Just to clarify,  if we don't beat Aldershot do they take some of the 6 points won over the weekend off us?

Perhaps Hurst has always wanted to play this way but has never had the right personnel 'til now. All the pieces have fallen into place maybe? We didn't have enough pace to play a high pressing game last season

IMO as someone said on another thread, it was probably his plan all along to play pressing football this season judging by the pacy/mobile midfielders and attackers he brought in (Clay, Brown, Arnold, Mackreth etc), it's just that it's only just happened because the players he brought in to do this were injured.

Guess you've heard of the term "dropped points" ?

Indeed, was noticing myself it was most flurry of green ticks for everyone.
Not too regularly I agree with ginny, Codger. lew etc either and I'm often Mr red cross man myself.

So fact we can reach agreement is another positive too.
Perhaps we're close to something very good here...

Quoted from pontoonlew
I think he just did what many of us were crying out for, an entertaining brand of football. Not only does that draw in the crowds, it wins games if you've got the players to do it which we have. I know people were happy with 1-0 wins but at some point as we saw all too often, you come unstuck. We can still have that gritty performance in our locker but it looks like we've finally decided to play our way and not somebody elses.

Whether or not that was always the plan or he sort of forced it upon himself we'll probably never know. But the fact is that it's worked wonders the last two games and has boosted the confidence of every single person at the club.


Do you think PH has never set out to play entertaining and attacking football? It's a hard thing to do, it's something that you have to get right and have the correct personnel for, it's not necessarily a choice.

PH got has given us our best defence for years and has clearly wanted to improve our attacking options, he has made key signings with pace and now they're fit we are seeing more attacking football. You've been endless in your criticism of Hurst's tactics and his selection of the Shop, I think it's pretty amusing that LJL was the pivotal player in our fantastic attacking play over the weekend, so I am pretty chuffed he didn't do what you were crying out for and stuck to his guns.

One more good point is,

Old Codger is smiling again,

Steady on Pete. One great weekend can't and won't put the club back where it needs to be   but it's a positive leap from where we were 10 days ago. We need to be back in the league and we need a new stadium and the best chance to deliver both is by delivering on the pitch.

I'm not going to be practising my somersaults just yet
