Humps and ALB both shite as usual and at fault for the goals. I seriously wonder how we will be able to win a game with these two first on the team sheet every week.

But well played to the rest of the team inparticular Monkhouse who I thought had a great game and Clark was very good. Lange looked lost but il put that down to tiredness.

Overall a good result and a good game.

I said Humps was shite though?

Who are you and what have you done with OO?

Obafemi Obsession · **Posted:** Tue Feb 17, 2009 11:28 pm

I wouldn't say he was shite but he was at fault for the first goal. There were a couple of blokes who walked out behind me and they were saying "we must get two new full-backs". I thought Sweeney was excellent.

Sweeney is a better full back than he is a central midfielder thats for sure. i think he usually has a steady ish game. Humphreys seems to be getting worse though.....

Agreed. Sweeney is outstanding IMO. He looks a natural right back to me and far better there than in midefield. Sweeney has been my player of the season.

To be fair to Lee Barrett he kept us in the game in the second half with 2 excellent saves when he was left one on one with a Leicester forward, he was also much more vocal than usual, I could hear him shouting from where i was stood

Two one on ones, one that he did well to close down but the save was to his near post (Howard probably took a note from the first half) and the second was straight at him. Both poor finishes, when was the last brilliant save you saw the lad make? I can't think of one.

Not brilliant but the tip over in the 1st half was pretty good.

That was a decent save, but still regulation.

Fook me, I came out of the match happy last night, then I come here on wrist slashers row and find the miseries who were advocating an inevitable defeat still fooking whining longer than a jet taxiing.
Excuse me, but why do some of you even bother going, isn't there a Fishwives and Malicious gossips group you can join and spare the rest of us constant sniping and hand wringing, Fookin Jonahs. :roll:

didnt go to the game last night as was down south but got match report of the old man, personally before the match I thought a drwa would be a good result and see it as a point gained rather than 2 lost. I bet all the people moaning about ALB and co would have taken a point before the match.

Also with respect to Yeovil going on a run and others saying others below us could well why cant pools if I can see us winning the match against orient and have enough up front to be mid table come the end of the season, you think from some of the comments on here that we dont have a hope in hell

MutleyRules · **Posted:** Wed Feb 18, 2009 10:43 am

I didn't go last night either....but I think what people are saying is if we had a different keeper it could have been 3 points....and more points over the course of the full season!!!! confised

BTW....I was expecting us to get beat by at least 3/4 goals....so a draw I feel was a helluva result for us!!!! :coool:

I'm not the keepers biggest fan and he may well have been for fault for the goals last night( Humph's should have done better with his tackle leading up to the goal) but we would have been dead and buried the start of the 2nd half if it was not for the two cracking saves he made

pde147 · **Posted:** Wed Feb 18, 2009 8:01 pm

Humphrey's missed a tackle and fell in a heap for their first goal. Other than that he had an excellent game - often getting forward and linking well.

Matt Oakley (the winger he was up against) is Leicester's captain, best player , cost half a million quid a year ago and played 239 games in the premier league.

I can't remember a full back since Rob McKinnon that people have been happy with. All full backs occasionally get beaten- particularly against the best players in the best team in the division. Please give one of the most whole -hearted players I have ever seen play for Pools a break. His game last night was worth a solid 6/10 not the berating he is getting on here.

wasnt that would you did constantly from july through to december tho ? :wink:

i think its frustration more than anything snowy. we are conceding goals game after game after game as a result of failings in the same area.

when a keeper/defence lets in 51 goals in 28 games its abundantly clear there is a problem, and when a manager comes out on pools world and flatly denies it then its annoying.

Chip, I know and you know, my anger was aimed solely at Wilson . I acknowledge things are not good, but I'd rather hope we can stay in this division by accepting the fact that all we can do is suck it and see, we don't have a choice. And, YES, i'd like to have seen a keeper signed in the break, which bizarely did not happen, but I come back to the basic if painful conclusion that we're hovering above the shite and pointing out the problems associated with it aint gonna change a thing, so i might as well try and be positive even thouigh it's not me.... and I really did enjoy the match last night and it's a long time since I said that. :wink:

I must disagree completely Ritchie. I thought you had a shiit game last night, even worse than your usual poor standard. Please go play for Darlo.

I honestly don't see him as that bad. I agree we maybe need to look at other options but he isn't that bad for me.

Concurring fully with Chip.

It's been obvious for a while, unfortunately some people can't seem to let go of the "player of the century".

other than that he had an excellent game ?????????????

the first 3 times he got the ball he kicked 2 straight out for a throw in and the other out for a goal kick when under no pressure. to be fair the fourth went to robson who gave him it back and he hoofed it straight to their centre half.

i'd give him 2 out of 10. one for putting the right shirt on, and the other for the one tackle he did make. he wasnt marking oakley as that was the job of robson/monkhouse. on the few occasions he was asked to do some defending he was shyte. prime example being in the first half when he was man marking fryatt in the centre circle at a pools corner. when the ball was cleared to the half way line the ease with which fryatt turned him was embarrasing.

the set piece he took failed to beat the first man and the one time he got into the leicester box on the end of a porter back-heel he got there at a snails pace and booted it straight into a defender.

the bloke has been a loyal servant, great player etc etc, but he is hopelessly out of form. the first 20 minutes against huddersfield he was dire and the last half hour at brighton he also got tortured.

i agree he needs a break tho.

Fuck me, id have been ripped apart if i written that!! :roll:

Agree totally though.

ALB made a couple of good saves and Richie bar the sloppy tackle did ok but i was delighted last night with the way we battled and tried to play the right way.
Getting a bit sick of the Humpreys bashing there is 11 out there not just him.

Lets face it , we will get know where near promotion or a play off place with our current back five, none of them are up to the task. Tuesday was a good result, but its coming to something when a home draw against the likes of Leicester causes delirium amongst our fans. Hereford beat Leeds , now you will tell me Leeds are cr*p and often get beat, but I bet we dont beat them in April, why is we never manage to beat big clubs at the top. Getting back to our defence, the majority are failed midfielders , its no wonder we concede, Sweeney did do well on Tuesday but generally he is hit and miss at right back , Humphreys is more consistent on the left, struggling every game, no wonder crosses come in from the flanks, were Nelson and Collins ( when he hasnt had a domestic) are usually conspicous by their absence. Lets hope CT has a big clear out in defence at the end of the season and brings some quality full backs in and a leader and hardman in the centre.
