I have a gut feeling that this is going to be a good day for Pools.

Mansfield 0 Pools 2

Away win.
Bingham to notch.

In the five games since they’ve not managed to score and were knocked out of the FA Cup on Tuesday night when they were beaten 2-0 in their replay at Oldham Athletic.

Have a hunch Pools will return with 3 points. 2.0 Gray and Bingham.

In fairness Mansfield deserved the win. Our failure to contain their left winger combined with a lack of decent balls to Bingham and Mandron contributed to pur demise. Their second was a pearler, very few kEekpers would have kept it out.

Failure to contain left winger, with Harrison at right back...who would have thought it. Ronnie and the scouting team done well there if they watched Mansfield and they had any sort of tricky winger and played Harrison out there

And hopefully that will be the last time we see Klueless Oyenuga in a Pools top. He was a complete liability.

He was desperately poor today. Should have been hooked at half time.

poolieinnottingham · **Posted:** Sat Nov 21, 2015 9:13 pm

After half an hour it was obvious he was way off the pace. Running down blind alleys, misplacing passes, not tracking back in the right areas - like a poor man's Jonathan Franks.

monkeybutt · **Posted:** Sat Nov 21, 2015 9:43 pm

once again the manager failed to take action early enough, Kudos on for 60 minutes is a joke, Oates made such a difference running at the defence and making chances, Harrison was bobbins and should have been pulled, Magnay to right back and feather into middle, Bingham was poor and no excuses for the result, was the third goal that was a beauty!

Very poor display all round Harrison like a duck out off water what is Ronnie doing playing him there the only player to come out with credit was Oates who was a sub

Feathers tone in the middle really is that pools has come to let's accept 3rd of bottom

I don't know if anyone heard there gaffers interview on the radio but anyone who questioned his decisions or opinions in the past 5 games they haven't scored is 'uneducated' and today showed they have the best striker in the league and best 3 centre backs. Yes they beat us 3-1 but they were a long way off best this season.

Harrison didn't have a good game but I don't particularly blame him being played out of position. People like Magnay in CM which I understand but he has been a full back the rest of his career. Would it not have made more sense to play him at full back and have someone fill in for this one game like push bates forward.

I thought Naismith did okay, kept looking to beat his man and hit the bar just after there third and that could have set up a very different finish to the game.

Poor Harrison. Spent all afternoon chasing shadows. I spent most of the game with my head in my hands watching ball after ball after ball go whizzing across our 6 yard box from their left.

If they'd have had a poacher we'd have lost 12-1.

For me, we really needed to change something to stop it happening, whether that be a tactical change or sub but it never came and it just kept happening. Over and over again.

Franks, for all his faults, is a much better player than Kudus will ever be.

Who'd of thought we would be short of right backs after recent years?!

Was there today and it was a game of two left wingers. Theirs must have a sore foot tonight after crossing the ball so many times. Kudos looked like a rabbit in the headlights.

Jackson looked a class above at the back and the scoreline might have looked a lot worse without him.

In terms of holding the ball up and trying to play people in I thought Mandron was pretty decent, unfortunately I don't think I've seen him have a shot yet. We know Bingham is good at creating chances but there was one point in the second half he and Mandron were playing little passes to each other on the edge of the box but neither wanted to have a go.

The main frustrating thing for me was the lack of fight in certain players when we went behind. I might be in the minority but personally I be pissed and went to fight back, not just mope with my head down.

On another note, who was the last good left back we had?

Harrison at right back and kudos even playing, what is Ronnie playing at? No wonder we lose games quite regularly with tactics like this. Quite a few keep saying were only two or three players short of a decent team. We get a couple of loans in and we still look two or three players short. Salford wont have a better chance to reach the third round if we keep persisting in certain players.

Who would you have played right back?

Harrison has basically been ripped apart this year at centre back time and time again with people running through the middle. So tell you what lets play a team with good wingers and shove a guy with no pace and idea of being a right back out there. Do we not play a right back in the reserves? Anybody with a bit of pace or idea of playing right back would of played their winger better.

Is Jordan Richards still injured? I thought he was our reserve right back. Obviously playing a centre back with no pace at right back against a tricky winger is a shit idea. Hopefully our chief scout would have warned his father about him.

I feel like we need to play Woods as a box to box mid, that way Gray can have more creative freedom and Magnay can sit back more and add more defensive stability

Or his father should know about that, after all, it is on page 72 of the idiots guide to football tactics!

Everybody you spoke to thought Harrison would struggle at right back.Featherstone played right back once & was decent,he should have been there yesterday.

Probably the best shout yet (Featherstone!? He couldn't tackle a dinner. I'm not sure how he'd have handled the winger better) but you'd lose too much from midfield.

After seeing cross after cross go into our box yesterday against a side who hadn't scored in 450 minutes I reckon Featherstone or any one with some sort of change of pace in their legs would of coped better.

We did sign Magnay as a right back in the first place.

Rob McKinnon.
Of the players Ronnie scattered in May.
How many of the new lads are a major improvement.
Results sugest not enough of them as yet another defeat against Stanley tomoro nite will be nailed on..
Hope im wrong but just cant see it!

Results suggest otherwise
We've won double the amount of league games this season has we had last season and six place above higher in the league, that's a major improvement as far as I am concerned

or is that shite?

Well lets be honest it would be pretty hard to of done as bad as this time last year. We are only 3 places higher than were we ended up. We have improved results wise, but its not been particularly great viewing either.
