Team news: Four changes for Town
Four changes again for the Mariners this evening, with Joe Bunney, Danny Rose, Filipe Morais and Joe Adams returning to the line-up, with Mattie Pollock, Luke Hendrie, Giles Coke and James Hanson making way.

TOWN: Eastwood, Hewitt, Waterfall, Menayese, Bunney, Rose, Morais, Matete, El Mizouni, Adams, Payne.

Subs: McKeown, Habergham, Hendrie, Lamy, Coke, John-Lewis, Hanson.

Same team as Crawley I think isn't it?

Bud, you could change your thread to "Match Thread" otherwise someone will start another and admin will have to merge.

Sorry and thank you. Duly amended

I hope Payne remembered to bring his boots back from Harrogate.

Come on Town!!

Bunny was woeful against Crawley, his passing was shocking, let’s hope he got a good nights sleep and puts in a decent performance tonight, I’m sure he’s a lot better player than the one we’ve seen so far

Please win. UTM!

Really hope that's more of a 4231 than a defensive 451

Ive paid way too much this season for I follow 😂 but I genuinely believe we do have some good players in this side who, given the ball, can make something happen. Get it down and play football.

Looks like a 4-3-3 to me. Matete and El Mizouni driving forward from midfield, with Rose sitting; Adams running at the opposition full-back and Morais swinging in beauties for Payne. Hopefully.

Could be   4-1-4-1 mate

I think after the last few matches, and Hursts insistence on seeing what the other team are doing rather than concentrating on doing our own thing, it could well be a thinly disguised 9-0-1

Come on Harrogate & Cheltenham tonight..

Desperate for a win

Key is to not leave Payne Isolated. Would like to see El Mizouni closer to the striker with a better delivery from the wingers

Feel for the ones that have been left out especially Ira Jackson Jr. Had high hopes for him when he signed for Grimsby.

Couple of ex mariners in the Orient team. What’s the chances of one of them scoring.......

Quoted from promotion plaice

Come on Harrogate & Cheltenham tonight..

And Carlisle too!

Also is about time FGR lived up to their lofty position, we could do with them beating Stevenage.

Of course it all matter not a jot if we don't win.

Tonight's the night boys.

$hit or bust.

If we lose this one I think we are doomed, doomed   :o

Why not 442 ffs (wallbash)(wallbash)(wallbash)

4-5-1 with advanced wide men. For me, it's the way to go as it gives us width but also the solidity in the middle with the 3 in central midfield. Can work well when the wide man drags his full back inside, bringing the overlapping full back in to play. Important for two of those centre mids to look to get into the box as often as possible to support the lone striker.so energy from the young lads Matete and Mizouni will be key, with Rose being the one to look to sit.

Come on Town!

The only time we have ever looked remotely like a team is when we have been 442
Saturday was a good example

Nice to hear Tondeur again, UTM.

"For my friends on The Fishy" says JT after 1 minute.

Nice little dig from JT to Boris/Bruce/Bob/Andrew  ;D

JT digging at The Fishy 😂

Replayed that collision a few times and can't work out what's happened there! Has he bust his head open AND injured his leg in the same challenge?

This looks like a serious injury to their centre half no.29dave more assisting and the stretcher is out.

Gibson starting for Altrincham tonight

Compared to some of the poor surfaces we’ve played on recently BP looks almost playable.

Bunney plays decent ball shock! Morais has our first shot. A 30 yard back pass!

Why is Bunny playing , absolute rubbish

Very sloppy in possession. Morais not started well and keeps losing the ball. Payne needs to get onside and stop trotting around.

Hate these abject girl privates, just intercourse the season off now, we're not staying up with these clowns playing for us

Far to easy.

Not looking good

We really are shite, the table doesn't lie.

0-1

What a load of absolute shite

Wtf is that defending for girl private sake

10 man defence and can't stop a goal. absolute rubbish. Started 2 mins earlier with Bunny then no clearance

Different game same sh1t cnuts

This bunch are a disgrace to the badge!! embarrassing how bad they are!

Offside from our free kick. flipping pathetic.

