Quoted from male private Nale


I will tell you exactly what he signed for , 2k a week for 2 years and a move back home in his own bed every night. He knew exactly what he was walking into when he signed. Do not believe he had ideas of a promotion run unlike half you lot.


Proof please!

Quoted from GrimRob


They scored 6 goals from 18 shots. Mansfield had 39 shots, we could easily have lost 10-0 there, when you give sides as many chances as we do. In Paul Hurst's last game by the way the opposition only had 9 shots on goal.


Mansfield are arguably the best side in this division.  Best side I can remember seeing at this level for many a year.

Walsall are the form team in this division at the minute.  

Doncaster (Hurst's last opponents) had just taken a 3-0 pasting at home to Salford when we rocked up there.

The weakness of our spine, which needs addressing and I'm certain Artell will be doing so as we speak, is a concern.  But comparing those two games against Doncaster isn't really like for like.

You need to do better research.  The board actually said they wanted to see this style of play, that's another reason why DA was their first choice.  Look it up!



Yes I am aware of that.
But not at any cost

Yes, and rightly so, all the goals were the result of individual errors, and the players gave up once we went behind.  And where did he say he was a genius?



No they weren't. They were a catalogue of errors. Much of it was the way Walsall began to press us.
When things go bad, you find out about managers, pointing fingers at the people you manage is not the way to go.

He did nothing to change what was going on. In all his games in charge I don't think we've changed shape once.
Walsall pressed us in and our back 4 had nowhere to go with the ball, we kept turning it over, they kept punishing us. We carried on doing the same thing.

Still in shock as to what I witnessed yesterday. Under normal circumstances that would have usually resulted in the sacking of a manager. I see it's just over a month since he joined.

Also, I thought someone said he was supposed to be animated?

Worrying is understating it. The Notts County game is likely to resemble a live autopsy with no anaesthetic.

The Notts County prediction thread will be interesting reading.For what it's worth I think Town will come out swinging because Notts can't defend either and I forsee a high scoring game.

It's the same for a manager though isn't it? You have to be able to plan and adapt to changes in the game.

Walsall changed and we didn't. Even when the goals were flying in.
