He got the longest unbeaten record in football.

Now he's firmly fixed on the longest winless run.

Two different clubs as well.

I was 100% sure it would turn today.

Surely Harrison can't continue? We looked awful before today, we weren't even close to being that good today.
Fylde weren't bad but they didn't really have to break sweat today. Their second goal could have been defended better against by those mannequins they use in training.

The visitors sat back for a bit but couldn't believe how bad we were then thought hey we could win this. 6 corners for them and they were the visitors. Did Pools have one, shocking performance Duxbury has to reconsider Harrison's position as the crowd has turned against him already, she/Sage want their money back but on performances like today the crowds will drop rapidly along the income.

Has a team ever looked so unwilling to play for the manager?

I don't think I've ever seen Pools like this bad. We were poor at the beginning of the season when we were passing it around the defence but CH has went too far the way now with the constant long balls. We didn't once create a chance from a long ball and anyone could see we needed to change things up, but his subs just made us worse! We had no width and no one on the right wing once Donaldson went off, but even when he was on he did nothing. I cannot think of any genuine positives from the game today, no shots on target, 2 poor goals conceded and a whole team that seemed completely lacking in any ideas going forward, or any clue as to what they were meant to do.

At the start of the season, all the pundits and experts touted Pools as potential favourites for the title and said that we had signed top players for this level, surely they can't all be wrong and the players are actually woeful, Harrison has got to take the blame for the piss poor showings in every single game so far!

That is what it looks like, you won't beat anyone at any level if you can't match how hard they work and have a desire to actually win the game.

How many formations did he try?

Franks, as we all know, is strong and powerful down the middle!!! FFS! And Franksy played well today - sorry, as well as he was allowed to. Ch- you got him as a winger - you said so - don't blame anyone else..........

Featherstone! He tried, he really did - but, again, what instructions was he getting - and what was with the piece of paper?

And the youngun? Bollocked by his team mates and some in the crowd - he had no chance - and then the winger (Donaldson, ooh me ribs) is taken off - and the kid, without any assistance from his teammates is left to attend to all of the right side................

So, here is my question - who heard any Pools player talk to another today? Same at Bromley! Same at Whitley Bay! Same of, same oh.

Sorry, I know I've been down on Harrison from early doors - but, he is killing our already knackered club.............

Craig, put the extra large parmo down, ring Pam, resign and take Bates with you................

Why oh why every time they had a corner did we put all the team in the box too defend it resulting in any clearance coming straight back, Fylde had 3 players waiting outside the box waiting for any clearance. I have before, pacy player on the halfway line and another wide right or left, drags their players back too defend and if we get possession we can break away. On numerous occasions Loach collected the ball but had too hold on too it waiting too kick it too some one, I am afraid Harrison's tactics might have worked for TNS but this is a different league.

Yes - because, with the exceptions of the likes of Newton, some of the team are half decent and (I think/ hope) care - and remember, unless they think that Man U are going to pick them up, they need to do well to pay for their mortgages!

Have to say I couldn't quite understand why Harrison gave Featherstone a note with instructions. There was a stoppage in play for a few minutes, he goes to the bench and Harrison just gives him a piece of paper and walked off. Bloody speak to him! There's no wonder the players look lost, you could see Featherstone trying to figure it out when all it needed was a few words from the manager.

We signed a load of players he doesn't know how to use, we have such an unbalanced squad, he doesn't want to give our own youngsters a go and is so far out of his depth.

Wouldn't usually call for a managers head this soon but he needs to go sharpish. Long balls to Munns was the end for me.

Thing is we have said the exact same things now about every manager for about 5 - 6 years. Mind you the players have changed too and the owners.

I've no idea who to blame anymore. It's all been shit for so long.

Clubs on the bones of its arse financially and is completely embarrassing itself on the pitch.

Laughing stock of a team for past few years

When it comes to mangers, we're like the shipwrecked passenger adrift at sea who gets picked up by the Titanic.
