2 changes.

Pearson in for Toto.
Pittman in for Bogle.

Shaun in for Toto, JP in for Bogle.

Whoever merged this could you not have deleted my thread rather than making me look a right daft twit!  ;D

PH has just made today an even more must win game for himself.

Thirteen goals on the bench. An underwhelming nom scoring loanee up front. Well done Tinkerman Hurst.

Thought he would replace Bogle with Amond today. Interesting forward line.

just shows how bad a manager hurst is

Quoted from denni266

just shows how bad a manager hurst is

or a genius.... :P

Not only that but people haven't mentioned that we kept our first clean sheet of the season on Tuesday and the defence has been changed too.

Definitely need to win now...

I have always supported Hurst but today I wonder at a club ne'er the bottom of the league and two top strikers on the bench that's dam stupid

Quoted from the driver

I have always supported Hurst but today I wonder at a club ne'er the bottom of the league and two top strikers on the bench that's dam stupid

But Bogle has looked like he's needed a rest in the last couple of games.

Let's see how we actually do before giving Hurst pelters shall we?

Not the team I'd have picked but IF we win 3-0 then Hurst will have picked the right team.

Im behind Hurst all the way. But this has left me staggered, i like JPP but to leave top 2 scorers on the bench is a crazy decision. We must win today now

Said Hurst would drop bogle today for disagreeing with being brought off the other day

Told you, he's got small man syndrome

Fair point Tommy but these changes aren't going to win over the doubters.

If Bogle needed a rest 99.99999% of people would say Amond should come in to replace him.

I really hope these changes work today.

Shall we see how we get on before having a meltdown. It's about time we beat them!!! Pitch looks good and no excuses to not perform.

Right top scorers on the bench.

Yep why not , unbefuckingleivable

Am a little stunned! To put it mildly, agree the upfront changes are mad but while I rate Pearson as our best cb we keep a clan sheet and Hurst changes it?!? Only fair to see how it pans out but big gamble!

I wonder if the change in strike force is down to wastefulness.  Lets just hope for 3 pts.

Leave 13 goals on the bench and put 1 goal on the pitch. It's a brave or a daft move. We shall see.

Quoted from Caesar

Am a little stunned! To put it mildly, agree the upfront changes are mad but while I rate Pearson as our best cb we keep a clan sheet and Hurst changes it?!? Only fair to see how it pans out but big gamble!

I still believe Pearson is our best defender so no qualms about him coming in to the side.

The Tranmere game on TV is the only one I've seen and Bogle was very ineffective. Reports suggest it was a similar story at Wrexham so giving him a break doesn't seem too controversial. Leaving Amond out makes little sense to me.  :-/

I hope mr fenty is dropping him off on the way back with his p45

I thought Tondeur mentioned Bogle having some strapping on his leg the other night, not sure. I think Bogle can be too keen and maybe needs to be told to ease up at times, even though he'd insist on playing.

Amond however...clearly not in the LJL favourite mould.

Basically what I'm going to say if we don't win is Hurst is incompetent, useless manager who doesn't have a clue. If we win I'll say he is clearly a tactical genius who we should never ever doubt

Bogle needed taking out the firing line perhaps.

But as previously predicted, Tomlinson has waltzed into the flipping side and taken Amond out the picture. Classic Hurst and always with the same bloody result.

He'll NEVER learn.

FGR 1 down vs Gateshead

Sounds dire already

Rubbish start

what a positive mood you re all in for a change...

First fifteen minutes have been terrible. We're totally on the back foot and our new look strike pairing aren't in the game. Gary Jones bossing our weak midfield.

I take it from the comments that somehow I've skipped a couple of hours and we've lost 4-0?

Quoted from pontoonlew

Can you let me know what the result is going to be because then I can get a sure-fire bet on it  ;)

Goal screamer from Clay

Great goal from Clay, PH is the greatest manager on earth lol

Craig Clay!

1-0 Town

Sort it Hursts  ;)

Come on Town

Tactical genius.

That's just what we need- a goal from midfield and from outside the box too. Something that has been missing.

Cmon town

Win or not. Having 13 goals sat on the bench is still a excrement decision, no doubt about it.

Quoted from forza ivano

I take it from the comments that somehow I've skipped a couple of hours and we've lost 4-0?

Amazing hey! Many regulars had us beated at kick off... idiots...

