It’s a good job that Hurst is no longer here, otherwise they’d be no one else to blame!
The reality is that we are heading back to non league unless we get behind DA, and get this thing started.
I’m struggling to understand how getting behind DA or any other manager gets things started? It’s down to them how the team works?

He's right about the first half at Mansfield. We hit the bar, post and forced their keeper into three very good saves on top. They had a load of possession but *in the first half specifically* Cartwright didn't have a massive load of stuff to do and individual mistakes from Town players (and a good finish for their second) were to blame for both goals. He's said the second half was unacceptable but there's a bunch of clowns just cherry picking parts of interviews and using them out of context to moan.
There's a load of utter drivel being written about Artell on here lately, absolutely ridiculous to be questioning him when he's inherited a squad full of shite and has in some of the few games he's been in charge for has managed to get a performance out of them (MK & Salford away, Crewe at home, and tbqh we were decent against Oxford too even if we did lose).
We had a couple of good spells in that first half, but at best it was evenly matched against a really good side. Before they scored and just after they scored they were all over us and Cartwright did make some good saves. He's been unlucky in that Wilson and Pyke haven't been available. It proper limits how we play, but he doesn't seem to have recognised that.

Time will tell. Today was terrible but as long as it’s a one off it has happened to much better teams than us.
Let’s not forget that he’s been in charge of the best performances of the season against Crewe and Salford either.

I think he knows what he’s got. The issue seems to be more attitude than anything else, some players seem to think they can get away with turning in a performance once in a blue moon.

I hope Artell does well, but he is a little eccentric. For example during the match he was having banter with Walsall’s right back Knowles on the touch line and at one point he jokingly grabbed his shirt when Knowles was getting ready to take the throw in. Also during the game he went over to a ball boy put his arm around him and told him where the ball needed to go on the side of the pitch. He also regularly turns his back on the game to speak with the subs and back room staff on the bench, this can last for quite a few seconds. He was also picking up juice bottles from around the dugout!! You need to concentrate on the game more, Dave!

We were comfortably the better team in the first 30 minutes, and had we have got the second I’m confident the game would have played out differently.
However, a sloppy first goal to concede (not just Waterfall’s fault, as where was the cover), and then a second not long after completely killed us. This squad has a soft underbelly, and rather than fight back, I feared we would roll over.
I’m not convinced by any of the players in our defence, and it shows just how big a loss Smith has been when we concede multiple goals game after game.
I’m comfortable that we’ll be safe this season by virtue of poorer teams below us, and it’s going to need some time and surgery to turn this team into something.

That’s a really poor original post.
The guys been here for 5 minutes, hasn’t even recruited a single player yet, and has so far worked with a coaching team that he’s never worked with before.
Judge him after next summer I say

Exactly he’s inherited basically a mid table non league side ,If we can finish third from bottom or slightly better this season next season will be much better

The caretaker team had the right idea. Take what we had, and make a few small adjustments they had probably been wanting to do for ages. Instead we have appointed someone who literally wants to tear up the plan and start again with a new plan that is borderline insane. Managers never last long who do that.
Exactly this , they took 5 points from possible 9, he's taken 8 from a possible 21 .
