Was it Hursts fault that they scored in under 2 mins from OUR poor corner?
Not at all Lee! But he should of made changes sooner than he did, Even Tondeur and Buckley said this.

This seasons a right off for me already but there is no point in sacking him now, bring in the new man for the last month of the season to evaluate the team.

I wouldn't say sat 2nd in the league is a right off, a couple of good additions in January and we should be strong contenders, For me we need an out and out striker, easier said than done though i suppose.

How come Luton walked this league last season and every other team that has got promoted?
Luton are a much bigger club than us with a much bigger budget and lost 5 times last season. Cambridge a comparable club to us lost 10. We have lost 5 so far and are half way through the season almost, So we are on a par with Cambridge. We are second/third, we're on target for a decent season and we're ahead of all the other clubs who have a bigger budget than us. It's not the time for existential debates!.

Are Luton a 'much bigger' club than us? Really? Bigger sure. Their ambition, single-mindedness and investment is much bigger than us and that's the key.

Sorry, but yes. They averaged over 6000 every year they were in the Conference. They were founder members of the Premier League, we've never been within spitting distance of it. They probably had twice as big a wage bill than us all the years we were in it together.

Fair enough, I don't disagree, but that doesn't make them 'much bigger' than us.

Well I know that last comment to be untrue based on last year. Yes they are bigger than us, but wow - 6000 at home average! That makes them 'much bigger'!?! Nottingham Forest are much bigger than us. Sheffield Utd, Bolton Wanderers. There's not that much between us and Luton. They just think bigger. They set their stall out. Luton showed single minded determination to win promotion and, by the time they pulled it off, had no tolerance whatsoever for second best, substandard or mediocre. You delivered the goods, or you were gone. I'm not splitting this hair any more.

Yeah I maybe sounds a bit over the top but just based on recent performances 2nd in the league feels wrong, And I just can't see the team getting a grip of the inconsistency, I've watched them enough now to see that there's there's something missing, because we look a good team on paper more than capable of running away with the title, but it's just not happening we don't dominate teams like serious champions should, we looked like the part timers at times today and hurst has to shoulder most of the blame. Sorry Chris but I've resigned myself to another season of non league mediocrity next year I'm afraid, sorry for the pessimistic view but I had more enjoyment at my mothers funeral than watching today's performance excrement I hope a feel better than this in the morning Anyway I hope I'm wrong I want to see them go up just for your sake you deserve it pal you've been the most positive poster on here since it started, you must have more patience than Joseph of Nazareth.
