TOWN: McKeown, Hendrie, Hewitt, Menayese, Clifton, Morais, Matete, Coke, Lamy, John-Lewis, Hanson.

Subs: Battersby, Waterfall, Rose, Adams, Green, Payne, Jackson Jr.

He'd be a fool to change it after last tuesdays performance, so I'm glad to see he hasn't except for the obvious forced ones

Massive. Massive game

Last chance i feel

Hope Macca does ok today. Looks like the subs bench are those that aren't injured.
Still they should get a win, as apart from Macca and Clifton the rest played on Tuesday.

UTM

Quoted from Hagrid

Massive. Massive game

Last chance i feel

13 matches left after this evening's match. How is this "last chance"?

Clifton at LB in a four, not as a wing back?

Quoted from GollyGTFC

13 matches left after this evening's match. How is this "last chance"?

You living under a rock?

We’re 7 points adrift ffs

Quite like the look of that. Clifton has played well at left back before. He wont let us down.

Should be ok so, long as

a) Macca doesn't give them a gift goal
b) If we are winning with five minutes to go he doesn't bring Waterfall on to secure the points.

And there are 39 points to play for!

Big game today but with Port Fail losing and us beating Colchester I honestly think the escape could be on
We lose and its curtains

Quoted from 123614

And there are 39 points to play for!

we have 2 wins in the last 20 games or something like that. There might be 39 points to play for, but its looks like we're more likely to get 10 of them and I feel I'm being really generous there sadly

Thats an attacking looking bench.....








i guess all the other defensive players are injured  ;D ;D

Quoted from Hagrid

You living under a rock?

We’re 7 points adrift ffs

Yes, but clubs have survived from far worse positions than we find ourselves in now.

We fight until it's a mathematic certainty that we are down.

Good luck Macca

For Me, this is the last chance saloon. Our form is rotten and our remaining fixtures include Exeter away, Bolton at home, Bradford away, Cambridge away… These are difficult games for a good team utm

Clean sheet for Macca today will do him the world of good.

Quoted from Hagrid

You living under a rock?

We’re 7 points adrift ffs

Win today and it's 4 points, win on Tuesday, 1 point and beat Barrow.

All to play for, we might be at the bottom but not down and out.

Quoted from Humbercod

Clean sheet for Macca today will do him the world of good.

To be fair, I think it would do us all the world of good.

FT.....Southend 0-0 Stevenage

The team we were so unlucky not to beat last Tuesday, are beating in-form Bradford. Is that an indication of how we are progressing, or just fluke scores?

Bench is worryingly limited , no wide replacements , Rose and Waterfall both very much one positional players.  Any injuries/ tired legs and we could be severely effected.
However , would like to see Jackson come on ahead of Green.

To me it's case of who's not injured, at least Williams isn't their

Quoted from promotion plaice

FT.....Southend 0-0 Stevenage

So that leaves us 5 points behind them, but with three games in hand. If we win today we are 3 behind with two games in hand. So they are not out of reach.

Mind you, it's all a load of guff if we don't start winning.

Oh no!
Des O'Conner in goal (Careless hands)
A wing back at full back.
Nothing on the bench though except Adams

Go on prove me wrong.
Looks good for a Town no clean sheet again

.

Win today and we are 7 points behind Port Vale with two games in hand.

Just saying.

Good to see Jackson back involved believe he's played on the right wing before so could be an option

Quoted from RonMariner

So that leaves us 5 points behind them, but with three games in hand. If we win today we are 3 behind with two games in hand. So they are not out of reach.

Of course we're going to win. All the others have had a run but us. It's our turn now. Staying up.

Here goes gulp...

Think it's time people cut Green a bit of slack, he's doing his best in a shockingly bad team.

Hope he doesn't read The Fishy.

Whilst he is one of our players he will get my support.

Bring on the red crosses.

Just noticed Pell is playing.
Plenty of free kicks for them around the box.
Vital we defend well.

Quoted from RonMariner

Win today and we are 7 points behind Port Vale with two games in hand.

Just saying.

We play Port Fail at home at the end of the season, if we can stay in touch.

Quoted from Humbercod

Clean sheet for Macca today will do him the world of good.