Who needs strikers?  ;)

listening on mp and the goal came up on sky sports news before we'd even taken the free kick lol
hope that wakes them up although a clean sheet would be good now
utm

Quoted from ginnywings

Yes indeed.
Come on Town.

McKeown earning his wages again with another point blank save - should keep his confidence levels up even if the defence in front of him are still lacking consistency

Quoted from pontoonlew

Win or not. Having 13 goals sat on the bench is still a excrement decision, no doubt about it.

There's been some bloody stupid things posted on this forum, but this one has to be right up there. So if we win 4-0 jpp and Tomlinson each score it's still a Shiite decision?  :-/

FFS, 1-0 up and Lowther sounds as if he is co- commentating at a funeral.

Dizzaaaa!

2-0 Town

so, 2-0. He's a flipping numpty.

'Kin 'Ell. All this talk of strikers..........................

Well done Diz

Tactical genius

Never doubted him.

I see what's happening...put a not very high scoring front two in and make the midfield take the responsibility for goals....Clay and Dizza oblige. It's genius for sure :)

Still a clown

So we play teams off the park and lose or draw. Then we are outclassed at Wrexham but get a point. Now we are outplayed at Southport at the start and lead 2-0.

So the worse we play the better the result.

I don't think I will ever understand football. Quantum Physics seems much easier to comprehend.

I did feel a bit flat when i heard Bogle and Amond on the bench but whoever is selected we have to give them our support.

Hope we now relax and start to play. Nephew at game texed me and said we are not playing that well at the moment.  :-/

Hurst is a 😇

My hands and cheeks hurt because I'm happy clapping so much at the minute. 3-0!!!!

This is more like it.

3!

Quoted from denni266

just shows how bad a manager hurst is

It's really drilling it home now. That decision to put Pittman on in particular..

Hursty Hursty what's the score?

3-0 up in the first half

Clueless??  ;D

Maaaariners!!!! Well done team!!!

Who got the 3rd?

Some team has been due a proper shoe-ing.

I'm struggling to understand whats going on, how are we playing so badly and winning 3-0?!?!?!?!?!?

This is surreal.

just signed in.best thread ever

Quoted from 935

or how little you know about football...

hurst is  clueless. this is just a blip

It's nice to score the first against the run of play and with just about our first attempt. Makes all the difference, as we know when it happens against us.

Eastleigh having the new manager effect.

1 win in 10 at Southport  Ginny....voodoo, jinx its bob tbh.

Its a funny old game.

Whilst I'm very much a "happy clapper" I'm happy to admit that the team selection didn't convince me and that I'm happy to admit that I was wrong to doubt PH.

takes one....

Quoted from denni266

4 wins out of 12. and 3-0 up at half time and hurst is  a god,, get real.  he just gets the odd result to keep his job,, but not in my book  

So... you prefer us to be 3 - 0 down?  Get real, be happy.  Clappy too.

To know one is the other bit you after nick.

Really surprised about Halifax's recent events.  They've not really replaced the players they have lost and now its showing.  

We've bossed enough games and only drew so it doesn't concern me that we've apparently not been playing that we'll.  Will take 3-0 wins however they come (I'm aware it's not over yet but would like to think we won't surrender a 3 goal lead).

Who would have thought Bromley would turn to be top scorers and rise to 4th when we beat them 4-1. Obviously won't last but just goes to show how crap our own results have been.

With the strikers on the bench due to come on second half ( yellow cards ) we could be looking at a score that will breed confidence in the squad.

Just 5read the thread and cannot blieve the negativity of the first 3 pages. Who would be a manager! At the end of play we may well be only 7 points behind the team that had a record breaking start to the season and that is what matters.

Quoted from denni266

Struggling to find a post suggesting ph is a god.worst is a couple saying he's a tactical genius, with tongue very much in cheek. However it is to find a post from some idiot suggesting he should be sacked even before a ball was kicked

Quoted from Meza

1 win in 10 at Southport  Ginny....voodoo, jinx its bob tbh.

We won a few seasons ago when Jedward stewards were having good banter with us supporters

Weathered a bit of a storm to start with, defended really well and scored 3 good goals. Bit meaner up front today but both strikers booked. Wouldn't have changed the defence myself but Shaun has been excellent.

REMOVED

Shame to see SOME still cant give PH or the team some credit

Less of the abusive personal insults please

Just keep a clean sheet now and that will do me.  :)

Oh god its like a paul hurst orgy on here today aint it.

