in a very long time on Saturday, we wern't even a shambles, we had players playing out of position with no commitment or drive to close down, create chances or generally just fihgt for th shirt. By about 30mintues in I was bored out of my skull, I was listening to tal sport on way back down south yesterday and a west ham supporter summed my feeling up "i dont care if we loose and try thats all I ask a bit of fight shown if the other team is better than us so be it, but at least make them work for the win rather than laying down".

I will not be going to Pools again until Turner goes, I know I dont go to a lot of games but I can think of a lot better ways to spend my time and money when visiting home for the weekend than going to watch that crap, like see my relatives. My dad who has had a season ticket longer than I have been alive said he will not be renewing it if Turner is there. IOR must take this on board Tubby is driving loyal fans away but serving up shite and expecting people to pay for it.

Spot on mate, I feel exactly the same. Until this old boys club is cleared at Pools a lot of people will be turning their back.

Saturday didnt even remind me of the dark old days in the 90's when we knew we were awful but everyone had fight and tried. We have a good talented squad (when played in position), however we are treading water and look like a dying duck.

My boss is a Peterbrough fan and went on saturday, his report of the game were they were unlucky people were trying running all over the pitch just they didnt take their chances, with Gannon screaming on the sideline. He asked me about Pools I said we were inept had two shots all day and just looked garbage. Wish turner would be more animated.

People are saying the difference between us and swindon was a good striker I dont buy that for a minute, they scored and then didnt have to do anything as we provided no threat what so ever. I got the feeling that Swindon could have went up a couple of more gears, but they did what they had to do against a non comitted team with a manger with about as much tatical knowledge as a a 4 year old kid playing risk.

I could foresee this in October and had a good argument with a few Pools fans in the rugby club after the match at Carlisle - I said this side shows all the hallmarks of a side earmarked for relegation
But the club were in a ridiculously false position at the time and people thought I was just being awkward
I know what I can see with my own eyes - it was week after week, performance after performance but with lucky wins tossed in
Now the luck has ran out and the team is getting its real rewards for its "efforts"
I put it fairly and squarely at the feet of Turner

MOD seen it and banged 500 notes on Pools to go down when we were 14/1
I never followed suit but I still didn't get on Pools at 5/1

Now they'll be even money or odds on to go down

I definitely missed a trick there

Very rare I call for the managers head but I did on Saturday. The players looked in disarray it shows how demoralising this season has been for all. I think it's time for change. Danny Wilson returning was always going to be a trigger for this type of thing.
