a big keeper and a big lad up front would give us a fighting chance even if the new players brought in are only a slight improvement on the ones they displace. as for killip i just wonder how defenders trusted him who are still with us or have left. know sod all about formations and mid field play but as someone who has only been a defender and what my old man and lad do say, if you do not trust your keeper it affects your game also.

In the here and now I think we've got a good manager in - after making the worst appointment in the history of the club in the summer. It's a massive job turning the playing side around after the mess it was left in but in KC we trust.

As for your snide reference to the man of a thousand ... ...s and total inability to make civil post, I realised it was pointless trying to debate with Poolie 1 very early doors and put him on 'ignore' till he naffed off. His 'timid Timi' crap and bizarre championing of Tom Crawford's non-existent goalscoring prowess was enough for me.

Not sure it’s a big man up front we need, although KC may well agree with that philosophy.

What we desperately need, in my opinion, is pace. That is what puts fear into opposing defences rather than an easily tracked target man. Our success a few seasons ago was based on Oates powerful running and Armstrong feeding off him.

We need someone who can go past defenders and pull them out of position. We have nothing like that at the moment. We have done well so far this month patching up our defence but the other end of the pitch may be more of a challenge.

Agree. Joe Grey isn't the answer in that regard. Though he's featured more in recent games, he looks as far away from claiming a regular start as ever.

No slightly wrong certainly would not bang on about us not signing 4 or 5 any team can get rid of 4 or 5 and replace them with 4 or 5. Im not easily fooled by rajs and hobins false promises. We have brought in a national south lad, someone that's only played in the national North, an ex player coming from india and a player from a club fan owned who has played 10 times this season. Once again it smacks of cheap. Average and slightly depressing . We used to bring in more quality during covid with no crowds. Why on earth are we struggling so much now?

At the end of the day we need to stay in the football league, this chairman needs calling out for what's going on, he got plenty of praise for getting us promoted, he can't live off saving us forever.

Save your breath, Judgeing by some posts above KC does not have a clue, After all he,s signed a player whos played at a higher level than the rest of the squad put togeather.
Some also believe if you do not have pace your past it, All bollocks of course.
A 29 year old whos past it, And their reason is he does not have pace, Good job he,s got a footballing brain then.
A 21 year old from the boro, Many of their fans were suprised he was allowed to leave, But none of us know the nuts and bolts of his contract.
A 22 year old who Brentford thought was good enough to spend time with them.

21 and 22 are hardly kids.

But as i said at the begining save your breath, because nothing the club does is good enough for some.

Todays game is NOT pivital to the seasons outcome.

Forgot to mention Gillingham splashing the cash, The cash they are using is Borrowed against the stadium.

Mixed reaction to my question.
Personally I think a bit more pace would be nice. Another striker, a goalie, a box to box midfielder and a pacey wide man would complete the job......for now.

It’s all opinions. I never said we wouldn’t go into the market. In the same way in the summer I said our transfer policy looked strikingly different to every other league 2 club, I would say - on balance - ours looks rather bizarre again. It is lacking in true League 2 quality that is ready to save us. Those around us are genuinely strengthening, there can be no doubt. Anyway, there’s still time & today could tell us quite a lot in terms of how short we are.

Keith Curle - no complaints. If anyone will save us, it’ll be him.

More broadly what I don’t like is our inability to retain our decent players. I’m not criticising the regime, but I am criticising the fact as a football club we have had 0 continuity for a very long time. Recipe for failure (in my opinion!) and whether we are in league 2 or the national league next season, we have another big old rebuild on our hands.

Totally agree re the pace and trickery element of our side. Colchester and Harrogate - of our rivals - have this in abundance.

Merely casting an opinion on our activity (so far!) versus the others. I remember the reactions to the signatures in the summer, any new signing is greeted with excitement, yet when you actually looked at the track record of those signed (NDjoli, Hastie, Patterson, Hamilton etc) it left a lot be desired for being confident we’d be fine in league 2.

