Quoted from LH
felicitations sakes. Half this board have been saying we won't win the league since August and the very same people are now slating Hurst for saying it in April. What do you want him to say?


I want him to say we're going to keep trying to win automatic promotion until it's mathematically impossible. I don't want him to entertain thoughts of settling for second best.

...but he's being realistic? Why doesn't he just say we're going to bid for Messi in the summer?

Because winning tonight, winning our games in hand and then gaining 2 more points than FGR and Cheltenham over the rest of the season is significantly more likely than us signing the best footballer in the World.

Of course the odds aren't in our favour for automatic promotion, but it's certainly not impossible at this stage and as such he shouldn't be saying we can't do it. It's so pessimistic.

PH is absolutely right.

We are unlikely to win the league, so say so.Why put pressure on himself and team?

What he tells his players will be different.

What LH said, for Christ's sake.



Also, maybe he's just playing it down to take the pressure off. We all know this is must win.

He doesn't have to say "YEAH WE'RE GOING TO WIN THE LEAGUE", he just needs to go "it's unlikely, but we'll keep trying until it's impossible". Telling everyone publicly he doesn't think we'll win the league is so uninspiring.
