Doing well to keep Barnet out. I'd take 0-0 now.

BTW...wtf is it with foreign players and gloves???

cant fault that....nowt wrong with Barnet goal like

that young save was amazing, but he prob shold have been coming for the cross earlier.

Everyone put a shift in and at least its a point.

Happy with a draw. Both teams final ball poor. Not many teams will beat Barnet. Well done Pools. Good defensive display

Anyone know why their goal chalked off. Didn’t see anything wrong with it.

Back to Back home wins still a major problem.

Next 2 league games has to be 6 pts.

Really good point that. The referee was absolutely awful. On the bright side a lot of his crap decisions went our way. Parks getting a yellow for the tackle of the season so far about sums up how crap the official was.

Kabamba celebrating like he'd scored the winner in a world cup final for about two minutes after his goal had been disallowed (because Brad Young fell over an attacking player) was brilliant.

It was always gonna be so against Barnet.

A decent point and the last week has been a big improvement on the last manager. Unfortunately we cant forever say they are decent points were going to have to win these games at some point in the next year or two if we want to win play offs or the league.

Thought we had a couple of spells when we got the ball down and played football but quickly reverted to launching it long especially from the keeper who's kicking is shockingly bad.
A hard fought point and we rode our luck at times. Thought mom had to be one of the back 4 mind, they all played well today. Hopefully see Sheron in his best position next week as I think a lack of mobility in our midfield helped Barnet quite a bit.

I thought Hunter looked off the pace, and I agree with you about Sheron getting back there.
I thought Mancini was a joy to watch when he came on, he's unbelievably talented.

I totally agree about Mancini he looks ready to start games and looks back to his best. A draw was a fair result but if Mancini had played from the start I reckon we might have nicked it. Also think Lau Lau is playing superb, him and Mancini glide past players. They have unbelievable talent at this level and must surly both get a start soon.

Harsh on Joe Grey but Lua Lua needs to be starting on left wing, better all round player than Joe in that position.
Also think Fev needs to be taken out of the side the last couple of games he's not really featured and today he was very weak defensively as our midfield was overwhelmed.
Might as well give Mani D a rest too if we're going long ball as our main attacking option.

Would expect the front 4 all to be rotated for trophy game and waterfall feather and Ferguson to be given a breather, could see 7
Or 8 changes easily

It's not the worst point Pools will pick up this season. If Kabamba had been fit enough to start the game Barnet would probably have been out of sight at half time.

Pretty even second half though and could have gone our way if Lennie had been more ambitious with his substitutions. He followed exactly the same blueprint as for the Fylde game - Lua Lua on for Grey around the 60 minute mark and then Mancini on for Charman with less than 20 minutes left!

It's not just that Mancini deserves more game time - he's a natural Number 10 and should have replaced Campbell, not Charman. Campbell covers a lot of ground but can't tackle to save his life - ditto Mancini, but the Frenchman has the ability to go past defenders like they're not there, something Campbell can't do. Him and Charman running at Barnet's defence would have been a good watch.

It's an odd one - under Sarll Campbell couldn't get on the pitch - now apparently he has to play every minute of every game...

The official attendance was 3,604 - about 400 more than were in the ground again. Must be a lot of season ticket holders who can't be arsed to go!

Less than 50 Barmet supporters, what a joke for top of the league club. Easy enough travel by train too.

I doubt Joe will play for a while after today. Someone mentioned he has a double hernia and when he came off he had a massive ice pack down his shorts.

Think the anouncer said 75 - not that it changes your point.

Rail closures.
In order to do it by train from Barnet, it would have meant a six hour journey involving 5 trains and two replacement buses.
BTW, the radio commentary gave the number of Barnet fans as 88. If I had a hat, I'd take it off to them.

See a lot of comments about Barnets crowds on social media. They always have been and always will be a poorly supported club regardless of what league or position they are in. Fair play to the ones that went

Lets not beat around the bush the away following for a club at the top of the league is embarrasing. Clubs way smaller than barnet have brought more than that. They must have a chairman with a lot of money. Cracking little team though, they wont be far away.

Best side we have played this season
Set up v much like conte had Chelsea playing 5-2-2-1 and to think
They were missing Kambaba Kanu and Chapman …
Pretty sobering when only 1 goes up direct

I thought he said 48 from Barnet which looked about right? Still even 88 is piss poor, mind they had 1500 at home to Woking last week.