Wow we must have spent ages on the training ground working on that set piece routine, great work lads

No attackers again no body to clear to in there half

Hurst stop playing the 1 not mobile big lump upfront on his own!! What you playing at Hurst

all 10 back and they still can't pick spare men up. it's corner after corner, match after match , nothing ever changes

Quoted from Chrisblor

Hate these abject girl privates, just intercourse the season off now, we're not staying up with these clowns playing for us

Sadly, I have been saying this for some time yet some on here seem to think we are going to change into a team that will suddenly produce promotion winning form.

Waterfall is absolutely w@nk and costs us goals every week

Need to bring another forward on right now.

This is a season deciding game in my view.

Quoted from Wrights35

Hurst stop playing the 1 not mobile big lump upfront on his own!! What you playing at Hurst

Agent Hurst

Can’t watch it. Can’t believe how poor we are.

We scored twice in the last home game, so we can do it again.

Payne is the typical lazy journeyman. Doesn't have the desire or effort to make runs or get into space to support teammates when they have the ball. Don't understand at all what Hurst sees in him. Would much rather see John Lewis on who is a much more energetic target man and is actually capable of bringing others into play (even if he does require five chances to score one!)

Well we got rid of crap and got more crap in .. Its looking like the plan is to get sent down , pathetic from top to bottom . Would not suprise me if the 3 amigo`s walked like hollowhead did and who could blame then

Can't get on iFollow - paid my tenner but no video and no audio either

So I've missed the goal - what was it like?

A brilliant bit of skill from their player(s) or us messing things up as usual.....

it's so tough listening to my team going down with a whimper. How has it been allowed to get this bad?

Every single player bar Rose looks totally incapable of playing 2 successful passes.

It’s flipping clueless, amateur, shite.

What a rag tag Bob outfit we are and hurst still playing one up top. That Matete shot sums it up
Get a new manager in early doors end of season with a new squad and build again from NL because it is inevitable

Ring them and claim your tenner back.

Another brilliant training ground routine there. Clever one two from the corner allowing us to pass the ball into their keeper's chest under absolutely no pressure with no attackers anywhere near him. Really classy stuff.

No one in the 6 yard box on that short corner as the 2nd ball was wiped in, whats the point!

Hurst is really going for this in this relegation battle.. none stop attack with loads upfront go Hurst!!! Yawnnnnn always playing for the 1-0

you have to admit town are good at clearing the ball straight to there players every time from defence

Quoted from MuddyWaters

Can’t watch it. Can’t believe how poor we are.

Genuine question.
What have you been watching lately??

Really disappointed in Hurst since he came back.

5 of our team ball watching while their guy was unmarked for a tap in inside the 6 yard box.  Criminal.

Hurst makes Holloway look like Pep Guardiola

Quoted from Humbercod

Hurst makes Holloway look like Pep Guardiola

At the moment he's making everyone look like Pep Guardiola....

Not that it will matter but Colchester losing again.

This bunch and Hurst are so lucky town fans are not allowed to the games they wouldn't put up with this!!

Quoted from promotion plaice

Not that it will matter but Colchester losing again.

That will be good news for Barrow and Southend then.

I've just remembered why I didn't like Hurst first time around . Negative negative negative ... His time is gone now .

Quoted from Stadium

Genuine question.
What have you been watching lately??

Paint drying.

Have we had a shot on target ?

This is poor despite having what 30+ players we still have no midfield.

Getting my pitch fork out the shed so I can go down at full time.

Both our centre backs showing their arses yet again there

Gary Croft seems to know a lot more than Hurst.

They should of scored a 2nd goal they have gpt in with brophy everytime Hewitt leaving us exposed. Very poor half that was big second half needed.

Absolute sitter missed there

45 minutes to save the season.

It really is over if we lose tonight.

No improvement

JT and Crofty said it there... we've got some decent individuals but we're just not a team atm.

The fact Bunney gets on the pitch says more about Hurst than it does poor Bunney, not his fault.

The same old strange tactics and selections we became used to under Hurst and conveniently forgot about when he was hired.

flipping hopeless

Each week i feel it cant get worse

What the utter fuk is this

You look at them and some have dropped there heads already, a bunch of amateurs could do better than this lot

Damn awful.

Zero creativity, Payne is lost with no one feeding him xesperately trying to close down CBs on his own.

