I don't think either player had played a full game for months.

We need players who can play full games from the off.

We have now played more games than any other side near the bottom, we cannot wait for players to get up to speed.


"Speed" our lot have just got out of the starting gate and that was using a whip.

I listened to Hurst's post match interview. By his tone - I think he realises he can't save us!

Morais looked up to speed straight away to be fair to him, he's possibly our best player at the moment.

I heard him too and he seemed very deflated to me. It didn't seem to be just the match but he was not that optimistic about players wanting to come. He did not give the impression that agents and players were ringing him up wanting to come.

I can’t believe the new consortium want GTFC in the conference again as they need the club to be a focal point of the regeneration project. A league place is imperative for that . They must be prepared to back Hurst on the pitch or he wouldn’t have come I’d imagine as it would be an impossible task with the squad The Clown put together.
As for the current players, I’d think most of them know their days are numbered and seem completely devoid of confidence and fight .
I’m looking forward to see who exactly hurst can convince to come but am surprisingly confident we’ll get out of this as we must have a pretty much new team to go at the second half of the season.

I don't think he has, but he doesn't look leggy in games to my eyes, players getting subbed off occurs for several  reasons.

We’re absolute dog shite and anyone who signs for us in January is either dog shite or desperate.

Happy to hear facts to the contrary.


Brainless or mercenary or both too?

Why don't we give up now then?

Are we 10 points adrift? No

Do we have an experienced management pairing who know the lower leagues? Yes

Are we in the process of a takeover which should provide finance for the short, medium and long term? Yes

Do we have 69 points to play for? Yes

Do we have 3/4 decent players approaching return from injury? Yes

Give them a f***ing chance. We might be facing the iceberg of the National League but Hurst and Doig WILL turn the ship before we hit it.

I'm an optimist like you and want the best for town but I can see very little to grasp at from your comments at the moment. The only positive is Hurst & Doig and going by PH demure on Humberside I think that they have now realised what the true situation with the players is. 1 point out of 15, 20 points out of 69 and unfortunately should, could, would etc is not cash. It is well meant but that is all those words mean.

Today was the chance the "players" had to show there worth and it is nothing. I didn't know we had any decent players in the squad.
I'm not knocking you and share your enthusiasm, I want to be wrong but somewhere reality has to kick in and today's match was it. Hurst sounded totally deflated on Humberside and reminded me of "What the hell have I taken on. O excrement"
