Generally think we have been unlucky, some good players some of the new players struggling with habits of losing from previous clubs that was relegated Rodgers, Eastwood and Mullarkey both our LB’s confidence is also shot and Effete too, the moans and groans from the home support don’t help with it either. This has clearly spread within the team Clifton is a prime example etc that being said it’s no wander we are shipping goals.
Yesrtedary though was a step in the right direction we are that one win, performance away from it all clicking we ain’t a bad side but we ain’t a top 7 side.
Hurst will change it around and won’t be leaving us I just can’t see it, possibly may have to change our style like last season at some point though.
We’re going to change our style? From dull and uninspiring to what? Duller and even less inspiring. We’ve got some decent players who are being asked to do something different every week.

Honest question for those who still have faith that PH is the man to take us forward - do you really think these long spells of poor form are acceptable or can be sustained on an annual basis?
20/21 - 2 wins in his first 19 21/22 - 2 wins in 14 from October, including 11 losses 22/23 - 3 wins in 13 from October, just 1 league win+ 2 fa cup 23/24 - 3 wins in first 18
It’s only during the conference season we saw anything similar in terms of a run of wins, where we had 10 wins in the first 13. For someone so level-headed and averse to swings of emotion, his form really does have a boom-bust / famine-feast look to it.
Pretty damning stats, we might get away with it in Non League but we can’t ever expect success in League 2 with a run like this almost guaranteed every year

Quoted from 123614
I'm with you Hagrid, I still have faith in PH, and will continue to back him.
Me too, that I agree the support is divided but I am still with Hurst utm

I mean, it happened last season, and we had our highest finishes in 17 seasons... I'm not saying these runs are good, or wanted, but if combined with positive runs, it can counter-balance it. I'm just hoping we can get one of those good runs now. Starting with Colchester.

That isn’t because last season was a particularly successful league campaign, more a damning indictment of how shite we’ve been for two decades.

1 point less than we had at this point in the relegation season

| Christ you all wanted him sacked a few months ago. 6th place finish and he's now the messiah and can do no wrong Update: I think I've got this right - He was the messiah. He then wasn't. He then was again. Then it turned out he actually wasnt. He turned into one big huge messiah again. Now he's not actually the messiah we thought he was . Now I'm hoping he rises again quickly |

Counter it to finish mid table every season? If that’s what we’re set for by keeping Hurst I’m not sure I’m very interested in it

Wasn’t the good run, or run of easier fixtures, supposed to start with Crawley? Or Tranmere? Or Accrington? It’s just kicking the can down the road every week. We’ve got Donny on Saturday and they’ve won 6 of their last 9.

On this note..... Judging from past discussions on here, the majority of posters think Hurst was not really accountable for our last relegation because he took over just after Christmas and apparently the rot had already set in with not enough time to turn it around. So my question now would be, how long do those people think is long enough for someone to turn around a sinking ship? And so how long do you leave it before giving someone what they feel is an appropriate amount of time to turn around the form early enough to save us from an embarrassing season? I'm not comparing the Holloway team (of the covid season) with the current team or saying this team is as bad as that, but the table doesn't lie and the form (as quoted above) is that of a team destined for a relegation battle.

Barrow have already schooled us on our own patch , passed rings around us ; even though we won , that was embarrassing enough for me Tommy .
