I wonder how much longer, realistically, the owners will leave it before saying enough is enough.
The fans will be very vocal at matches and also on social media.
Surely they can't just turn their backs on what's happening and say everything is OK. The blinkers need taking off.
They need to be pre-booking a table at Ernie Becketts for the ensuing interviews tout suite.
There is nobody in-house who could possibly take over, so we need someone with a new outlook with tons of positivity.

5800 fans there today was incredible (particularly considering the awful form of the past 3 months) and it will be such a shame to lose this  won back support by doing nothing to address the situation, we all know that changing the management team would not automatically turn things round, but gates will drop and drop fast should this  slump continue.
I honestly feel that this management team have now had a fair crack at it and we are deteriorating, not improving.
Its almost certain  we are going nowhere this season now, so give a new manager the rest of this season under no pressure to establish a playing identity, because we sure as hell dont have one at the moment.
Having a forward thinking business model is all well and good, but performances and results are. what keeps bums on seats

Enough is enough....I've lost all support for Hurst, tactically inept and I'm sick to my back teeth of being sat in the pontoon watching and waiting for a substitution/s to happen that will change the game that never come...
Think the majority of the fan base is now slowly turning against him, which I get, but who's out there?..genuine question let's have some names we could constructively discuss...

Stupid argument. It’s not our job to identify managers who would be an improvement, most of us haven’t got the time to keep tabs on the literally hundreds of clubs and coaches/managers in English football

. And if you’re suggesting that there isn’t anybody out there available to us who could do a better job than 2 wins in 14 in non league then we may as well give up now.

We were talking about the quality of the squad on the way back. Realistically how many of them are good enough to be part of a promotion winning team? McAtee definitely. Maguire-Drew too.

After that we’re bang average.

I can take a season of nothingness if I can see something getting built. Slade I season 1 was an example of that.

I can’t honestly see what Hurst is building.

The team that ultimately got promoted last time; McKeown; Tait, Nsiala, Gowing, Robertson; Arnold, Disley, Clay, Nolan; Bogle, Amond. I don’t think anybody in our current squad would get into that team. McAtee maybe. And that wasn’t a team that won promotion in style. They got promoted with the lowest points total to ever get into the EFL.

Hurst built a whole new team last January. We built a whole new team last summer. And he’s signed 5 already this winter if you include Maguire-Drew and is talking about another 3 coming in. It’s getting on for a complete rebuild again. How many times do we allow him to try and build a good enough team.

Our form is terrible and our next 3 games are tough- Wrexham (away), Boreham Wood (home) & Notts County (away). Whether you still back Hurst or not, I don’t think anyone can honestly say if we sacked him now it would be harsh.

This morning I was 60:40 in favour of Hurst. I’m probably 50:50 now. If we sacked him tomorrow I would be fine with it.

To name one is a tough question, do we go tried and tested or try an up and coming manager with a good record?...
I'll put a name out there but know I'll git shot down...Curtis Woodhouse, did wonders with Gainsborough and apparently had them playing attractive, attacking football....it's just a name to get the ball rolling..
