There cannot have been a more loathed boss in 116 years of Pools history - he surely has to go. That team selection/performance/result absolutely exposed Sarll's managerial limitations more than if Sutton had cruised to a 5-0 win.

If any one thinks we are going to walk over Brackley, Think again.

Gate 3400 same as last home game with less away supporters.

How he could pick that starting eleven for a home game is beyond belief. He is without doubt the worst manager imaginable. As mentioned earlier, the second half performance with Mani D, Gray and Mancini proves that he is way off beat, not a brilliant user of subs.

I have mates in Southend who I met 10yrs or so back and some stay in touch. I just got a message from one of them pleading to sell us the " best player in National lge " because despite owners / plenty of dosh / and new signings they are really struggling. He said grab Sarll by the lapels and shake him really hard because it's criminal what he is doing with Mancini. The bloke is adored by the Sarfend fans all based on his incredible performance in the 3-2 win at roots hall last season. And like he said if a player can run the show and ooze past good players for fun in the way Mancini did its easy to understand that player is quality although only that one game it's remembered by them big style and he is the most talked about want to be signing. He said its a bit like being a young daft lad again and having a drop dead gorgeous girlfriend but going on the piss with your mates and inevitability losing her to someone else and ending up marrying a much less attract woman. I said foook off to selling Mancini but how about we swap managers instead and the answer was " would rather support Colchester United or put wasps up my arse " despite the fact their manager is currently really struggling they are a proper football club like us and support managers or players who are having a difficult time especially when their manager has a lot of credit in the bank.

We won't walk over them but instead out play them.

Should of been sacked before the match for picking that line up. All our best players on the bench. Just get out of our club.

But wont Manni and Joe need a rest

I give you Martin Scott. aka Scooty out courtesy of our very own Mr Mutley.

Sarll is clueless but Mr Burns should be nowhere near a football bench at his grand old age of 1076.

Spot on Loyal Charman is not a centre fwd that's why he plays as as winger

Waterworks is simply not good enough now and well
past his sell by date. He should only be used when needed for injuries/ suspensions. I think most of us prefer Sass-Davies and Parksy who are both incredibly consistent. I honestly have not seen Sass-Davies make any real mistakes in any games and quite the opposite infact. That late tackle today was outstanding and he should now be kept in the defence. Parksy is a superb defender and leader who should be given the captaincy immediately, thats a promotion that I believe would make him even better. We still desperately need a left back because Ferguson is finished at this level but might get a game at Spennymoor. If Ferguson was a race horse he would be shot.

What a time to score his first professional hattrick. He now starts every game no matter what are you actually listening Sarly or new manager.

But only if clueless Sarll is still in charge which I don't believe will happen.

These days professional footballers are pampered needing to rest 23 of out 46 game seasons.

Do you think he's going to be shown the Emergency Exit soon. I really hope so

Sunderland have just played 3 games in 6 days with(i think) an unchanged team, Snarll,s a liar.

Be careful Gray you are calling a proper hard man a liar.

Sarll started him more centrally today

Just looked at the league table n amazingly we only 5 pts from play offs.
After a terrible sequence of results it just emphasises how absolutely shit standard this division is.
Time for the players to totally ignore Sarlys game plan n just play grass pass football. Only solution because it doesn't look like he's exiting Pools any time this side of Xmas.
UTP.

A good result against Sutton please don't let this result let the idiot manager keep his job

Two very similar teams out there yesterday, both defences big, slow and vulnerable.

The game changed when we started playing football. Thankfully we still have a few players capable of doing that in Featherstone and Mancini and a striker capable of finding the net in Mani. Great work by Feathers for the last goal, I’d give him the managers job on a trial basis…

Did the players rebel at half time and told DS how the team would play?
He is a dead man walking.

I was moaning before feather crossed that he took too long and didn’t need to beat the man twice…..sorry Nicky and well done

He’s already said he hated the game , he’ll be back to coaching hoofball into them come Monday

the best managers use the best players available and the best tactics available with them. the ones who get the sack quickest are ones who demand a certain type of football to be played even if players are not comfortable playing that way. Even the so called defensive midfielders we did sign would not have been in a side that played sarll ball before but part of the whole team that played average football. You cannot have a team of mancini.s but cannot have one of 10 hunters or sherons on the pitch either. there are too many cracks and too little paper about to paper over them. thing is he,ll be around next saturday and another win will keep him around the club longer than necessary.

