Now is the time for cool and calm reflection 21:09 - Oct 20 with 4507 viewsoldollie

It always hurts after a humiliating home defeat that leaves you bottom of the league but now is not the time to be making rash decisions about the future of Hurst

I was a Mick remainer at the end of last season and got slaughtered for having that view. Hind sight is a wonderful thing but Mick would not be at the bottom of the league

Everyone needs to relax, let Hurst sort out the current issues, give him the January transfer window and all will be fine

Or to put it more bluntly, grow a pair

It's not like we've suddenly arrived at the bottom of the division through one unfortunate game. We've been bumping along in the relegation zone for some time now.

Even when there is a hint that Hurst might be able to sort things out (e.g. Brentford second half, Swansea) it all goes to pot the following match. There is no sustained progress, no logical basis for expecting that he will be able to fix the problems. Let alone giving him the benefit of another round of buying players in the vague hope that something might click (and thereby wasting several more valuable weeks of a potential battle for safety).

This idea that if we just hold on, it will all come good is (as things stand) a pure fantasy based on little more than wishful thinking.

Good Lord! Whatever is it?

I can see no clear signs he can pull this off. Happy to be convinced as I am not a hire and fire type.

I think if we had had these results and performances were getting better, more coherent then I would say yeah, but they aren’t.

Good idea, he can then sign some more League One players in January for next seasons promotion push.

you are in a very small minority re: Hurst

I just can't see it happening and I think the players are starting to think that too

2-0 down at home and not one tackle to take a booking, get the crowd up etc

They didnt lay a glove on QPR all game

That’s my worry. No spine to the team and no progress of any of the players, in fact most have gone backwards. They don’t even seem particularly fit, which I was in the understanding he built the team around.

Now is not the right time, 3 games ago would have been better. He's clearly out of his depth. Getting rid of him now would not be rash.

This!

There is no sign that I can see that Hurst knows how to turn this around. Sticking with him in the hope things might improve at some point in the future looks like a one way ticket to League 1 to me!

Good for you! Even MM wouldn't do any better with this mob.

So what you;re saying is give him until January when he could sign more lower league players in the hope it'll all work out! I don;t think so. Let's say we have 10 points by January which would mean that we'd need to get 40 points out of last half of the season. It's not going to happen.

ME needs to act now.

No thanks

We have a centre back playing right back, a right back playing leftback. We have homegrown talent being replaced by loans who are on par or worse than them. Defenders who cannot play from the back. We don't press, our wingers are ineffective and our strikers cannot score.

Tell me what Paul Hurst has done right.

Good thing Evans didn't think the same when Jewell was here, we'd have been in L1 a lot sooner. Granted results under Jewell were a lot worse in terms of goals conceded, but today's performance was as bad as anything under the past few regimes.

I don't like calling for change this early, but we are in total freefall. There are no signs of things getting better.

it's now or relegation. and even if evens acts now the new guy is going to struggle to save us. i'm feeling cool and calm by the way.

And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show

I've got a pair but Hurst is out of his depth. He's screwed it. It happens, any decision now would not be rash but realistic and pragmatic.
