Had chance to win 4 games, never had so many chances since he’s been boss, how we didn’t win he doesn’t know etc
Bizarrely claimed we should have won 4-0 ???
What utter shite !

Up until when Braintree scored they were absolutely the better side (especially 1st half) and deserved to be ahead.

Yes we created after they scored mainly because they were a poor side who just panicked and went into their shells when 1 up but a point was the most we deserved and we were lucky to get it

That's why he shouldn't be anywhere near the team, he actually believes we played well. Not from what I saw. We were clueless, shapeless, lazy, and only a few can take credit from that game. We all know Mani's head us somewhere else, Fergy isn't good enough, Fev isn't mobile enough, Sheron is better in midfield than full back, Dodds has regressed, and Charman is way over his level, but Auld Len persists with the same old same old. First half especially was an absolute embarrassment. Got to feel for the hardy soils who travelled over 1000 miles this week to watch that shit.

Don't want to sound contrary, but I think Lennie is right. We had the best chances, hit the woodwork three times, one goal ruled out for god knows what reason. Could have had four quite easily. Soz for not moaning.

Most of our chances were when we were one down, they were all over us in first half, missed a sitter in first 5 minutes and had one cleared off the line….this wasn’t ’one Of those games’ were we were miles better but couldn’t score, we struggled again against a bunch of part timers

We still had the better chances, and should have won comfortably. I know it's the fashion to slag the club off at every opportunity, but we should and could have won quite comfortably.
Yeah, we drew , is it going to spoil my steven seagal film? No . Will I still be optimistic going into the Sutton game? Absolutely.
Pools are my team, I support them regardless. People keep wittering on about ambition, who is truly ambitious? The people who are trying to get a team together to get a result, or the people who just whine and bitch about things not going their way?
Glass half full , glass half empty or just a glass. Take your pick...roll around in the shit or go on a sunbed. It's how you want to see the world.

When I saw the team I was excited. We should have been able to put Braintree to bed . However, the midfield just wasn’t proactive enough . The fault remains with the manager and his team. Lennie is an honest guy but the drive is just missing and there is a distinct lack of self confidence has been apparent for a long time. Last 20 mins good but so far behind the level required to get us in the playoffs. Enjoyed watching Cleary though

Copy and paste this shite and post it again after we fail to beat Sutton

And you can enjoy rolling around in the shit

Not sure we had the better chances, certainly they could have scored 3 or 4 1st half, we did come closest though. What was obvious even before kick off was that Campbell and Fev as a CM pairing wasn't going to work, total lack of presence and mobility, and it took too long to change it imo. First time in a hell of a long time that I've been embarrassed about our performance (first half).

But none of this shit is Radgy s fault.

Fancy forgetting your last sentence.
Anyhow BL has just knocked you of the top of the Superfan Leader board.

In real terms we 10 points behind the play offs.

A bridge to far.
Not even false hope from Turpentine is applicable anymore.

Nearly beer garden season.
Take football of the Menu n life is a great barrel of laughs.

got to agree going from the highlights. moan like last week when we created sod all against 10 men is fine but lets give a bit of credit when it looked as if we were unlucky. got to wonder what fans expected lenny to say, slag everybody and everything that is wrong with OUR club.

LL was right on another day Pools could have scored 3/4 goals albeit not playing very well.

We drew against braintree no matter how many goals we should of had. If you are happy getting a point at Braintree great but if you cant see why the club is getting slagged off after the last few years then im at a loss as to what you have been watching. We havent beaten ebbsfleet, wealdstone braintree this season that is a shocking set if results no matter how you dress it up.

Highlights are on the OS: https://www.hartlepoolunited.co.uk/watc ... ebut-goal/

Bear in mind these are Braintree's highlights so every chance of theirs is included- even a cross across the 6 yard area that no-one got near.
One goal apiece plus one Pools' 'goal' rightly chalked off for Madine interfering with play.

Other than that Cleary has more - and better - chances to score than the entire Braintree team put together. Hits the wood work twice and makes the keeper work with the others. He's bound to break his duck soon soon.

What's more worrying is Mani D has 2 good chances and fluffs them both. His confidence in front of goal looks to be rock bottom at the minute.

Not saying anything about Braintree's overall game or Pools' overall game - I don't have a dodgy stick so I didn't see the match. And yes, a draw with Braintree is no feckin' use at all at the minute.

it is just for us to remain what we are. a mid table outfit. every time we play a team in the bottom half of the division we are expected to win, but i,d guess now they have all beaten teams better and higher up the league than us. not an excuse for dropping 2 points but a fact especially playing which looked like an experimental formation we haven,t used all season.

