good deserved point, however with a competent GK would have been 3 points.

ALB 4 - actually made 3 or 4 VERY good saves/blocks but he got beat at his front post for the first goal and stupidly slid in at the striker to give away the penalty.

Sweeney 7 - really is a breath of fresh air, defends half decently and always offers himself in attacking positions

Collins 7 - Thought he handled the Leicester front 2 pretty well

Nelse 7 - same as collins

Humphs 5/6 - definately the weak link in the defense. However looked much more comfortable when Monkey moved to the left.

Robson 5 - going back to his worst quickly, reluctant to beat his man and 1st touch was awful. Injured

Clark 7 - took him half an hour to get in the game but enventually helped boss & marshall the midfield well

Liddle 7 - similar to Clark, took a while to get going, but always full of running and started a few attacks.

Monkey 9 - MOM for me, ran at players twisted their defense inside out, great goal at the end.

Porter 7/8 - played very well in spells and led the line brilliantly, didn't look 100 percent fit though (which he isn't)

Lange 6 - poor game never really got involved, didn't look match fit and will probably be on the bench come Saturday. Never really got a chance in front of goal.

Foley 7 - actually made a few things happen, always looking for the ball and attacked with purpose. Injured


Well i know the likes of Tree, Grave etc will be extremely happy as ALB was at fault for both goals, but he did pull off some good saves and kept us in the match at times, needs to cut out his mistakes or be replaced quickly.

Good game which up until 15 mins to go i thought we had every chance of winning, however a point is a point.

Bring on Orient for a very very vital 3 points

Who gives a fuck what Tree thinks?

To suggest that people are happy that ALB was at fault yet again is pathetic. I blame the Pools management - the lad needs to e taken away from the action - he did well on a few occasions tonight but he always concedes and always looks likely to......

they take great pleasure in seeing him fail, so it's far from pathetic to suggest so.

I think that it is more to do with the fact that ALB has been shite all apart from half in a pre season friendly. i don't blame ALB - I'm sure he tries his best but he is not up to it. His goalkeeping record is woeful and i don't see it getting any better.....

At least he didn't concede three.

agreed, but Tree comes on and calls him a 'lovely lovely person' or something similar, there is no chance of a reasoned debate with him and the others

Grow up.

Yawn. Had this debate with the admins. Me and grave etc are some of the very few who actually do debate stuff. The rest of you simply give abuse and thus end the debate. Perhaps start actually reading instead of seeing what you want to see.

it's these rose-tinted specs, i cant see out of them properly

tree you don't debate stuff at all. you obviously don't even know the meaning of the word.

and fully cognisant of the fact that i'm taking the bait, you're a c*** too. Now fuck off.

see you all after my ban

Right so when i post my comments/ratings/thoughts of a game im generally met by a wanker sign or "usual shite" comments but thats me at fault right?

As mature as ever.

Tree, you have been sensible tonight. Which is a sea change to the usual stuff.

What do you mean - what it has turned into?

As far as i know everyone has the capacity to make posts and control the content of the board....?

Don't rise to the bait Elvis.

Agree with this! The two or three good saves he makes each game mean nothing when he makes two or three mistakes leading to goals each game. Its taking our forwards to get him out of trouble every week and as we know they just cant keep performing to that standard every week.

ALB and Humphries were both at fault for the first goal. ALB was at fault folr the second. There was absolutely no need to bring the attacker down but like many others in the ground, you just knew he would be stupid enough to do it as the attacker went past him towards the corner flag.

ALb did make two good saves but its not good enough. We can all see it.

Im sick of coming on here moaning about ALB and RH (and I know that many others on here are sick of me doing so too ) but neither are anywhere near good enough, both emabarrassments! Like I said previously, for RH to be 'player of the centuary' shows what a sad existence we have had as a football club. Of that squad of players out there tonight there are 5 or 6 who are better players.

Overall it was a great performance tonight, we really give Leicester a game but its just a shame the usual suspects made another couple of blunders and cost us a win.

Its quite funny really, we have all made sensible posts about the game and given our thoughts etc (even OO didnt disagree with me for once) and Elvis complains for some reason and thinks giving abuse and swearing at people will somehow help.
Please look at yourself for what this "board has turned into"

fuck you, you fat ugly bounder.

OO- serious question. What bait has been given?

non but they imagine that there has been some

Like I said on another post, not tonight but in the past. You have deliberately been provocative - in the past.

So can you explain the abuse tonight? I havent said anything out of order at all but yet people see what they wanna see and to see grown men resorting to it is pathetic.

Agreed - I think one person in particular has lost a lot of credibility with their behaviour on here tonight.....

EH???

Lange might not have scored but he is exactly what we need at this current time. He holds the ball up great and lays the ball off well which sets up attacks.

We all know our defence isn't the greatest which is why a player with the ability to take the pressure off the defence is all the more important.

He was also up against a huge defence and put himself about quite well in my opinion.

He still isn't match fit by the way.

I can't speak for others Tree.

so lets get this right....

You think its pathetic when people call you a 'lovely lovely person'?

yet you have called the likes of Humphreys, ALB & Turner 'not nice people' many times in the past. So by your own admission you are also pathetic.................and a 'lovely lovely person' too
