Pools: Flinders, Austin, Collins, Clark, Hartley, McSweeney, Sweeney, Gamble, Humphreys, Monkhouse, O'Donovan
Subs: Cook, Haslam, Jones, Bjornsson, Brown, Boyd, Mackay

He's losing the fookin plot... Seriously.. BOYD & Brown on the bloody bench against a team like Southampton?? for fck sake

Can I ask in what circumstances Mackay is going get on, before Boyd, Brown, and Bjornsson?

Does Turner even think about the make up of the bench?

We've got 4 forwards on the bench and Monkhouse up front

I see we got Linford Clarke and Usain Collins up against Lambert tonight

Well Lambert is hardly quick.

Can I ask what the fook we are going to do if one of them gets injured?

Put Mackay on?

What's their team? Have they made changes due to their Wembley appearence?

Think that sums up my view on the selection. Now let me hark back to Turners assertion he would not play players out of position when he took his cheap shot at Wilson.

So.....Hartley, a centre half at left back, Humphreys, an ageing central midfielder at left midfield and Monkhouse a left midfield player up front. While he leaves top scorer Boyd on the bench and mercurial talent Brown on the bench.

it's genius aint it

i'd love to know what their team was.

01 Davis
02 Harding
12 Fonte
18 Mills
35 Seaborne
04 Puncheon
14 Hammond
19 Schneiderlin
07 Lambert
09 Papa Waigo
17 Barnard

Thanks.

I would be telling the players to get stuck into them. They won't want to miss out on playing at Wembley.

Daft leaving those 2 on the bench like. Maybe he wants to bring them on in the second half in a stroke of tactical genius?

Atleast 8 or 9 or even more of them wud walk into our squad

Brown, Boyd and Jones sat on their backsides.
Humphries in Monkhouses position.
Monkhouse out of position.
4 Strikers on the bench.
One "defender" Haslam,
Surely Cherel should have be on the bench.

Crazy selection of both the starting eleven and the subs.

At least Lalana isn't playing for them. He tortured us at The Vic

They are going 4-3-3.
Ouch :)

I was going to listen but I'm going to the pub now.

Hope I'm wrong but I really fear the worst with that team.

I told youse lot glue sniffing is back

First of all pde and now Chris Turner

Well brown ws goosed on Friday when he got took off plus he did nothing of note, Boyd doesn't deserve a place in the starting line up and maybe this will give him a kick up the backside.. me id rather see jones in the middle then sweens but we didn't lose on Friday night so give them lads a chance again I say!

Brown is fair enough, he's coming back we don't want him to break down again. I'd rather he was closer to 100% on Saturday.

So basically James Brown, just back from injury, loses his place, Humphreys who has been poor for months keeps his place, likewise Sweeney, likewise Hartley, likewise Monkhouse, Boyd still on detention, McSweeney, just back from detention in. Clark in by default. Masterstroke.

So 3 points for Southampton then.

1-0 as I've said throughout this thread Monkey must play up front, and Turner has picked the correct team.

We also might need Mackay from the bench later.

I'm still going to the pub.

I take it all back.

For now AAAaargh equalizer.

Come on Pools.

Are we playing O'Donovan up front and monkey as a part of a 5 midfield, or is monky playing upfront too?

Anybody?

Not sure but we are probably fcucked anyway regardless

2nd goal gifted to Lambert by Collins.......now where have we heard that before????

He's got to play someone else in there on saturday or we'll lose that one too

It was Clark

Turner should fuck off now. The useless inept 'lovely lovely person' has not a fucking clue how to put a side out.

Monkhouse upfront why?

Hartley still not dropped why?

Collins makes another mistake but still undroppable?

Humphreys in midfield but jones on the bench and rowell unable to make the squad?

Boyd, Brown, Mackay, Bjornsson all centre forwards all on the bench when we play a guy on loan and a midfielder up front?

And we still have a midfielder alongside Collins in defence?

Why?

Who the feck knows? The meaning of life is easier to comprehend

are you fucking stupid or just blind?

Why are you being such a silly boy!?

It was still Clark

well its posted right above him that it was Ben Clark.....

As for YOU calling ME silly............

Depends how much beer I have had. What about you?

Behave yourselves, you sound like a primary school playground.

nah i'm always stupid

I wrote that as you did and didnt edit.

I dont know who it was as Im not at the game and it would be unusual for the commentators to get it wrong. But Collins has made plenty of gaffs lately yet he still gets his game. I think this is the point he was trying to make.

I appreciate we are getting beat but its no reason to start causing chew on the board. FFS, its bad enough putting up with the jokers on the pitch these days without having shiit on here too.

You have been sound lately imo, why spoil things now.

jesus your biting tonight!

nnnnnnnnnnoooooooo

Just leave me alone

Clark is not a midfielder - did you not see him play last year?

Unbelievable aint it?

And those asking for Hartley to be dropped, it will only mean Humpty is put back there to accomodate him in another position