  
It'll do me a world of good as well   ;)

Quoted from RonMariner

Win today and we are 7 points behind Port Vale with two games in hand.

Just saying.

We play them at home on 1st May. Same day Barrow play Southend. Let's hope we can make that day interesting...

Vale lost at home.

We have a tough run-in:  

Plenty of teams have beaten relegation by beating teams near the top.  Didn’t Fulham win their last 3 away games, after not winning away all season?  And won at Man United.

We just need a win to kickstart our survival.  Please!

On paper yes, difference for me is that this League is carp this season, has any team looked any good (apart from Grimsby for 45 mins away at Orient)? I think the best performance I've seen is from Salford and that was the way they played the ref...

Quoted from Morris Minor

Just noticed Pell is playing.
Plenty of free kicks for them around the box.
Vital we defend well.

Was looking forward to the game until I read Harry bloody Pell is in it. That miserable waste basket has the ability to slow games to a crawl and make it boring to watch.

It's hard work being optimistic but I try

Quoted from buckstown

urine off Pell

Quoted from promotion plaice

They might have been fibbing   ;)  

Said in the paper today that their reserve keeper is partially blind in one eye and 60% deaf in one ear.

My god, that weather looks appalling

John Tondeur just LOVES talking about the weather!

Make that all season.

Great ball by Ljl

Horrendous free kick technique that.

Morais off free-kicks please. Jesus christ...

Looking good in attack. Lamy having a good game so far

Some great last ditch defending there

Well stopped by McKeown!

Macca did well from that corner

Quoted from DB

Looking good in attack. Lamy having a good game so far

Looks a player that lad

Good spell for town looking good

That'll be good for Macca's confidence - I hope!

Stupid challenge, lucky to only get a yellow, but wow Colchester are a gigantic bunch of girl privates

Such a daft challenge by Matete

Matete is very lucky, I've thought for the last few games that he is going to get himself in trouble.

Phew - fully expected a red there

Typical innit. They're more bothered about getting a player sent off than their supposedly injured teammate.

What is he doing? Lucky, lucky boy

intercourse. Off. Pell

But Matete has to be so careful

Matete got away with that a little bit. I'm not complaining, but he's been lucky to just get yellow you see players go for less

Colchester need fining for not controlling their players.

Why is that Grimsby have never really had a team that's worked on a ref like we see time and time again from the opposition?

Amazing how their players wanted a red for Matete but couldn't care about the man down!!!!!!!!

Admire the desire from Matete but he really needs to be more sensible as on another day he'd be off and we'd be fooked.

"Most former Mariners are welcomed back when they return. Pell definitely is not." JT.

Quoted from Manchester Mariner

"Most former Mariners are welcomed back when they return. Pell definitely is not." JT.

Really can't even recall him playing for us so probably shows how much he achieved during that loan.

he’s a c u next tuesday.

He will be working in tesco in a year.

That punch will give Macca confidence

Quoted from Yoda

he’s a c u next tuesday.

He will be working in tesco in a year.

I worked for Tesco.

He was a big lump and didn’t do much for us, but seems to bumble along in the lower leagues.

Nearly for LJL and Hanson

We're playing very well, just need that bit of quality.

Quoted from Plankton

We're playing very well, just need that bit of quality.

And there lies the problem.

Harry Clifton not left footed is he? That air kick was hilarious

Town are putting some good football together

Probably an obvious thing to say, but if this team figures out how to score goals we're more than good enough to stay up.

Quoted from promotion plaice

And there lies the problem.

Just as I posted that comment, Clifton does a fandango.

A goal for us can't be far off

Ahhhhh SHOOT!

Midfield looks very good today, best I've seen them

Quoted from Plankton

Just as I posted that comment, Clifton does a fandango.

did you see a little silhouetto of a man?
thunderbolts and lightning very very frightening me!

Someone needs to explain to Clifton the objective is to put the football into the opposite sides net.

Coke playing well

We knew he was capable of that.

How has the shop not scored that!?

OH Captain Shop! It was easier to score then miss from there

Never change Lenell

Lenny 🤦‍♂️

LJL doing what Carlise did on Tuesday lol

Thats why we will go down

How the hell did he miss it.

