Will we be woking back to happiness woopa oh yey yeh! ( See what I did there ? )

Woking 1 Pools 3.

dreaming a dream of a win anyway.

Good Pizza Express apparently, has royal assent

I’m going to take my notebook and take a few statements, I’ll be very surprised if anyone can remember seeing a member of the royal family popping in for a pizza. He should be wearing orange overalls in Guantanamo bay

Woking 1 Pools 1 Feathersone 2,460 170 Poolies.

Pools leading after James fell over

Only two points off a play off place at the moment. Barrow continue to steamroller which is nice to see. They went out of the league quite unfairly back in 72. If memory serves they hadn't applied for reelection for years unlike another couple of clubs that applied pretty much every year. Pools would probably have gone out had it not been for the real great escape by Len Ashurst's team.

Incidentally it was one each between Pools and Darlo with each team losing their home game. My very first away game.

Ermmm.... scratch that.

That's the last time I predict a pools win, Groundhog day yet again.

First half pools controlled the game, Woking never looked like scoring. Second half we seemed a yard slower, second best in midfield.

You win some, you lose some. That’s what happens. There’s always the next game.

Cant expect to win many games when you are conceding 2 goals most games.

Letting opposition players turn and shoot in the six yard box for the first goal apparently. We have been doing it all season - either our defenders aren't alert enough or they are too slow, or both.

Kerrs reading of the game is abysmal, step up Cunningham.

Kitching could have cleared either upfield or into the back of the stand but he dithered until the Woking forward get really close to him then he tried to boot it up upfield but it richoched off him resulting in Woking scoring. I think we need two better fullbacks wingbacks whatever you call them but I feel they were culpable fo the two goals. Give Crichton Noble a start and met peter Kioso back asap

How many times do we discuss Kitching, he is not a defender, he is an attacking wing back and an equestrian horse.

Agree, although where you say “ricochet” I say “hand ball”.

Kitching was pretty good coming forward first half with a lot of our play coming from him on the left. Can’t argue that defensively he’s a little suspect but he’s pretty decent coming forwards.

Well this was almost a carbon copy of the Ebbsfleet game. In the first half we were comfortable and in control, granted we didn't create as many clear cut chances, the penalty was stone wall and dispatched well by Toure. The second half again we started well and then, well, then we just started to give Woking too much respect and too much space. The rest is history and I don't need to type it.

Bottom line is, we can't need to score three goals to win a game, for a couple of reasons, one being we just don't score three goals often enough and the other its unprofessional! Woking like Ebbsfleet should have been put to the sword in the first half and then managed out of the game. Dave has his work cut out and I don't really understand why his first signing is an out and out attacking winger when we are leaking two goals a game whether we play a league above Exeter and a struggling Ebbsfleet.

As soon as Woking got in front we were kept at arms length and they did everything possible to stay ahead, including the quite frankly ridiculous five minute injury delay for the left back who had a stretcher brought on for him, only for him to eventually get up and walk back to the half way line and ask to come straight back on as soon as the play restarted with absolutely nothing wrong with him.

Yes we've travelled a lot, yes we've had a raft of away games, yes we have a couple of injuries, but jesus wept we've lost so many points from winning positions this season its embarrassing.

Going forward we are good, defending we are fragile.

Poor goals conceded yet again!!

Keeper just isn't good enuf.
Makes no effort to tip the ball out for a corner on 1st goal.
2nd goal to far of his line.
A basic 2 handed catch.

Manager to blame for that defeat poor team selection.

Who would you have started instead, and why?

think the problem is could be that the defence is not a unit like some teams. do not think any of them are bad players its just that they look like strangers at times who have not played together. this is where the manager earns his money to get em complementing each other. if he cannot then he,s got to get rid of one or more to get this happening.
