If you lose 7 out of 9 in a row and spend most of your interviews in the back half of that winless run sounding like you haven't got a flipping clue how to turn it round beyond baselessly speculating that results will turn around at some point you simply cannot complain about being sacked. Now, none of that absolves Artell for presiding over what looks to be an underwhelming January transfer window and transforming our defence into one of historically inept proportions, or the board for appointing him in the first place, but Hurst can have zero complaints about getting his P45.
And I said I didn’t disagree with it, but that was because I thought PH wouldn’t take any further and we would be perennial bottom half. But I also don’t think he would have taken us down.

Wrexham really don’t look like a team with presumably the fattest wage bill in the division. Pound-for-pound their away form is as bad as our home form.

I’m not optimistic about our future but many tonight are treating tonight’s results like there is only 3 games to go this season. I recall the period under Jolley when we hadn’t won for ages and Burnsy giving up a rough time on how would we stay up but Jolley was adamant we would, that things would change and they did.
I am sure there will be twists and turns every time fixtures involving the bottom four are involved so no point get in a frenzy just yet. Hopefully Wrexham will do their late goals trick and take something from the game. Both them and County are clearly domitheir respective matches so hopefully they will pull through and win.
Here’s hoping

It’s hard to ignore the fact that Hurst fked up the summer window. Also that Shrewsbury had tried to get him back. I’m no fan of Artell but this squad is not an improvement on last season or the season before.
If Hurst hadn’t been so stubborn Ryan Bennett would have signed. He wanted to but Hurst fell out with him so I’m told. He would have been so much better than what we have.

I’m not screaming. I’m calmly saying that you make me laugh with your ‘logic’.
What would you say isn’t logical about saying that if we beat all 3 of the teams around us in the next few weeks we’ll likely stay up?

I think the understandable worry is that if results stay the same tonight, Forest Green have the ability to send us 2 points adrift of safety on Saturday, and given our home form, there’s some justifiable anxiety. Given what we’ve seen of our squad this season, I don’t think we’d have the resilience to cope with and recover from the psychological shock of that. We are just under three halves away from a potentially very bleak situation.

Wrexham notching a few corners but failing to do anything of note with them.

Well, because we have 10 more games after that. The bigger point is - you were of the vehement opinion that Hurst should go - not necessarily in disagreement with you there, but we bring in a manager who’s record since being appointed is worse and who talks far less sense, and you’re pro him.