If the Shop had put that away we could have taken Hanson off at half-time and put Waterfall on.

Bounced up but has to score

Came off the defender, unlucky again before we all start laying into LJL

Very frustrating, we should be winning at half time.

Well a good first half, can see us scoring in the 2nd half.

Quoted from Hagrid

Coke playing well

He's the real thing.

Typical Shop finish.

Quoted from lee65

Bounced up but has to score

Very unlucky IMO.

The midfield look really good now they've been playing together a bit, some good passing and movement. We have players who can use the ball at their feet and are getting crosses in. It only takes one cross to find somebody and a goal to come, if they keep playing like that they'll get some joy.

If u look at recent results we’ve either won or played much better than other teams have done against the same sides we’ve either drawn or lost to.

Still hopeful

Straight out the blocks in the second half pleeeease.

Well....same old ....decent enough effort, performance and shape...nothing in front of goal.
Looking better in all areas there except in the final third/ around their box.
Clifton doing ok with Lamy, Hendrie ok with Morais, Coke Matete, Hewitt and Meneyase and even Hanson and LJL all linking up well and looking like we know each other....just the final bit, getting shots on target/ creating opportunities, probably two in that first half, both ending up with LJL who fluffed his lines on both.

The biggest positive I can take from the 1st Half is that Col U are absolutely dreadful. Bodes well for the 2nd Half and for the rest of the season.

Good to see the midfield clicking a bit just need to get one of them further forward to support the two strikers.

The overall improvement is evident again but it needs to result in 3 points or it counts for nothing.

Has to be one of the best first halves, keep going in the 2nd and a goal will come.

England get a late win against France in the rugby.

The wheels are falling off at Lincoln.

Come on Town make it a treble, make my day.

It’s the LJL we know we’d signed, good general play but fluffs his lines regularly when it matters.

We have a huge chance here, we need to capitalise here

Can see Coke has quality, him and Matete are bossing the midfield, Hanson and LJL linking really well but still say the unsung hero is Hewitt, not getting beat for pace and is backing Hendrie and Clifton up excellently..
Lamy looks a player, loved the chip over the defenders head followed by a lovely cross, deserved a goal there.

Quoted from grimsby pete

2 points Ron . :)

Great! Even better!

Sorry but no excuses for missing that . But still hope as we’ve had all the play and Colchester look far worse than us

I've just seen their lineup for the first time. I'd forgotten that Nouble is playing for them again.

He always seems to score against us. Let's hope he is mis-firing today.

A couple of quickfire goals in this half would be good

Listen we done ok but we haven't got any goals in the team lets hope i'm wrong 2nd half utm

Come on Town, get into em

Macca did good with that cross, his confidence must be up

Looking like the current 11 vs 11 are pretty much matching each other. Game could depend on whether either team can use their bench to create a positive change.

Macca has got his mo jo back

Very good save by McKeown. We've gone to sleep this half

Has anyone other then Macca come back out of the dressing room yet?

Under the cosh now.

Great save by Macca, I thought their was a little deflection on the way too.

off Pell!

Pell diving twit

Oh would you look at that, Harry Pell diving around like a massive cheating buffoon.

Surely Pell should be booked for that dive?

I hate that lanky girl private

We need to score. FFS

Yes, if no Pen then has to be yellow

Wish RH would switch that music off

Not watching but should I start to get worried. Just remember it’s a must not lose game rather than a must win one.

Still hoping.

Quoted from DB

Wish RH would switch that music off

Can switch to Away commentary for a very dull commentary until JT/Crofty come back.

Jeez it that the best music they could think of   ;D

can't work out why hes taken the shop off

Need to be putting dross like this to.the sword.  Had our chances. Need to put this game to bed otherwise it will come back and haunt us.

Payne and Hanson to finish them off....here’s hoping

It’s like Father Stone!

How've Colchester got their own away commentary when we keep getting told we can't have away commentary at the moment because of the lockdown restrictions?!

Quoted from The_Chief

Need to be putting dross like this to.the sword.  Had our chances. Need to put this game to bed otherwise it will come back and haunt us.