We're 1-0 down and our midfield still isn't pushing up to support, just passing it sideways and backwards.

Defence is lost and clueless as always.

I am really really really struggling to find a positive about that half that isn't the refs not half bad for a change

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Every time we clear the ball it goes straight to  there players. Town can't pass

Stevenage are 2 up at fgr aswell

How that bloke hit the bar with that chance I will never know

Absolutely awful, awful, awful!...I really hoped Hurst would improve us defensively at least but we are worse than ever, sorry to say but we are down.
Out attacks are less potent than a punctured whoopy cushion!..

We are fcking down, 100%. Absolute junk.

Got to feel the next 45 mins are season-defining. Nothing at Harrogate, followed by nothing tonight would be a major blow to the team's confidence. Needs bold changes now, not after 70 mins. As Crofty said, "this isn't working".  

No midfield again, nobody to pass to upfront with a 10 man defence

A defence that cant defend
An invisible midfield.
Our best players a 35 midfielder signed in december

PH im very disaapointed in you.

We’re absolutely copulated

With no crowd it’s easy for them to have to no responsibility . Says everything about their professional pride as sportsmen .

we need to be aggresive, not sat trying to be equal with the opposition. shocking

It was scary how easily Brophy dribbled through our defence - he must have done it 3 or 4 times.

Quoted from promotion plaice

Ring them and claim your tenner back.

I've sent an email

The web chat person I was speaking to said that I only had my usual iFollow account so that's why no video feed

I sent him a link of the email confirmation and he just said, send an email in to the EFL address and closed the chat window!

Brilliant customer service that eh?

Can’t believe I’m watching a Town team. This is as bad if not worse than Holloway’s lot. I’m normally optimistic about survival chances but not anymore. Last post as it is too depressing. Better 2nd half?(irony)

Get Bunny off Henry on

Payne off Hanson on, put Adams up top with him
Go 442

surely he has to give the old shrewsbury pairing of shop and payne 45 minutes doesn't he?
any idea where our left back was for that sitter they missed?

its just ground hog day - no creativity, no chances and the ability to concede a goal at the drop of a hat

Well.......quite clearly the players dont have a clue what they are doing shape or organisational wise.
No cohesion, very little confidence.
El Miz & Adam's may as well not be playing, absolutely zero on our left side yet again, Payne and Morais so wasteful with the ball and we look so flat footed in every area.
Shite defending yet again for the goal, not just in itself but in several bits of play before it.
Orient look well capable of scoring a couple more....we hardly look capable of getting past the half way line.

Going backwards. Does PH know how to set up a side to score? Need two up front.

Quoted from pontoonlew

The fact Bunney gets on the pitch says more about Hurst than it does poor Bunney, not his fault.

flipping hopeless

Find it odd how quickly he's replaced Habergham with Bunney. I mean Habergham seemed a bit rusty and nothing out of the ordinary, but at least he didn't look like he was going to pass the ball to the opposition every time he had it.

I have nothing left when it comes to being critical of this team. They are an embarrassment to the club. Orient have been woeful by all accounts recently yet they are so comfortable. Its all right blaming Holloway for this mess but Hurst has had zero impact and his cautious approach is backfiring spectacularly.
I like to think I support my team no matter what but this isn't a team, its just a group of players thrown together and none of them are worth the badge.

Hurst has got to change it at half time. This lot are no good Hab for Bunny, Shop for Payne

Utter  garbage not a decent shot in anger in 47mins.. Another lets hope they dont score and try and nick one in the last 5 mins. Playing well or not, Payne is totally isolated upfront and wasting energy chasing down defenders when everyone else is stood on the halfway line. For this type of 433/451 to work the attacking mid has got to get up with the striker when we have possession and the wide players pushing right upo as well.. Its alright we will maybe keeo it to 1-0 then on 71 mins we'll bring on another striker.(wallbash)

We,re supposed to be at home, get some bloody attackers on Hurst, its all hoof the ball up, weve got nobody up there, absolutely clueless

Pains me to say it but Swin was no fool.

Quoted from carrot top

Can’t believe I’m watching a Town team. This is as bad if not worse than Holloway’s lot. I’m normally optimistic about survival chances but not anymore. Last post as it is too depressing. Better 2nd half?(irony)

Have to agree, I said Saturdays performance was as bad as it's been and tonight is no different.
The one up front doesn't do us any favours, the ball never sticks.

