Start of the season Mcatee was being subbed every game due to the cramping issue.  Like PH said in the interview they thought they had dealt with it.


Needs more salt on his chips.

Exactly right - pretty sure the top tennis players used to take in salt tablets on hot gruelling days at Wimbledon.

Never date a tennis player. Love means nothing to them.

Could imagine McAtee doing shots of sauerkraut slop.

Well - I think the cramp players will recover if they take notice of this thread.
Love or deuce

I've always been a fan of PH, he's a good manager. Like everyone he probably has his faults, bit stubborn (?), instinctively a bit defensive maybe, but he builds teams in the real meaning of the word
He has a great eye for a player, gets rid sharpish when he makes a mistake and gets rid of trouble causers double quick. For me he epitomises why managers should be given time even when the going gets tough. For a lower league club like ours with limited resources the cycle of sack/rebuild/repeat is fatally flawed
He has critics because it took 6 years to get out of this league last time but it's all about resources and support from the board. Not sure he had much of either from the previous regime.

Spot on. Always been a Hurst fan. I can understand the moans and groans about substitutions and stubbornness at times but for me he is incredibly unlucky to not be managing at a higher level. Was over the moon when we appointed him for a 2nd time and hope we stick with him. I think we will because I feel the owners see in him what most of us see.

He's very professional, feet firmly on the ground in most cases, and seriously knows how to pick a player, in terms of ability and attitude, not shying away when he's made a mistake and quickly correcting it. He clearly has respect from other people in the game, players and backroom staff. Unfortunately, the biggest danger to his job are his own fans that cant see past 3 or 4 bad results.

As you put so accurately, sack rebuild sack rebuild, particularly in the time frame we've been doing it, is fatally flawed for a club of our stature.

He has taken teams to 8 play off campaigns, with ourselves involved in 5 of them. Think 5 of those ended in a final with 3 promotions to his name.

That's an impressive record and given time, he will usually have his teams involved at the business end of the season.
