The crowd surprised me, I thought it would be our first sub 3k crowd of the season, amazing that our fans are sticking by the team, especially as our home form has been abysmal.

The crowd was significantly less in the second half, their loss though for leaving, we were a different team.

Couldn't agree more - and that's down to the managers decisions. His habit of starting with a team that (even my mam can see) isn't our strongest - then waiting until half time to sort it out is getting REALLY F*ING annoying. It's like his tactics are - start weaker than we could be, see how that goes then bring on a trump at some point to turn it around. It worked sometimes last season with Wes Mcdonald but it's been a bloody long while since it has worked (and we don't have a Wes anymore).

So just START with your best available team (Basically the second half team) and tell them what you expect them to do. We've seen by now that the standard of even the weak teams in this league is enough to easily beat us if we don't give 100% right from the start.

Yesterdays attendance was larger than that of half of the EFL L2 clubs which is amazing given the abysmal recent form with many of the players lazily representing the club, seemingly not giving a toss about their personal pride let alone the fans, the manager or the Chairman. Disgusting.

Only 1800 at Forest Green, 2k Betty's Boys and Accrington, - granted the first two are hobby clubs but still really annoying refred

That match brilliantly highlighted our problem, a manager who can’t manage this team…sorry, but I’ve lost faith in the bloke.

Kev, I don’t like to see anyone fail, ….but he’s obviously shuffling the cards and hoping….. never a good sign.

do you really think if we had double that figure in the vic for every game things would be much different as they are now.

Absolutely definitely because that would mean the club would be running to its Potential. As Billy reminds us that opportunity was there 2 years ago.
A missed opportunity for sure which looks a million miles away now.
Zero to do with different views on a MB like.

A ground bouncing 5000 to 5500 fans a great manager, club making money, for the first time in years. Only at pools could they then decide to detroy it within months. Wonder who made them decisions? Mmmmm.

Afraid i,ve got to agree.
Looking at it in the cold light of day, I can,t for the life of me understand whats going to change before the next game.
The only thing that would give me a glimmer of hope is if we brought in at least 3/4 decent players
Don,t have to be efl players, But players with a bit about them.

And FFS take the arm band of Fergie(like the lad) he,s not captain material.

For some reason only beknown to Raj, Thinks we can make the playoffs, Not a cat in hells chance as things stand.

For some reason we don,t know about the players looked lost first half saturday, These are not novices yet thats what they looked liked.
Askey keeps saying the players are not listening to him, SO why expect them to suddenly start ?

And for FFS get rid of the 5 3 2 system.

Where are we supposed to get these 3/4 decent players. They will only be shite free agents available now.
Its that cheap n nasty route which played a majoe part in our relegation as KC Dident get the targets he thort in The January Window.
Not saying i rated him for one moment like.
We more or less stuck with what weve got unless we magic up a super loanie or 2.
Take 5th bottom now. 6 points buffer zone is no comfort as we near bottom of the form guide.

The half-time changes were one player - Dolan off, Agyemang on. Hardly the wholesale changes that you are implying.

Agyemang was poor on Tuesday night at Halifax and got hooked early. Nowt wrong with starting with two up front and Grey just behind in a home game, but Umerah got injured after a couple of minutes.

Dolan has had a couple of OK cameos as a late sub but was always a risk as a starter - he makes Peter Hartley last season look quick! Manny O in for the injured Lacey would have been more logical - unless what someone suggested is true and Manny is struggling with a knee injury. Bad timing shipping Burton and Pruti out if that is true.

Unless ya mean we buy them from this division.
Doubt that route will happen.

The second half comeback didn't happen then? Should have finished 3-3.

Pools have terrible habit of conceding really bad early goals that knock them back on their heels. The first two on Saturday were pathetic mistakes from a keeper whose positioning lets him down time and again.

Goodlad, the Assistant Manager, is a goalkeeping coach. It's infuriating how we managed to sign such no-marks to replace Killip when we keep seeing opposition keepers having blinders against Pools .

Well if she does I will not be attending. When I attend home games I want to be free to choose what part of the ground I want to view from. I have been watching games from my preferred " special spot " in the townend since Gibson stopped us using the rinkend. The club simply do not care enough about its supporters and fail to grasp what a certain spot in the ground means to a hell of a lot of us. rakxe

When has a football club cared about its fans, The Leagues don,t care, The FA don,t care, fifa don,t care, uefa don,t care.

Only fans care about football.

he might have been poor at halifax but seaman made him look international class in that game. the bigger shock was him staying on the pitch for the second half. we must have had others having a nightmare game but he put that down to a lower standard.

because they are the only ones who are there for life and not just a contract. it will hurt the fans when things go wrong more than anyone else at the club.

If it does not hurt the players, They should be made to hurt.