Lets face it these new players where availible for a reason ,,   and we are finding out why now  , same goes for hurst

Why do other clubs have a manager bounce and we never did. Hurst has to go tonight if we loose. This is his team and tactics and it's not working.

There's no excuses anymore he's had time to put a decent team together not 11 players on a pitch.

Let's face it, we're going down. I would be stunned if we don't.

Hard watch that. Need to go 442, get Hendrie on for Hewitt and Lamy on for one of the wingers.

Not working for us this system.

Awful all over the park need big changes at half time.. players don't look like they care they know most are gone in the summer

This team doesn't have a hope in hell of staying in the league.

I can usually find something positive but not so far.

Surely Hurst has realised he's getting it wrong, is he that stubborn he'll stick to his guns and watch us sink?
Rose n Matete keep bumping into each other, Hewitt runs up pitch n nobody drops in to cover him, Payne keeps seeing his backside, Mizouni is trying but there's never anyone in space to pass to, Waterfall couldn't pass wind successfully let alone a ball, apart from that we are okay!..
Wonder what Stockwood et al are thinking now eh?.

NO subs, whats Hurst playing at

no changes?

This is the culmination of an absolute stunning example of how not to run a football club . Well done all concerned. You should be proud of yourselves😂😂

What baffles me is how was Hurst such a success at Shrewsbury? He seems the same dour 'keep us shape'
merchant many of us were bored with last time he was here.

Hurst has to go or we are down anyway so may aswell change it!! 100 percent down.. How the hell can you not change after watching that lol No subs or formation change wow .. worst managing I have ever seen

Quoted from bobbyturtle

no changes?

Give it 15 minutes.. ;-)

Rose for Hanson... 8-)

Quoted from petethemariner

Just a guess but even that poor Shrewsbury team had players who could do the basics

Waterfall is a donkey

Even Croft say Bunny's hopeless

Bunney is pure quality !! ouses class what a left back

Not watching but sounds really disappointing
Will be tough to recover from this unless we get a second half wind.

Quoted from HertsGTFC

Waterfall is a donkey

We have a flipping stable full

"Doesn't look fit enough, doesn't look sharp enough" is pretty much the description of every signing we've made this year.

Quoted from louth_in_the_south

This is the culmination of an absolute stunning example of how not to run a football club . Well done all concerned. You should be proud of yourselves😂😂

The rats are scuttling away... have you noticed its been quite for weeks now...

There will be chalk outlines at the crime scene...

Orient should be 3 - 0 up

We’re being totally pulled apart aren’t we?

Should have been 4

How Joe Bunney has managed to make over 100 appearances in League One will always be one of life's great mysteries.

Also lmao flipping Menayese getting bailed out by their inept finishing yet again. Pathetic stuff

The defence are playing in another game as they’re non existent in this one.

How the intercourse have they not scored this half?? ;D

It’s not working so why isn’t he changing it?

How come Pollock doesn’t get in this team?

Give Dave Moore the job until the end of the season, he wouldn't put up with this crap.

Quoted from MuddyWaters

How come Pollock doesn’t get in this team?

Coz he’s excrement as wel

Great half time team talk by Hurst deffo turned it around he was right not to change it.........

The game just has an inevitably about it, reminiscent of our last relegation season. We look devoid of any attacking intent whatsoever and look like we’re going to concede every time the opposition attacks.

It’s very difficult to see how we get out of this. In fact I can’t see it.

I don't even think I'd be too upset if schutes and others walked away from the deal. Let fenty shoulder the blame and cost of relegation rather than walk away with a bundle of cash as we fall apart

Hurst needs to walk . Barrow showed some bottle and the Grimsby board need to do the same .

If we carry on fielding such useless, gutless players we'll drop like a stone out of even the national league.   ??)

(Now please bring on shop and make me eat my words).

How the hell are we not 5 nil down

Has Adams ever done anything of note, in any match he's played?

Very frustrating  to watch at the moment

do we have to wait till 70 mins with no subs

Quoted from kafunanapar140909

Has Adams ever done anything of note, in any match he's played?

