Wearne to Torquay

Quoted from DB

Hurst also took a downtrodden team from relegation to promotion and is now 4 points from League 2 play-off place. I'd rather him get through players and be where we are now than make fewer signings and still be in the NL.

As somebody posted Hurst is in the results business and points on the board are what he is judged by.

Quoted from Knut Anders Fosters Voles

Contrary to wacky conspiracy theories, Paul Hurst enjoys his job and wants to preserve it. The best way to do that is to win football matches. The easiest way to win football matches is to keep a clean sheet.

I don’t know JMD and Wearne personally so can’t comment on their respective attitudes but both of them strike me as better going forward than in reverse. In Wearne’s case, in the limited first team chances he has been given so far, his attacking threat hasn’t been consistent enough to negate his defensive limitations.

I’m expecting all of this sort of cräp over the next few weeks when so called England fans start burning effigies of Gareth Southgate because he refuses to pick James Maddison. On talent alone, Maddison walks into this England team but the one thing he’s reliable at is being a complete bell end. Maddison’s the sort of player who gets his manager the sack. I think it was the 5-2 thrashing against Brighton, Maddison gave the ball away deep in his own half, shirked a challenge then trotted back like an entitled Gen-Z cûnt, allowing Brighton to score their fourth or fifth.

Now, I’m not saying JMD and Wearne are like that but there’s usually a reason someone as level headed as Hurst doesn’t pick someone. You won’t have much of a career at Grimsby unless you are willing to work and chances are you won’t have much of a career full stop.

Quoted from Maringer

Mackreth seemed to somehow lose his pace after he signed for us, which was odd. Perhaps he'd picked up an injury the season before he joined us because he'd always looked pretty rapid when he'd played against us? Or, perhaps, our full-backs were always a bit slow!

Nielsen didn't even like football and decided a life of crime was a better option so perhaps not a surprise that Hurst couldn't get a tune out of him. Marshall had that purple patch but then never recreated it after he left us, or when he returned, for that matter. Vose disappeared into non-league football after he left us. At the time he was with us I said he had a lot of ability, but the team would need to play in a certain way to let him show it. However, I don't think he was really quite good enough to base a whole team around.

Ultimately, I think that if these players were having great careers after they left us, then it might have something to do with the environment at the club or Hurst's preferred style of play, but they simply haven't done so. It would be an almighty coincidence for all of them all to have individually struggled for reasons not relating to their actual abilities.

Quoted from lew chaterleys lover

Of course he did and we are all eternally grateful but we are not talking about that.

We are not making enough chances or scoring enough goals and we are discussing why that might be.

Getting attacking, clever players in more advanced areas seems to be a good, if basic idea to me.

If our wingers are picking up the ball 60 yards from goal it is much less likely to end up in the opposition net.

If Macatee comes back he will drag the team up the pitch but we have to explore ways without him.

Quoted from Limerick Mariner

Surely this is "when" not "if".

He's played a Development Squad game - so that's full contact done. What is the typical timescale to a League game from that as a first 90 min run out? 2 weeks? On the bench v Stevenage, or even Donny?
