They will score!

Over to you's

0-2 The " Machine " Mancini both goals in the hour he plays.

So many variables makes this one ultra hard to predict. Can Mancini perform effectively after only a two day break? Crawford and Hendrie both just back from lenghty injuries so how will they cope with two games with only a 48 hour gap? How well will the two new lads play on debut? Fylde had no game on Saturday so will be fresher and have home advantage. I'm going for a narrow defeat with Mancini only playing 30 minutes . Hope I'm wrong.

As an Edit: Fylde only won three games at home all season. So......this is Pools.

Fylde might have only won 3 games at home but we have only won 3 games away.

This might be a boring 0-0 draw.

0-1 Crawford after Mancini does all the werk.
256 poolies

If our midfield can protect Mancini and let him play - given he gets about the same amount of time. We should be winning this game hands down.

Duffus should he start will be wanting to get off the mark and that new striker new start thing (especially against these) should see him either notch or come very close !

it will be a decent enough game - but i wouldnt be surprised if we both took a share of the points

We've not had one of those since September 2022... should be decent odds if the bookies weren't such greedy beggars.

Unchanged team from Saturday with Parkes and Duffus on the bench. We shall see.

2-1. to us

Flyde 0- 3 Pools Grey, Mancini, Duffus Pen.

Crowd 2325, 275 Poolies

need they 3 points off these gits who started our injury crisis with dan dodds in the home game against them. do em for dan lads.

16 mins and 1 down!

losing 1-0 to a poor side
Stephenson looking like a weak link

So it wont be 0-0, then.

Make that 2 down - Shit with a capital S

Bloody hell 2 down now

2-0 ffs

Slightly unlucjy deflection but Ferguson just getting embarassed by their winger

For FUCKS Sake

You don't have to watch any horror films do you? There is enough watching this lot week after week.

Glad I didn’t cough up for the National League TV for this one… stuff of nightmares

This could be a long night unless Lennie does something pretty damn quick.

Benny hill defending by Ferguson for the second

I'm gonna be ultra positive we will score, just depends how many we let in

stream keeps cutting out as well but we look really poor and devoid of intent---they probably have their feet up for next month after the Oxford win

Agree about Ferguson but we have 2 covering midfielders in wallace/featherstone and they are stopping jack shit.

Call me a miserable pessimist if you like but I suspect there is more to come.

it needs to be said Fylde are fucking shite as well--again you'd hope the players would look around an empty stadium and some professional pride would kick in...

Snooker on BBC2 beckons, just to cheer me up

Ferguson is being run ragged, can't put a tackle in just backing off every time

Three Pools players coming back from injury playing two games in three days was always going to be difficult especially with Fylde having the weekend off. I thought Lenny would have changed things around.

Fylde are shite, Dixon looks worse fucking dreadful

Dixonan accident waiting to happen, Mancin looks tired, Cooke anonymous

This is so bad I’ve started watching the Boro match instead

Mancini is bound to be suffering from fatigue. Just hoping he doesn't injured.

Has anyone seen our midfield? Have they gone to the f’ing pub or something!

Ferguson is knackered because he’s got no cover at all on the left.

Blame Cooke for that--too slow or lazy to track back properly

Featherstone and Wallace v poor also---all Fylde doing is pressing and we have no answer--miserable half

Get the 2 new lads on at half time

Stephenson off hes being destroyed and looks out of his depth
Cooke off for Duffus and put Grey out wide.

The rest of them count themselves lucky a truly abysmal leaderless display from a bunch of poor players

They are far to fast for some of our lazy carthorses.
They are showing us how to play football just embarrassing.

Pools are nowhere near Fylde, and Fylde are shite

Fylde are shite really they are playing us of the park

Fylde should be more up, just hit the process

Tired or not this is an absolute disgrace!

Stupid Ferguson free kick, keeper beat post hit could have been another goal

we are doing a good impersonation of oxford city last saturday.

Raj Singh not at game h
e's at the Riverside watching the Boro.
Bit cheeky that like.

Get the new lads on at HT and try not to fold completely. Seems Lenny is not the Messiah.

Some of these players like cooke, Wallace, Dixon, Onariase just play like they couldn't give a shit. The effort some of them put in is unacceptable, players just run past some of them and they make minimal effort to put a tackle in. Dixon is just one of the worst keepers I've ever seen, any save he does make is gathered at the second attempt. Grey runs and puts effort in but doesn't have the quality, Ferguson I'm sure is trying but he's so bad at defending and stopping crosses coming in, he's slow and gets tortured by most wide players. Crawford plays one good game in 5/6, featherstone is totally anonymous unless we are controlling a game. The team is just so poor and full of passengers. Mancini looks knackered as does Stephenson. Some manager has a mammoth task ahead of them, we make teams second bottom look like world beaters. It's just not good enough

This, they cannot play twice in 3/4 days, to me is a load of bollocks. Jesus we are talking about 90 minutes per game NOT 8 hours.

There are jobs where you bloody well work hard for 8 hours a day, 5/6 days of the week and these fairies struggle to do 3 hours a week.

the post is our best player at the moment and one of the quickest.

Two gears only.
Walk and trot.

Stephenson looks way below the required standard, Cooke is a tortoise, and Wallace Crawford and Feather look knackered

Mancini looks off it as well but is getting no help....its abysmal and as usual no one standing up

Utterly abysmal half - could be 4-0 not 2-0.

Hats off to auld Lennie for the tactical masterstroke of getting Dixon to hoof it long every feckin' time. My picture froze as soon as he put some ice on it, so I can only guess that Grey and Mancini weren't winning a right lot in the air. What's next, put the big lad on and play it short?
