Yesterday no fewer than 6 former Poolies scored in the National league, Rodney Maguire, Shelton, Kabamba, Umerah, and Fondop , All deemed not good enough for Hartlepool how the mighty have fallen.

If Mo Salah played up front for us he'd struggle to score in this team.

Pity they couldn’t do it for us when they were here…or the other clubs they were rejected by……

They're all still playing at NL and none are prolific - the latter maybe explains the former??

Hodcroft once said to me during Turner's reign and I quote : " Every goal scorer we sign fails at Pools to continue scoring regularly, and said we must be cursed " that comment came after the latest goal machine Effion arrived. He also got off to a very slow start but eventually he started scoring although not to his previous levels of his former clubs. Then we had Marco & Super Gordon who produced from minute one. Looks like Effion was the one to change that trend back then. So maybe something desperate up top up top like playing Joe up top with Campbell or Mancini could make a huge difference with faster movement and on the floor faster passing. I know a Heed fan quite well and he cannot believe Campbell is a flop here. He said he must be played up top in this league because his movement in and around the box was devastating for them when he scored 25 goals two seasons back. He could have a good point because they adore Campbell and would take him tomorrow to play up top. Who knows but it's either 3 points of goodbye to D.S. tonight. We would then have to move fast get someone like Pete Wild in and give it one last blast in this swamp league because it is " The very last chance saloon time " because after this season I really feel its a lost ( Torquay ) type sinaro.

Agree about Campbell…even for his brief appearance last night he the movement and passing ability…Sarll may be dyslexic when it comes to playing players in their best position.
