That what we just watched there, is apparantly the best this club has to offer. I’m embarrassed and ashamed.

What was the reaction like at full time?
Feels like after months of lethargic resignation at our plight today's marked a turning point towards active dissent on here towards Hurs, would be curious to hear if that was replicated at the ground.

Same as always I’d imagine - plenty of boos, but nothing aimed towards the chairman who is slowly killing the club. |

From start to finish it was a joke. Salop were booed off at halftime. Someone said that Bloxham didn’t get the passes. For a start the midfield were non existent. Secondly Bloxham strolled around in the first half with no effort. Hurst put the side out to start which was appalling.
What else is there to say. With Hurst here god help us.

With this run of away games coming up can anyone see a win happening? I really don't care about the cup game apart from the cash incentive its irrelevant if you can't win the cup

The only positive Hurst could say about the game is……… the kit looked good didn’t it 😂

Has a starting line up ever been so questionable (amongst everyone beforehand, not in hindsight) as the one today?
It was guaranteed to lose, and lose it did, in a manner totally unacceptable regardless of budgets etc.
Today was shameful for the first time this season, imo, and that doesn’t bode well.
Some individuals were abysmal today, in quality and in effort.
So bad. Thank goodness Barnsley were happy to settle with 2, and not really good enough to humiliate us. Good enough to beat us comfortably, of course.
Shocking.

The annoying thing is I know we all think we can do better than the manager when the truth is we very much can't but when you
Come away from a game like today I sometimes think maybe we could have done today

Whilst discussing January I will be very surprised if O'Reilly, Castledine and Sagoe are still here then. Their parent clubs must be highly unimpressed with the 'experience' they are gaining with us. Assuming recall clauses they will be on their way to something more productive in terms of their development.

GT damaged his legacy by coming back for a 2nd spell. PH has effectively wrecked his - though to be fair he was dealt a bad hand from the outset with the budget. But he's completely lost the plot now. And as and when PH and CD go, they can take MM with them. Careful now, we have no money. Could end up with Hurst leaving and MM as caretaker - until the end of the season 
If I was PH.I would feel I had to offer my resignation after that, might not be accepted though.

Dreadful today, so many weak links in the side. Rossiter doesn't look anywhere near fit enough, almost like he's won a competition, Pierre and Nsiala are shocking, Perry offered nothing.
Why was the tactic to pick out Lloyd with the long balls in the first half rather than Bloxham? Bizarre. Even when Salop had the ball there was no idea going forward just get the ball and hoof it and hope something magically happens. I know there's talk of Hurst out and I tend to agree, but it needs complete change not just one man.

Is the reserve goalie, Young is it? still actually there and on the payroll?

Hurst has the easiest job in the world. The team and subs pick themselves every game yet he wants to over-complicate everything. I understand the game plan and it nearly worked first half but for a late goal but we have got to react quicker and have a go before the game is out of sight. We you have a back 5 and a midfield 3 with no creativity you concede that you will have no attacking threat. It nearly working through to HT was down to pure luck. |

They scored with their first shot on target. They had 2 shots off target that were pot shots. They had possession yes but I think that was by design. If we could have made it to half time level I for one would have been pleased at our defensive display. I still think we missed Benning for all his faults. I loved Nurse pre-injury he was pure class and I know I am being very harsh as he is well off 100% match fit but he seems to be a shadow of the player (understandable after 2 years out). If he has lost a bit of pace then he should just be used as a CB. |

Is Benning carrying a knock, genuinely don't remember him coming out to warm up? |

I am, even after today ( which was, by all reports, unmitigated dross from beginning to end) prepared to make excuses for Mr Hurst, who foolishly supped from the cup with which he was presented by the Chairman; I will not,however, make any allowance for Mr Wycherley, whose actions, inaction or lack of attention are ultimately the ingredients for failure; Paul Hurst almost achieved a miracle, and perhaps, in a different way, Mr Wycherley also had his success, but time has moved on....

As soon a I saw that line-up I thought he's looking for a pay off. Why, if we've got minimal budget, are we wasting the little quality we have on the bench.
Hurst's response to Dunny - who sounds about as perplexed as everyone else - about why the young players weren't more involved didn't make any sense. Stating that they wouldn't have helped us defend set-pieces - possibly not but if you have 3 large centre backs and several other defensive minded players, why do they have to? Plus, if you have more attacking, creative, pacey outlets, we likely wouldn't have to defend so much. Not to mention the fact that if you're expecting a physical battle, surely Marquis should start.
He then essentially said that because the way it turned out, it wasn't a place for youngsters today?! When he was largely responsible for ensuring it turned out as dismally as it did.

You are wrong , block 19 was anti town for most of the game , as was most of the chants I could hear in the west stand Hurst got zero mentions , almost all chants were aimed at the chairman by name I just hope potential buyers were not in attendance , our fans are enough to scare anyone off |

Completely disagree as usual, our fans deserve better and are remarkably tolerant of dross. We’ve been badly let down by the club for a while now and deserve to be heard.

There were so many woeful performances today that it’s difficult to single out anyone who actually played well. But actually thought Bloxham played well in the 2nd half today, beating his man every single time and at least getting a cross in. Savin also made some good saves to keep it respectable. Nurse was also ok considering he’s coming back from being in the wars.
Perry, Rossiter & Ojo were all really poor and that’s the crux of the problem.
Hurst simply has to use the young loan players. We have no spark. Everything is industrial, functional and stoic. Quite frankly I’m bored. We need outlets and some pace and a few raw players to create chances, win free kicks and increase our possession.

We need outlets and some pace and a few raw players to create chances, win free kicks and increase our possession. Feeney, Gillead and Bloxham(only just) are the only ones who can be slightly satisfied with their performance today. Lloyd would have been my MOTM if it was not for the constant unneeded offsides that just killed any chance of a town attack. |

As Hurst has pointed out none of us see what happens in training. Most of us will know as parents that youngsters are prone to sulking if they don't get their own way. Not saying this is the problem but it certainly sounds like some are not putting the effort in and don't deserve a starting place. The Managers options are therefore limited. It's very easy for us to criticize not knowing the full facts and Hurst is certainly not going to name individuals.

Commentary very negative. We have defended well and Savin hasn't had a save to make. Wasteful with the ball but we've played worse. I know you’ll defend the club to the death but that is a crazy statement to make… |
