Even given his desire to save games by big defences, the attacking side, along with strange formations, and numerous long term injuries, and a desire not to put on fresh legs when needed, have all combined to be Hurst's downfall.

So, who can now motivate the existing players back into winning mode prior to the January transfer window when new blood is definitely needed !!

Why have so many players suddenly lost form, or become players who play like strangers who have never met or trained together ???

Why is it so hard to be a good passer and trapper of the ball?

There's an inevitability in football management that eventually your time runs out. 95% of managers will get the sack at some point, and I'm afraid it was Paul Hurst's time. It just stopped happening for him and he couldn't get out of it.
Thanks Paul and Chris, you can leave with your heads held high, especially last seasons cup run
Now looking for a new management team to take us forward, interesting times ahead.

Shout out Cartwright, looked assured on his league debut, kicking was a massive improvement and stayed in touch. Wasn’t too far away from the penalty, claimed his crosses.

Yep, gotta say this after thinking he was dreadful, Cartwright is an upgrade on Eastwood, absolutely outstanding save halfway through the second half and his kicking was pretty good all game tbh.
I'm still convinced we have a squad that can play better, just think Hurst knew the song, but had the notes in the wrong order.
It'll be interesting to see how a new manager assesses this squad, how he sets up with who and where...and how long before we are huffing n puffing and calling him a clown🤣

Quoted from louth_in_the_south
Can’t wait to see Bears defence of hurst tonight. And Knuts . Nothing funny about the situation we’re in .


Interesting to see you think my 'backing' of PH is defending him.  If Holohan had scored and not conceded a penalty, we would have won, and no one can deny we were the better side on the day.  Small swings like that decide games, and in PHs case, him his job.

I am a GTFC supporter and have supported them for 72 years, so I will now thank Paul for his time at the club, and some fantastic memories that I will never forget and move my allegiance to our next manager and back him to the hilt.  That's what fans do.
