He just needed to leave. And should have done before we played Wrexham... A Hurst team would have beaten them. or hurst might have lost 2-0, we can speculate that, after all Taylor had a better record last season than Hurst did ( twice ), thats a fact we cant debate. ( especially home games, Taylor won 50%, hurst won once) we forget the previous manager vanished for 2 weeks abroad at the clubs expense and then took a week to decide he wasnt up to the task, we then had to chase a DOF who then had to find a head coach, we can also debate about the mess he was left in and having to hunt for half a squad in the jumble sale, and then find 10 of his squad are out injured, but we dont go anywhere near that debate do we, why ? because our negative dull boring football got us 12th position. ( papering over the cracks was an understatement ) (. I still thank Jesus every night for providing us with 12 worse clubs in the division that season  ) am I glad hurst is in charge this season instead of Taylor , yes Sorry not as I remember it. Mickey Moore was appointed 10 days after the last game but Cheltenham Town gave permission for our approach before the last game. So SC went on holiday (at the clubs expense is hearsay) to find he was now under a DoF. What the communication from the club was we don’t know but hardly chasing a DoF because he’d run off just isn’t true. More like something from The Brothers Grimm Why did we pay his contract up if he’d done wrong? |

Injuries are always an issue for small squads and we have two players with a history of injuries, it would have been three if price had stayed, I liked price and hoped he would stay but I thought the club were fair given his age and injury history Two players? If we sign the triallist from Saturday (who many think would be a great addition) then the numbers of injury history increase already. Then you can add Nurse to that list as well at the moment until he proves otherwise. Add the odd knocks and niggles that keep players out for 2 or 3 games as well. I would doubt Hurst will have such a settled squad as in his last season with us. Maths was never my strong point! I guess I was thinking just of the new players. But we know with a small squad injuries can be destabilising |

I take your point but I feel it is a bit harsh on Nurse - second was an impact injury, I can still see it now, was right in front of us, could have been anyone, anytime, most players pick up injuries at some stage. Loans that came to us last season and broke down all broke down with new injuries I think (though I am sure someone will correct me) not a recurrence of an old one, so not sure we could have predicted that, or that it is an indicator. Crossing all digits though as you may guess |

Didn’t see Roland, was he there today? Yes, signed autographs and went round it all. Did you get to the Q&A I missed the second half of it? Yes I did, asked a question which was answered well by Paul Hurst, and had a good 10 minute chat with him afterwards….. Some managers fit certain clubs and imo Hurst fits ours…. |

Crossing all digits though as you may guess On Nurse, it can be disputed that he has missed 95% of the last 2 seasons. Probably most of the injury prone other players will have played more than Nurse. I do hope Nurse can overcome his injuries and go onto have a full season and indeed the rest of his career as we know what a good player he was 2 years ago. But atm you would have to class him as injury prone in my view until proven otherwise. |

And yet everything is going exactly to plan so far , the only disappointing things are those who have judged already in the past weeks / months I get your point but after last season and our financial issues,then I was apprehensive. But I tend to think lets see how they shape up after 10 to 12 games We may still be recruiting after the season starts so until that happens... |

My hope for a better season is based on the fact that we look so much fitter than we did at the start of last season and we are attempting to attack more
Also I trust PH more than whoever was recruiting last season ( MM or MT )