Shame we haven't got one of the young midfielders on the bench would have been ideal situation to give them a run out

Are Town on 21 goals for the fishy pontoon buster

As someone who is far from PH's biggest fan even I am getting tired of the slagging off he gets before, during & after every match.

Results have not been what we want this season but IMO performances at home (games I see), in the majority of games, have been & entertaining to boot (something I have never said during his previous 4 years in charge.

I said a couple of weeks back we normally hit a good run in October & with Forest Green & Gateshead to visit BP in the next few weeks we will soon now how our season is going to go. If at the end of October we are mid table then by all means let it out but does it have to be every bloody minute on here!!

You have to give the manager credit as well as the players selected.  PH has balls big enough to come in a dump truck...but it could have easily have been the opposite.

Well down town keep it up


UTM

Knows nothing, obviously.

If you give Hurst stick i.e. he picks the team, he trains the team, so he is responsible, than you also have to give him credit and i am happy to do so. Been wanting to give Southport a thrashing for 5 years and it looks like we are doing just that.

Quoted from promotion plaice

Are Town on 21 goals for the fishy pontoon buster

Yes, one more goal though and we'll bust.

Quoted from jonnyboy82

Quoted from Les Brechin

Less of the abusive personal insults please

Bizarre of how someone who claims to be a supporter is so upset about his team winning 4-0 away at one of our bogey teams.

Makes a big difference when you actually take your chances, doesn't it?

Hopefully, we'll keep a clean sheet today as well.

A goal or two off the bench would be nice also!

Not upset in the slightest infact rather the opposite im very happy.. ;D ;D ;D :) :) :)

Can't complain about the score at all.

The decision to drop our two top scorers is still concerning regardless of how you look at it. I don't think it's particularly healthy in terms of a full season to drop in form players. It's a great result today though.

JP off and Omar on

Go on lad....fill your boots!  :)

Yet when we lose you generally blame Hurst and not the players Jonny.

I get that you seem to have a real dislike for Hurst but try not to make it personal against him. He's doing his best and doing what he thinks is best (even if some of us disagree).

And thinking Hurst should be sacked doesn't mean you can't give credit when it's due. If Hurst doesn't get any credit when we win then it'd suggest you think he's not responsible for team performances, so how can you blame him for bad results/poor performances?

We sound like we are well in control of this game, really glad we have got our scoring boots on again ready for the Gateshead and FGR games, This will hopefully give us a massive confidence boost, C,Mon Town we can do this. :)

Another clean sheet would just put the icing on the cake for me.

Bring Amond on as well Hursty and you will be rewarded with more goals,

Podge and Omar to score to make it 6-0,

Then everybody will be happy,

Well maybe not everybody. ;D

Brave decision by Hurst to drop Bogle, maybe he is being very clever by giving Bogle a rest with one eye on Forest Green and Gateshead

Quoted from jonnyboy82

I think you should take some advice from your avatar !!!

Quoted from Squinter

I doubt there'd be many on here who would grant Hurst the tactical and managerial nous to do that....but who knows.

Maybe he just does have some aptitude for management after all  ;)

Marshall on for Monkhouse

Hope he has the same impact this afternoon as he did the other evening  :)

Jlaa scores for shrewsbury

Bogle's form had dropped in the last 3 games, he also had a little tantrum when he got dragged off the other night, i dont disagree with that choice from Hurst at all.. but we have looked quieter up front since Amond fell out the side so very suprised about leaving him out today.

Quoted from jonnyboy82

Oh god its like a paul hurst orgy on here today aint it.

Still attention seeking I see!

You'll have nothing to do tonight now you can't moan like fck!

Teesknees yes i do its called a woman you should try it ,  but the difference is i will let her do her usual moan like fck.

The Bogle sub makes sense, nice for him to come on when we're comfortable for once. Little worried about Amond though, seems to be sliding down the pecking order.

I am not sure the qoute " dropping in form players" is accurate. They may be playing ok but as a striker if you are not scoring enough goals to beat the number we concede then I dont think they are doing a good enough job unless of course the defence are shipping loads which we are not!

You have to respect Jonnyboys opinions just like everyone else's opinions but you have to say well done town for today so glad for them.

No rancido its about his inability to ever get us promoted and his inability as a manager and a win at southport wont change my mind.

Quoted from jonnyboy82

Anyway.....we are town we are town we are town.......we are town we are town we are town.......we are towwwwnnnn

Well, it's like the statement about what would happen if LJL scored 20 goals. Went from something that he'd do to a joke. Constantly shifting and amending perceptions of what was said to suit.

