Well, an improved performance but in the end not quite good enough. I guess you have to take the positives of which there seem to be some and hope we can get something from Eastleigh at the Vic on Sat cos we are sinking fast. Certainly not a humiliation.

April 1912 come to mind, full steam ahead....

Seems to be no player can be arsed to play anymore for us. All claiming injuries.

I’m calling it, you’re a darlo fan on a wind up

I also thought Askey picked the best team he could under the circumstances, there really is a lot of shit in this league
Nothing else to do but keep working at it and hopefully it will turn, but we need more recruitment

Almost a third of the season gone and we’ve lost more than we won is pretty fucking miserable though

We were top of the league ffs. Absolutely embarassing now. Mancini went off against Chesterfield and we've imploded. Gutless, clueless, no ambition.

Yes Clearly I am. After being a season ticket holder for years in the town end and following away games. No more than a Darlo fan than yourself.

Agree

You might be called a Darlo fan if you speak the truth

Mancini, Cooke and Wallace out long term…that’s literally our first choice midfield
In addition Dodds (our best defender) out for the season

Seeing what we all knew , our squad quality isn’t good enough, but still unlucky to have that many injuries and all in the same place.

Team need to show some fight and not feel sorry for ourselves , the worry is we keep sliding and morale is obviously on the floor at the minute

Their keeper had a blinder. Pools are lacking in quality in quite a few positions, but there was plenty of effort and no luck for Pools. Claiming otherwise is shite.

At least the Boreham keeper had saves to make (unlike the Dorking keeper on Sat) and we hit the bar. I gather it was a much better performance than the shit show on Saturday. Clearly, we have problems to overcome and a play off spot is looking increasingly unlikely. Lets hope the season doesnt turn into a relegation fight.

I did notice that while Finney was down & then went off,the only player who remotely showed any interest was Mani D.
No one else went to see if he was OK,most just walked away,as if they didn't give a toss.

We totally dominated the ball but lacked a cutting edge. There’s so much sideways and backwards. We’ve seen this game before, you knew as it got to 70 mins exactly what was coming.

The Wood without a win in 4, desperate for a win at home… step up, Pools.

I worry for him if we see the Dorking game again on Saturday. We’re sinking fast and it’s such a terrible watch.

Piss off with your injury list. We had more than enough chances to score tonight, Saturday and last Tuesday to win all these games.
Injuries make a difference, what you are saying is. Our whole team is crap, other than them. So in your eyes we are relegated already.
Or maybe they not injured at all. They being sold in January and we are keeping them tied up.

Anutha bad result.

Harrison
Hignett
Challinor
Lee
Hartley. Ok forget that one
Curle
Askey


All get absolute pelters for the state of things

But only one common denominator

For those stating how much the chairman chips in

Can I ask how much we miss out on in sponsorship when he plasters his own business on the shirts.

If money was tight for him and the club, use that for other sponsorship opportunities to bring in some cash

Yes the ‘lost the dressing room/players are pretending to be injured’ etc narrative is not in touch with reality

At the start of the season we were an above average (just) Nat league side with some v good individuals….we’ve lost most of them and not replaced and we are seeing the outcome unfortunately

It is very hard to watch and not sure how it changes without serious investment

Agree. No lack of effort, but maybe a lack of spirit at the moment. Combined with the absolute apparent lack of quality on offer.

The clean sheet record is a joke. Four defeats on the trot. This game a different one to the others, but still the same result. The losing / conceding goals mentality still very much embedded in Hartlepool United.

The goals have run out & we’re incapable of keeping the back door shut.

Their keeper made good saves and earned his money. This time, Jameson didn’t need to, and we’ve conceded one of the only real chances that the Wood had. Unlucky, but we also make & need to start making our own luck, not least to save a good man his job before it’s too late.

Pools top of the league and scoring goals for fun and now.. three games without a goal. All clubs have injuries and disciplinary problems but has anyone really got a clue what is going on here? Chesterfield already given their ticket back to the league it would seem. Might have a daft bet on Southend joining them. Anyone wanna buy my Pools for champions bet? Thought not. Ah well, once a Poolie always one.

Once again we played tippy tappy across the pitch without any urgency to get forward and hurt the opposition. I'm sorry to say this but Askey has to take responsibility for these performances. We are just too slow in breaking forward. Once again having dominated the play we give away a set piece and they score. Thankfully it was flagged offside but it was a warning. We can't go on like this but I'm afraid under this manager we are likely to. Sort it out JA or tell Raj you haven't an answer.

Were we any more unlucky tonight than we were lucky against Dagenham and Gateshead earlier this year ?

Say it quietly but we are probably fortunate we have as many points as we do

Far from a humiliation Ozzy we should have won. Keeper who is superb pulled of at least 4 good saves no more so than the ManiD close range powerful shot that would probably have beaten 9 out 10 good keepers. The positives Nicky ran the game and lasted the full 99 mins which was a surprise considering he has not played since last season & taking his age into consideration. Everyone give 100% yet we still lose to a blatent foul goal. Lacey made a big difference & ManiO played well. Josh had his best game of the season and was very unlucky not to score. Possibly the only weak link being Finney who worked hard but lacked something. When Finney went off and Joe came on we looked more dangerous going forward.Also thought Crawford had a very good game and also could have scored ( looked a different player along side Nicky ).Mani D worked hard but nothing falling for him needs a goal like Josh. Negatives Crawford could well be out a while got kicked from pillow to post. Overall well happy and much more confident we will soon start a good run especially with the GOAT who thrives at this level.

