Is anyone a fan??

Should be good enuf in this division to provide plenty of assists and chip in with a few goals.
If hes fully fit get him on board.

yeh I also heard this from someone who was watching them train in durham yesterday

also another trialist not recognised from the ones we already know of

would have him back but not as first team choice

I think a bit of blind alley running with no great end product could be the final piece in the promotion jigsaw.

He's probably just training with us to keep his fitness up as he's from the area! I hope that's all it is anyway, as PJ said he had no end product and just ran into the corner flag like one of the players in an old computer game trying to run off the the screen!.

He can get in the bin.

Better than his record for completed crosses

That's 16 in 1430

That's Steve Howards shots on target ratio I think.

I thought it was metres sprinted by Howard in his career

I thought it was saves made in number of games played by Flinders

I thought it was how many of Chris Turner's signings got game time.

I thought it was another tREE thread about Franks back injury?

horden · **Posted:** Fri Jul 21, 2017 4:00 pm

I was a big Franks fan at the time, and regularly defended him on message boards, but gradually I couldn't defend him any longer. Still too many like him at the club, who have 1 good game in 6, so its a big NO from me. I think we have another Franks in Rhys Oates to be honest.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! :angry-screaming:

He's possibly the most frustrating player we've ever had. JUST GET YOUR HEAD UP MAN!!!!!!! Was heard so many times as he chose the wrong option.

I don't get people saying he'll be decent at this level, he's shit just because we've dropped a level we shouldn't think shit players will be alright. He's got a decent strike on him, but he can't cross or beat a man.

I can see Mr Hartleblue is not happy.....

I agree Mr Glove. The Mill House Terrace experts gave him no chance - but they are all used to England quality wingers aren't they? He tried; at times he was decent, but just remember what was around him.....

In his last season at the club, and he played all season, he scored in one league game.

Didn't Flinders have a similar record?

misterb2001 · **Posted:** Fri Jul 21, 2017 10:52 pm

That's so scary it's actually hilarious

yloop · **Posted:** Fri Jul 21, 2017 10:53 pm

Even more worrying is that both had a better record than foley's entire football league career in that one season.

To be honest i think he would be ok at this level providing he has progressed whilst up in bonny Scotland. I think he is very much a confidence player so if we all told him he is brilliant he might turn it on.
Someone needs to tell him not to look for discarded coins whilst playing football.

The odd game I've seen him playing for Ross County he didn't look any different to what we saw at Pools.

Probably one of those players who will never learn so best to avoid. He was also a cock when he left. Burnt his bridges and not really good enough to warrant a second chance

Looking through some of the training photos that Pools posted earlier today, I couldn't see Mondal or any other trialists that have been at the club, but Franks is there in training gear. Obviously been no announcement but with CH saying that he wanted to make decisions ASAP on the players, could this mean that Franks may be set for a return?

Normally get 2 weeks on trial, only been there less than a week.
