Just reading through the start of this thread after watching the game. Neither team was poor (York haven't been beaten in about 6 and you could see why) and it was a good game so all of this "two poor teams and York the better side" stuff is just negative bollocks.

We looked much, much better at the back. Dixon had a good game in goal with proper defenders in front of him (he couldn't do much about their goal - it was panic stations, took a slight deflection and went right into the corner).

Featherstone and Crawford played well, Cook had his best game in ages (he played great) and it was a breath of fresh air to see Manny D back. He looked rusty but still scored 2. Mancini was being marked very tightly but looked a class above while he was fresh. I can't believe we've landed Waterfall and Parkes after the shite we've had to endure recently. Just yes.

The new lads all look very promising. Courtney Senior missed a couple of great chances but his positioning, running and attacking balls look like just what we need.

As for Phillips - he looks well up for it.

Pipe down Comical Ali

Two shit teams that don't seem interested in letting the goalkeepers join in.

Overall, I was delighted with the team’s performance and think that if they can continue this form, we will end the season the same way as we started it.

That is the best I have seen Pools play for about 4 years. Dixon fantastic. The new defenders hard bastards throwing their bodies in. Last ditch defending. Everything we have been calling for. Featherstone fantastic, Cooke the game of his life . Crawford fighting for everything. Senior the new winger quick as fuck. Khan class act . Mani back brilliant. Pools worked their socks off. Kevin Philipps screaming his head of all match . Mancini poor today. Who have I missed out we conceded at the end but fucking hell we where never going to give in. Don’t anyone criticise Pools today. They were brilliant. Class act. Man of the match don’t know but Cooke must be up there. The new defenders hate conceding aggressive loved it. Parkes brilliant. It’s past midnight here now. At fuckin last. Brilliant game and York added to it also. Very organised . Well done Raj.
Goodnight lads. Now that’s a real pools team

Its strange how we all see the game in different ways.

Unlike Mr KPG, myself and the people I stand with did not think that these where two shit teams, we actually thought that York where one of the better teams to play at the Vic this season.

Also, unlike Mr Loyal-fan we all agreed that Nicky Featherstone had an excellent game.
I do agree with Loyal-fan that Cooke had a great game.

Dixon also had his best game for Pools, the defenders Hendrie, Waterfall & Parkes looked solid and would probably have kept a clean sheet if Senior had just taken the ball to the corner flag and kept it there rather than give it away leading to the breakaway for the York goal.

Special praise must go to Manni D who took a terrible kick to his head, we weren’t sure if he was coming back onto the pitch but he picked himself up and scored our goals.

Harra, Have a word with Mr Loyal will ya.

Can you also ask him to change his user name from Loyal

Careful you aren’t allowed to say we weren’t great in the first half without some of our more sensitive fans menstruating,

Did you do biology at school

It’s the modern world snowy everyone is allowed to menstruate these days…this is a woke messageboard

It was a tight game and York certainly aren’t mugs these days. Their support was the noisiest I can remember from them - and that includes games at Bootham Crescent!

I liked the tactical nous KP showed. He started with Mani up front, Khan wide left, Mancini wide right and Cooke in behind Mani. Khan showed some early promise but Mancini was wasted hugging the touchline - he’s not a natural winger. TBH Pools were pretty poor and devoid of ideas for a lot of the first half.

Second half was better but we still didn’t look like scoring - till the 69th minute, when KP subbed Khan and brought Senior on - to play wide right. Mancini was allowed to go into the middle where he looked a lot happier. More importantly, Senior - a real winger - took York’s left back to the cleaners and set up a goal for Mani within 3 minutes of coming on!

Ain’t it grand to have some options off the bench and a manager who knows how to change the game with them!

Agree on Mancini playing him more centrally is a better option

I thought first 15 we were excellent, defended great firat half. I then thought york were the better team last 15 to 20 minutes of the half and i was slightly dissapointed to be fair. Thought we ran out of ideas a bit, was a bit of a stalemate nil nil look about the game. Luckily the manager had the balls to change things and i think maybe biased we fully deserved the win.

I honestly believe going forward we have played way better earlier in the season, but defensively and the fight shown was something we have rarely seen.

Its one win and a massive step forward, lets see if we can put in a performance away now.

Bit of aggro after the game as well with the Yorkies, few videos going about the bother on church street.

Any idea what happened.

Waterfall having a (Word) with just about everyone today.

If a pass was wrong, He told them
When not tracking , He told them.
No challenge, He told them.

Its good to have men at the back again.

At this stage of the proceedings wins are a necessary requirement. How they are arrived at is on the back burner at present.
Safety is the first priority.
After that anything is possible, even the play offs.
KP highlighted that there was too much negativity surrounding the club and I'm sure he wasn't just relating to the players only.
If we are also positive it might help the players to act similarly. I think it is worth a try.

It was a positive performance at the end of the day with fight and passion, a lot of it brought in by the new lads and a manager that was bang up for it. Cant ask much more than that, it was far from a perfect performance but who cares we won, we would take that every week.

Hopefully that wasn't Manny Ds last game for Pools.
Transfer Window for league clubs shuts on Wednesday. Be surprised if there's no offers.

Good to see Dixon get the Man of the Match award despite his many critics. Although personally I’d have given it to Cooke, who was at the heart of most of our attacking play yesterday.

would like to see Burton get a chance too