Haha dross?
Has the Colchester keeper made a save in the 2nd half?
you have to laugh,11 points better off.
Deluded.

Quoted from Chrisblor

How've Colchester got their own away commentary when we keep getting told we can't have away commentary at the moment because of the lockdown restrictions?!

It's not their commentary. Provided by RH, someone on Twitter told me he's often our co-commentator but on his own for some reason.

Quoted from Chrisblor

How've Colchester got their own away commentary when we keep getting told we can't have away commentary at the moment because of the lockdown restrictions?!

Quoted from sonofmadeleymariner

Traumatised after missing from 2 yards.

We've gone to sleep in the second half

Quoted from Chrisblor

Radio Humberside are lazy and cheap that's why. They can't even get commentary to work for a full game no matter where it is, you think such a mickey mouse operation is going to do anything useful when they have an excuse not to  ;D

Quoted from Chrisblor

How've Colchester got their own away commentary when we keep getting told we can't have away commentary at the moment because of the lockdown restrictions?!

Presumably the Col U commentators (if they are at the ground) aren't from BBC local radio.

Quoted from BenBB

Thanks for that. Even this guy is better than burnsie and ull

JT/Crofty seem to be back now

This is dreadful.

Would have taken Morais off before Lamy. He's been looking tired and not at his best for several matches now. Shouldn't be a huge surprise - you can't expect a 35 year old to play 90 minutes twice a week.

Still 0-0 but we really are shite aren't we, the table doesn't lie.

Here's hoping we sneak a win.

Quoted from BenBB

JT/Crofty seem to be back now

Thanks

First half decent, second half dross. Like two different teams.

I thought Lamy was playing well, can't see why he took him of

I thought Lamy was playing well, can't see why he took him of

Quoted from MuddyWaters

First half decent, second half dross. Like two different teams.

Maybe their manager is better at half-time team talks than ours.

Town have showed some good ideas and overall looked better organised but in reality their keeper has had a p1ss easy night.

We’ve been poor second half. So poor

God this is poor. Just waiting for them to score.

Are players look like they're playing in lead boots. Slow to every loose ball. If we can't go a full match without running out of poof we have no hope.

Crofty needs to stop cracking himself off over Harry Pell FFS.

Quoted from Hagrid

We’ve been poor second half. So poor

Which is the norm for us in the second half

Bring waterfall on and out him up front!

Come on FFS. Can't let these tossers get away with a point surely?

We deserve to go down if we can't beat dross like this

Quoted from promotion plaice

Maybe their manager is better at half-time team talks than ours.

Didn't know we had one.

Time ebbing away again, every ball we touch is just bounced against all their gigantor players and nothing much looking like it'll happen.

Got to be our turn to grab a late winner surely?

Depressing, has Fenty gone yet?

Quoted from Chrisblor

We deserve to go down if we can't beat dross like this

Hurst, subs, again

Quoted from promotion plaice

Depressing, has Fenty gone yet?

He's on death watch !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are shocking. You wouldn't think we were fighting for survival.

Adams! Is a he a pro footballer?

Barrow managed to score at this stage in their match yesterday. If we can't do the same then we don't deserve to stay up.

!st half very good, full of hope. Half time Hurst's team talk. 2nd half went backwards, poor subs for a second game

And the fat lady starts her intro

Hurst OUT rubbish tactics again

Well at least we are on a two game unbeaten run  :)

Gone, gone, gone...

flipping awful result.

Great result.......

For Southend & Barrow.

No surprises really we’re just not good enough not sure Colchester are much better but they’ll be in the league next season and we’ll be on the way to Bromley etc... players looked clueless in the 2nd half.

Quoted from DB

Hurst OUT rubbish tactics again

You are a complete helmet mate.

Socking.

We are down.

First time I've paid to watch town this season....

Awful, absolutely awful. No urgency, no desire. Constant flick ons to no one.

Sorry to say it but going down.

3rd game on the trot where weve played well, but if we cant score goals, or create chances, we are not going to win

Quoted from DB

Hurst, subs, again

So the other night there were complaints cos he brought on a defender, tonight you complain because he goes for it by bringing on attackers.  FFS, make your fecking minds up what you want.

