Our run in

I've been pretty negative about everything for a large part of the season but I still hold out a level of hope. This weekend we have two tough games, but if we pick up 4 points from those then we're absolutely in it given the fact Colchester and Barrow still have to play each other, somebody is going to drop points. Even if we drew both games, I think we'd be less than 6 points away from either of those teams by Monday evening.

That being said, if we lose both games then our fate is well and truly sealed and my iFollow money will be saved  

The question is will the fan base hold up Hursts teams are hardly an entertaining watch.
I don’t think i could bare us holding on for a 1-1 draw with King Lynn.
And then being told it was a good point.

FFS - let's finish giving him a hard time for this season before we start hammering him for imaginary situations next season.

To be fair, last couple of games he has "gone for it", and most people pre-match have agreed with the line ups (me included) but sadly the players at our disposal (and not faulting their efforts) just don't seem to have that ability to "change" a game with a flash of quality out of nowhere (a Mendonca type of moment, yes I know that was at a different level altogether   )

You forgot to mention that the players at his disposal are the ones Hurst brought in!

That said he will be the manager at the start of next season, like it or not, so we have no option but to get behind him.

What about "A Connell moment" though. Admittedly that was against poorer oppostion but there were many times I can remember when he'd just pull a goal out of nowhere.

The players he brought in within the constraints of the budget and who were prepared to sign for a club in absolute  freefall.

Most on this forum more or less agreed that the players Hurst brought in are no better than what we had, Eastwood and Mayenese being the exceptions. Many posts ago it was suggested that Hurst was in a win, win position. If we go down it's not his fault and if we stay up he's a hero.

I was replying to a post about the lack of quality of the team. Can you name the players, as you suggest, "were prepared to sign for a club in absolute freefall"?. I like hundreds on here contribute to player's wages through ifollow. You are suggesting they have come for wages etc. and not the benefit of the club.

If this is the case then Hurst should kick them out NOW.

Quoted from ginnywings

The board that took us down last time, totally failed to address the problems that caused our last relegation, even when it nearly happened again and we escaped by the skin of our teeth. A terrible era in the clubs history is going to end as expected, with more failure.

We could be stuck down there for years.

The astonishing thing is just how many times they have either taken us down, or narrowly avoided it.  In 2009 we survived because Luton had a massive points deduction. Otherwise we were down. The board learnt nothing from that and we were relegated the following season.

Now here we are again, having survived in 2018 with a late Jolley inspired miracle, we are going down in 2021. So in out last 7 seasons in L2 we have been at risk of relegation 4 times. What on earth are the people running this club doing? It is shameful.

I can not wait to see the back of them. I hope none of them have the cheek to ever show their faces at BP again. Watching a successful Grimsby Town team is something they do not deserve to enjoy.