Anyone with any football knowledge whatsoever could see our strengths from last season, ie Mani D Grey Mancini outstanding offensive players, and built on that by strengthening the midfield and defence.
Those 3 should be starting every game, look at the difference the 3 of them made yesterday.
It was also clear as night and day, and has been all season, defenders just love playing against long ball tactics. Get the ba on the ground and we've got enough technically good players to cause any team real problems in this league.

Problem with winning yesterday is we will have to endure his ridiculous management style for another month or so. No doubt with some more dreadful results incoming.

Excellent short term fix

Shooting practice game next week if he finally Swallow his selfish pride.

And reverts to our best players starting in their best positions playing grass pass Football.

Maybe 3rd time lucky after the 2nd half's of Boston n Sutton.

It ain't Rocket Science is it
FFS.

Anyone in this league would have Mancini and mani D in the first team and almost anyone grey

Our team has the personnel to play attacking football and this half-wit prefers ‘battlers and fighters’ like Sloggett, Sheron and charman every time.

It’s practically sabotage and it needs to stop

I thought Charman had a decent game yesterday, strangely even though we conceded 3 I thought Sass Davies was very good too, as was Sherron in the ball winning aggressive midfield role. All the subs were good, but to be fair we started the second half with the team that should have started the game.
Thought the keeper was dodgy yesterday, Waterfall should be dropped next week, and Dodds had his worst game for Pools.
Will Mr Evolution actually see what we all see and allow his team to play to their strengths or will it be back to kick and rush next week?

He aint going to change, Wanna know why.
Because he knows best, And our knowledge of football can fit on a stamp.

Sarl was forced into changes Robinson had been booked so the last thing we needed was a second yellow, Madine was injured. If neither had happened no way would he have subbed either of, a very fortunate manager.

Agree

Spot on.

Let me be the 1st to say a 5-0 win ManiD hattrick again, Mancini and Grey. How about that for a prediction our Kev.

I was one of two people if memory serves that said keep Featherstone because it's a no brainer given his experience at lower levels. The other was Mr. Hogans I believe but I went a step further and said keep him and give him part player part coaching role. So yes I agree he would be a good short-term fix and possibly even the next manager with the Gucky as backup.

Now stop talking sense, Its not the Snarll way

Featherstone Cares, I saw that after the match when Sarll was shaking players hands, Don,t think Feathers was impressed.

looking at the goals again, while any goal you can point to a mistake, there were some really poor ones from both sides perspective

Sutton manager must be seriously pissed about mani's first 2 in terms of just attacking the ball, and sutton 2nd and 3rd from our point of view were appalling---so Sarll right about that, but what he misses is we got those chances/sutton mistakes from playing football, they obviously got shook up when we started passing and were so comffortable when it was just hoof ball to their number 3 all first half...i'd like to thin Sarll understands the nuance but i doubt it

If he had not gone to the bench, God knows what would have happened, Cause Snarll was and is clueless.
Did Ole Lennie not go to the bench at half time V Boston?

Sutton Manager point of view.

He's man enough to admit he got his half time tactics wrong regarding the shape n formation.

So will probably learn from that unlike our manager.

Says our 2nd half subs changed the game,
No shit a 20+ goal striker (I know he came on late 2nd half) and the most creative midfielder we have had in donkeys years may just do that, imagine how we’d do if they started and we played to their strengths !

must be the first time i can ever think of where fans are totally united on a subject. there isn,t even a crank coming on saying something they do not believe to wind others up or cause a longer discussion.

Will they sweep the 1st half under the carpet, Won,t they

It was utter shite.

well only a fool would, but nowt will surprise me at pools this season. ok it was a matter of inches when we did score and a couple of them either way could have meant the goals never came but at least give that team another couple of chances as there is nothing much to lose.

We risk loosing said players if this dim wit keeps benching them too ! Mancini comes on does a master class (as always) and then gets benched for some U21 Derby kid ... Speechless he must be raging inside.

Sarly proving himself totally hopeless. Mr.Burns just goes for 20 / 30 pisses a game then forgets who he is and where he is then just sits down on the nearest seat. All he is thinking about is did he miss " Boro " scoring while he was at the loo. What does confuse him is he cannot remember Boro changing to blue n white kit. When ManiD scored his first Mr. Burns could be heard shouting great finish Slaven come on Boro let's have it
