I'll share my opinion on whether we are good enough after the play offs, at the minute, we are picking up points which is the most important thing.

We'll know the answer then anyway!

Interesting that Steve Burr doesn't think Town are as good this season as we were last year. But the point is really - does it matter? Football is a results business and I'll take 1-0 scrambles and 3 points for any and every game to the end of this season then go from there.

And last year we couldn't beat Kidderminster, League or Cup. At the end of the day if the players have given their all from kick off to the final whistle I can't complain. Some of the starts to games, and the frustrating lapses during games do throw up the question if this is always the case, however. Fix that and we'll beat Halifax and have every chance of going up.

Most if not all of this side can play a one off storming game - Colbeck, on his game, is unplayable, for example.
However, what we have not yet seen consistently is all 11 having storming games together.
There have been excellent games - the FA cup run - but the league seems to splutter along with the wins just enough to get us up to third currently.
We should be aiming for the three important games to be when the play offs and final are played.
That's when the team must have total support, full shouting and encouragement, player praise and no negatives.
Just for all three matches hopefully, be the 12th player behind Grimsby Town - it's a chance to return once and for all back to the League - support Hurst... and whoever he chooses to play in those games !
No Newport out-thinking the team this time, no team physically playing us off the park, no more missed penalties if given, no one thinking that the players have not given their all !!

What do you think we're being served up when we're away - champagne football? No it's often dire and turgid - just like it is at home. The difference is Grim74 that those supporters going away have made a conscious decision to give the team their backing. Fans at home have a choice - either they do or they don't. Regardless of the quality of the football being served up.
You also have a choice whether or not you retreat to the bar "well before half time" - it's your choice. But at this stage in the season?
The point being made by many on here is that we have reached the point in the season where the support at games home and away should be 'blind'. Roar them on - win lose or draw. Just get behind them whatever the quality on the pitch. The famous 12th man - who knows - maybe, just maybe it will be enough to see us promoted.
I guess we'll never know if we all retreat to the bar.
There will be a time for post-mortems, where everyone can get out their daggers for the players, Hurst or Fenty, or none of the above. The time in my view is not at BP, not now.
I agree regarding away support but you still can't blame the home fans, Gateshead seem do ok with no vocal support and playing attractive football by all accounts.

I think this sums up totally what I've been saying, not a patch on last year. Is it a poorer league? Hopefully we'll still go up but is Hurst good enough on his own?

Agree overall with the comments and fear as well if we do make playoffs it could be the same disappointment as last year but we have looked good in Kidderminster Home Cambridge away Macclesfield away Scunthorpe in the cup, both games Northampton and Huddersfield in the cup so we can do it, we have played well in some fixtures. We just have to keep the faith.. Come on Town..

Just as you feel it is damned annoying to be labelled as a ‘doom–monger’, I’m equally sure Mr Hurst finds it damned annoying to be labelled as ‘dull and uninspiring’, and the less negative posters among us might also feel a little peeved at being called ‘happy-clappy’. They are all opinions, and all derogatory.
It seems to me that we’ve got two factions going on here – those who predict the worst (let’s call them the Eeyores) versus those who live in hopeful expectation that ‘something will turn up ‘, (the Mr Micawbers).
I wonder if it might be more effective if we were all on the same side, rather than this non-stop bashing each other over the head as we approach the crucial, business end of the season. My guess is, when the chips are down and it’s a really important game, we WILL be on the same side. It’s just getting there that’s the problem.
I thought we were all on the same side. Some of us have different views on management and the team, but we all want the same thing, surely? I'll eat my head if we don't.

I rest my case.
Pluck the positives out of that one.
We are not even close to good enough and if anybody can give me a genuine reason to think otherwise then I'll gladly change my mind and say my original post was wrong.
