Stick With Paul Hurst

I disagree with all this "sack Hurst" nonsense. It proves that some fans want instant success, which in this league on a shoestring budget is unrealistic. I am fully aware of the current results, but blame the players not the manager. What can he do about people being injured?

Lennel John-Lewis is a temperamental striking solution, missing from six yards out, to being the 'Pirlo-of-play'. But strikers (good strikers) are hard to come by at this level, and with so many players out, we need to back the manager and back the players to make the best out of the situation.

We will have a better idea of how this season will pan out nearer Christmas, but those who want Hurst out, need not bother watching Town, as it is going to be turbulent up until players return.

I think Paul has done a good job, since joining us and if we were to sack him, and bring in another manager, could they really do as good? I understand that the last three games have been disappointing, but look at pre-season, when all the squad was fit. That is the squad Hurst has developed, that is what, I believe, to be the strongest Town squad in years, and quite possibly one of the league's strongest squads this season.
