Time for this Clown to go

I know - this is what I hope he's thinking but I just wonder when he will eventually rotate the central midfield (apart from red cards forcing the issue)

Quoted from barralad

Well we certainly weren't inferior for the first half. The effort was there as usual. The tactic after they'd scored was to hoof it up as quickly as possible-making sure we found their centre half..

Well you saw a different game to me  and the majority of those round me  ,( upper Osmond end) I thought we looked like a team with an already beaten " .

mentality, the only time they got me out my seat in the first half was the tonks 1v1

But it may be as good a first half we've seen for a while cos none have been exactly inspiring

Different game to me too. I was also at the Osmond end of the Upper and also only out of my seat once in 90 mins. We were dreadful from start to finish i thought and Cook was particularly poor. His first touch is horrendous and the ball just didn't stick all night.

For me only decent players were our two centre halves who coped admirably with their backing in and no support from the ref. as for the rest of it i accept Halifax created very little but they looked sharper, picked up every loose ball, won every physical challenge and every header that counted. We have no structure to our attacking play, no pace and a midfield incapable of creativity.

Like all town fans I hope we go up but The season is over for me after yet another dire home performance with absolutely no entertainment value all night. If PH stays I know three season ticket holders who will not renew and everyone around us in the Upper Findus wants him gone. And no we did not boo or slag off the team although I am sure we all groaned at our inability to trap a ball or pass it five yards.

Hurst demonstrates that he learns nothing from game to game and to persist for the majority of the game with Kerr and Disley is managerial suicide.

I agree we have been very frustrating and disappointing recently although to play devil's advocate, negative teams aren't unsuccessful in knockout situations (such as the play offs). Mourinho's made a career out of it, Newport didn't exactly play beautiful, flowing football last season. Add to that the fact we've done quite well in the cup competitions this year - if we do make it to the play offs hope is not lost yet! Over a season it certainly can be dull, but it tight affairs such as the play offs, parking the bus may be what we need to do.

Quoted from GrimRob

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.

Success - It seems to me that the demise of our club revolves around this word. To you, a lot of others on here and to the most senior people at the club success means almost getting there is good enough.
Success to myself and most Town fans is to actually get promotion or win a trophy.

"more success than anyone else we've had this century"-We are still in the same league we havent been premoted so where is the success?
"cup success" - yes we have had one or two good games but we have not won a Trophy so where is the success?
"a team challenging for prizes at the end of the season" - That worked well last year. Where is the success in this?
"gates are up" - stop quoting % and give actual numbers of bums on seats. In the 2005/6 we were never out of a playoff position and only put on around 200 more fans than the previous season. My guess is that if we had played attractive football instead of the boring sh1t that was on offer at the time there would have been a much bigger increase. The very same can be said of this season.
If your definition of success is what we have now and have had for the past few years then good on you but its not mine.

  

Quoted from grimps

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

Sorry mate its to late now. He should have gone in January.
Never mind he will be gone in the next few weeks. Fenty can then put his vast footballing brain into finding the next failure.

In Paul Hursts mind, fans turn up to see the scoreboard at the end of the game. He doesn't give a damn about entertainment so long as we grind out wins and play his way.

The problem is, his methods are not going to win you play-offs because he's got one way of playing. He's got absolutely no plan B and better sides pick us apart EVERY single time. We are so one dimensional it's untrue and I've never seen a team rotated so often and actually achieve success. Then every now and then he'll have the nerve to have a pop at fans, the fans who buy into this excrement football he produces in the hope that one day we might actually go up. I think none of us care if we went up playing badly, the fact is we don't have it in our locker to do it against the best sides. This means we get the excrement football without the success at the end of it and that is why he'll lose his job in about a months time.

Quoted from davmariner

I agree about Mills, said at the time we'd missed an opportunity when he went to Gateshead. Could we prize him away from the Heed in the summer? Depends how ambitious Mr Fenty is.

Gateshead had ONE effort on goal last night, not on target, but one effort!

Be very careful what you wish for.  The next man will be "clueless", " tactical moron" or "Fentys love child" within 3 months, guaranteed!

Spot on there Chris. Fenty does have the knack of employing
Clueless tactical morons.
