to Paul, often citing the managers we had in after his last exit, I would argue that having Stockwood and Pettit instead of Fenty in charge of recruitment will result in us recruiting better standard of manager. I'm sure we can all agree on that.

I'm loathe to defend Fenty but I keep seeing the same comments about his crap choice of Manager. I never heard too many complaints about Newell,Holloway, Jolley or Bignot when appointed and upon Buckley 3rd spell I was straight in the ticket office buying a season ticket. The 3 I recall him getting grief for was Slade 2,Woods and Rodger the latter 2 classed as cheap option.

Would Stockwood and Pettit have a football person to advise on this? Its new territory for them after 2 years of solid progress?

There is a bloke called Buckley that lives local no reason he couldn't sit as an advisor on football matters.

Don’t they have a guy who’s had a long history with FIFA sitting on the board as a volunteer advisor ?
