Quoted from Fillipe Noche
Five undefeated

In a season when Hurst hadn’t inherited a relegation situation off the muppet Holloway, a 5 game undefeated run would be getting plaudits.

There is absolutely no doubt whatsoever that Hurst is doing a good job and a significantly better job than Kermit Holloway,

I knew Holloway was a wrong un when he ordered coffee with his fish and chips instead of tea


Did your mate John make a mistake, or did he fail to confide in you on that occasion.?

Just an inconvenient update for some

Hurst & Holloway now have identical records (i've included the Morecambe League cup draw & Dagenham defeat as they were both first team fixtures)

Holloway = played 22 won 5, drawn 5, lost 12 = 20 points
Hurst = played 22 won 4, drawn 8, lost 10 = 20 points

edit:
goals - holloway 19 scored, 35 conceded =  -16
           hurst 16 scored ,25 conceded   =   -9

You’re not playing the game right. Everyone knows we like to shift the blame on to old cuppy ears...

just balancing things up psg. For several months the usual suspects have taken delight in pointing out that Hurst's record was worse than Holloway.

it's almost as those people don't want Hurst to succeed - once again there has been much less praise coming for yesterday's excellent performance than the brickbats which come when we lose

Agreed, has anybody heard from Yoda and the other usual suspects?

I’d like to think most people, Hurst fans or otherwise, can see we are a better outfit now (and over the past 8 or 9 games) than at any point this season under Holloway. We’ve arguably been unlucky not to pick up another 3 or 4 points during that period, but that is what it is.

If Hurst made a mistake, it’s that he tried to do too much in January, bringing in virtually a new team of players, some who improved us whilst others didn’t. That meant taking a step backwards to move forwards - one we couldn’t afford.

Seven players who were already here started yesterday’s game, the same number who started against Bolton. In some of Hurst’s early games in charge, that figure was as few as one.

It sounds counter-intuitive based on where we find ourselves, but perhaps our biggest mistake this season was overestimating how bad we were.


A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.

I was thinking about the thread title and another thread title 'Imagine', and joined them together in my mind ( small as it is).

We stay up and Holloway gets the Bristol Rovers job. We play them away and win 2 - 1 and the return home game hammer them 6- 0 to get promotion to L1 while the 6th goal makes means their goal difference gets them relegated to the NL.

Bloody good stuff this Red Wine!

Wow.major concession  from Yoda.i know it will hurt, but can you go that extra mile and accept that it was a bloody good win yesterday  given the injuries and non availability that hurst had to cope with?
