It’s all too early to judge. We’ve got to see what happens in January. Sometimes you’ve got to have these calamities to reap the benefits.

I see some of the regulars will be enjoying trolling on their alt accounts after that thumping.

I would probably agree that it’s maybe a bit too much too soon to get technically below average and mentally weak players to be playing out from the back.

But a serious question for anyone to answer; what are our strengths?

We’re not technically very good, with a lot of players not being comfortable on the ball under pressure. We’ve got precious few players who can take a man on. We have no pace at all throughout the team. We are generally outmuscled and out-fought. We have no height and nobody able to run on to longer balls. We can’t defend, I wouldn’t be unhappy to see the back of any of our defenders. And we are totally spineless. Other than Danny Rose I wouldn’t want any of this lot to be alongside me in the trenches.

The money needs to be found from somewhere for two centre backs as a minimum. I’d also be looking to see if we can get someone going forward who’s got some sort of pace even if it’s just to open up the possibility of a plausible plan B.

Time for a reality check?

We are no better off today than under JF and Runaway.

But hopefully the new regime will allow DA to get in his squad together and stabilise the club.

Rose is good
Elisa is ok
Couldn’t care if the rest went.

DA is paid 150k a year to sort out our squad so crack on.

You play to your teams strength.

Quoted from LH
No - Hurst’s wasted a fortune on a squad made of good lads with no fight once they go behind.


That's just balderdash, there's no way a Hurst side are losing 6-1 at home, regardless of the players.

It's too early to tell on Artell but it's not Hurst's fault we were beaten 6-1 today