Lack of any passion from the players. Second half was so poor. We’ve had it guys. Really have

Quoted from DB

!st half very good, full of hope. Half time Hurst's team talk. 2nd half went backwards, poor subs for a second game

Who else could we have bought on? The attacking options were on the pitch just none of them managed to do much today apart from LJL missing a sitter as we've seen him do many times before. Just another game where we are made to rue those chances we did have has Colchester really showed very little. Only thing they had is Harry Pell charging around like a looney because he's obsessed with beating us.

Rubbish and Red Cross all you like

Hurst has now taken 6 points from a possible 36.

He has to go.

Quoted from HertsGTFC

You are a complete helmet mate.

Why is he?...you tell me what Hurst has done to change our fortunes!...f@ck all, that's what!!.

Down with Southend then.
Can't see any other outcome.

And that's why we are going down....cant muster a decent effort in goal in 45mins of play.
Just not enough quality in the attacking third.

That final 30 secs, a chance to send a long diagonal into the mixer.....but we just pass it about until the ref blows his whistle.

Disappointing not to win, but undefeated for over a week.
Not happened for a long time

Quoted from GTFCNiles

First time I've paid to watch town this season....

Awful, absolutely awful. No urgency, no desire. Constant flick ons to no one.

Sorry to say it but going down.

Having seen most games, the most positive thing I can say is we’re unbeaten in two.

Quoted from HertsGTFC

Great result.......

For Southend & Barrow.

No surprises really we’re just not good enough not sure Colchester are much better but they’ll be in the league next season and we’ll be on the way to Bromley etc... players looked clueless in the 2nd half.

Honest summary.
People referring to Colchester as "dross" does make you laugh.
Great point for the away side while Town didn't threaten once in the second half.

Garbage second half.

We have thrown away so many opportunities.  Criminal, just criminal.

Quoted from HertsGTFC

You are a complete helmet mate.

Quite a few helmets on here mate, I just hope we stay up and make them look stupid.  UTM.

Colchester are dog's. We have average L2 footballers but as a group, will to win, desire, leadership just isn't there.

Quoted from RonMariner

Hurst has now taken 6 points from a possible 36.

He has to go.

Blimey, that's an appalling stat. We're on squeaky bum time.

looks ok in parts but we just never look like getting a goal , lenny good chance before ht apart from that nothing at all , think the issue is no creativity in the midfield sit too deep protecting back 4 .

Most of them know they wont be here next season so why bother

Quoted from Stadium

Honest summary.
People referring to Colchester as "dross" does make you laugh.
Great point for the away side while Town didn't threaten once in the second half.

They are dross though, they were really really poor, yet we still barely troubled them bar LJL's chance. As soon as him and Lamy went off it was curtains because there's no attacking threat at all in this squad without those two on the pitch.

Quoted from Northbank Mariner

Why is he?...you tell me what Hurst has done to change our fortunes!...f@ck all, that's what!!.

Spot on bud 1 shot on target again flipping hopless!

Quoted from 123614

So the other night there were complaints cos he brought on a defender, tonight you complain because he goes for it by bringing on attackers.  FFS, make your fecking minds up what you want.

So how many starts have Payne, Adams and Jackson made in the last few weeks. Everybody fit they'd be ball boys. Another bad error by PH. No doubt he'll be a reasonably good manager for several seasons in the NL

Cannot understand criticism of subs
What are your alternatives then?
Never worked their keeper
Wrong choices so many times
Poor final ball
Several attacking players have good 45 mins then fade badly

Look pretty solid but offer very little

Not good

DB hurst disnt sign Jackson. He put all our attacking options on, we’re just not good enough mate

Thought Jackson did ok, Morais poor today.

FFS, we were at home, 1 shot, 1 on target, it simply isn't good enough...there is no defending the management team now, he's had 11 games to sort it out and he's failed, yes he's shored it up at the back but for god's sake we have less threat than a sniper with a toy gun!...

