Tomorrow is the day the tide turns so i predict a 2-1 victory to Pools with a brace from Gray.
Crowd 3501 with 300 Dalers

Pools 4-2 Rochdale Dieseruvwe (2), Agyemang (2) - 3670 (270) in dream land.

Thought Rochdale could bring a few more.

0-2 to the Dale.

It may rain, it may not.

If they score first we're fooked.

What do you mean "if"?

Leading 2-0 half time Draw 2-2 full time. Rochdale miss a penalty

Time to be positive and back the lads. It has to come sometime so Pools 2 Rochdale 0. A fair ref and Josh to break the Town End net and it follows up with a Crawfs goal. Crowd 3,415 Rochdale 299. Took my oldest son to his first Pools game in 1994 and Pools won 2-0 against Rochdale and had a goal disallowed at the two sided stadium.

5-5 draw- ManiD all 5

5-3 up going into injury time and manage to snatch a draw from the jaws of victory and we miss a penalty with the last kick of the game- Hastie again- does a Chris Waddle and hits the international space station

2-1 Rochdale. More of the same.

Home Banker.
The start of a 20 game winning run.
7145
279 dalers.

If Josh ‘breaks the Town End roof’ on his current form it’ll be because he was doing some pre match repairs and fell through it.

actually today i,m more bothered about the performance and attitude the players show on the pitch. worse than a defeat would be a lucky win with em playing bad to just paper over the cracks.

Why bother.

Fair point!

Already one down. I guess we are well and truely fooked.

Umerah off injured too--goal was ridiculous!

Keep the faith. Plenty of time left.

Southend will be above us later today after having 10 points deducted. It's quite embarrasing really.

Probably wanting to get to Newcastle a bit earlier tonight.

ROchdale just passimng about at will

Not really a surprise when we have a midfield of Grey, Feather and Crawford our powder puff midfield

Askey been dealt a tough hand with injuries but a lot of this is self inflicted with his selections.

Only a matter of time before Rochdale score again--they dont have a huge budget and another manager who is out performing ours based on what we have

Dolan looks so far off it its embarassing, shouldnt be anywhere near a professional club

One way traffic pools looking a division of two below Rochdale - embarrassing

2-0 embarassingly simple

Hard to know what we are playing or doing--i think Askey may walk after this----we are looking at a relegation battle I think

I was about to say well at least its only one nil but then a second went in. Wondering if this could be a hammering of Torquay or Stockport proportions. It is fooking depressing.

There is a problem in the town end?

3 down...........oh dear!

3-0 pathetic

We are so slow and weak

Bring back Killip!

lets bot forget thye havent won in 5 games before this ffs

Oh bl00dy dear, the downward spiral goes on

We gunna win 4 3.
Shape up you doom merchants.
UTP.

Need to get Dolan off at half time

Apart from selection and tactics? It seems obvious that this lot are not playing for JA. Next match a fortnight's time and then off to York. He won't hang around to be humiliated at York.

3-1
doubt will make much diff

We are playing like a northern league team. I am afraid the writing is on the wall for Askey, I have stuck up for him but the team is so disjointed that I think relegation beckons. I think if we lose the next 2 or 3 games and we are just above the bottom 4 then he needs to resign, sorry I like the guy but he is like the last few managers and hasn’t got a clue.

Need Mani O on at half time & Jameson.

Dolan off--hope thats the last we see of him in a Pools shirt

We cant afford to sack Askey now.
And yet anutha quality decision from the OAPs Messiah.
Commentary team not happy with his programe notes.
Slateing the fans etc.

Its all deja vu. We warned what would happen but had little choice. Askey will be blamed for all this, yet only challinor has looked like any sort of manager under this regime.

As it stands now we joint lost the most games 10 in the division.
Hopefully August mite just skin us to 5th bottom.
UTP.

Dont wind them up Billy they detest that word REGIME.

We just have to somehow survive god knows how, but its looking a bit bleak.

Much better second half from pools TBF, Agymangnhas brought some effort and pace into the midfield

Askey has been dealt some shit cards this season. Its a real shame but I can't see him turning it round.

How much of it though, Rochdale have taken their foot off the gas. We still can't score, we need 10 attempt for 1 goal...what I'm watching, nothing has really improved... But Askey will be happy with the second 45', at least up to now we have conceded the 4th...

Lotto number 405

2-3 8 mins left

3-2 much bnetter in second half with Ayemang making a massive difference--bizarre he didnt start--nice cross from Hendrie!

Didn't see that coming
