Perhaps we have better "snake"-handlers.....lol. Just to clarify, I was, and am not, one who thought of Mr Hurst as a snake at all! He's had a fair amount of venom sent his way, now it's time for Hursty to provide the antidote. The "antidote" will come only in performances and results! Generally speaking, so far, so good.... After last year's turmoil, we all need to be patient, whilst still believing that the future will be better than our recent past! COYB!

the only stats you need to know is Hurst quickly dropped Kenneh ,Perry & Anderson
anyone with half a brain would have done the same months earlier
as a rule of thumb, sides perform a lot better with 11 players than they do with 8 ;-)

Can't pick a pass mind but if he could he would be in the Championship 🤷♂️

Kennah will play when he gets fitter and more mobile,and can pass the ball.....Perry will play,when he stops running around like a headless chicken,and gets in positions regularly,where he's got a chance of scoring more goals... .. Anderson...**** knows!!!🤷🤷🤦🤣

That is an absolutely phenomenal up turn, and wholly representative of Hurst and Doigs style of play. If you're a Facebook user, I'd post that on the Shrewsbury Town page, and let those who still back Bri*n C*ldw*ll know How the hell is Caldwell relevant to those stats ! Because whilst he was still about there was no way we’d sign Hurst, his wife didn’t like him.

The formation was dictated by the director of football. The director of football told us that. I must have missed that, I was always under the impression that the official line was the match day decisions were down to MT. Yes confirmed by MM at the SP meeting.

He did but also said (later on) MT chose the team and was free to change formation. (Perhaps protecting himself before sacking MT)

With Caldwell gone far earlier we'd have had Hurst back, saved money on sacking the builder, not had to endure Moore and probably/allegedly still have £1m in the bank.

And yet the tactics against Wrexham were spot on, it was the players who couldn't execute the plan. That Sobowale miss is the stuff of nightmares.
Wrexham may have done Town a favour by putting the nail in Taylor's coffin etc.

Yep.... Town and Hurst are a good fit imho.... hopefully we stay up,and then look forward to the new season in august.my hope as been restored 👍👍 I think we will stay up but the goal difference may come back to bite us. To be honest don't really care now which Division we are in next season(although clearly prefer not to go down). Reason I don't care is I know what we are getting next season, either way. I am looking forward to a fit, organised team who know how we are trying to score goals. The stats are great but the feeling around supporting the Club is totally different. The buzz under the stands at half time on Saturday, I haven't seen for years, probably 2018. I know we had just scored but nobody was moaning about losing a two goal knead and we would lose the lead we just got. Very untown fan like. As an exile I go to between 20/25 games a season. Was struggling to get to 20 games this year which was the absolute minimum I was looking at before the season started. Because I couldn't justify to myself putting in the effort to watch the dross being served before Chrstmas agreed to do other things on Saturdays, some of which don't involve watching any football which is unheard of. Now regretting agreeing to those things as want to watch Salop

Now regretting agreeing to those things as want to watch Salop Will be interesting to see the season ticket sales at the end of the early bird - I would not have bought one if it had still been Taylor in charge because the football was just dire to watch. I am still amazed that we got the points we did under him. The Paul Hurst effect has been a massive saviour for Roland, who now is avoiding the flack for the failed takeover by the Swedes.

I'll wait until the accounts The accounts will tell us how bad the financial situation is, what it won't reveal of course is why that is the case. And then we will be back to debating whether to blame Cotterill, Caldwell or Roland

Just hope the club don’t pussy foot around and make whatever happened ‘become apparent’…..

I would be surprised if we get information to know the full story. Usually our accounts provide the bare minimum information rather than giving the full breakdown I was quoting Roland😉 This uncertainty’s caused as much harm as the overspend.

Now regretting agreeing to those things as want to watch Salop Yeah, the big difference over the last month or so is that I'm actually cautiously optimistic going into games and broadly enjoying them when I'm there, as opposed to under Taylor where I frankly could barely be arsed going and had a largely awful time watching us when I did. I joked before Peterborough that I was desperate for the game to be called despite the fact I was already there, but it wasn't entirely untrue - I would have been quite relieved if it had, as opposed to Saturday where I'd have been gutted. I'd be stunned if we don't get enough from the remaining games to stay up relatively comfortably, especially now that it feels like points are theoretically up for grabs in every game we have. But it's a fair point that even if we were to go down, assuming we stuck with Hurst it wouldn't fill me with quite as much dread knowing that we'd have a side with a plan and who are up to speed in terms of fitness, and try and score some goals. None of this should be rocket science of course, it's a sign of what we had to put up with in the first half of the season that we're lauding all this.

We could predict who will say what and who they blame right now I might actually do that 😝

Anyway, back on topic, there does seem a noticable improve in stats under Hurst.
Hopefully points and results follow now!

Deliberate Dumbing Down of America ? Demolition Derby Drivers Association ? Dublin Docklands Developers Autocracy ? I was wondering this myself and after a quick Google I think DDDA is incorrect (in fact the second search result was this very thread!!) - it should be PPDA (Passes allowed Per Defensive Action). The link below explains in more detail:-
However having said that it may well be 'Demolition Derby Drivers Association' - sounds a lot more fun!!!

From the remaining games, I've roughly worked out that we'll get 52/53 PTS....and tbh, I've been quite conservative with that figure
