Match thread

Quoted from MeanwoodMariner

But he did go with his best 11 given the circumstances, that's the point!!! You can by all means disagree with what the best XI is, but it's not fair to imply he took the foot off the gas or deliberately played a weakened team.

Would the same 11 from Tuesday night have won tonight? We'll never know but I'm guessing the phrase "they look leggy" would have been used a lot. And then what? Play them all again on Saturday?

Fair enough. I can see your viewpoint and if we win our next 2 games, then all will be forgotten. I just feel we sent out the wrong message tonight and have given other teams a bit of a lift seeing us lose at Dartford.

Strangely, tonight's result could focus the team more on getting the job done in the next 2 games.

Quoted from buckstown

Some people just want to be unhappy. PH has taken us to our best position in five years and we have to have faith in him. Instead all he gets is grief from people who think they know better.
I'm not a knobhead, Im mildly intelligent, held reasonable jobs etc. but do believe we should be positive and supportive. Of course we're all entitled to our opinions but please be positive

I think its not people being unhappy its people seeing bizarre decisions like tonight and have the right to voice their opinion that 10 changes is too much..

He has a history of doing silly things when it comes to team selection..

The fans wether to accept losing away at dartford or the ones not happy have an equal right to say what they think but one things for sure I wont ever accept being happy to lose at dartford, why because we are grimsby town

We should never be happy losing at places like that,  some might say thats arrogance but I dont see it that way I see it as not being happy as a fan of a club with a big budget in this league and the players we have.

As for being positive its the decisions hurst makes which sucks it all out of you after you just regain a little bit of positivity..

He has this knack of alienating fans and doing his best to really make you wonder why some people like myself still wonder what is he thinking sometimes.

I'm really annoyed, maybe I shouldn't be posting when I'm in this mood but if we do reach the playoffs, I can't see him taking us up. Absolutely ridiculous decision to play a reserve side tonight. We should've got the three points, one at best, played a weaker side at home against a struggling Chester on Saturday keeping fresher legs for the more difficult game against Halifax the following Tuesday.

Am I mad or does this make sense? I just don't get him!!

Neither do I sometimes.   I so want him to succeed and has done so well until the past few months.   Im trying not to make any more ill judged angry posts so I apologise if any of my posts are totally b0llocks lol.

A big clue is Woking - 0-3 - top team until the last 2 games in the last 3 days. They did not have the resource to change their team.

My main gripe wasn't the starting XI but the inexperienced bench.

Top post Jonnyboy.

Just as I was posting that, there was a bloke on RH making exactly the same point.

He could at least have had 3 or 4 of the players he "rested" on the bench.

Or Woking aren't as good as Hurst made them out to be.

Quoted from Teestogreen

I'm amazed that people think PH should have made his previously selected outfield players for the Kidderminster and Woking games travel to play at Dartford. I think that he had a duty to protect these players under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, in terms of likely injuries that these players could sustain with such a concentrated programme of games. Blame the Conference League organisers for a ridiculous timescale of games i.m.o.

Is this post real life or am I on acid? Health and safety at work act?! What?!

Prehaps the clue in that is that we should've been beating Woking at home and it could show that Cambridge are miles ahead of us going into the PO.
