Pools are just the team to play

when you're most in need of a boost, when you're on your lowest ebb, or when you're in need of making the next step.
We were the team Leeds beat to wipe out the last of their 15 point deficit.
What's the odds we are the team they will beat to go top of the league for the first time this season?? sadx

There's been no fight in the team since one scottish manager was sacked over 2 years ago.

Apart from the fight last season, but that doesn't count does it, because it was the fourth divison

PS

The Scottish manager showed little fight towards the end of his tenure, or doesn't that count as well?

Fight? I could have managed that team last season and still got us promoted!

Cooper did a fabulous job and if he had as much backing from IOR as wilson has who knows where we'd be now.

Ok, I'll give wilson some credit, he got us runners up :roll:

I just hope there's four worse teams than us come May.

the realisation must be finally dawning on everyone that basically the players we have (even the likes of Liddle) are not stand-out players in this division, as there are many good players in many teams in League One. It's whether you can edge out more wins than defeats at the end of the season to decide whether or not you'll be good enough to stay up, or be in the top six. I think we're heading for a lower mid table finish at best, and a place just outside the bottom four at worst.

Thing about Liddle, he was knockout last year, he is still young and I think a good coaching could take him forward from that, but sadly he seems to have moved backwards
