Pools will never be anything more than a mid table side with Turner in charge. If this is the case then crowds will continue to fall and the rot will set in. Turner has us beat before we even take the field with his warblings about big clubs, big support and money to spend.Yes this is true but we have to get on with it, psychologically we are beaten before we even take to the field, then after the inevitable defeat he continues to praise and defend the team. He is making it acceptable to get beat by the likes of Norwich , Leeds etc , this shouldnt be the case , there are some positive aspects of been the small guy that we could and should harness, Scunthorpe and Colchester have done it in the past.

In all honesty we are punching above our weight in div 1 and if you are satisfied with this then Turner is the man. If like me you have a dream then Turner is not the man to make it come true. As a club we are floating aimlessly at the moment with no ambition or direction.

I'd gladly take mid table.
I'm more worried about relegation with this man in charge.

We are top half of the table and our recent record reads something like won 3, drew 2, lost 2 in the league. that is NOWHERE NEAR relegation form FFS

mister b if chris turner had a shit and put a pools shirt on it and started it at left back would you say it was a managerial masterstroke?

You seem to just love everything

He might well love everything but at the minute he's just stating a fact.

Didn't he do exactly that most of last season?

where have i stated that i love everything or even that i love turner? I simply stated that our form is not that of a team who will get relegated. Not even close.

As long as our away form holds. Our home form is one of the worst six in the league.
We've just started a run of fixtures that will test us to the limit.

of course, there is no doubt that those run of fixtures will see us drop down, but after those we have a run of easy looking fixtures again, which should see us safely looking at a midtable spot.

lack of belief is the problem, not the players. That's the manager's job to sort this out before certain games, and for the record I also believe we were beaten psychologically last night before a ball was kicked.
