Seen a couple of comments I would take issue with:

1) "Hurst has stopped the rot."

Really? His record is 1 win in 12, what would we consider a rot if this isn't one. Statistically,  he's made the rot worse.

2) "Hurst's signings have improved us."

If his signings have improved us why is our form worse than it was with Holloway and his squad?

I think I've really started to enjoy watching town games now I've accepted going down as a most likely reality. As with most things that have been gone from the club for a while they become better with time, Holloway seems to be becoming that. People are comparing records but Holloway was with us until January basically.

In the last 15 games it was W3 D2 L10. This was already a club with a losing mentality in the building. The stats are about the same as what Hurst managed tbh and you can't change a losing mentality easily. In the last 9 games before Hurst joined we won only 1 game. We drew 2 and lost the rest. The main difference is how many goals were scored which probably says more about Hurst's defensive mentality and some of the lazy mercenaries we settled for to replace lower league signings than anything else. It's all a bit the same as the squad Neil Woods threw together to phase out some of the more toxic squad members. Lots of people with nothing to gain beyond a payday at the club, managed to start conceding less but didn't score any either and ended up with lots of draws.

In anything I'm mainly focused on us getting the takeover finished and getting rid of a boardroom that had nothing but contempt for the fanbase and were more focused on politics and their own interests than that of the club. Fenty rubbing shoulders with Boris and Farage and having Boris run around in a GTFC hat was embarrassing.

1) "Hurst has stopped the rot."

Think people, including me, have noticed we aren't as leaky as we were and aren't thinking "that's another" every time the opponent attacks..
By no means do I think he's improved us per se, actually attacking wise he's taken us backwards and there in lies the problem, we just can't score and that's not changed at all..

Bradford, Burton and Barnsley have all started winning games frequently after appointing new managers (after being in big trouble beforehand).

Not doing Barrow much harm either at the moment.

Perhaps it only works for teams beginning with a B?
