The reason the team club gets massive complaints is that over the course of 80 to 100 games in the main its been shit, so rightly there will be massive complaints, when the team turns it round and yesterday isnt a one off then they rightly should get praise. We are sat mid table in the conference after being relegated i dont think any club should be getting full on praise for that situation. Its now about building on that win and not throwing it away on Tuesday, one thing for sure kidderninster wont be as bad as that york performance yesterday.

But they do deserve praise for a one off no ifs and buts, yesterday was as good an away performance as any I can recall. Hopefully we'll be praising them Tuesday and Saturday for one off performances too. It's not about the last 100 games, managers, or players, it's all about the next one, then the one after, and so on. Then let's see where we are when it matters, mid table in early November is neither triumph or disaster. This is the toughest league of them all to get out of, how many have ever been promoted the season after relegation says it all.

It was a cracking performance yesterday and they deserve praise for that. Cooke and Wallace made a massive difference for me, just that know how on the pitch helps massively. Really need to back this up on Tuesday night now to hopefully kick start a run. A few ratings anyway

Dixon 7 ,two good performances in a row, good handling
Paterson 7, did well
Hastie 8, on fire first 45 then ran out of steam, great finish
Johnson 8, immense for me
Mattock 7, solid as a rock
Onariase 7, some great blocks in
Wallace 8, some real stability in front of back line
Featherstone 8, controlled the game in the main
Cooke 9, thought he was fantastic and 3 assists
Crawford 8, pretty much did everything he didn't do last week,hassled and got stuck in, good goal too
Mani D 6, some good link up play

Great away day, great atmosphere, stupid amounts of traffic and a pint in a bowling alley!

They've been criticised after each loss though.
As for mid table being a disaster, think we were worse off in the promotion season. Its only a couple of days ago people on here were saying we're heading for relegation, surely mid table for them must be exceeding their expectations, and you'd expect them to be absolutely elated after an unexpected away win.
The team that finishes as low as 7th can get promoted too, so short term target is 7th not top.

I think everyone is elated and not having an agenda like some. Im sure the ones questioning askey last week and the previous months have gone a little quieter this weekend. Finishing 7th would be great but chances of promotion would be very minimal considering all your games are away. Settling for 7th in november though in the conference is that really good enough? Im sure we would all snatch your hands off now though.

Well the ones questioning Raj have shut up as well.

exactly. we need a performance and a result on tuesday to keep the momentum of not getting beat instead of the opposite we have suffered. we,ll know by 10 on tuesday night if we are on a mini run or york was just a one off or a season changer. its all about a 46 game league season and not picking out this or that result to suit agendas.

Maybe. Kidderminster look to be there for the taking, but who knows? They don't concede many and are much better defensively than Pools - but have only scored 12 in 20 games. A draw looks to be on the cards. Cooke and Wallace might not be up to 2 games in 4 days after long layoffs - I'd rather they were looked after just now rather than risking having them straight back on the treatment table.

There's 26 games left this season, every game isn't a 'must win' despite a lot of the crack on here saying it is. I reckon Pools will get better as the season goes on but realise that's a minority view Some folk who've been very quiet after York will be right back in their element if there's any result other than a win on Tuesday night.

Not by a long chalk - you can't compare this season with 4 years ago because that season didn't start till the beginning of October! After 20 league games in the promotion season (where we are now) DC's Pools were second in the table. http://www.inthemadcrowd.co.uk/UI/Seaso ... id=2020/21

We also lost 10 games in 46 matches, havent we lost that already? So were clinging at straws in the ocean that were going to do as well as we did back then or change it around.

Don’t get me wrong here, but on the back of a good away win you’ve mostly given us a catalogue of complaints…..I notice when we lose it’s a Turkey shoot but a win and the shooters sleep in.

Nonsense read my posts about the game.

I give the team credit when it wins but i dont bury my head in the sand when they go on a terrible run, like many do and pretend all is rosey. Anyway snowy i know your game. Oh they only come on when they lose. Cant say that of me im afraid.

Think the big difference is that a loss results in criticism of the team, individuals in the team, or the manager / coaches, by the vast majority on here.
Others see a loss as a chance to blame the abo e, but also to blame Raj too.
On the other hand, a win gets praise from the majority, but reluctant praise (with a but / what about / etc), and strangely enough no mention of Raj from that minority group.

Yet you could say the opposite for the happy clappers. Even last years farce, no criticism whatsoever of the main man. This is one result its not two seasons of decline.

I think everyone is elated and not having an agenda like some..

Mainly because the main man isn't responsible for piss poor performances on the pitch. He's delegated that to managers, players, coaches, and recruitment staff.
This obsession with blaming him for players mistakes is just bizarre. If you buy go to see a fillum and the acting is wooden do you criticise the CEO of MGM?

Did you blush when you typed that sentence…..you’ve got the longest running agenda for the past few years by a country mile.

Facts are i can say well done and praise the players for winning one game. Facts are some will not criticise two seasons of garbage no matter what.

Too right be glad when he is gone two football clubs ruined by one man.

If you buy go to see a fillum and the acting is wooden do you criticise the CEO of MGM?

And if he goes and there’s nothing left, then what…do you ever plan ahead…or just expect every thing just falls into place….naivety personified.

One clap for a win eight boos for a defeat…do the maths.
Till a new owner comes along, what dummy would want to risk the club’s future.
Cutting your nose off to spite your face off is a warning, not a lifestyle.

He is going nowhere till he sells it. Stop being so dramatic.

Think you need to get over Challinor like you keep telling everyone else. Bit of an obsession over the man.

Tend to agree. We are all entitled to a moan, its theraputic and helps (only a bit) with the crushing disappointments. But some on here just whinge all the bloody time.

Maybe they are on a period, No one to blame not even the "Romans"

Talking of periods……I was once asked to go in to a ladies changing room ‘under escort’ to open the door on the Tampax vending machine….. got a screwdriver to wedge it open after freeing the lock…..the door suddenly sprung open and dropped it’s bomb load around me as I stood ankles deep in Tampax boxes.
I made my excuses and left

Anygood with vending machines, Food type.

We went up through the play offs, we are currently five points off the play offs so it can be repeated. On the other hand we're only seven points above the drop. I always put great store on being lucky with injuries and suspensions at the lower levels because the back up to regular first teamers tends to be wanting.
So far this season our luck has been less than desirable so if it changes dramatically for the better we have a chance.

over a full season i,ve always said no lucky side gets relegated or unlucky ones get promotion. like us with the play offs they might get lucky for a couple of games though. Think the game at chesterfield showed the different fortunes for both sides. i,m still convinced we,d have won that with dodds in the side and mancini had not got crocked when we were really on top and winning.
