I respect your view and admire your enthusiasm so far . I really want to be told that I was wrong , but I've seen nothing different from last season . Bumbling along chopping changing , your right we could go and win but I just don't see it

Quoted from pontoonlew
It's obviously not a fully predictable but if we are treating games against teams with lesser players as a 'roll of the dice' then we might as well pack up and go home.

The way attitudes are sliding downhill quicker than a car with no brakes, I'd snap your hand off right now !  

Quoted from pontoonlew
Though saying that with some of Hursts recent decisions I'm tempted to say you never bloody know what's going to happen.

I'd say the exact opposite !

0-0 was predictable first game  (had it !)
0-0 hardly a suprise next time
1-1 ok give you that one...

Gateshead 0-0 ?
I'm having a fiver at least !

Bad luck aside, has anyone ever wondered why we're drawing so many 0-0 ?
And what the connection is between...

a manager put under too much (arguably unfair) pressure by it's fans almost like he's being attacked
and
an defensive "safety first" side out on the pitch

Go figure !

Quoted from MuddyWaters
I'm neither pro or anti Alan Buckley, but would he have bigged up Caine Winfarrah after Tuesday and then played a central midfielder in his place on Saturday? And then go one further and say in Monday's paper, 'I want another player to replace Aswad' undermining the lad's position further??

I thought Winfarrash should have started too (and he did well !)
But maybe Hurst was ALSO worried about that early cockup he made when Nuneaton nearly scored !?

Quoted from ackomariner
He's well out of his depth

How can he be out of his depth after successive playoff places ?

If the forum cheered up and stopped complaining, I'd be rushing to the bookies to place a bet on automatic promotion !

There's irony in there somewhere !

The problem is, if PH had gone a lot of the players would have followed and we would have had to rebuild from scratch again. That may not have been a bad thing but we have lacked continuity in the past and I suspect thats what was on the mind of the club board post season.

My backside hurts being sat on that fence.



and you know this because......

And yet (if we're performing just as we always have done according to some of those who have had enough of Hurst's style of football) we only had four 0-0 draws last season.

Two already this season (and almost a third the way it was heading against Dover) does seem a bit strange and yet another one at Gateshead might not be too bad a result

We are (at least) unbeaten in the league.  Woe betide us if had lost the first 3 games.

The 0-0 draws this season aren't too strange when you consider the injury problems amongst our attackers. Just a pity we haven't had 3 clean sheets as well.

Well I see your point !
Point is, would fans still be prepared to gracefully accept defeat applauding the effort if we took MORE risks going for 3 points ?
I'd love the answer to be "yes" but suspect it's still gonna be "no" regardless of what happens on the pitch.
I long for a day where the team can be appluaded for their effort irrespective of the final result.

Well first think Maringer has a good point.
And would add other injuries, near misses, 1 defensive mistake didn't help.

Personally I'm not sure what else we could have done to attack more at home on Saturday. (odd sub maybe)
I think the "defensive displays" are actually from the opposition who make like difficult for us at BP.
Dover came in a 3-5-2 and spent a fair bit of time defending. Nuneaton certainly "shut up shop"

I thought he was supposed to have been a handful.  


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Are you saying we would get promotion if we only posted positive messages?

If I even half-suspected that would work I'd be dropping smiley faces all over the place.
