Assessment

Quoted from RonMariner

If memory serves his first game was against Chelsea. He scored one and made one in a 2-0 win. He was obviously a class act. Well, it may not have been his first game, but it was the first time I saw him play.

The goal he scored was a near post header from a corner. I'd never seen a Town player do that before (I was youngish) and
was gobsmacked at the simplicity of it all.

And that's how I remember TW - doing seemingly simple-looking stuff which was superb in context. Sheer class.

On today’s evidence so far it’s not looking too bad!!!

Looks like Hursty got the right pieces for his jigsaw, new guys blending in great.

So being optimistic about the players we have brought in...

Everything I've seen and read about George Lloyd makes me think he could easily become a fans favourite due to his
workrate and combative nature. If he can start scoring goals we'll have a gem.

Tom Dickson-Peters has Scottish international caps at youth level - so there's certainly some ability there - and is described
as a 'clinical finisher' on his Norwich City webpage, who rate him highly.
Well that's what we need isn't it? Someone good at finishing off our (often) good approach play.
Doesn't need to be a 6-footer heading in crosses who scores our goals. Think Podge...

Josh Emmanuel is a super signing if his health issues are behind him...a real coup.
I can't believe PH hasn't done the due diligence on a player he knows well, so very hopeful.

Please excuse me while I feel a bit smug...  

Only one game but the initial assessment may need reviewing on that performance. Brilliant stuff! now let's smash Luton and book ourselves a spot in the 5th round UTM

I think most of us went to bed on Tuesday night feeling a bit deflated with the players Hurst had signed and probably felt he had left it too late and all we had ended up with was a few players that no one else wanted , after seeing the team sheet prior to kick off we didn’t look too bad and with a good bench I felt more positive about today but never expected them to perform the way they did today and end up scoring 3 goals and keeping a clean sheet. Great result and now looking up the table instead of down. Well done to everyone today. UTM

As I thought, the incoming players looked to be better than the ones they replaced at first glance; not by a massive amount, but an improvement all the same. They weren't the fully formed, experienced players we were hoping for, except for Emmanuel and he's only here because he's working his way back to full fitness, but they looked to have a bit more than the young lads they replaced. Kiernan was hard working but limited and JMD was the opposite.

Today couldn't have gone much better, and it's not often we bring in a striker who scores on his debut, never mind two.

But let's not get carried away, we are still a work in progress and those better players we were hoping for will have to arrive in the summer now. We are likely to have days when we lose 3-0, so let's just have a bit of patience, get ourselves to 50 points as soon as possible and then see where we end up with this set of players.

We can then improve again in the summer.

As I said on another thread I hold my hands up!

So Jason was right we will improve every window.

Well done to all the players today and Hursty for getting it right again.

Roll on Luton !!!!
