6 points behind the last play off place at the moment, will it be just 3 points behind on Saturday?

And which Pools will turn up, one in form, one with the luck or one that puts on a horror show!

Down to Skippy tactics / management skills 100%.

Should be going for the jugular from kick off.
None of this stay in the game shite n hope our keeper is mom.

What will be will be.
We can only hope.
UTP.

Would make the next game.very interesting if we won. Very hard set of fixtures though for this league. I think we will still fall well short. At least we have shown a little bit of fight recently. Let's hope it continues saturday nowt to lose might as well just go for it.

really we have no option, but the game is more important to them and they are more likely to be suffering with nerves than we should. one good thing coming out of the club is the words play offs not getting a mention and hope that continues no matter where this run takes us.

This is the time of year when our maths skills suddenly get honed to Stanley Knife blade sharpness……….

Whos being optimistic now
4 wins on the trot come on Kevin.

plus checking through the fixture list of who plays who and the result of the games we want to suit us.

I reckon we will finally take control of games starting with D & R. I am going for 0-2 half time and 1-4 full time even though I already posted 1-3 this week. My confidence is growing and so should the players & management's confidence. If I was Mr. Smithers I would be saying in the dressing room " look lads I am expecting 3 points here and know you will get them " " But if I see any player not giving 110% from kick off dont be surprised if I hook you before half time " " now get out there and show me the club and those supporters you mean business today "

Ron 'Leggie' Manager .....

4th of 8.
Just studied all the remaining fixtures and there's about 5 fixtures where the teams just above us play each other including 2 on the last day.
Take in the form guide n Halifax pitch n 70 pts is enough.

Come 5pm tomorrow and this belief grows major within our fan base.
Which leaves 2 huge followings to the Manchester area and 2 rocking Vic Atmospheres.

Let's av it.
And no I havent been on the loopy juice got a night shift to do.
UTP.

I,m with you Kevin, Lets av it.

2-1 to Poo!s. Were on our way to Wembley.......

2-2 but hope I'm wrong.

Still no Mancini, had he been on the bench I would gave gone with getting a draw I.e late equaliser for Pool's. We know we can't keep a clean sheet, especially trying to play Limbricks 343 formation, a very frustrating 2-1 loss, even 3-1 Doh!
Seriously hope I am wrong, congrats Pool's please keep the dream alive.

Was on radio last nite.
Mancini groin strain injury again.

If we can't manage some game time our of him them last 4 games.
Then he has to be binned.
Harsh but a fair decision IMO.

Can’t get excited myself but love to be proven wrong. You never know whether we are going to turn up. I’m not even thinking about the playoffs

Both teams have something to play for, more so for Dagenham.
Pools are consistently inconsistent, and this game has me very puzzled indeed.
I cannot make a prediction at all.
Heavy home win, heavy away win, narrow win for Pools, narrow win for Dagenham, low scoring/high scoring draw.
All I can say is one team will get at least a point.

Penalty pools

Terrible penalty from mani ffs

1-0 pools

Grey

Come on!

Stephenson sent off

The guy started badly slow as fuck. Just not good enough for the first team. Only Pools would do this

Dagenham tails up now Ferguson being pulled all over the place

Dissent issues cost us a playoff place this season.

We need one of their players sent off now!
Only Pools!!!!!

Alty n Southend losing.
It's meant to be.
But we getting put through the emotional wringer today.

Was always hardest of last 5 games today.

UTP.

We shot ourselves innthe foot. Mani shit penalty . If we were 2-0 up would have fancied our chances holding on. It’s just a shit club who likes to put their supporters through the wringer. Can’t see us holding on meself

Rochdale 2-0 up anyway

As the table stands, from Oldham down to Tamworth, all will think they can get a play off spot at the end of the season.
With Hartlepool one of the form teams!
I hope I can say the above, come the final whistle today.

Every single result is so far going our way apart from Rochdale. If if if we can get the 3 points its play offs on for sure. Mr. Smithers is very brave to no make a sub but its so late in the season its a positive thing to try. Whatever happens from here in I for one will nit be blaming a manager for being positive so far. Maybe come 60 mins if nothing changes he brings on Waterfall for Madine.

Fact stephensonnshoukd be nowhere near the first team. Thick as fuck

Agree
. LL wrote off the away games to York Gateshead n Barnet
Hopefully AL pulls us / him out the shit.

Keep the Faith
UTP.

A good manager will prepare for a fair few eventualities.
Pools getting a player sent off is nothing new, especially this season.
Without looking back at the matches this season, when we have been reduced to 10 men, I would take a guess that Pools have thrown away a lot of points.
At the business end of the season, it is imperative we don't thow any more away.
We have 3 points at the moment from this match, we need to keep them!

It’s just lack of intelligence getting sent off

Feathers on for Madine

defending better than we did v Woking, Sass Davies doing well
Dont agree with putting Folarin and Charman on though suppose we are knackered

Stephenson sending off silly--he isnt ready to be a regular starter yet but we have no one else with Dodds out

ffs seen this story before !

Think Sass Davies could have done better there but may have got a push

Both teams need a win though so we have to go for it too

A point is no good for either side, will almost cement Dagenham to be relegated and no play off spot for Pools.

Season over--get the take over done and the clear out started....hopefully we start with Joe Monks....Folarin and Charman both abysmal when they came on---thanks Joe

Charman was dreadful when he came on, constantly lost the ball and just trying to kick people. Going down to 10 killed the season, shame.

2 points dropped. Season over . Massive clear out. It’s a joke club with a joke team who treat their fans like shit. Who would invest in this train wreck of a club

Sums up the season from the start the way Stephenson started he was going to sent off.

Doesn't look like I missed anything.

Agree Charman . Another who needs chasing. There are not many players who who come out with merit this season. Parkes, Cleary, the goaly. Mani scored a credible 15 goals but been missing for ages. Ferguson passed it . Featherstone done his best put over the hill. Marine holds the play up well but does fuck all else. Waterfall over the hill. Sass Davies average . Midfield light weight no legs . Defence pedestrian although Parkes is a warrior . Just glad it’s all over .

Mutley, you missed the heartache!

Time for Raj to sell the club now and prepare for next season, the sooner the better!

I sincerely apologise for the false hope.
Fcuk of Sing ASAP ya bastad.