Thing for me is we are behind in ambition to even barrow! They were going nowhere under jolley so acted upon it and are now reaping their rewards, whilst we just plod on and on with Hurst into the conference. It's almost like we have just accepted our fate and it's not acceptable though is it

Cue the deniers to come, on a say, 'Oh but we still have 39 points to play for........

They have taken 9 points from the last 6 games.

We have taken 7 points from the last 14 games.

Colchester were absolutely shite and we still didn’t beat them.SHITE

Well that sucked all life, hope & energy out of my living room.

Yes but miles ahead in the term of points & application in the game tonight.
And Town did not inflict any damage really apart from a ridiculous miss.
Embarrassing in general.

5 shots on target in the last 4 games. Awful second half. Great weekend for Barrow.

End.

Laughing stock of the whole of the football league. I’m just seeing the funny side of it now as gave up on survival weeks ago.  ;D

It must have sunken in with the most entrenched denier that we are now doomed. Only one man to blame this will be forever an albatross around his neck.

Reminds me of when Hurst was here last time. 90 mins of nothing much but huff and puff. Create one chance and fluff it.

We ain't staying up if we can't score and we can't score.

Quoted from Hagrid

DB hurst disnt sign Jackson. He put all our attacking options on, we’re just not good enough mate

I agree with you but after the first half I was up for a win. Hanson and LJL worked well for each other, Lamy in the first half was one of our stars, if I can use that word.

2nd half was dire compared to the first, especially after he took off LJL and Lamy. Just didn't look like scoring in the 2nd half. To me Hurst cost us 2 points on Tuesday and today he failed with his subs again. It was obvious to see all 3 subs were poor, which is probably why they haven't started for ages. They did nothing to replace the 3 players who were taken off.

Sorry to say that we didn't have options. In this order Fenty, Holloway and Hurst are all responsible in various different degrees for Towns downward fall.  

Fookin ell lads. Grab these fookin opportunities when they smack you in the face.  

6 points should've been bagged from the last 2 games. Instead they can't see a game out midweek and have made Pell look like Kevin de Bruyne.  

JT to Hurst, we didn't work their keeper, well we hit the crossbar !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He's talked the talk with JT but he has to . How on earth can anybody defend him. It's a point business and we aren't getting any in abundance. Played 12, max points 36, 1 win 3 draws and 8 defeats and bottom of the league.

Any other club he'd have gone. Why are we so poor at looking at the obvious?

Quoted from Steve Richards

Very poor zero creativity. Subs were poor and whole team tired. Where are Williams Bennett and Scannell when you need them? On to Wednesday...

2 are injured ones the others flipping excrement

With this record he can’t be allowed to continue next season, 6 points out of 36 is shocking.

He’s got to go.

Think we have to stick with what we’ve got this season
Thought p h should continue next season but not so sure now.

Apart from moaning, what do our negative fans suggest we do.
If we don’t continue support, we will certainly go down.

Quoted from HertsGTFC

And who would replace him exactly?

Dave Moore on his own is better than what we have.

Is their any truth in a rumour that Hurst is in for an award. Best league 2 manager to get his team relegated?

Quoted from IlkleyMariner

Think we have to stick with what we’ve got this season
Thought p h should continue next season but not so sure now.

Apart from moaning, what do our negative fans suggest we do.
If we don’t continue support, we will certainly go down.

Well that excludes my comments, I'm known as a positive fan by many.

I guess I am one of the 'negative ' fans you refer to.  I am angry, upset, frustrated and disappointed by the state of the club I love. That's why my posts are not always full of the joys of spring.

In terms of what do I suggest? Well if you went back to December you will see that I suggested bringing in at least 6 quality players. I specifically mentioned that we should not rely on inexperienced kids, non league players and players past their sell by date. Unfortunately very few of Hurst;s signings do not fall into one of those categories. It's too now though.

I get no joy from complaining about the state we have fallen to. We are going down,

That said, I believe the new owners will bring a new approach and we will have some great seasons ahead of us. I can see us climbing up top the top of L1 within the next five years.  But we are going down this season.      .

I'm an optimist as you know, but I can't see this at all for a decade at least. I'll probably be dead before that happens, too much competition in the NL of ex league clubs.

Very interesting but my question was what should we do now. December has passed.

Well you’ve just confined my comment about you earlier.