Quoted from kafunanapar140909

Has Adams ever done anything of note, in any match he's played?

He's definitely made the number 45 shirt his own

Quoted from promotion plaice

It's the Hurst way.

No Hurst is 60-62 mins..  >:(

Bunney  can't pass

Even the scoreboard doesn't want to watch it anymore.

Never seen us thrashed 1-0 before.

Bring 5 subs on!

Crofty is bang on far too many changes still.

Is our top scorer on the bench?

Waterfall now managing to ruin attacks by giving away moronic fouls. A total liability at both ends of the pitch

Make some changes. Nothing going to happen if you leave it!

Positive substitutions at least

I was critical of Rose but he’s done ok tonight and should be taken off as we now have nobody who can collect the ball from the defenders and try and get it going in the right direction.

Oh we are playing against one of the worst teams in the league on form at the minute aswell .....

Colchester equalise - could be a big goal in the race to avoid being relegated with us.

Think the fans have lost confidence in this lot
Stevenage 3-0 up v FGR

Desperate times

Quoted from IlkleyMariner

Emphasis on 'one of the'

They are taking the urine  ;D

Bet we would thrash them at darts though.

Their midfield have so much time Matette, El Mousuni, need to work much harder.

Colchester now winning.

Not chasing a ball.  Giving then all the space around our box.

First time this season pitch has been watered,  only our players slipping.

Quoted from GrimRob

He's definitely made the number 45 shirt his own

He couldn’t even make the 45 bus his own. I have no idea what I mean, it just sounded right

Shop a bit unlucky there

Still their keeper yet to make a save though

It’s ridiculous I know but with Southend losing and barrow 0-0 it’s still not Armageddon

As well as the players Paul Hurst has to take some of the blame for this, we are just not good enough. What are we actually doing on the training ground?

Good last ditch tackle by Bunney to be fair.

We are now moving into the area that Paul Hurst will be called to account

Quoted from cmackenzie4

As well as the players Paul Hurst has to take some of the blame for this, we are just not good enough. What are we actually doing on the training ground?

Some?!

He signed most of this shower.

Look so much better with Matete and El Miz in the middle - much more attack-minded.

Quoted from promotion plaice

Funny, but barely any of our players are Runaway's so I think they'd do us at that too

Quoted from IlkleyMariner

It’s ridiculous I know but with Southend losing and barrow 0-0 it’s still not Armageddon

That’s true but if they start pulling away by anymore than 6 points I’d furlough Green, Hanson and the bigger earners and play the kids. Give them some practice for non league

Need 442 for the next game.

Quoted from davmariner

Need 442 for the next game.

Would need a new manager first!

Quoted from davmariner

Need 442 for the next game.

Been saying this for ages.

Is there a worse sight in football than waterfall doing his exaggerated look up the pitch before hoofing it through to the keeper.

Not chasing a ball.  Giving then all the space around our box.

First time this season pitch has been watered,  only our players slipping.

Quoted from davmariner

Need 442 for the next game.

I’ve always been of the opinion that when you’re struggling for form and things aren’t going your way, you go to 442. It’s a formation that every player knows how to play - forget the system and concentrate on doing your own job.

Much better commentary tonight JT. Now that we know you read the fishy!

The team that lost to Bristol Rovers at Wembley was better than this one. Despite the shop hitting the post this looks like an easy win for Orient.

Barrow losing

Barrow losing now

Desperation is making us well ..................,desperate.  Some signs of urgency.

All 3 bottom clubs now losing, but another game gone to save ourselves.

Hurst's post match interview should be interesting, they should have scored at least 3.

We pick a team/formation with one up front against a team on a real poor run.
We don't have a shot on target or work the keeper yet we leave it until 66 minutes before making a change - which makes no sense and at best is criminal.
We pick Bunney and keep him on.
I feel more angry at Hurst than I did at Holloway. He has had zero impact despite overhauling the team.
We should do a Barrow and realise our mistake.

Quoted from buckstown

Much better commentary tonight JT. Now that we know you read the fishy!

Sounds just the usual to me. Always liked Tondeur but after dealing with that Yorkshireman on Saturday hearing Tondeur's voice is like listening to smooth jazz. Was kinda hoping for an update on Stagecoach's fleet though.

