I've just looked through 27 photos on the club site of Pools' second day in training in Holland and can't spot Big Steve in any of them.

There is a player with a fat arse lying on the deck in Pic 1, but the arse alone isn't conclusive. The head's not big enough for Stevie!

He's not in the starting 11 for the game against Almere City either.

I see he has Rodney in his starting 11 , looks like 1 up front with franks and Compton playing either side ?

Really hope we get some more new signings soon as that side looks pretty gash on paper, though the addition of James to it would make it a lot stronger

Mister Double D, is your relentless negativity meant to be a joke or are you really a candidate for Hartlepool's most miserable man?

That's an award that would take some winning, but you're definitely in with a chance!

Sorry just not seeing a decent team in that- in fairness add James and flinders, the fact walker could be a star and we hopefully get a decent left back and someone to replace donkey Collins and the team looks a Lot better

Explain the reasoning behind saying "walker could be a star".

He is an unknown quantity, I could equally have said walker could be shite but I was being optimistic

And like Rowell and James completely under use him?

Lets hope Collins and Holden are also under used !
