Maybe Lennie is the teacher?

Our passing was a bit wayward today from certain players just a kick and hope.

No matter what keeper we seem to play their kicking is very poor.

Today rested on 2 gilt edge chancers for Campbell and he missed both of them overall 2 points dropped.

1st game I've missed in over 2 years...been working over and never got in till about 4.20pm...still had the dodgy stick on while I was in the bath though.
Still can't master the Alan Partridge magic with mirrors whilst in the bath but can still watch the telly. Just had the telly on loud...not the same.
Did I miss owt'??

Draw away and win at home and we will easily make the playoffs. Beat Yeovil at home on Saturday and we remain completely on track.

An absolutely dire bore fest by both sides. Neither deserved the 3 points, and I'm not even sure either deserved 1. We're off to York next game, so that should be a easy 3 points for us. And, as is normal in this League, the ref was pretty much appalling for the whole 94 minutes. Enjoy your Christmas break guys and good luck for the rest of the season.

Best wishes.

That's both games in the league finished 0-0. Bound to be a goal feast when we meet next in the play-offs

Lennie to the surprise of no one happy with a point and the teams performance

Doesn’t want any new signings and happy with his squad and we are being successful apparently

We are having the piss took out of us by a chairman and manager with zero ambition

That's a lovely thought, but we will have to improve considerably to reach that point.

Neither of those sides making the playoffs, maybe we beat yeovil but then it will be no wins in 3 vs oldham Barnet and Gateshead and back to the grind

I hope I am wrong

Agree 100% LF, Lenny is indeed taking the piss if he seriously believes that the Pools squad as it stands is man enough for a play-off challenge. What is the point of squeezing into the play-offs if we cannot compete on something approaching the level of the likes of York, Barnet, Gateshead ie whoever doesn’t active automatic promotion? There is an opportunity coming up to do some wheeling and dealing, shed some the fringe players and add a bit of much needed quality that could make the difference between simply making an appearance in the play-offs or having a realistic chance of actually gaining promotion via that route.

All very cosy isn’t it ? Raj gives his mate a bit extra cash until season end while Lennie doesn’t agitate for anymore investment…along they plod happy with treading water as the club makes its home as a non-league regular

I am surprised at the fans apathy…we aren’t much but we are a football league club ffs and we are accepting Raj running us into the ground with incompetence with barely a whimper

Having stopped the rotten stench of failure that was brewing under the wretched Sarll regime, Lenny has some kudos and has put brownie points in the bank at the present time. However if he doesn’t now push Raj hard for the funding of a REALISTIC promotion push then the efforts of Lenny and his team will count for absolutely nothing.

In fairness I could have nipped into the Vic and curled one out in the home dugout and that would have been an improvement on Sarlls management

If Pools by some miracle get promoted they will need massive investment Singh doesn’t have the cash to do that or they will come straight back down again, all we can hope for is a take over with who ever prepared to inject cash into the club.

At the moment it's not even about cash it's football. Sheron is desperately needed back in midfield, Hunter is nowhere near the player he is. Dodds, Mancini, Lua Lua are 3 of the best players at the club but we don't use them enough. 5 subs allowed and we rarely use any for more than 10 minutes. Mani D isolated up front is a joke, you don't win matches if you don't score goals. Stop treating every opposition team as if they're Barcelona and play to our strengths (and that's definitely not defending).

There's no ambition within the club.
Chairman down to manager n players.

It's a holiday camp easy wages.
Final payday for the majority.

Struggling to compete in division 5 is an absolute disgusting embarrassment situation.

And now it filters down to the fans as well were a fair few think the club is in progress mode.

The club finally died yesterday with that 2nd half of everything that is wrong with the club.

Anutha major drop off in support next season means we fucked up this last chance saloon season big style.

RIP HUFC

Seasons by no means finished, we only 4 points off play offs despite Sarlls goofball, and Lennies backs to the wall approach.
We need 6 points minimum from next 4 games, all against current top 7 sides. 2 wins better than 4 draws with clean sheets Lennie!

And its muppets like you just encouraging yet more Failurism.
Got ya Sarly excuse in.
Quality.
We've already dropped 4 pts from the last 2 and your happy to drop a massive 6 from the next 4.

Like a said the ambition levels create failure.

Yeah let's just plod along in non-league.

I was really busting to come out of boycott mode. On 1st March.
Simple task of being in the top 7 on that date.

Still will if fairytales are true.

Bad fan me like.
Ambition levels are disgusting wanting to compete in division 5.

Not all bad though.
Look outside what a mint sunrise.

Glad someone else noticed this.
Just maybe he's slightly overated.

Part timer.
Ya missed us been shit again.

