..for me, from Paul Hurst's post-match interview was not the 'fans are spoilt' comment.

When I listened last night (a tad inebriated), I will admit I was fairly irate at the spoilt comment. He comes across at best, saying something so openly condescending about fans of this club that independent observers would agree are amongst the best in the country (pound for pound) as an arrogant, perhaps a tad narcissistic (his lack of ability to ever acknowledge he's culpable for anything; being the prime case for the prosecution of that claim), man.

Even then, though - the worst, most blood boiling thing that I heard - twice, several minutes apart - was something entirely different and I'm surprised that I don't think I've seen it mentioned in any of the threads concerning his questionable interview.

He stated, "...the most important thing from today is not losing". Followed, minutes later, by "...the important thing was getting something from the game". I was under the influence when I listened and I fear for my Sunday if I were to re-listen so I apologise if a word or two of the direct quotes are jumbled/misplaced.

Paul Hurst. FFS. Please. Not losing is NOT the most important thing. Will you ever, ever, ever comprehend this fact?

It is true at the start of the season. It is true in the middle of the season. It is true towards the end of the season.

It is certainly only more blinking true when you are 10+ points adrift of the position you aspire to; at home to a team in the relegation zone.

Get a grip and stop telling me that you are happy "getting something" from the game. You shouldn't be and this is why I have always doubted your capabilities as a manager.

The "spoilt" comment was certainly condescending but could have been meant slightly less incendiarily (not a word), than it has been taken. Never admitting blame for anything you unleash onto the field is the arrrogance/narcissism thing I've already dissected.

The incessant happiness with not losing is just the over-arching, unflinching, never-swaying sign of someone born not to win.

I want Town to have a winner at the helm, I believe we need it.

I've listened to it again and clearly hurst as got to big for his boots otherwise he wouldn't have said such a thing. Finishing in the playoffs and getting beat by those massive clubs Gateshead/ Newport not so much Bristol should not be regarded as success or being spoilt,Luton had similar play off failures and didn't think it was success just to be there they rolled the dice until they got it right.even if we get promoted through the play offs which is a big if I think hursts time here is up

Luton had the biggest budget in the league every season they were in it, barring maybe Fleetwood.

Perhaps somebody should whisper in Hurst's ear that we get 3 points for a win these days. A draw is no longer a point gained and it hasn't been since 1981, it's two points lost.

It certainly is at home to a relegation threatened team. To say it was important not to lose and that it was a point gained is absurd.

Just looking at the tables and both Town and Bore 'em have the most draws of any team - 11 each

In some ways I guess a draw was on the cards given those stats but we all know there was only one team who should be happy with a share of the points yesterday and it won't be Town

Year after year we come up against teams like them who you could argue deserve to get something for their resilience.

But why do we try and fail to get past such teams all the time? Wins and the three points they bring us are what we need, not self-congratulations at coming off undefeated but with only one point to the good

Boring bollox from Hurst, but clearly doing an "adequate enough" job to keep him employed. Fentys former trigger happy finger has not been itchy for some time, but surely he must have some sense of anger about the number of draws we've had against pub teams this season.

I'm sure he will pm later regarding this matter