Up to 6th place, if results stay the same...

4.0 Town - Clean sheet - 3 points - bring on FGR!  :)

Well done town, good result ⚽🍺👏

A pity one of the subs didn't get a goal, but you can understand the team taking it easy when so far in front.

Two points behind 4th place so it's good that we're heading back up towards where we ought to be.

The wheels seem to have completely fallen off at FGR which is incredible when you consider the start to the season which they had. Would be a very good game for us to win next week!

Quoted from forza ivano

Well done town, now lets kick on from here,

Big two home games coming up.

Whate are they singing? Hurst out? ;D

Never, they are true Town supporters. ;)

That's a good standard to set ourselves from now on. Those of us who have attended games this season will tell you we've looked like hammering someone for weeks and just not converted.


I don't see 4-0 as a hammering so I guess we'll have to wait until next week and hammer FGR.   ;)

Quoted from ginnywings

You'd be hard pushed to find someone who agreed entirely with Hurst's team selection today. Can we stop the point scoring and all just agree that he got it right today? We all want the same thing at the end of the day.

Quoted from LH

Yet some seem to want him to fail so that they can see they were right. Saying how bad a manager he is because of changes he's made before a ball is kicked is just ridiculous. Yes there were few who agreed with all the changes today but there's a reason he's a football manager and none of us are!

Don't get me wrong certain posters do deserve a bit (a lot) of stick for what they've said today. Going back to before kick off and pulling people up on things they've commented on is a bit childish though! A lot of what was said was pretty valid from both sides of the happy clapper/negative twit fence.

Don't get me wrong certain posters do deserve a bit (a lot) of stick for what they've said today. Going back to before kick off and pulling people up on things they've commented on is a bit childish though! A lot of what was said was pretty valid from both sides of the happy clapper/negative twit fence.

True, it is childish and I'm guilty of it. Couldn't resist though given the level of abuse he was getting before kick off. Sometimes I do wonder if some people actually want us to win.

I'm not going to get into the Hurst debate all I will say is this team is strong and resilient and played superb today. Now WE all owe it to  them to pack Blundell Park to the rafters give the lads and the manager one hell of a reception. Lets give Forest Green a battering on and off the field they will never forget.

Come on we are all one.    FOR TOWN,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, FOR HURST.............THIS TOWN KNOWS.......BELIEVE IT.

I suppose there are exceptions to the "we all want the same thing" rule.

I apolgise for any offence caused.

I am big enough to say that and well done town.

As for paul being the right man well lets agree to disagree on that but for anyone suggesting i want town to lose well i didnt donate my hard earned money to the club for that reason.

Great result today.

Good post Jonny.

Yes good win today. but i think it was more of  about taking the chances that fall to you., i still think there is something wrong down at the park tho, and one win wont change my mind about hurst,, But i wont fall into the trap of calling people names for having a different view than me like some do.  i love my football and my club and make no excuse for wanting better  

Whichever way we look at it we have now put together a 6 match unbeaten run and have kept two clean sheets on the bounce.

Last season we had a masterful defence but folk were always saying think what we could do with genuine goalscorers. Maybe PH has got it exactly right now - going and playing to the strengths we know we have. Two players with 13 goals on the bench will hopefully be busting a gut to get a start next week. Players do have to earn their place and nobody should be immune from being either dropped or rested if the situation demands it. Beat FGR next week and the drums will be banging bg time, I'm sure?

I will hold my hands up I honestly thought it was a wrong move to leave out the two top scorers if fact I said stupid at the time yep wrong again in my defence it was my first criticism of him

Just shows what a strange game this is. While FGR were winning those early games we were missing umpteen chances and conceding from the odd attacks on our goal.

Todays stats for FGR vs Gateshead read..
Corners: FGR 6 Gateshead 1
Shots on target FGR 14  Gateshead 2

Sounds familiar.
A complete reversal in fortunes for FGR and ourselves, and evidence that anything can happen this season.

Said earlier in the thread somewhere that everyone if honest, would've had grumblings about the forward line today.
I know I did.. :)

Although I think Bogle is a player in the making, he didn't show anything more than JPP or Timlinson when he came on today (I know he didn't have long, but he still made wrong decisions)...think the decision to leave him out will give him something more to think about, he isn't now first choice no matter what (a la Shop), will bow down to PH wisdom today!
