Hurst just said we could go 'more direct ' I hope he's bluffing with that !

Hurst just said we could go 'more direct ' I hope he's bluffing with that !

i think the only way possible to do that having watched the last 30 mins would be to shoot direct from kick off !!

They can afford to play exactly the same again on sunday they don't need to come out and attack we have too score twice and having gone 4 and a half hours without scoring, I won't bet my house on us doing it on sunday

This club has absolutely nothing to loose, so Mr Fenty , board meeting in morning and sack Hurst, appoint Doig till after the trophy final, and ffs just go out and play

Midfield crap as usual,tactics ?  crap, substitutions crap, no motivation on or off the pitch.  Do Town want promotion ?  What a stupid question----------or is it ?  It makes me wonder.  Every game is the same and it hasn,t worked for a very long time.      That  Nth.  Ferriby  manager has been linked with the Lincoln job,  he,s had more success than ours ---we couldn,t  do any worse !    The only good thing tonight achieved was to make it 100% the need for a new manager.  But I,ll bet my cotton socks that he,ll still be here come August.

No suprises tonight. Same old stuff in every way. Everybody knows whats going to happen including Braintree.
Last year we were lions. LJL was immense - never have I seen such a energetic performance. 100% effort, he gave it everything. The whole team did.
This year, the players just don't want to know. To be fair, some just aren't good enough
The fans have been a great this year and deserve a lot more than the current regime are giving them. Big changes are due
PH is right though. Its only half time. Fingers crossed they turn up and give it their all.
Could be their last 90mins in a Town shirt/rain jacket

We could be more fast and direct down the wings - how many wingers has Hurst tried this season?  Mackreth, Marshall, Jennings, Stewart and Arnold - and we end up with Danny East on the pitch.  I only saw Arnold really sprint once tonight - and he is dangerous when he does that.  What has Hurst done to Arnold and all the other failed wingers?

[quote=1291]We need 2 energic midfielders in my eyes.  Disley has been class for us in recent times but for me didn't offer anything from midfield it was like watching nolan do it all.  Time for him to make way i reckon.  We need to start attacking from midfield we need runners there was nothing but static slow moping around.  Absolute abject performance.

I agree - Dis anonymous i. m. o  He was given a rest against Tranmere but you couldn't tell. Didn't see him do anything good in the televised game and as you say - Nolan doing the good work but falling short sometimes due to lack of support.

Having said this - Braintree are the best organised side and (after listening to their manager tonight - who is total class) expect them to finish the job off against us. We should be trying to get him for us next season, before his stock goes up to much.

Quoted from Bigboy

We can still do it on Sunday.  We are now the underdogs with nothing to lose - no longer any pressure.  The trouble is will PH let them go out throw caution to the winds and have a real go?  I don't think he's got it in him.  I'd sack him in the morning and give Doig a crack - a desperate gamble is needed.

  They are a pair,  I,d sack both of them,  and wouldn,t wait until the morning.  They could be in the queue for the Veggy Green job by 9 -0-clock  .  If they wanted to go earlier I,d give them a lift

Well I expressed an opinion that it is pointless to keep having McKeown punt EVERY SINGLE GOAL KICK to Monkhouse, only for him to head the ball to an opposition player and someone in the crowd turned round and said "I haven't missed you flipping moaning".
Well sorry for having an opinion that is completely correct. If you think that is the way to win a football match then you are just as clueless as our wet blanket, uninspiring, stubborn and DEFINATELY useless manager.
Are you by any chance the same guy that said how amazing Mike Newell was a few years back when I called for his head? He was sacked a couple of weeks later after a meltdown on Radio Humberside!
That's almost 300 minutes without being able to score against a part time football team. Our manager thinks he will keep the same tactics for the next match and a chance will come... But he wouldn't put his mortgage on it, oh but we are spoilt aren't we. Oh yes I am feeling so spoilt after tonight's match. Hurst you are a turd in a tracksuit! Clear off!
BYE BYE Hurst !
And a warm welcome to whoever takes the helm next season.