They’ve scored 2 in 7 games...they could have scored double that tonight.

Quoted from promotion plaice

Hurst's post match interview should be interesting, they should have scored at least 3.

Nah it'll just be a repeat of what he said on Saturday. Nailed on he'll say something about us deserving something from the game because we looked marginally more threatening after he bothered to bring some attackers on and will completely ignore the fact they've missed 3 sitters.

Surely at some point we have to go for wins. If we're going down I'd rather see some positivity rather than waiting till we're losing every week

For someone who stuck rigidly to 4-4-2 Hurst hasn’t half f*****d up “us shape” since he came back.

Quoted from promotion plaice

Hurst's post match interview should be interesting, they should have scored at least 3.

I like to listen and count how many times he can say ‘ultimately’ these days, anything else he says is anything but interesting.

HURST OUT!!!! P1SS OFF!!

Must win game tonight, against a poor team badly out of form, and we start with one up front?

Then go a goal down after 20 minutes and make no changes until mid way through the second half?

I'm done, I can't watch this anymore, we have regressed under Hurst.
I think he needs to question himself now.

Quoted from Wrights35

HURST OUT!!!! P1SS OFF!!

This in bucket loads!..

  I wouldn't pay any of them.

Absolute embarrassment. Shame on all involved.

Absolute garbage. I aint wasting any more money on ifollow, were doomed, and any manager would of been shown the door by now. utter crap.

Bag of flipping shite.

well that's that. can't imagine there can be many out there still sporting those rose tinted specs.We are a relegated team, and deservedly so

Quoted from Wrights35

HURST OUT!!!! P1SS OFF!!

But who would take over?
Alan Buckley anyone?
Also would love to know the purpose of Ben Davies at the club.

The stats were about equal.  The game was

Wasn’t even.   We had no dribbles in the match.

Would it be better in training to aim away from the goal and hope to hit the target more often

I think both teams (Holloway's and Hurst's) are probably the overall worst I've ever seen playing for Town.

I don't think you can even call them 'teams', they are so disjointed.

Very despondent.  

Saturday is another day.  Let's hope it's a better one.

Quoted from bawarmy

But who would take over?
Alan Buckley anyone?
Also would love to know the purpose of Ben Davies at the club.

He's the one constant that has been here all season, makes you wonder what he's offering to the squad tbh... lovely lad but have to question what he's bringing to the table

W@nk !!

One decent effort worked on goal and that hit the post.

Orient missed 3/4 decent opportunities , 0-1 flattered us.

Hopefully "the believers" will see sense now and cut the positivity bull5hit.

We dont have enough quality to win a game of football....we seemingly dont have a manager that really wants to go and win a game of football.

Going to put it out there now, it’s just as bad as Holloway, if not worse.

We are going down! I'm done! F U Fenty! FU Holloway! F U half-ar sed players! Non league here we come and I just don't think I've got the energy to go through the non league years all over again......I give up and it breaks my heart

Why play defensively for 75 mins in every match until after the games gone. Please Hurst send out a team with the aim of WINNING. Put Hendry left back and keep the team that finished tonight.   And say sorry for letting Craig Clay go

Quoted from Steve Richards

OMG so disappointing this was the team we beat 3-2 with the apparently poorer cheaper team and a terrible manager! Probably the last time I saw an exciting game Williams with a classy goal and Windsor running literally from our goal line to get us a penalty that Gibson scored from. This was dreadful and so defensive

Let’s not make out that team was something special. We had a decent 20 mins in the first half then got a spawny pen with the last kick of the game. The entire season’s been shíte from start to fcking finish.

Quoted from bawarmy

But who would take over?
Alan Buckley anyone?
Also would love to know the purpose of Ben Davies at the club.

I rarely fall to the hysterical nature of wanting the manager out but tonight's formation and lack of tactical change until it was too late makes me so ruddy angry I have to agree. If were are going down at least go down ruddy fighting!!

Forest game hammered 3-0 by Stevenage. Lost to Southend as well last week.
No doubt 3 points for them on Saturday to get their promotion bid going again.
Julian Matt will enjoy himself no doubt.

