Okay sure the down arrow is perhaps a little harsh. Have amended my arrow giving out to some uppies :) I'll go with the statement - good half time to hold up hands. However, bizarre team selection straight off the bat that! ( Learn something new every day, I didn't realise you could both up / down arrow a post... ) [Post edited 20 Sep 2018 20:07]

Although he could have scrapped that system after 20 minutes or less, although Brentford had not scored at that point, because it was more than obvious by then that it was not working. Although Brentford were not missing clear cut chances as such they looked several classes above us with us playing that system and I do not think it would have been an injustice if they had been four goals ahead at half time and the game as good as over. Credit for changing it at half time but he should have changed it long before then even if it meant subbing someone half way through the first half. | | | |

Hats off to you. but most people were telling him to play two up top for a couple of weeks and when he does, people moan about it. he goes back to one up top in the second half and we looked so much better | | | |

All this euphoria about 45 minutes of football and PH being a tactical genius is all well and good. However, my question is, why is it acceptable this season for our GK to bang it long every time we have a goal kick or he has it in his hands (I think many refer to it as hoofball). Previously, this style has been condemned by the fans but it appears acceptable for this so called new era. Before anyone disagrees, I was there on Tuesday and witnessed it for my own eyes. | | | |

very true, however maybe he felt he couldn't get his new instructions across whilst game was in play so waited, I've no idea, just guess work. maybe it was all a big plan to confuse Brentford then surprise them in the second half..... again, guess work. proper game of two halves. and I walked away thinking it was a decent game. | |

Fantastic management by Paul Hurst at half time v Brentford on 09:12 - Sep 21 with 3744 views | Town_Blue17 | Fair play to him for changing it up at half time although one would argue the fact that such drastic changes to a team like ours, who are bottom of the league, shouldn't really be done at this point in the first place. To be fair to the bloke though at least he was able to adapt and change when it was going bad which is something MM wouldn't never have been able to do. | | | |

We changed up plenty of times under Mick at half time, or even earlier - it was one of Mick's strengths to make in game tweaks. Difference is for some Hurst is a genius for changing it at Half Time whereas Mick would have been an idiot for getting it wrong at the start. | |

Then we would have had an outcry on here about how much Hurst was damaging players confidence by subbing them so early on! | |

Starting with the same team seems the logical answer. It was the best we've played under Hurst, however, and whilst we hit the bar before scoring, we do have to thanks Gerks for a couple of saves in the second half and our own woodwork to salvage that point. | |

Agree. I mean, had Hurst not got it so horribly wrong in the first half there wouldn't be the need for obvious change at half time (which the fans seemed able to call so I don't think it was genius). You still have to credit the decision to change but it's not genius, it's not fantastic management. It's basic management in trying to correct a huge cock up. And we're only giving him that credit because Brentford's finishing was amiss + Gerken played well. | | | |

We can also point to Jackson missing a good chance near the end and also hitting the bar.... | |

I agree that making substitutions for tactical reasons during the first half is a pretty drastic measure but by waiting until half time I think Hurst was very lucky that we were still in the game and not three or four goals behind. It would have been demoralising for anyone taken off although it would have been because the system was totally not working and not necessarily because there personal performance was so bad. | | | |
Fantastic management by Paul Hurst at half time v Brentford on 12:09 - Sep 21 with 3571 views | mathiemagic | Could not agree more. Obviously he thought the starting formation was the right one, clearly it then was not so he changed it immediately at half time. Great decision. If that had been MM for instance then the change would not have been made until much later and by then Brentford, on the first half showing, would have been home and hosed. | |

Indeed but you have to expect that against a good side like Brentford. | |

I remember at Loftus Road when MM brought Taylor on as a 65th minute sub and then subbed him again innocuously 10 - 15 mins later. That has to be the most damning statement i've ever seen! | |
