So, we all wanted change and by homer_123 15 Sep 2018 16:52I suspect the majority understand the need for patience and would be happy to see signs of improving football even if results might be slow coming.
That's a shocking start to a season and are we seeing enough improvement in terms of style and approach?
Not one of us expected this start to the season, and although we've showed spasms of decent play, we are looking bereft and out of our depth. We've not played too many teams of genuine quality.
Fully backing Hurst but and it's a big BUT, genuine concern for us now.

I agree with this, and I supported Hurst's appointment.
New manager with no top level experience changing the whole team with lower league players at once is very high risk. They may be good players, but perhaps they need an experienced hand to guide them through the increased demands? There's a big difference between the Championship and League 1.
Dropping Bart at the same time was a misjudgement, regardless of his form over a handful of games. It just adds another problem to the mix.
The only thing I can say is that it is still very early. Oddly, the start has been so bad a single win might change the whole mood. I hope. |  | | |

You can have two or three players looking to step up in a squad, but not the whole bunch.
There is lots of championship quality in our squad, sadly he isn’t picking then.
Very concerning times, although it does all feel a little inevitable? | | | |

Absolutely right to be concerned, mate.
I believe it was somewhat arrogant (and naive?) of Hurst to believe he could replace 90% of the squad so quickly and deliver results. Unfortunately, this is a guy who's spent the majority of his professional football career outside the top two tiers of our game. You can't help wondering whether someone like a Scott Parker - who has been at the top of the game and would've added a level of gravitas - could have prepared a squad just as well, if not better, than Hurst to date. | | | |

Sorry Libby I can’t come up with a reason to believe it is going to be okay.
I agree with all you are saying. Most people knew it was time for Mick to go although he did miracles with little money. It was because of him Hurst was given money through the sale of Waggy, Garner and Webster.
I really wanted to be convinced Hurst would be the one to save us but it has all been too much, too soon.
We had a good team under Mick in spite of all the injuries. Let’s face it, we finished 12th last season on a shoe string. Hurst having brought in 11 ( or is it 12) new players and seems to think he needs to play them all despite the fact most have never played in the Championship and didn’t have a pre-season with Town.
I poo pooed it when people said the bookies had us down as being relegated. Now I’m am fearing it! [Post edited 15 Sep 2018 18:41]

If we somehow beat Brentford the overall mood will skyrocket. It did after the West Ham 5-1 despite the abysmal run before that game. | |

I genuinely believe a desperate need for results is going to force Hurst's hand into playing Andre. |  | | |

Well, given the distance Hurst seems have our midfield supporting the lone striker, playing Dozzell is rather moot. | |

You don't see a problem with relegation?
I guess you didn't see a problem with going into administration either then? | |

Odd.y, Mick was pilloried for the opposite approach. | |

More concerning is do we have 10 players that can score even 1 each? | |

Sorry, I can’t give you a reason to believe it’s going to be ok. I also fear we’ve had it this season, but on a positive note it’ll be a few more grounds I’ve yet to go to ticked of the list. |  | | |

Given he's seemingly experimenting with every single member of squad & fannying around on playing styles, he'll resort to 2 upfront soon enough. | | | |

Feel the same.
4 points & a settled side to come from these 2 home games an absolute minimum requirement. [Post edited 15 Sep 2018 19:40]
