It does my head in when we have these sort of discussions about he is a great signing or he is a positive signing.

We have these claims at the start of every season.

No one knows until the end of the season whether the singings have impoved the squad or not.

If we go up, great they have. If we are still in this shite league next season then no they haven't.

I'd say the signings are positive and not many people would argue against. The fact is you can sign all the players you like, it's what you're telling them to do out there on the pitch that matters. Hurst's tactics still smack of defense before attack to me, signing certain players doesn't particularly change that.

Though if he does utilize those players better, things can change quickly. Just from experience of Hurst, I don't trust that he will.

It'd help though if the players he's signed could actually play before you criticise how he deploys them defensively, wouldn't it?

To be honest, I don't want Hurst to go. BUT, the team we had last season would have gone up if we could actually score goals. We've replaced like for like in defence and midfield and kept the same ineffective strike force. This is a problem.

*Except for the signing of Pittman and possibly Arnold up front as well as (hopefully) the future arrival of another attacker or two.

eh up arry. I have seen him play in the past and have seen him play pre-season and he looks the business for me. however I agree, there are no guarantees that a signing will work out, only time will tell. I am looking forward to seeing him play and hoping he comes good. What else are we supposed to do? You sound a bit like my dear old mother used to be. I would call round to see her and say something like "fine day today mum" to which she would reply "yeh, but rain is on its way later" . Did my head in, bless her
