Jeoff Stelling has had enough according to his twitter account. He thinks we need a new manager now but it’s too late in my opinion. We need a miracle like that Ronnie bloke I think ex Tranmere who kept us up. I forget his name

Who thinks Curle should go now?

There’s the dilemma, will this lot gel under Curle or can we find a saviour?
I see no improvement under Curles bizarre tactics and now doubt we ever will, his subs last night were a joke and actually made things worse, he sees something in the Blackpool kid that goes over my head
But the the prospect of asking a saviour in no matter how good they are and the time it will take to get up to speed is not a good.
The answer is let Sweeney take over till the end of the season, he knows the players and no doubt will have his own view of how a team should play.
He is the only practical solution given the time restraints, because this utter delusion of bizarre management cannot continue a game longer.

Last night goes down as one of the worst matches I have ever watched in my my decades watching Pools, a mockery of a match, a how not to do it match, just go Curle, the mask has dropped, the games up.

Given the importance of the game.
The responce from the Manager n Players was nothing short of criminal.
We deffo an over supported club.
But can see that changing megarly next season.

give him the job temporary again and look out for a manager who knows everything about the national league for next season. playing at home and not bothering the keeper one bit is a bloody disgrace. if we are going down lets make a fight of it and not go down with a wimper.

Yes agree because of time constraints going to be difficult. Guess Sweens is our only option but this clown has to go. I would be amazed if he is still in his job if we don’t win on Saturday

It all makes Graeme Lee’s tenure look better.

league games have really been a varying degree of crap since challinors last game at leyton orient with as many memorable games as there was WW2 italian war heroes or present day comedians to make you laugh.

Both have had an ability to have you scratching your heed .

KC needs to be on his bike and Sweeney given the job till the end of the season. He might improve things and even if he doesn't, we cant be any worse off because now it is only a question of "how" we get relegated not "if."

Agree completely.

Nobody should expect miracles if Tony Sweeney takes over. He lost 4 league games on the spin during his last period as caretaker when Challinor walked - with a much better squad at his disposal than he'd have now.

That said, what have we got to lose by making the change? Curle's touchline inertia during the second half last night was unforgiveable. Pools wouldn't have scored if they'd played till midnight.

Yep, as I said above, Sweeney might bring about an improvement and even if he doesn't we are no worse off. I dont think anyone would expect miracles considering what he has to work with. Trying to bring a new face in at this stage would prove difficult, be potentially very disruptive and might make no more difference than if Sweens had a go.

I really don’t understand Curle. If he wants to play long ball then we need to press up to win the knock ons or second balls. Instead we are so stretched and the long punts so inaccurate that the players either get nowhere near the ball when it comes down or win the header with only 5 opposition players around them?
I don’t see us staying up with Curle in charge. We’ve thrown away 2 winnable games in Crewe and last night with a red card and some bizarre tactics

It has been obvious for quite a while that we are going down, its just a question of do we go down fighting or just capitulate. The outcome will be the same but if we go down fighting the fans will be behind the team.

Write Saturday off regardless the result. Say Singh sacked him this week or Saturday night.

They will only be 12 games left. We know with Raj, his recruitment process takes time. Say it takes him a minimum of 4/5 weeks. That only leaves us say 6 hard games left.
Then the damage is done.

The biggest Questions are, who's want to come and work under Singh, given his track record of management and the other big question is who is dumb enough to come and manage us?

Unless the new management team start building now for next season. Get a good NL manager in so we can hit the ground running. Rather than wait to a few weeks before the season starts and sign rubbish.

Bring Sweens in, we are relegated regardless.

At least Sweeney can take us down with our pride intact if nowt else. But…you never know, if we can just get an organiser on board.
Curle’s attitude to football is what abstract art is to portrait painting.

There can’t be many back room staff left, where is the Recruitment Consultant, Alex the media fella, Tobin leaving in a few weeks, no replacement as yet ?

Sounds like Asset Stripping.

I’ve been clinging onto a thin sliver of hope that 2 wins changes the outlook massively but I’m not seeing where they’re coming from.
We now have 6 games against top 8, 5 games against middle 8 and 2 against the bottom 8. That doesn’t add up to the 5 wins KC says we need

Or a bloated number of back room staff for the club to carry.

no just stripping.

Maybe cutting back on staff in preparation for life in the National League.

It was also my worst watch, Not because of the players but solely because of the tactics.
If you or me any fan for that matter were to study Newports last 5-6 games
You can EASILY see there tactics, There manager does not try to hide anything
Even the Newport fans can tell you exactly how they will set up and play.

And our tactics were the oppisite of what they should have been.

THE FINAL STRAW, Last night for me was taking Kemp off, How could Curle possibly know we would not get a free kick in the attacking third.
With mins to go.

Seems to have lost the plot. Surely even Raj must see this? When Walsall tear us a new one as they surely will on Saturday, Curle should be sacked. If not, I suspect the fans will start to make their feelings known.

I honestly can't get over how bad that was last night. Has to be one of the worst ever matches to be played out. Two utter dross teams. Neither deserved anything.

When are we ever prepared under raj Singh? We will scrape the barrel once again come August.

They were equally inept first half but Newport's manager obviously told his side at half time Pools were there for the taking. We were under the cosh from the kick off. Christ knows what Curle said to his players at half time. 'Hang in there and we might get a point' would be my best guess.

I lost total faith in having any hope after last night. I thought Saturday was bad, but this was on another level. The team that went down to the conference would wipe the floor with this lot.

This lad from Blackpool should never of even been signed let alone be on the pitch. One of a catalogue of cheap joke signings. Didn't he start the season at Hyde? Now he is asked to save us. What a total joke.

Prior to the January window I stuck up for Curle as I honestly thought he could turn it around. Since then the standard of football played has been shocking to say the least and last night had to be the final straw. To not have shot or attempt anywhere near their goal was just embarrassing, the only positive thing I could say about Newport was they looked organised but that's probably just because we are sooo poor. So to not even trouble another another poor side is unacceptable. I've never seen so many crap pointless aimless punts forward to nobody in a game, not even on a Sunday morning!. Tactics, formation and personnel all wrong. He played with wingers so why not play kiernan,a player he signed who is a bloody winger!. As for Nieng, he is one of the worst players I've seen in a long time here, only thing the lad does is foul players, he's so far off this level it's embarrassing. Thought Hartley might do a job for us but he spends most game giving it straight back to the opposition and that must have rubbed off on foran last night as that's all he was doing. Yet to see anything to suggest Finney is a good player, he never gets involved in the game. Pruti and Ferguson for me did well last night and along with the keeper probably the only ones who could come off saying I didn't do to bad tonight. As for the strikers, you can only score goals if you get fed, we feed them absolutely nothing. Umerah needs balls in behind and crosses coming in, not hoofs up field where he has players surrounding him. Clarke looked very rusty but even he came deep looking for the ball.
We have a massive lack of quality in this group and I doubt there's enough to keep us up but it's worth changing it now because with Curle and his abysmal tactics we are as good as gone.
