Different week, different manager same old shite. We conceded a goal with 8 of our players in the box. Didn’t get tight enough. Hartley just hoofs the ball forwards anywhere. We look like a poor northern league side. What’s up with Umerah. Sorry I joined the action late. I bet our new manager didn’t know how bad we are!

For an experienced defender at this level Hartley looks like he's lost all his composure and distribution qualities, we will continue conceding sloppy goals if this is not rectified, not sure if it can be though with someone so late in their career.

I think if anything should give us at least hope is that the manager may get the chance to use these players.

Sterry,Dodds,Lacey,Crawford,Cooke,Umerah.

In over 60 years of supporting pools i have never known so many injuries i know sterry at the moment has completed his suspension i just get the feeling he plays on Saturday comes off early is then out for 3 weeks seems a common theme throughout pools squad.

At our level, with the restrictions imposed by financial fair play, size of squads, transfer windows etc., injuries and suspensions play a massive part but it does seem that our injury experience this season does appear to be extraordinary, to say the least. Our luck on that front needs to change dramatically and quickly as it is destroying team consistency and continuity.

If we go down then it wont be down to injuries.
12 games to go.
6 wins keeps us up you would of thought.

Dont think we capable of that so totally relying on mega favours from the teams playing
Rochdale
Crawley
Harrogate.
Starting tonite.
Harrogate v Northampton
Tranmere v Crawley.
UTP.

By all accounts pre season was an absolute shocker, with every player looking miles off it (not just ability wise) well into the season. Could be a reason for our injury issues with very little fitness/conditioning being done until we were playing 2 games a week

Injuries this season has been like none i have ever seen - some are clearly hiding behind the bruises and bumps and quite frankly its not good enough or professional enough at this level - its just speaks volumes to me on the due diligence when it came to recruiting some of these lads. Plus their characters - shocking isnt the word for some !

but regardless of that we have had some really bad players in the back 4 - add the injuries we had to Mayo, Sterry and Lacey etc and we have just fallen apart - hence our league position. its PH fault for all of this (i know Raj signed him but i don't care) - he brought the shite in thinking they could compete - he also only brought in a lack lustre number of defenders after loosing Timi and Lidds. Man was a clueless buffoon who thankfully will go down in pools history as one of our worst ever managers - i hope he's had many a sleepless night during his time here !

Askey now has to realise and unfortunately address the mess hes left with at the back ! Hartley is poo and Dolan doesnt really do a job there either, for me this will be our downfall should Crawley decide to start somehow winning all their games in hand - could end up being a right funny season end this... i reckon there is another win incoming with maybe another dramatic draw away but we are always going to be looking over our shoulders at Crawley and i can see it going down to one point with them, as it did with Newport that time !

we have never had a full squad to pick from all season. At least one other club, stockport are in the same position. are both unlucky or is it the same throughout the leagues at all clubs. makes everything a complete lottery when you add suspensions on top of this and the league telling you how many players you can actually sign and when you can do it. yes, its really improved what they call matchday experiance. can anyone imagine in any other business some body telling you the maximum number of employees you can have and when you can recruit.
