Tom Craddock

Yeah, after only 25 minutes on the pitch and having our closest effort of the game, and from our viewpoint in the Town End away from most of his truly viewable handiwork, I don't think he's that good either. :roll:

this Darlo business relating to Craddock - he wouldn't come here previously because he doesn't like Pools - so what's changed? Why has he come here if that was (or indeed possibly still is) the case? Send him back if he's not committed. I bet he wouldn't run away from the ball/not try to get the ball if he was playing for Darlo...........
This was a topic of discussion again towards the end of the match - what does Rae have to do FFS??
WILSON OUT.

I ended up going to that gig in the end Dibbs, all the lads [boro fans] said 'told ya he was shat....'

As I said in an earlier post, the lad didn't seem to want to know last night. He seemed about as quick as Richie Barker with the touch of a mule. I was expecting the fast, strong Tom Craddock I knew from my younger days so I was bitterly disappointed. I hope he proves us wrong in the next couple of games.

I sincerely hope so too Kolley

He looked very good when he came on at Cheltenham, but then the whole team performed fairly well. If he comes into a shit game surrounded by apathetic colleagues its not surprising he didn't do brilliantly.

yh i was also stood in the town end like usual and he looked really crap and im not too fond of foley anymore he is just giving the ball away and cannot be arsed. andy monkhouse is much more confident on the ball and he dare shoot unlike any others

You can't really judge him on that but he was disappointing he had an opportunity one on one with the centre back and never looked like he was going to beat him.

But the rest of team were cack especially the forward thinking players Porter, Barker, Sweeney, and Thompson all had stinkers.

Oh and don't get me started on Foley was WTF does Wilson see in that lad?

but he runs around a lot. Very fast. The fans like things like that.

Mckay and Rae should be given a chance before bringing in Craddock.

With all due respect, (I didn't see him play) but I can't see any professional footballer wanting to have a bad game, and potentially kill off his career before it has even started just because he happens to support a rival club.

the only save their keeper made in the whole game that i can recall was porters shot in the last minute that he tipped round the post.

I think he is on about Craddocks scissor kick from the edge of the box that was dropping in which forced their keeper to tip it over the bar.

Can't believe some of the criticism for Craddock on this thread, talk about trying to destroy someones career before its even began. He gets 20 minutes in a poor game and suddenly gets called a load of rubbish after actually impressing on his debut the previous week as well. Even Jammer didn't get this much stick so early on in his Pools career.

Never let common sense get in the way of the 'we know more than the establishment' attitude.

'Joel In!!!' Hmmmmm....then what happened.....
