theres still a hell of a lot of football to be played, so hopefully!!!

How many kicks up the backside will it take? 5-0 home to mk, 4-0 at yeovil? The 9 games we've lost after taking the lead? 4 points this weekend is the bare minimum.

We've been doing a lot of hoping lately. We have gradually moved from the top half of the table to the bottom four with eight games to go.
Of course we all hope that we'll escape but how much confidence have we of achieving it.
What Turner and Hodcroft have put our club through this season is nothing short of criminal and they should be drummed out of town for it.
However I don't think they really care what happens. They expect to be challenging for promotion next season and they expect all us silly buggers to come out in droves to back that theory.
I for one will not fall for the same trick again.

Chip, I sense your holding back like me, I want to portray a positive outlook but...... lets be honest here, we were all saying back in November that our league positon was false, Turner was continually stating that fans were being over critical because we were 11th/12th, whereas we knew this position in the table did not reflect our true form.

Now we've hit the bottom four, and nobody who's a true Pools fan wants to be there, but I've no confidence whatsoever in this buffoon getting us out of the situation we find ourselves in.

He talks shite, and if he manages to keep us up, and I pray to the Lord he does, it will be more through luck than management skill.

if they fail again tomorrow then even the most optimistic fan must realise the writing's on the wall. The players have to prove once and for all they have balls tomorrow

The thing is the teams around us are now picking up points. Exeter have done really well recently and gotten out of trouble, Brighton who where below us a few weeks ago are almost safe, and Southend have put in a couple of results. We haven't and are reapping the rewards. If we lose today we could be cut adrift. Orient would be 5 points away and Oldham are at home to Gillingham and if there is a positive result there it moves someone else 4 points clear. I can also see Southend beating Yeovil at home and putting them above us. Shytte we'll be third bottom by 5 pm sadx

A minimum of 3 points in the next 2 games is required. The pressure is well and truly on. Turner is the only person to blame for the situation we find ourselves in, KH is only guilty of giving him too much time.

It's time for Turner to get tough instead of his usual namby pamby attitude towards the situation.

We need at least one win this weekend. The team seriously needs a shot in the arm given we are now in the bottom four.

Pigs will fly mate before that happens.

I see that Gillingham have won no away games all season, yet they are still above us. They must surely win one or two before the end of the season?

The management & players are sleep-walking into relegation - they just don't seem to grasp it.

Please God, let us win today...

I think it was the 'gotten' that did it. :wink:

I can even forgive 'methinks' sometimes, but 'gotten??'

Heaven forfend.... :roll:

WestParkPoolie · **Posted:** Sat Apr 03, 2010 5:38 pm

Well done today, lads. Didn't think we'd get the win, but hopefully dropping into the bottom 4 was the wake up call they needed.

Keep it up, and roll on Monday clappp

I have used 'gotten' when appropriate in the past, put since you admonished me for its use I have wiped it from my vocabulary.