That’s the level Pools have dropped to, a part time team Braintree who play at a ground resembling a public park similar to most grounds in the NL except the clubs like Pools who have dropped out of the league, the Pools better get used to playing at this level.

we are quickly sounding like my lad and other stockport fans who lived in a recent past. we are where we are because of bad decisions like braintree are where they are because of the opposite. it is what it is and fans can do sod all positive about the present situation the club has put us in. however we could make things worse by non attendance at games even if this team is a bloody hard watch.

I was expecting a win, wanted a win and when i saw the line up announced was a little puzzled and it looked very midfield light.
Yes, I want us in the league and wish things were different, however I don't see the point in whining about it .
This is where we are, I think it's a matter of putting your big boy trousers on and getting on with it.
If you can't change things, which none of us can, accept it.
I try to see the positives rather than whinge like a bitch because you haven't got your scalextric for Christmas.
As I said, it's how you choose to look at the world.
What was it that Kipling said about treating those two impostors the same?

one positive by not winning is there will be less pie in the sky talk about the bloody play offs that is more boring than watching sideways walking football.

I've only watched the highlights but the West Brom lad was a breath of fresh air. On another day he would be the owner of the match ball. Put a few delicious crosses in as well. The one Mani put over the bar was just asking to be put away.

Played Braintree twice and couldnt beat them. Played Wealdstone twice and couldnt beat them. Lost and drew with Woking. Lost to Ebbsfleet. Certainly paints a picture of the capabiiity of the current team. Any team can have an off day but seven games against four of the weakest teams in the NL tells you all you need to know.

Knowing LL he will be on the bench next game.

its made worse by us not raising our game when we play the top sides. if only lennie could rally the troups for these games it would be better than having a white flag posted from the coach when we arrive at places like barnet.

But what are the positives? If we all pretend we are happy nothing will ever be done. If crowds drop off fans vent their feeling something along the line might give. It might not but pretending everything is fine will get us nowhere. The list of results lows pathetic displays have gone on for too long now, just because we have been shit for all our history doesnt give us a divine right to be shit forever, when fans start thinking drawing at Braintree not beating the wealdstones and being thumped at gateshead every season is an acceptable norm we might as well pack it in.

The owner, manager playing staff tea lady rose should all know this aint acceptable or good enough.

sadly i suspect they might think exactly the same but cannot come out in public saying it.

Well, aye. They'll all be insisting we can still make the play offs despite pretty damning evidence to the contrary. It is as if they think the fan base is as daft as they are

Another season in the NL is slipping away and no fan is happy about it. Dull resignation is probably a better description.

If results go on stuttering to nowhere attendances will drop off, but what really gets crowds worked up (generally in football, not just at Pools) is a couple of home hammerings. Not saying they won't happen, but at the minute the home form isn't horrible (2 wins and a draw in the the last 3 games) and there's three new players for fans at the Vic to get a proper look at.

If Pools play badly and don't win any of the 3 home games coming up in the middle of February there will be hell on inside the Vic. If...

Its not shite its his opinion, And he is entitiled to it.

And I’m entitled to think it’s shite….just as he is entitled to think my opinion is shite also … nothing personal in it .

Everybody on here is entitled to think what they like. Your thinking something is not being questioned but you may like to respect what another person is saying and control how you respond.

I honestly thought we rode our luck in the first 30 minutes of the first half and should have been at least 2 down. We then got on top for the rest of the first half which could have been 3-3 at the break. Could not get the second half

That's says it all really.

Fair enough--Apologies if anyone was offended--though based on Bobby Lemonade post hes hardly a shrinking violet so am sure its water off a ducks back

Thank you Mr Loyal.

It's only internet arguing lol I'm not in the slightest bit bothered by it .
There's quite a few on here I disagree with but I'm pretty sure if I was sat round a table with them in a pub I'd find them decent enough people. We all want pools to win.

When everyone agrees..we have a problem…..long May diversity of opinion remain.
We are all critics of others opinions but blind to our own.
Personally I think Lenny has the perfect plan …… for the 1970’s.

I often say the same bobby. We managed extremely well before technically advanced. We could have a chat or disagree in the pub without anyone falling out with one another or without someone constantly looking down at a plastic thing and ignoring the conversation.

well said !

Internet talking n face to face talking is 2 completely different ball games.
The Internet version is mostly Vile n disgusting.

Face to Face is much better communication.

And the way The Labour Laws are going on freedom of speech these football forums will eventually shut down.

To result in WhatsApp group chat communication.

A concerned reply.
Certainly not the c u n t some Posters are making you out to be Billy
