He pepped us up no end. A bit of pace and enthusiasm goes a long way and he's exactly what we'll need in Division Five.
In sanguine, not snippy, mood the man in the mac was moved to use the 'a' word:
"We didn't do enough attacking, and to be fair at half-time I had a bit of a pop at them. I said "don't be kidding yourself at 0-0 that I'm happy with that"."
Post-match reasonableness and accuracy from the opposition manager is really dull.
"Sometimes you've got to grind out results, it was an evenly matched affair and we've got no disappointments."
Apart from the comic twist of being not better in the first half this was just a bog standard example of Hurstian motion. Shape was kept, slackness was avoided, chances were minimal at both ends. It is not humiliating to watch any more, our defeats are narrow, our draws our tinged with slight regret.
Goalscoring. Maybe next year.
An unedifying propensity to cry before they'd even spilt their milk leaves an unnecessarily nasty aftertaste. They should let their feet do the talking.
This bunch of Prenton Parkers are the epitome of play-off fringers: well constructed, highly motivated and cleverly organised with a fine balance between age and beauty.
