This is a shocker for me. Can see Hurst losing the dressing room at this rate. I don't have Instagram but I presume he said something critical of a player? If so it was as a silly thing to do , say what you have to say in the dressing room or if needed privately to the player. Not post on a social platform. |

I’d have had Tommy OReilly on for the last 20. He’s quick turns and would have had a yard on Charltons legs.
I think that Hursts views on him were in relation to the 11 needed for this game.

A vast improvement on last weekend but ultimately the same outcome.
We've had some half chances, mainly tame headers from balls across the box but I don't think we've really worked the keeper. Feeney (M) probably had the best chance at the back post in the second half.
Must admit none of the penalty shouts looked convincing for me. Hurst seemed to think one was (Sagoe possibly) but he looked like he went down in stages. No idea why Winchester tried to buy one when he was in but summed up his afternoon unfortunately
For the lack of firepower and creativity in the squads it's criminal just how poor we are at set pieces and even more of a kick to the balls being that is how we lost the game.
A lot of 6/7s across the pitch. Thought Ojo looked tidy. Gillead works hard but again I don't see a lot of moves starting in that midfield.
My only concern was when there was 5/10 minutes left in the game, the place should have been bouncing but it was absolutely dead. Almost a sense of resignation that we weren't getting back in the game.
Being beaten when you're absolutely dross like we were last weekend is one thing but losing when you've played well is probably worse for morale.
The run of games doesn't get any easier either.

Because I have seen Lloyd waste too many great chances already. He could play till the end of the season and wont get near double figures. I like him a lot but he has no strikers instinct and his finishing is woeful. I'd like someone better than them both but for me Marquis starts. It's a pity we don't have a system were Lloyd and marquis could pkay Lloyd does an incredible job against much bigger players. . I thought it was Lloyd who forced a good save by there keeper after Feeney forced a good save in the second half ? It was but he was offside. He also scuffed the shot from 8 yards out and it rolled into the keepers arms. |

Don’t think Town deserved 3 points but certainly deserved a point .
Lloyd ran all match , he can certainly jump too.
All in all I thought Town did well ,first half certainly , but not so good second . We made chances just couldn’t put them away.
Overall I came away quite impressed, if we carry on like this we will pick up points no doubt . A couple of good results and we will be off and running .
Ref did well today .Couldnt quite see what happened with the penalty shouts first half but Winchester’s pathetic attempt to win a penalty second half was embarrassing .
He had a chance to drive the ball into the area from where he was but no , fell over looking for a pen. I do hope Hurst has a word with him .
Yes, there is some light at the end of the tunnel and I think Hurst is getting to be nearer to working out his starting 11 . The two Feeneys must start though.

Shame we bust our budget to sign another defensive midfielder but couldn't bust our budget to keep our top scorer and key front man who could score goals in and outside the box.

Yes agreed the two Feeneys really solid.
The one big issue is with Bloxham, he got bollocked by Feeney late on. Seems like Bloxham does his own thing not good

We surely can’t afford for the coach to have his favourites and falling out. If he’s in any way professional he will put the team first and his feelings second. We need points and we need them sooner rather than later. Or were those comments just a kick up the aris which Hursty is expecting a reaction to? |

I believe it's because he wasn't sent out on loan to learn his craft at lower league earlier in his career. There was a lack of development a few years back which also resulted in wasting Barnett. |

He does not track back consistently, which results in a huge hole down the right side. I'm surprised Hurst has not sorted this out. |

Just read Hursts views take on who played and who didn’t and his reasoning.
I’m with him on his why’s and where fors.
Keep supporting and hope all goes well.

If the keeper wears a cap, it's a 0 0 draw.
The Coopers Veggie Rolls are a delightful addition to this seasons menu.
The buffet bars are woefully understaffed.
We are p**sing away thousands on unused car parking spaces.
Either Sagoe tripped over his laces or that's a stonewall penalty.
Nathan Jones won't make it past 50.
We're nailed on to finish 20th or below.
That is all.

We did try , we offered him double his wage , he kept us hanging on for more for 9 months , and now he's scored twice this season |

If he needs to have his hand held the goalkeeper coach should have yelled at him to wear a cap. |

Probably should've doubled his money prior to him hitting the last year of his contract. But such is, we"ll get the talk of the heroic dipping into pockets to sustain the club, but it seems not so to have kept a player that can actually make a difference. |

Something I found interesting today at the end of the match. Hoole screamed into his top and looked visibly upset when the full time Whistle was blown. He held his hands up to the crowd and said he was sorry at least twice. I was a bit confused because I don't recall him making many big mistakes or missing any chances. Only thing I can think of is that it was his man at the corner who scored the goal.

Err, just a quick reality check here. We have lost 4 out of 5 league games, out of the 4 teams that have beaten us, 3 of them occupy the top 3 positions in the league table! Of the 5 games I’ve watched, we were shocking against Peterborough, poor against Wrexham, okay against Huddersfield and good against both Charlton and Orient. We are missing a goal scorer but if the two Feeneys’ can gel at centre backs, then I think we will avoid the heavy defeats and probably start grinding out the typical PH 1-0 wins! COYB.

Sorry to start O/T, but why would we have doubled the wages of someone who had just had a full year out? But then also once in the last year, any agent worth his salt with players at this level would advise to wait as long as possible for better offers. It's the nature of lower league football for clubs like us. On today's game, despite the positives we never really looked like we were going to score. In our position we just can't afford to give away such soft goals. The biggest disappointment for me is that the subs made very little impact on the game. O'Reilly looks to be a game changer but he barely warmed up all game. There was an occasion when Castledine had to tell Bloxham where he should be when closing down the defenders. The Feeney's looked to be ok as a partnership. I also thought Ojo looked useful in the midfield. Lloyd is a live wire up front and will tun all day to put defenders under pressure, but not sure how many goals he'll get. Sagoe Jnr was our biggest threat, even at the point when he went off. A tough run of games still to come over the next few weeks, so need something at Mansfield. |

We would love a striker that can score that ration surely?? Bloxham is around that as well early doors. Lets see who gets the most by the end of April |

I said it when he left and I stand by it, Udoh was the biggest loss and I don’t think people realise just how good he was for us in such a creatively bereft side.
4 goals scored in 6 games, and we’ve already blanked in four games this season. It doesn’t matter who we pick, what the system is, who’s in charge, we can change anything and we still can’t consistently score goals at this level.
And it’s all well and good saying keep playing like that and we’ll be fine, but I don’t see many signs at all that we will be fine.

It felt like a similar performance to Huddersfield narrowly nicking the points. The same team who thumped Bolton 4-0 away yesterday.
It was a fairly scrappy 0-0 draw with penalties that would have been given against us and then a looping header from a Striker in the Moroccan international system who they paid £900,000 in the summer.
