Time for a change now to save this season

Quoted from barralad

Quite witty but you could have highlighted the next bit which goes on to qualify his statement/question  

What you mean the bit where he says: "Or did you feel as you were giving money for a different reason?" which strongly suggested he was only asking people who donated.

Quoted from Caesar

No not at all! I wouldn't want it to be which is why I addedd that I was really interested in responses.  I put in money cos I trusted Hurst to use it well.  So for me it is too soon to change my mind.  Is really not meant to be a barrier to stop people criticising (fairly tbh) Hurst.  Sorry if it read that way!

Cheers for clarifying bud. I got confused by the bit which said "Or did you feel as you were giving money for a different reason?"

In answer to your question, I thought, "well maybe i was wrong, he's got closer to success this time and we just need an extra push." I'm glad I did chip in but I think my original conclusion that he won't get us promoted was probably right.

I think the guy seems to have an eye for a good player but he mucks up too often in team selection. He still seems to fear the opposition too much and tries to counter what they do when we have the wherewithal to f*ck most sides in this league right over, he puts square pegs in round holes when he doesn't need to, he has an idiosyncratic loyalty to some players but equally odd ability to drop players for minor dips in performance, he has a stubbornness about not having a substitute goalie, he persists with loanees who appear to bring no more than squad players already on the books.

Hurst in. If certain people had of had their way during our lowest point last season I'm pretty sure we wouldn't have been one penalty kick away from the Football League.

Quoted from oldun

I am not in favour of a knee jerk reaction. Paul has brought some talented players into the squad and they have shown they are capable of playing attractive football. At the present time the goalkeeper is a worry and that needs to be addressed. I am also beginning to feel that we need more of a physical presence in the midfield, someone who can dominate proceedings. We just have never had this in the past few seasons. Ball players are fine but you need a mix in the team and a driving force in the engine room would add that extra steel.

Knee jerk reaction? Come oooooonn! How long's the guy had? If that's a knee jerk reaction your leg probably hasn't twitched in response to that tap with the patella hammer you got five years ago.

Or we might not needed to have gone to the play offs in the first case.

We lost rik, that day at Wembley was failure not success

Maybe a new guy would have taken us up. It's all conjecture. My view is that if Hurst had got a striker in sooner, the league was there for the taking. Barnet weren't that good.

I see the cretins have crawled out from under their rocks, people who rarely attend and perversely seem to long for a poor run of results in order to force change. To those who go regularly this isn't pointed at you and your opinion whatever it may be is ten times more valid.

I missed today because of work and Altrincham so perhaps minutely skewiffed view but I'm happy to stick rather than twist based on the rest of the matches played that I have witnessed.

Not a huge Hurst fan and it may well be he isn't the man to take us to the title but I don't think you can totally put the blame on him for today.

The changes were understandable given we played in a local derby on 2 days previously with 10 men in quite high temperatures. That is going to take it out of the players so it is only natural to freshen it up a little.

The changes were fairly sensible unlike the Torquay game and seemed to work fine in the first half. We probably should have scored and seemed in control of the game. Their goal came largely against the run of play IMO and was down to a keeper error, again. Apart from getting another keeper in there is not a lot the manager can do about that. Again, in the second half we started well and created a couple of chances but were hit with another goal against the run of play. That goal was poor and could have been defended better but you naturally take more risks when hunting an equaliser.

I don't think today was a day to blame the manager unlike the Torquay game were I thought he did mess up.

Maybe of course ginny, we'll never know, but one penno kick is pretty darn close and we were the best team on the day. Hurst could easily have gone down in folklore but hey its all ifs, buts and maybes but that's football.

Whoever it is I tend to lean towards stability and trying to be positive but that's just me.
