While I think some are getting a little carried away by the frirst game…we beat a bottom 6 side 1 nil who missed an open goal in the last minute after our non replaced goalie and last years center back dropped a bollock…. I think we are playing Southend at the right time

Optimist in me (yes there is one) says 2-1 win, realist says 1-1 draw

2 2.

2- 0 both ManiD 4871

They had 1 chance and our defence dropped 1 clanger (Mani O not the keeper at fault). Meanwhile we had some decent chances and their keeper made some very good saves.
We looked comfortable throughout and even if they do finish bottom 6 they would have been right up for it.
You have a go at what you call not real fans on another thread, yet you never ever fail to find negatives in everything the club does.

Where did I have a go at ‘not real fans’……?

Change the bad attitude and let everyone express their own opinions.
It's a message board.
Not a lickarse of everything the club does is perfect.
Shape up

I would say Yeovil Mid Table at least, 1 shot on target whole game.

No bad attitude from me just doing what you say everyone is allowed to do and voicing an opinion. And guess what no hint of arse licking in anything I've said.
Is everything rosy? I'd say not but there's certainly a chunk of brightness broken through the clouds maybevacsign of better times maybe not. But that was most definitely a comfortable win by any standards, what was it 80 odd minutes before they got a shot on target - sounds more like us over the last few seasons.

Tough game against a team I expect to be top three come end of season. Id settle for 2-2, 4900 there

Where did I have a go at 'not real fans' ?

Think they will be the best side we play this month, but likely at their weakest currently as still putting a team together

I'm a real fan. 3-1 win to us. Mmm I can taste the success of promotion potential. Those who can't lack any form of ambition and are content with mediocrity.

On 2nd thoughts 4-1

1-0

Apologies Loyal mixed you up with someone else re the not real fans bit.

Pools to win 3-0

Mani D, Campbell & Mancini cameo off the bench

No worries

1-1 att 4350 350 from darn south.

0-1 to them and hope being negative becomes a positive.

agree we are playing them at the right time before they muster a very good team together and probably finish above us.

I think we will have too much for them at home - they wont want to be coming up here as they know we are more than up for it.

DS will have them figured out and tbh they have not really got any outstanding players to be cautious of. Keep that forward at bay and stop him getting service and we should be just fine - either way we score more than them and win the game

After a week without a mid-week game, Pools should be capable of putting in a strong performance to impress the fans.
2-0 home win. Mani D to open his account.

3-0 to pools. Mani D, Charman and Campbell

Just wondered if anyone was interested in today's match.

2-1 Pools Phythian and Gill.

Well I am extremely looking forward to our 1st home game. If other supporters are not excited maybe it's time to take up ping pong

It's only early doors but 3 points today can really push us on to a promotion challenge. Come on Sarll Come on Pools lets have it.

Commentary will be on Tees FM as well as DAB as the Boro game kicks off at 12.30, it will also be online as the Olympics are finished.

This is one of the games our superior fitness will make the biggest difference between 1 point and all 3 points. UTP