Dolan - yes.
Hartley - we’ll see.
Dodds - we’ll see.
Pruti - we’ll see.

If you did the same for our rivals current signings you’d have far more in the ‘yes’ camp than the ‘we’ll see’ camp. That is all.

Perhaps a better way to articulate it rather than ‘kids and past its’ - so as to not offend some on here.

Todays starting 11 still has Ferguson at centre back and we still persist with Tumilty - who might be on the left side again! No Cooke. Players out of position and players continuously exposed as not good enough, still in the starting pack.

Oh, and the bench isn’t full….

Must admit was expecting Sylla to be given a go at CB, he has played there before.
Could have released fergie to LB, and Dodds to RB, No Murray either.
Cooke must be injured, suppose.
New forward line for Gills today.

As Cooke isn't even named as a sub the safest assumption is he's not fit. More sickness in the camp? We'll soon find out.

Just confirmed on Radio Tees - Cooke is injured.

It was the usual uproar on Twitter when the team was announced - when are they going to notice Curle is very cagey about giving the opposition any news so when players get injured through the week he rarely mentions it?

I will happily - very happily - eat my words if we win today but that team is still an abomination for me despite the 4 signatures (of which 2 can’t play).

Curle in The Mail - 2 targets now gone elsewhere and only 3 possibles left on the table. Played the kid as a centre back against a giant on his league debut and failed once again to motivate the team to put up any sort of fight. We are well and truly up the creek without a paddle. Next Saturday is now make or break.

It's clearly obvious that it's down to money though, offer what they want and you will have a decent chance of getting players,offer peanuts....

Pay peanuts n get shit players in to relegate us and in the process lose the£1M tv moneys.

Pay the goin rate and be about £900 grand better off going into next season. Plus the club wont lose well over 1000 fans.

Given the size of the clubs in the National league it really needs to be absorbed into the EFL as division 3. League 2 and 3 could be regionalised.
The Premier league is not the old division 1 its morphed into something else akin to a super league of foreign players.At least then we will be back to 4 divisions.
Thats one way we can stay in the EFL :uhoh:

a good idea thats been mentioned many times over the years without anything being done about it. cannot be many NL sides with less home gans than quite a few EFL clubs have who rely on away fans to boost their gates.

Pools apparently interested in Oli Finney from Crewe. 8 games this season & after breaking his leg last. This isn't from my usual source,so could be complete bollox.

Crewelad87 said:
I think most Crewe fans would drive him there. He had his use in a very good team when we got promoted. Even then he scored alot of goals but he also missed a hell of alot of chances. Since his leg break though he's been useless. His confidence looks shot, and his younger brother who's unfortunately injured has surpassed him.

There was a few posters put decent cash on us to get promotion pre season.

The gullible idiots

Fell for the Bullshit hook line n sinker.

Most clubs have fans who speculate on their club's performance at the beginning of every season and we are no exception. Once they start they usually carry on in the belief that if they stop doing it that will be the season when success is achieved. Yes it is a daft philosophy but you would be surprised how many people do it. It is like the people who take the same numbers every week in the lottery or the football pools, they daren't miss in case the week they don't enter, that will be the time when their numbers come up.
I usually have a pre season bet but not always on Pools.
My bet this season is a £10 accumulator on. Newcastle to finish top six, Watford to finish top six, Derby to finish top six, Bradford to finish top seven and Chesterfield to finish top seven.
As we speak they are all where I have predicted and I have a cash out offer of £79.23, which is a profit.
I will probably be disappointed but it is a bit of fun and you never know.

With Gillingham and Colchester spending big it’s becoming increasingly difficult to make a case against Pools not being favourite for the drop.

And going by KCs crack in the Mail dosent look like anyones coming in before Rochdale n Carlisle.
Players probably using Pools as a last resort if they dont get fixed up elsewhere by deadline day.
