I know he seems to have a lot of admirers (for 'attitude' only I presume) on here but that was THE single worst left back performance I have EVER seen in a pools shirt and that includes Ian Clark and Ritchie.

I would love to see the opta stats for him. He gave the ball straight to a Huddersfield player every time he touched the ball. Another one of Turners dodgy signings.

I must also say that I am very rarely wrong about pools players but I must admit to being wrong about behan. Initially I said he was a star in the making but the guy is frankly rubbish! Completely clueless and embarrassingly slow.

If the club are willing to keep allowing Turner funds for him to sign these over-rated players then they deserve relegation. Flinders also is getting worse and worse. Do our players actually get coached?

fooking useless chunts. banghead

I think Hartley has got better as the season has gone on but I agree today he played poorly and played more than significant role in conceding the penalty.

Behan was poor and should have been replaced by Brown given Turner clearly thought he was fit. Larkin FFS!

Behan was absolute garbage yet again. By the time he steady's himself to shoot, the defender just takes the ball off him. And for fooks sake will someone be man enough to take the ball off him at freekicks banghead banghead , instead of him hitting the wall every time banghead banghead . Hartley had a shocker as well, and his passng as it has ben all season was again terrible, IMO haslem a much better and far more composed full back. To cap it off Tubby takes Boyd off and the crowd and players go flat, and there was no belief that we could get back in the game. Just for once Turner can we not gamble and go three upfront banghead banghead . Surely Hodcroft has got to act NOW !!!

Why did'nt Clark come on for Hartley, with Liddle moving to left back, even as early as half-time as it was patently obvious that Hartley was having a mare. Before they scored Behan should have took that chance, but as he must have the worst left foot in pro' football it was never gonna happen. I thought Boyd was'nt playing too bad, and Sweeney also gave his all.

Larkin, who I dont rate, had a couple of very good chances, but he's another player who's afflicted with this 'fall over as I'm shooting' syndrome, when better players show more composure, strength and balance. Annoyingly we had far more goalscoring chances than them, even Browny could have scored after a good move. Also Monkhouse hit weakly twice when in good positions.

Thing is we need to win at least 6 of the remaining games, and I can't see it happening, due mainly to the fact we are creating more chances for the oppo' by constantly making stupid mistakes when in possession.

2 of the worst players in Pools shirts for a long time and that's saying something!