But 88 fans did manage none the less.

How many Pools were there, the Town End looked very sparse, I think there is currently a lot of apathy among the Pools fans, we need to string a few wins together to tempt 5hem back.

Bound to be after the start we had, the ridiculously high prices of season tickets for a deprived northern town was always going to kill crowds this season.The ground will look sparse the millhouse holds close to 4000 so crowds will be about right, certainly not fiddled as in days gone by. The managerial choice was hardly going to put bums on seats either, what you cant deny though is they are slowly turning the season around, or is it just a new managers bounce. They havent had the piss easy games sarl blew

joe grey seems to be put in his position as they want him to play but he,ll never be a left winger. as a team we looked far better with mancini and lua lua on hope charman is not going to live off the solihull game as for me take his industry and enthusiasm out he provides very little for me. feathers was hardly in the game and hunter looked knackered after 2 games in a week coming back from a longish injury. an interesting rather than exciting match with a fair result with them unable to break us down and pools not having the ability to do it to them. its not the 2 points dropped yesterday thats the problem its the ones dropped in games we should have won that could hurt us. should have 6 more points on the board thanks to sarll, his tactics and the sendings off that i also blame him for.

could see nothing at the game but in the highlights one of their players took brad yoiung out when he went for the ball. poor ref who throught the game found fouls on defenders much easier than the other way round. if he had any guts he,d admit to his mistake on the parkes caution in his report.

Thought they both did ok defensively but Pools' midfield was hardly in the game in attack. There was a hell of a lot of hoofball from Brad Young, a lot of it straight to their keeper or out of play! Not sure why but Lennie and the brains trust seem to have made the decision to go long more in recent games - it was the same against Fylde.

For me Sheron has more to offer in midfield than as a full back - he's good at both jobs but has been missed in the middle of the park, so I hope Dan Dodds comes straight back into the team now he's done his suspension.

Maybe Campbell had a hand in Snarlls sacking.

Could be - he definitely lost the dressing room weeks before he got the bullet.

According to the Barnet forum it was a 6 hour trip each way and 5 train changes ( flooding ). Would still expect cars and mini buses to travel and many more than 50.

Charman gets in some great area's but his final ball really needs working on. He's strong and fairly quick just wish he'd look up when he's putting the ball in!

Regarding the ref. I think we were lucky to get away with disallowed goal. Watched it a couple of times and I would have been disappointed if it had been us.

Since LL & Co have been in charge i have been very impressed by the progress.
UTP

I fucking hate it when Pools supporters slag off smaller clubs supporters numbers and attendances!!!
Remember when we were playing the likes of Leeds, Sheffield Wed, Southampton, QPR etc etc and they were saying it was our Cup Final playing them, calling us a tin pot club etc we were fuming about it!!
No need at all!!!

I’ll agree with you on everything except the ‘deprived northern town’ stuff…there’s money there alright…maybe it was more to do with continuing stagnation that puts people off…on and off the pitch, although there’s a chink of light showing.

Barnet have always been a poorly supported team and hats off to the 80 odd who attended Pools. The difference when Pools play at their place is there are quite a good few supporters who live down south where as I doubt there are many Barnet fans in this area.

Well sooner rather than later this shit has to end otherwise its NL forever.

I share your frustration.

Our talent needs to improve quickly our pts accumulation.
2 wins in a row every blue moon won't bring success.

It's time to kick on its nearly the half way point of a supposedly promotion season.

Win next 3 should get us on track.
Ambition some have it n a few don't.

UTP.

Thought 1st half we did quite well, can't remember a shot on target.
2nd half they moved up a gear and were well on top for most of the half. Central midfield went missing in action and imo we definitely need Sheron back in there to allow more creative option than Fev who looks as if he's hit a wall and is struggling to have a presence for the full 90 minutes in the last 3 or 4 games (admittedly we've played some of the better teams in the div).
Don't understand at all why Young kicks everything long, we've got a striker on the bench who thrives on that but Mani is better with ball to feet (so are most of our payers come to think of it). Why not play to our strengths instead if this so easy to defend against approach? Surely Lua Lua has to be let loose from the start of games now if we're going to start playing to win rather than not lose.

even without the exiles in attendance pools and other northern clubs take more fans down south than they do coming up north especially as a percentage of the average number of fans in a home game.
