i think your out of order mate.

i dont know who is more negative, you or the elusive Mr Headlander.

we played against a good team today, without 3 of our better players (who were injured) and got beat. Its hardly the end of the world.

The fact that you keep harping on about how Clark was dropped and Porter has barely gotten a sniff is really boring now.
Cant you just forget it, its in the past now!

Clark will be back in along side Nelse and Porter has proved he can add something extra when he does play.

Wilson doesnt deserve the amount of rubbish that is spouted in his direction from the likes of you.

And why does there have to be somebody to blame? Cant we just accept that we are a mid-table team at best who will invariably lose quite a lot of away matches this season?

Were you even there today?


p.s. Come on Hatton!

Who are you, like?

....is that you Danny?

sure i have seen the name some where or similar
what i will say is having read a report from the ground it was not as bad as it sounds

antwi was off for approx 11 minutes if that was the case then it needed more than a re shuffle
but again i think the final score makes it sound worse than it was
two in that short time we had ten men is bad but the only one possible to bring on would have been boland
it is still hard to take as our form over the last 10 we have only won 2 and drawn 1 not good enough

i'm me, who are you?

They maybe trouble ahead............wait till ADG finishes his pies :D

I fear Dibble will want a good run up to this one...stand clear

Well i just back, and so feel I can comment. It was just one those days, the Loss of Antwi resulted in the 2 goals being conceded, and from leading to being behind, and then having to play against the wind in the 2nd half. 3 poor defensive mistakes cost us today,something Wilson, on the sidelines can do nothing about.

Barker puts a glancing header just wide and from the resulting goal kick a poor back pass allows them to score the 3rd,a very small dividing line between being 2-2 and it being 3-1.

And to make matters worse Humphries may have done a metatarsal and be out for a few weeks as well,though more should be known on Monday.

It means Humphries will miss his first game for Pools' DUE TO INJURY since he joined us in 2001.

We are just giving away too many sloppy goals, same old story sadly. it looks like a season of mid table mediocrity as we haven't seemed capeble of putting 2 or 3 decent performances in a row together all season. i really thought we were going to get something at yeovil but by the sounds of things the players switched off when Antwi was getting treatment.....

Come along Mr Chip, how come Bob's description of Barkers glancing header was a fair comment when earlier it was a sitter from 6 yards

The way Radio Borer described it, it was easier to score than to miss

From what I heard (& I only managed to hear the second half) we were poor AGAIN today

I too am worried by us conceding 2 in 10 minutes when someone is off for treatment - it isn't as though anyone regards Antwi as a "key" player

It was Yeovil's doctors fault.

From what I've been told from a friend...we weren't that bad today.

I'll take his word for it as he normally very honest when we play badly and goes on about it.

Negative? Headlander?

Unlike you,errrrrrr mate , I am realistic. You are right of course, we played today without our best three players.............but Wilson doesnt want them anyway. Silly bounder.

And no I wont just accept we are a midtable team...........once you do THAT its too easy to acceot defeats. You sound like a loser. Loser.

As proven by your love of that other Loser.....Hatton.

And dont give me an bollox about Hatton, he is a good mate of that w**ker Rooney.

Fook him. :sweeeet:[/quote

Ooh you have such a sweet way with words Dibbs

Monsieur Gloves, Has someone replaced the meat in your pies for a vegetarian variety recently cos I feel a touch of anger in your recent posts.

There seems to be a disinct lack of love on the Bunker at present

Remember its nearly the season of joy and goodwill to all men!!!

For the record.............I have never loved any of you on here.

Apart from that one time.......................

And I fookin hate vegetables. [/quote]

So it was the veggies wot done it!

I wasn't been exactly serious when I said that!

I must admit there are a lot of arguments in support of the theory that our defence is shite. Even when Clark is playing it isn't that brilliant.
And yet the only player we don't have available from last season's clean sheet champions is Dimi.

Thank you Mr Richard that's what I've been trying to get accross, we have not played badly in all these games we've lost but the opposition know they are never out of it so long as they keep knocking crosses into the box, because a simple cross from the opposition is as dangerous for them as some of our football and runs by Brown, and results in more goals.

me a loser? you know how to hurt a guys feelings

how about a truce...... about fifty doughnuts should do......or so i hear

It was nowt like the miss against Bournemouth. The cross curled away from Barker, someone (McKay?) might have got a touch which took it even further away from him.

Barker did make a difference when he came on, unfortunately it didn't translate into a goal for him or anyone else.

Young Brown, is he Chinese?

I blame Hodcroft, after all he did pick the team on Tuesday, so its obvious he picked it yesterday

yeah, but you can make facts say anything, can't yer

Yeah, but there's folk on here who reckon that Jam Butties is the new Messiah so surely your theory about the goalkeeper doesn't stack up?

We struggled to prevent two really good wingers from getting crosses in time after time and when the crosses did come in, we failed to deal with most of them. The biggest problem was lack of communication.

Butz should be dealing with a lot of the crosses or, at the very least, marshalling the defence and telling them what to do. He hardly ever opens his mouth, the defenders don't trust him and mayhem ensues. Antwi's judgement of a high ball is also very questionable and anything can happen if it comes near him.

Three defensive mistakes cost us dearly but there were many more that went unpunished. we were actually pretty good in other areas of the field and created enough chances to perhaps merit a more respectable scoreline. Their captain, Skiverton, deservedly won man of the match and thwarted most of our best attacks.

Robbie Elliot had a good game and put in some great balls. Humphreys played well, Sweeney abnd Liddle were solid. James Brown didn't get the ball enough, maybe he should go looking for it a bit more in these sort of games.

Overall, disappointing result, played ok, dodgy in defence but should easily dust ourselves down and get on with the next match.

I've never liked "quiet" goalkeepers, and that's probably the main reason I'm not keen on Budtz. The likes of Dimi, Provett,Hodge, Horne, Williams (although he was rubbish at the end of his time here) - all played the keeper's part fully - i.e. because keepers can ALWAYS see up the pitch, they are never facing their own goal (or in theory they shouldn't)! and they barked out the orders to the defence based on what they could see - because that's what they should be doing.
It certainly makes defenders know who's around/behind/running up at them.
If a person lacks that confidence to do it, then put simply they shouldn't be between nets. End of.

ALB shouts a lot...

ho'way man, yer narr worram on about like!!!!!

Our lass shouts a lot, commands her area well and orders everyone about, but if a corner came across she would be easily distracted by soneone behind the goal saying ..."I see so and so has had her hair done different".... GOAL!!! .........