No excuses about Sarll, it's called blame - and if you don't apportion any blame to him then you must be totally thick.
And I didn't say I'd be happy at 6 points did I? What I said was we need 6 points MINIMUM from the next 4. No happy words there at all, 6 points will keep us in touch thars all.
Before dissing people's statements, it's always worth actually reading what they say, not what you think they say, or what you twist their words to say.
As for ambition, there's plenty of it around the fans although our ambition is rarely met by the club throughout our history. Are we happy about that, ot at all, but as we can't control it we have to accept it. We should be far higher in thus league right now but for the ineptitude of management from the start of the season up to today. The Trophy capitulation was as bad as anything under the last half dozen managers and Lennie should've had a new arsehole torn in him by Raj, but from yesterday's performance it obviously didn't happen.

I suspect he aint the player he was since his injury……or has a cob on about not being in the team….. but surely you take those opportunities to prove you are worthy of a place.

He took his opportunity on Tuesday night we're he stood out as being the only proper player on the pitch. But you get into our team on graft alone not ability. To expect him to come on for 10 or 15 minutes and change games is ridiculous, look at what happened when he brought our best scorer on Tuesday cold to take a penalty.
Plus he played on the right on Tuesday, Lennie in his wisdom brought him on to play on the left yesterday. Is he trying to make him look bad? Lua Lua for Grey was the obvious replacement, the right back had Joe in his pocket through sheer strength. Mancini for Charman on the right, or even Campbell through the centre.
Mancini was f*cked after 60 mins on Tiesday, but he's not going to gain match fitness sat on his arse every Saturday. Start him and bring him off when he tires should help him get back up to full fitness, he's lost none of his ability.

Judging from Lennie's comments about the lack of 'end product' from Mancini he needs goals and assists to get into the team. Not easy when you're not even on the pitch for a quarter of the game!

More than a bit harsh when only Mani is scoring regularly out of the four attacking players who start every league game. Apart from Charman they're not getting any assists either.

4 to 5 Defenders marking MannyD our of the game with this 1 up front bollocks.
Ya can't blame him if he declines a new contract.

Like Molyneux etc.

We fcuked.

spot on. we have actually only lost one more game than league leaders barnet to show where the problem lies. getting a single point against a team below us in the league might excite lenny but not me when we are still playing catch up with our next three games against teams higher in the league than us. keep having to check and check the table after listening to him bum them up to expect them to be leading the bunch. waterfall not much better who seems to be all about the clean sheet and would be upset if we won 4-3.

You need an ambition upgrade.

didn,t he leave halifax for what he stated as non football by their tactics. its not as if we have no single option to play with just 1 up top. at his age i,d get away as quickly as possible to a side who thinks the best form of defensive is attack and not the other way round.

PTID calling you thick!!!

No I need a manager and team to live up to my ambition, unfortunately the times it's happened over my lifetime have been few and far between. But hopefully not finished yet.

Nice compliment

But I didn't call anyone thick did I?
I said you must be thick if you don't apportion any blame to Sarll, and I'm pretty sure KPG doesn't absolve Sarll from all responsibility for results whilst he was manager.
So Mr Muttley, simply shit stirring or incapable of reading and understanding sentences???

You must be thick if you think you never called anyone thick.

That answers my question.

What was the question?

picture the scene on christmas day when lenny has the grandkids round. one young un asks him how do you win a football match. his reply would be the team wins who lets in the least goals as the other.

Against Tamworth he was unplayable He proved in that game he is fit focused and ready to start. Problem is Mr.Burns puts Campbell & Charman and others infront of our best player.

problem for mancini and anybody like him they were born years too late. now workrate, following systems and clean sheets are seen as above flair. there is no place for players who have a flash of magic to change games but love a player who does nothing but run around like headless chickens and provide sod all but enthusiasm and the ability to follow orders.

If you're really done with Mancini we'll reluctantly take him off your hands. After all, it is nearly Christmas, peace. goodwill and stuff. no need to thank us.

Campbell missed another wide open goal. He was 3 yards out with a wide open goal with only one player on the far post and he somehow hit the player. It's the worst miss I can remember in a long time.

"Campbell missed another wide open goal. He was 3 yards out with a wide open goal with only one player on the far post and he somehow hit the player. It's the worst miss I can remember in a long time"

Thats exactly what i thought Leggie, Until it was pointed out on twitter Their keeper actually scopped the ball off the line.
Having said that he definitely should have scored.

Mind you Campbell helped in getting rid of Snarll, So i,ll let him off.

He will likely go at the end of the season and some on here will be genuinely surprised when he is a massive success

Lawrence doesn’t seem bothered about trying to tweak the side to accommodate him too much hard work, would much rather let his coaches take training and copy paste the same team selection week after week

i,m sure he,d allow him to go to you in exchange for any defensive minded player you have on the books.
