Match Thread

Quoted from mariner91

I can see the logic but we're rapidly running out of games to bridge the gulf and today, against a limited team with little to play for in front of lots of Town fans, was a great chance that we've blown. If we'd won today we'd have gone to Cheltenham on Friday with them shitting themselves!

Quoted from Nelly GTFC

Marcus Bignot - Solihull Moors, currently 12 points advantage at the top of the National North, although played two games more.  Maybe he can get Bogle firing like he did the last few seasons.

I would of said John McDermott at Harrogate, but they have LLDDL their last 5 games, so might not achieve the playoffs yet.

I know mate. I meant to say that statistically we are in with roughly the same chance of the title (albeit a further point behind FGR),  not actually. We won't win the title I don't think, regardless of the teasing, numerical scope.
The thing that's especially galling is that this looks like the year when chance after chance to make a claim on top spot has presented itself. This hasn't really happened to us before. Unfortunately we have squandered opportunity after opportunity, and usually against 'nothing' teams. That has.

Hurst hasn't got it in him to take is to that level, and neither have most of the players, evidently.

If only it was the fans that won promotion eh.....

Did Hurst do a post match interview?

Not heard it if he has. My worry is that if Amond's goalscoring dries up then we're finished because we have no other threat really. He's a brilliant striker but I'd be very surprised if he can keep going at the rate he has been doing since November which is extremely troubling for our play off hopes.

Would you not want someone who has achieved success at our level or above. Hurst and Scott had a good record at a lower level.

I would love Macca as Manager but is he not assistant at Harrogate? Massive gamble that. John Still would have done it for me but he as a southerner would not move North and would be massively unpopular as soon as we had a poor result.

[/quote]If we can get someone decent that is available yes.  I've said it before, no offense to them, but the Town board will never take the opportunity to grab a decent manager if one was available, it's just the way it is.  We could of had Micky Mellon a couple of seasons ago when he left as assistant of Barnsley December 2013, ends up at Shrewsbury at the end of 2013/14, gets them promoted and even though they're 17th in league one, they haven't lost a match in 9 games.

Hurst just does enough in our league to keep him in his job in the eyes of the Town board, we have had a fairly easy ride to the FA Trophy final, it's a total Mickey Mouse cup, it's not a massive achievement and if we don't win promotion, it will just be a glory day out for 12,000 people who can't be bothered to turn up at Blundell Park week in, week out.
