What I have difficulty with is,

If Hurst thinks players need a rest because of the amount of games we have played is

Why does he keep playing the two oldest players in every game,?

The end of the season is a lot more than 2 weeks away.

League position brings in the crowds far more than "entertainment". Crowds were up 40% last year, they're a bit down this year but still well up on Hurst's predecessors who got nowhere near the play-offs.



Well I'm pleased your happy with all the success and entertainment he has brought us

Its the same every week  
We might stumble into the play offs only to be shown up by some part timers ,Give someone a shot at it for the last few games and see what happens.
We really do have nothing to lose by sacking him in the morning
FFS......and create chaos and disarray at the business end of the season. I know tonight was woeful but that is just a kneejerk reaction.

I don't think we've played well since Huddersfield. God knows what will happen, but let's leave any decisions until the summer.

agree Pete they've both been poor recently. Insists on resting players but somehow Disley is undroppable!

Absolutely spot on Grimsby Pete - doesn't make sense at all - full stop - said the same a few weeks ago - I'm sure we could have been 15 points better off with the same squad under sensible management

If you'd have offered me the league table as it stands now in July I would have bitten your hand off. If we're still in this division next year I will take being fourth and in charge of our own destiny with 3 games to go on 15th April 2015 right now.

He's brought us far more success than anyone else we've had this century. Consistent top 5 finishes and cup success are something some younger fans must never have experienced until PH came. And the fact that gates are up shows the paying public is getting what it wants - a team challenging for prizes at the end of the season.

I can't stand the boring bloke and his team is driving away fans. That was about as boring as it gets tonight. Off our seats once in 90 mins and that chance was created by a defensive lapse. I'm finding it harder and harder to drag myself to BP and most of my mates have stopped going altogether.

We can't replace him at this stage of the season. I said at the time Scott went, that we should have cut our losses and got rid of Hurst too, brought in Mills when he was available and given him the time to build a decent footballing side.

Too late now. We have to see this through and hope to god that we get in the play offs and perform better than of late, but to be honest, i can't see it.

Not exactly too difficult a feat to achieve considering, but I assume you find the fact that we are more than likely going to STILL be playing non league football next season a 'success' - whatever floats your boat.

Part time teams pay decent wages but have a small squad and a few injuries and it cripples them but do they rotate their team I very much doubt it. I understand resting players due to the number of games in a week is probably fair but its looking like we are the team everyone wants in the pkayoffs.