I can cope with not having a job, being poor but this team is doing my friggin head in I'm going to end up with serious mental problems Every time Town play it's depressing

Well, I could rant for a while but what would be the point. You have seen it all before from me.







Oh, intercourse it...

You clueless bunch of girl privates! You are a flipping disgrace, you total excrement munching inbred morons,,,,,,(I can't be arsed to carry on typing for another hour, but you get the idea)

Buckley's an old-school lad, he'd probably get us playing 4-4-2 and go in for the attack. It'd probably work

Just hope Hurst learns his lesson from Harrogate and tonight.

So, we had the worst team in the country.

The manger left.

A new manager came in and signed 12 new players.

And now we have the worst team in the country.

How the intercourse do we manage it?

I just don't know where a win is coming from. Keeping Bunny on all game why, he was hopeless and can't run.4 4 2 was only slightly better and there was still no midfield engine room. Morais back in defence most of the game. Adams and Payne spent more time in their own half defending and no service up front. Every pass out of defence just about went to their players or nowhere near ours.

There use to be a saying they huffed and puffed but got nowhere. This lot got nowhere. Chickens running around with no ability to pass or create anything.

Hurst has to go. His tactics are all wrong 10 men defence does not work. Sticking with Bunny when Habergham is on the bench. Orient should have easily scored 4/5 or even 6 if their finishing was better.

Unbelievable!

That there’s more than one voice seemingly seriously suggesting we roll Buckley out again tells you just how bad/desperate we really have become!

Just one goal against either the titans of Harrogate or the behemoths of Leytonstone and we'd be so much better off. Just one. Hopeless..

I was pleased when Holloway was appointed. More pleased when he left.

I was pleased when Hurst was appointed.

But that just shows what a clueless twit I am. Hurst is a disaster. his record is worse that Holloway's. We weren't even in the bottom 3 when he arrived.

Apart from the results, the performances stink and some of the players he has signed are absolute crap.

Bringing Hurst back has just not worked.

We are down now, and it's too late to change that. But Hurst needs to be fired so that a new manger can build a team to bring us back from the NL.

Did anyone else read Hursts pre-match again?

"Once we see their team we will have a decent idea of how they will set-up."

I thought the idea, especially when playing at home is to play however the fook we want, and let the visiting team change their way of playing. Waiting to see how the other team line up first is just about as negative as it can be.

Grow some bollards Hurst and think about our team first. Fook the other team. Don't pander to them

Southend and Barrow lose, prolonging the agony.

Never in all my years watching football have I known a team be so poor for such a long period of time. Almost two decades of dross, year after year, manager after manager.

Surely someone can put together a team that can defend and score a goal now and again. It's pitiful.

All down to Hurst, negative negative negative till its too late, Your wingers wont do anything if they only ever receive the ball in their own half I got red crosses for this soon after Hurst came about his wingers first job is to defend, midfielders to defend and only allowed in the opposing half when we have safe possesion. F him off now, if he can't see these 1 up front or 7 at the back formations wont work. Once these teams have that lead they can just wait and break. Thought Matete played well once he was in a 2 Menayese best of the defenders improved with 2 up but again too late. Nothing wrong with Payne he got no hope just running round with the whole opposing half and 3 defenders to cover. >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

I was excited when Hurst was appointed because I thought cut the bull, play his reliable old 4-42 and get us playing pragmatic football with some solid points returns. Instead he’s decided to forget what worked well last time he was here and is faffing about with single-striker 4-2-3-1s.

The only time we looked half-dangerous today was the last 15 mins when we actually went 4-4-2 with Hanson and Shop up front.

Hurst once again more bothered about the opposition, he did it every game first time round and is still at it. Afraid he just cannot change.

Sack hurst now  tonight  give him his 2 1/2 yrs wages it will be cheaper than going down.. put sarge moore in charge go 442 and foookit  go down fighting if we have to. nothing to lose now cos as we are we are down and out

Quoted from chipsandgravy

I rarely fall to the hysterical nature of wanting the manager out but tonight's formation and lack of tactical change until it was too late makes me so ruddy angry I have to agree. If were are going down at least go down ruddy fighting!!

Hate to say it Chips, but I told you !

Negative, Negative, Negative !

It could be worse, you could be having a nightmare that we still have this same squad in 18 months .