I understand your frustration but did you watch the game

It was the same when Crawford was down or when Josh looked like he was having a stroke towards the end (I think/hope he'd just had a knock in the nuts). Mani D was the only player even slightly interested. Even at schoolboy/girl level it's basic managerial stuff that you've got to get a team to gel so they play as a team and look out for each other. Then they'll play better. This lot don't look like they even know each other.

On a positive note I thought Featherstone did what he does really well tonight (especially considering his lack of match fitness) and it meant that it looked like we had a proper midfield for the first time in weeks. And Grey was a breath of fresh air when he came on.

Listened to the commentary tonight and fella doing the game (not Rob Lowe) straight away prior to the goal said that Johnson had been clearly shoved in the back before their lad scored. Sounds as though their keeper had a blinder and was named man of the match. We also hit the bar. Desperately need a bit of luck both with injuries and in front of goal. Sounds as though both Finney and Crawford went off injured tonight- it's just relentless.

Sounded as if Feaths had a good game - more organised, less balls into the box and allowed Crawford to get further forward. Feaths also did the full 90+, which is encouraging given his lack of game time.

We've just got to hope that Raj is able and willing to allow the manager and the new fella to bring in more bodies.Would like to think that this is the case or really no point bringing in a new head of recruitment

When we play crap it is what it is although very frustrating. But when the lads play well and give 100% and are very unlucky to lose I struggle to understand your comments.

I don't get what you're struggling to understand. I'm saying that if a player gets injured then in an ideal scenario his teammates should be concerned. I didn't see that tonight with our injuries. I'm not questioning our effort tonight. We played better than we have recently and their keeper won the match for them.

OK fckpoolie my apologies

No worries Leggie 43. We're (almost) all Poolies on here and we all just want the lads to do well.

We a club with no ambition.
And a overated manager who hides behind a few injuries.
Anutha goaless defeat were the poor finishing is made out by a few that BW have a world class goalkeeper.

So now its a Consolidation season and we live in a Mickey Mouse World that next season we piss this league.
Ye wellaye.

Spot on fckpoolie

Nail on head no ambition whatsoever just to plod on and hope for the best. Well if nothings dobe we will have plenty of derbys next season.

These results are nothing to do with the chairman, just like last season nothing to see here. Its all the managers fault, players and tea lady.

The definition off Sanity.
Doing the same shit of feeding different managers on scraps and hopeing for a better outcome.

As the results show.
Dont blame me for the results and false hope which has totally evaporated now.

Root n branch changes required grom top to bottom.
Sing out.
No apologies to his mini fan club brigade.
Its coffee time yet again.

Spot on there.
He said in his interview, Boreham Wood will finish no doubt higher than us, at the end of the season. That's loser talk in my eyes. Something I don't want to hear a Pools manager say.

Askey had half just under season last season to keep us up. Then he blames Sylla for bringing the dressing room down and moral, when we lost against Newport, Crawley and getting relegated.
This season Injuries and Umerah, who clearly doesn't want to be here. Askey team last night's was pretty much a league 2 experience side. Should have wiped the floor with them. Nathan Ashmoor should get his England call up on last night performance.

Our goal scorers aren't injured.....

The goal should've been disallowed and a blatant penalty on Featherstone was ignored, where was last night's ref from because they were two big decisions that went against us?

Not sure about a penalty for us but was just waiting for the whistle to go before their goal for the push. johnson was not outmuscled as someone said, he was pushed no more no less. it was a blatent one and not something clever that might have been missed. all in all we should have scored in the first half with our dominance and if we had chased the game more then until we waited for added time we might have done it. biggest worry again is how serious the injuries to crawford and umerah are and if nicky can recover in time for saturday. honestly could not care less apart for the lad himself how serious finneys injury is. for me i,d be happy if he joined prutti in his non playing role. even their commentator said we were unlucky not to get anything from the game. i fully agree and a goaless draw looked odds on and the players deserved it.

It appears that the refs in all the leagues are leaving a lot to be desired. Even the ones sat in a cosy studio as VAR operators can't seem to get it right.
When I talk to fans of other club the theme is that refereejng in this country is going backwards.
Whether it is incompetence on the officials part, instructions from above or a combination of both I don't know but we seem to be the losers at the moment when it comes to the big decisions.
Nobody seems to care when fans travel up and down the country are having to witness blatant incompetence from the officials but hey when were fans ever considered by the hierarchy.
I've always said if I ever lost my passion for football it will be because the officials will have driven me away with their arrogance and apparent belief that the game is all about them.

Nathan Ashmore(the BW keeper) is by reputation one of the very best keepers in the National League.

have been and seen part of all that in the past. i just have not got the time to post every issue i have witnessed or know about on here. all i can say is those running the show need replacing quickly. if you are going to a game let me know and i,ll tell you all i do know. there is certainly an agenda out there somewhere and most fans do not like it.

Highlights are on the OS now - take a look. It's a blatant push - maybe Johnson should have gone down like a sack of potatoes? We're always dunces at the gamesmanship other NL sides do so well.

Spot on there.
He said in his interview, Boreham Wood will finish no doubt higher than us, at the end of the season. That's loser talk in my eyes. Something I don't want to hear a Pools manager say.

Making stuff up again... oh dear What he says is "come the end of the season, they'll finish a lot higher" - which is what every pundit reckons as they made the play-offs last season.

There was no "than us" - so you whole comment is the usual 'sack the manager' nonsense.

100%

There is another common denominator Sweeny!

Sounds interesting Mr Accy, I just might take you up on that.

Do you think we should ask for a replay??

You'd have a better chance of success if you asked for the moon.

Good point Mr G. Some people seem to give him a god like status but, for the life of me, I can't see what he's done to warrant it.

Harrison was manager before Raj took over
