Strange opinion that, i really rate him

Quoted from DB

2 penalties, a FA cup quarter Final and a trip to Brighton, plus a few £100K in the bank.

To move forward you must separate the Myth/Legend from Reality. I too was taken up with the euphoria of the Southampton win, because the score on the door says we outplayed them, and thrashed them 2-1.  However, we all know deep down it was Southampton 1    VAR 2. I'm still enjoying it, what game eh, still wearing my "we thrashed them " hat, still got my Harry Haddock pumped up, but I'm wearing my Reality Hat on for Carislse and Newport. We didn't play well. Simple.

We have players who struggle to trap a ball, and know where their team mates will be stood in the preferred formation of the night.

Basics - aim the ball towards a team mate, preferrably to allow a forward movement not having to check a run or turn backwards to receive. Ban the ball going above head height in training and use the full width of any pitch. Remember that Lloyd is well under 6 feet tall, and play passes at ground level for him to run onto at pace. Defend the back post at corners, more chance of stopping shots than losing opponent runs. Play Hunt in centre midfield and have an enforcer like Morris or Green (when fit) to protect him while he passes out to players.

Poor disjointed hoof / boot / head tennis type of game.

It's all about opinions. But this one is wrong.

If it wasn't for the cup run Hurst would be facing some difficult questions, let's be honest about it.

The style of play, the transfer policy,  the terrible home results and performances and the inability of the team to get on the front foot and give the crowd something to get behind.

The cup run has kept interest going and it has been great, but I think a lot of fans would be completely fed up by now otherwise.

Regardless of whatever happens at Brighton a big re think is needed in the summer.

I think that as some of our better players become match fit (Including Khan) we should move back to 4 at the back.

Also as the schedule is hectic especially next week with 2 trips South I'd would be giving the players today and tomorrow off.  

I'm taking the zen approach of another point gained, 13 clear of relegation with games in hand etc and only 1 loss in the last 6 games in all competitions........

However, leaving my Japanese peace garden for a moment I have to agree with the rest of you- if the dire football was winning lots of games we couldn't complain, but as it's generally resulting in us losing or scraping draws at home we may as well try and play it Buckleyish and at least entertain the fans

Crawley's complete capitulation has helped ease the relegation worries. They'd need to average a point a game just to catch us now and they've managed 5 points in their last 10. Rochdale have also managed 5 points from 10 games and have even fewer games to catch us.

However, the squad needs quite a lot of surgery in the summer. We haven't got anywhere near enough pace. We haven't got anywhere near players who are comfortable on the ball. And we've got virtually no creativity. Midfield needs a rethink and we desperately need three or four good attacking players.

No disrespect to Ollie Battersby but we also need an experienced keeper to put Max under a bit of gentle pressure. The inability to pass the ball is my biggest frustration, potentially we will have healthy budget so I'm optimistic.

Think there has to be an acknowledgement of amount of games, limited training etc - certainly at the moment anyway - and it impacts on energy levels, mentally etc.

That said the points about lack of pace, physicality and creativity are spot on- and have been apparent for a long time.

Whilst this squad and prior have had an amazing 12 months, and rightly recognised and applauded, if we are to progress there does need to be changes made for next season. I’m sure there will be.
