Hurst left us in a bad state. All we can do is steady the ship and get off the rocks.

Quoted from golfer


I wouldn't say the board have fcked up ---but giving him a 48 year contract FFS


I think that we are more likely to progress under Artell than most of the others, definitely Hurst.
Clearly we are terrible with some massive issues but I think we will get away with it this year and so we should give him a chance to try and mould a team. Until the other day most of the January recruitment were getting praise.
We are where we are and where we have been for ages, I'm probably in the minority but I think we may do well in the next few years, also think some of the dogs aimed at Stockwood are not fair at all.
Anyway hopefully we will turn up tomorrow and win.

Wasn't he injured before he became ill?

Considering the tosh and drivel that he inherited when he joined us, i personally think he has done ok. His January signings have definitely been an improvement on what we had, even though we suffered some of our highest defeats in our history, and he has made big strides in loaning out plenty of players who are clearly not needed or wanted here next season.
Fingers crossed we stay up, and fingers doubly crossed that Joe Hutchinson works his magic, and DA finds a few names in his little black book during the summer.

I wouldn't go as far as saying Artell has done OK given that he's won exactly the same PPG as Hurst I agree that his signings in January seem to have improved the squad to some degree, but this is countered by the loss of Conteh who was obviously holding it all together much more than we realised. I'd imagine we'd probably have another half a dozen points right now if he had stayed as we've had no effective midfield in way too many games since he left.

He needs to be relieved of his duties. Please don’t allow him a transfer budget at the end of the season, it will take us back years!!!

A Manager is where the important investment needs to be made!!

In that DN35 interview Artell said that 'teams that complete over 600 passes win more games '

I can't be bothered to fact check but I would be interested if that's true - I mean is he talking about through all league's ?

I find it hard to believe many teams in league 2 complete 600 a game .

Wrexham beat Mansfield with half the posession they had - 358 completed passes v 556 .

I have looked through the top 3 out of mild curiousity and they have only gone over 600 completed passes a game in single figures between all of them .

Seems a strange point to raise which seems irrelevant in terms of league 2 .

I imagine that stat is skewed quite considerably by City and to a lesser extent Arsenal. I’m sure making more passes is more likely to result in a win if you’ve got some of the best players in the world and almost unlimited money to spend. But if you’re in L2 and have an average budget, the chances of your players being good enough to make that many passes without a large number of mistakes is probably quite low.
