about how bad Pools are.

Just come off the phone to my Carlisle supporting mate, and his opinion of the Pools team is alarming to say the least. And he knows that they arent that good either.

What has staggered me more is those claiming we are not far short of being a good team.

Bizarre.

A good solid centre half alongside Harrison, a midfielder who can run and graft alongside Miller and a forward to play with Wyke and we'd be looking ok. To me that isn't a long way off a competent team.

The players you have mentioned every team in the world needs, you cant get those types of players on a shoe string budget.

I agree, but the funding wasn't the question that I was answering.

Do you just lie about not going to Pools? After every game you comment about it (last week you were saying how sparse the Town End looked) and then always say its from talking to some randomer?

Who knows just what the truth is. Maybe I can be in two places at once?

Flinders and Duckworth are the only players who would have got into that Carlisle team.

well the lad at centre back is no better than harrison (henville or something) like that.

we all know we are a poor side, the most alarming thing is how we just cave in around 95% of the time once we concede.

What about a winger for the left hand side. That would be two centre halves as Harrison does not belong to us and whats to say Sunderland don't renew his loan once its expired? Then the same applies to Wyke, so we actually need

A left back
2 Centre halves
A central midfielder
and 2 forwards.

Then nothing on the bench, so only need 10 or 11 players

Some people seem to forget we've got players on loan... we're getting that used to it we now think it's the norm.... it isn't.

Why on earth do we need a left back? Austin had been solid all season and actually looks like cares.

Im sure the club can shift some of these Dyke house lads straight into the first team if needed.

If it's not "the norm" then I suppose that means every other team in our league has none or next to none of them?