Quoted from HertsGTFC

Well you’ve just confined my comment about you earlier.

Sorry but I must have missed it.

Was it something to do with vision, optimism, positivity, realist, wanting the best for Town and similar words. Not wanting Town to go down to the NL, been given a fighting chance with a manager who takes, say 1.5 points per game, a manager who stood head and shoulders above all other candidates for the job. Criticising a manager, who in any other club would be sacked, for taking 6 points out of 36, for wining one very lucky game out of 12.

Did any of these upset you.

Hurst should be sacked, he might have done a good job in August but we had him, the man who all thought was the clubs saviour. Hurst said it's a mess in public, what he told the players at that time we may never know. Probably shattered the confidence of some.

He had the option to try and improve what he had with some quality. He didn't. He brought in his team, 1st choice, 2nd choice, fill a gap or whatever we will never know. What we do know is that it hasn't worked, since he came we went downwards. If you like being positive we can't drop anymore.

Most honourable men would resign, but not Hurst. When questioned by JT about putting pressure on the Colchester keeper Hurst said 'We hit the crossbar'. 90 minutes of pressure on a keeper to do one thing, hit a crossbar. That's being positive!, one shot on target in 90 mins of a relegation struggle.

If Hurst cannot keep us up, what chance have we of coming straight back up from the sh!ty NL. We have a very slim chance of staying up, but it needs a man manager who will motivate the players we have. I do not have details of the managers who would meet that criteria but somewhere this information formally or informally is available.

He doesn't have to be a mastermind tactician but to get the players to perform above their abilities for 12 or so games.

Quoted from IlkleyMariner

I don't think there is anything we can do to save us this season. We just don't have the quality of players, and we can't bring in more at this stage.

Regarding the future, we need a massive clear out in the summer, serious investment in the playing staff, and a new manager. I am sure this is what the new owners will undertake.

I agree with you, but who really did give the job to Hurst. As much as I ask nobody has answered the question, not even a rumour. Somebody has to be supporting him in the club hierarchy or he'd have gone. Consortium have no authority, Fenty is waiting for his cheque to be signed so Hurst's fairy godmother is a mystery.

We’re going down . How can you watch that game and see any other outcome?! Absolutely pathetic second half .

None of what you say upsets me I just find it bizarre that after all if your in depth synopsis of the current situation all you can suggest is give the job to Dave Moore.

Maybe some of the players are already performing above their current abilities, maybe the players just aren’t good enough.

When you say he had the option to improve us with some quality I’m no expert but “quality” doesn’t usually dwell at the bottom of league 2 or usually gravitate to that level.

In terms of getting a “man manager” to motivate the players how do you measure this? Is it someone who jumps around like a demented baboon on the touch line? Well we had one of those and he caused untold damage and walked when he couldn’t grab his pay day.

Or is the “man manager“ a manager who quietly gets on with the business of creating an environment where everyone is on the same page towards the same cause.

If we go down should Hurst go? Yeah quite possibly but calling for his head now hardly illustrates “optimism” or “positivity” does it?

Optimism and Positivity aren’t 2 words that are meaning a lot to me and probably a load of other Town fans at the minute.

Quoted from HertsGTFC

And who would replace him exactly?

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Same old boring answer.

Any of the out of work managers out there couldn't really do much worse.

Quoted from Hagrid

2 are injured ones the others flipping excrement

Most of the entire squad are excrement, that's why we are 6 points adrift at the bottom of League 2.

Quoted from W.T.F

Thing for me is we are behind in ambition to even barrow! They were going nowhere under jolley so acted upon it and are now reaping their rewards, whilst we just plod on and on with Hurst into the conference. It's almost like we have just accepted our fate and it's not acceptable though is it

Spot on.

MJ got 7 points from 21 and was sacked after only 7 games in charge. They have now got 9 points from 15.

PH has got 6 points from 36 and is still in charge.

I bet the Barrow fans are really drunk off they didn't stay with Jolley.

Just forced myself to watch the 'highlights'. As for LJL's miss from two feet out, all I can say is chuffin hell.

Not at all, but then I can usually see the good in most people. Some take longer than others.
