Quoted from 1mickylyons


Why is our start hardest of the 24 teams based on what?
Before the season starred I expected a play off place or a good crack at it and I wasn't alone in that thinking. My logic had Town somewhere between 4th and 10th best .We're currently 20th and dropping like a stone. You are pleading patience some have agreed with you .I expect a Town win Tuesday but please don't come on here and say told you so because sure as night follows day we will lose more games we should win in next fes fixtures. Its poor its not good enough and 5 5k Season ticket holders deserve much better.Hurst Out


Excellent post which I totally agree with. I too, probably as always, was thinking about a promotion run not a relegation battle. A Gold Star man today.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

Just received a weather warning for tomorrow - heavy rain from the early hours to 4pm.

Possibility the game could be called off and a bit of a reprieve for hursty?

Also be interesting to see how well the new drainage system under the pitch copes?


Oh dear, we have "come far" when the drainage is more interesting than the match, and kicking the PH can up the road.

The usually pretty accurate Windy has approx 36-40mm to fall in the 12hrs before kick off. We had roughly 55mm on Friday.

Quite right, its not the Premier league where the Top Six dominate and only positions 1,2,3,4 might vary.
WE are in a league where anything can happen. The players and management names are affixed by Velcrow, and a modicum of support can yield good results.  So I am flummoxed by a team with stable overall management/CEO , a good home support, a good away support, a coach who has been around the block, and yet we smell the whiff of bottom two finish.

I said on another thread yesterday that I am puzzled by this statement about how strong L2 is this year. Other than Mansfield, who we drew with, have any of the sides that have visited BP been that impressive? Well not in my view they haven’t and of our away games, I’ve only attended one, from what I’ve read we have not beer overrun by a quality team as of yet with a poor tactical decision probably the reason we were never in the game at Wrexham.

All leagues are competitive, as they should be, but to keep peddling this crap that L2 is full of quality teams is way off the mark.
