If ever there was a team of players and a manager who could silence what was meant to be a positive atmosphere then we have them. Yes we have a few players missing but I doubt they'd have made much a difference anyway. I'm fed up losing to average sides who don't even need to work to beat us, we just gift goals to the opposition. What the hell Adams was playing at I will never know, just put the ball in the stand, more alarmingly he barely looked arsed that he'd done it, definitely one of the worst players I've ever seen pull on a pools shirt and that's saying something. I don't know how harrison expects to win games with his constant negative approach, the bloke just hasn't got a clue.
If this takeover happens the first thing to be done is get shot of him and some of the gutless bastards who parade around on the pitch.

This absolutely, if they’d given it a right go from the off, the Vic would have been rocking, yet this manager and team have the ability to suck any hope from the fans, it’s like Groundhog Day the amount of times we’ve seen this game played over and over again

Today shouldn’t have even been about Harrison but following the result and lacklustre performance it’s inevitable. The biggest frustration for me was their goal scorer played for him at TNS. Surely he didn’t even need to do any homework on him?!

They expected to be cheered off as well. Magnay and Deverdics looked shocked at being booed off. Spineless set of bastards the lot of them.

Harrison's tactics and management of the game where awful.

The lads goals weren’t because we didn’t do homework on him. It was entirely down to pathetic defending. FFS he scored from our corner.

We were terrible. I don’t think it’s down to lack of effort. Definitely due to lack of ability. Too many Northern League standard players.

Hawkins, Adams, Woods, Rodney, Cassidy were inept. Utter utter shit

He used to play for TNS, you’d have thought Harrison might have known what his game was, shouldn’t have taken that much homework - clueless

Mr Harrison compounding the financial worries running in the background - your lack of footballing knowledge - tactical ineptness and inability to motivate has cost this club dearly on the pitch affecting attendances and monies spent on match days!
God only knows what salary you are being paid but clearly the club is being severely short changed in the results you are delivering.
Do everyone a favour and resign and hopefully something can be salvaged on the pitch from this disastrous fiasco of a season!

Given up on Harrison's ability to motivate long before Christmas . Every week the performances fail to improve or get worse. 18th in The National League hard to think there are 6 worse teams given that today. I usually applaud every week . I did not today for the first time, of those selected today the sheer effort put in to fill the ground,the support and publicitty the club's had still the vast majority of this team could not put on a decent show for the fans. Deverdics put himself about a bit and Magnay who looked about 70 percent fit at best had a bit of credit , Loach at least tries his best with a largely poor defence before him. The rest of them not fit to wear the shirt, I have defended most of this shower of shite and lost patients with Harrison etc so now. No pride, no passion if you can't lift yourself for the fans today then don't pretend to masquerade as a professional player,manager, coach etc. I only hope the takeover happens, the club's saved etc . Would rather limp out the season with a bunch of kids and get tanked every week than suffer more of this spineless shower going through the motions. It's getting painful to endure week in week out.

Perhaps he should have played some home grown reserves who are willing to play for nowt and would bust a gut and at least look as if they want to play, pride and the joy of playing for their home town, they can`t be any worse!

It wasn't just the players and Harrison.

We had the 'football family' supporting us and looking at us.

And what did we do? Did we seize the opportunity to get some youngsters wanting to come back? Some families thinking that it is a good afternoon out?

No, from Pam's embarrassing interview on Sky on Saturday morning - you know, you know, erm - with the hideously unattractive shots of all that is bad about the town, to the Vic.............

Massive queues to get in - early doors - had no one told the club that it might be a large gate.

To the queues for food and drink...........

Did anyone get a programme?

And sure, due to the inept masquerading as football coaches and players, the atmosphere (outside of the bar under the Mill House) was funereal.

I arrange my work diary around the fixture list and, sure enough, I'm finishing at 3:45pm in Chester on Tuesday............will I hang around for an exciting evening of pedestrian football or join the M62 teatime carpark? Answers on a postcard....

Yesterday was truly dispiriting.


The highlight yesterday? Craig Harrison's brother as a steward...........a true doppelganger..............

His twin was on the voice last night.

Commercialism is so poor, if you know guaranteed that 7,000 are going to turn up you surely should maximise sales of goods, programmes being prime example, so many people wanted one for the cover alone and could not get one.

I got in at 1.35 and had no lunch, went straight to the food cabin and shutter still down :roll:

For me Harrison and co are ‘overcoaching’ the players, for me they are confused by his tactics, they appear to do or try do every thing he tells me re every player in the box at set pieces etc.
Brian Clough was asked what tactics did he discuss with the team prior to them taking the field, his reply none, they are footballers I shouldn’t need to tell them.
In the press today it says the players are in for training today not for the first time, ffs part time football teams are playing us off the park. What is Harrison hoping too achieve, you can’t make a sow out of a pigs ear.

Modern genetic scientists could probably grow one, a kind of test tube sow. Still no chance of getting a silk purse though.

Got to ground at 2.15 Millhouse side, not a program seller anywhere even walked right across to other side , it was like where's Wally? ... but why should I think they would organise anything, my own common sense should have told me. they cant organise a pissup in a brewery, and where was wally, I should have realised, it was us mugs the supporters, who go through thick and thin. we were the Wallies/Mugs. banghead

'Relegation-threatened Solihull Moors extended their impressive unbeaten run to four matches with a convincing 3-0 win against Woking.'

The 4th relegation spot awaits Pools if Harrison is allowed to continue. As he hasn't done the decent thing and resigned by now, clearly he won't.
Solihull Moors have won 3 and drawn 1 of their last four matches and will do a Newport on us if things continue as they are (or get worse!).

I know nothing of the club's finances hence comment on football which is a results game. Surely the results over the last two months are telling us something about the manager and his view of how the game should be played in the National League.

Watched Spennymoor play Solihull Moors last weekend in the FA trophy ,Spennymoor won 2 0 and was not impressed with Sollihll Moors at all. I thought If that was us we would have lost as well. Spennymoor are a set of part timers in the National League North , no real standout players but gel as a team and play for each other. Reminiscent of us in the glory days of Humps,Tinks etc. Watching us yesterday there no team spirit, pride or coherence. Seen Spennymoor a lot the last few years when we are away and will be down there whilst we have no home game on they have progressed for far forward as we have gone backwards in the last 5 years.
