Hurst in or out?

Quoted from Chrisblor

Last night I wanted him sacked at half-time but now mainly in response to the volume of unnecessarily opprobrious tweets and comments from the mouth breathing section of our fanbase i'm learning towards giving him a bit longer to turn it around. I just don't understand why so many of them feel the need to be so rude and classless about Hurst when he has (in the past, not now) achieved more success than any manager not named Alan Buckley at this club in the last 40 years. Yes you can want a change of manager (and i'm about 90% of the way to feeling the same myself), but is there really any need to be a vile sharp object about it?

I was up for bannering the flyover this morning, but turned into Hursts’s no.1 fan when I started listening to that American fella on the DN35 podcast today. Everyone’s entitled to an opinion, but that guy’s a real jerk-off!

Yeah I dont disagree with that. But take last night. If Andrews hadnt fannied around getting robbed and Amos had passed to anyone of the six Town players queueing up in the box to score instead of lamping into the pontoon we would have been justifiably in front whilst playing how I think we can. Whilst I know he picks the team I cant help feel a tad sorry for him whilst we have decision making like those.

Amos contract expired last year, Hurst either cocked up and forgot/didn't realise he would get an extension if he kept playing him in so many games or he did know and actively played him and triggered it.

I really like Amos as a character, I just don't believe he's good enough to play regularly and be in a top half league 2 side. Hurst had an entire flipping season to decide on getting someone better and didn't. He has to carry a very considerable level of responsibility if Amos performances (along with loads of others obviously!) are contributing to him being in line for the chop.

Quoted from DB

The problem is that it's not so much the results but the pathetic quality of football as well.

Pretty much a given in League 2. The only 2 sides that made us look mugs were Barrow for 45 mins and Mansfield for most of the game, and yet we took 4 points from those two.

The "quality" wouldn't be so much of an issue if we were winning games by the odd goal instead of losing them.

We weren't great last night, but all the game stats were comfortably in our favour, apart from the important ones of goals scored and goals conceded. We've done the same in many games, and yet keep coming out with nothing.

I see a team that is severely lacking in confidence because we somehow keep losing games we shouldn't be. Everything is being overthought and not coming naturally at the moment, because of it.

Yeah, I know, I'm flogging a dead horse because Hurst signed them and trains them, so something something new manager something.

Quoted from Lincoln Mariner 56

I’m pretty sure the Board read this as it’s the easiest and quickest way to get feedback from their “customers” and I would suggest that the Fishy contributors are a pretty reflective sample of our fan base.

As for the dogs abuse I think there is definitely one whose contribution is unacceptable but the other contributors have all supported their particular leanings with reasons why they are supporting a change in Manager so that’s not likely to upset a butcher’s son and a guy who grew up on the Nunny!!

What, all 2-300 that post here on match days?    Hardly a 'reflective sample' of the thousands of GTFC supporters.

League 2 is junk isn't it - Mansfield ,Barrow and Notts looked quite good the rest have looked no better ,some even worse than us ; which makes our current situation even more frustrating.

It's a dire brand of football in the main really alright there are a few better footballing teams but when you get the likes of Wrexham & Stockport splashing millions to effectively play clogger % football it makes you wonder.

And if I had just 3 more numbers on my Lotto ticket I would now be several millions pounds richer rather than just 30.00

After last night’s performance I was in the Hurst out camp and really annoyed and frustrated at what was happening, I woke up this morning with a different attitude after listening to Hurst’s interview on RH and feel that he is a genuine guy who does care about our club but everything is going against him at the moment. I do believe he should be given more time but have serious doubts about Eastwood who I believe does not inspire his teammates with a lot of confidence, I saw the facial reactions of some of the players last night after conceding the  goals and I believe as long as Eastwood is in goal we will struggle.UTM

So you feel sorry for Hurst because the goalie he wanted is excrement?

Has he copulated off yet?

Eastwood isn't the number 1. Cartwright is. I think it's probably clear that our first choice didn't work out as we would have liked, and we're sticking with the backup for now. We probably cannot deal with the situation until January.

No football manager gets every decision right. We shouldn't expect them to. We just need to see that at the first opportunity, they look to resolve it.
