The Heed commentator just said that "the Pools fans deserve better than what they've got".

I couldn't agree more.

Singh out NOW

I expect Pools were applauded off.

I actually take my hat off to you mate, over 29,000 posts you’ve been peddling the same stuff. As iconic as Pools you.

Nothings new…and if you came on the board more frequently you’d find out my ‘revised’ opinion…but I’ll still be here after 39,000 posts so don’t fret, I’ll always be here for you.

Certainly cannot remember conceding 6 in one half!

Is their any point staying in this league if were not willing to compete with these sides? Its only going to happen again next season.

A good point. Maybe a relegation will be what we need for a total top to bottom shake up. This cant go on.

I’m surprised it was only six.

How far have we got to drop for Raj to set a proper budget for the actual league we are in

Some dont grasp that though. They think because you bring 20 players in we are matching other clubs. Keep buying cheap shite or loans no one wants and these results will keep happening.

A proper budget.

Clearly this is a joke. A funny one admittedly

Joe Monks clearly has an eye for a player.

This is just too much. I’ve had enough…I’m taking the dogs out….

Quality not quantity is the solution even if we have to pay a few quid above the Minimum Wage.

As in life, its value not cost that matters. We've got a lot of players who were EFL so are likely to be on decent money but not doing the business for us.
Just got to hope we can get enough points for safety, then hope we get the rebuild that is so badly needed.

Back to the game. That was THE most inept performance I've seen from a Pools manager EVER. And that includes the Scottish git and Dickie Money.

He did NOTHING to address the fact that Fergusson was being overun by sometimes up to three players on the left. NOTHING! Even the Heed commentators were saying that Fergie must be knackered. The Heed central midfielder was bossing the game for 90 minutes and had acres of space for 90 minutes. He did NOTHING about it. He put a lad in at RB who doesn't look like he can even play football when we've got Louis Stephensen. I've gone right off Super Kev after tonight.

Who gives a crap. Seriously, they more to life than football. It's all Raj fault.

Great idea, might have done the same but it's chucking it down here in Leigh.

The two poo bags I brought back are the highlight of the night.

Waiting for Waddell to show citing his ‘facts’ about what a great manager Phillips is

You could of shown some self pride n waited till you got home.

He is a corker only the other day trying to tell us how well we are doing as a club, because Scunthorpe and Torquay are below us. Well his best pal is doing a mighty fine job of destroying yet another great north eastern club.

Sat at home drinking again as usual?
Mani O..oh oh oh.
One of our best.
Heed fans were actually cheering him if you listen closely
And please pay attention to the way he strolls back into position after making that howler.
Consistent if nothing else.

get your CV into raj quick. you sound as if you have the right credentials for the job.

Care to go and quote me on what i actually said ?

whilst i,ll agree the problem is we have no decent mid fielders to put in. bloody cooke came on and looked as if he was having a kick around with his mates in a park killing time. these mid fielders know they are going to get a game because there is no bugger else and its a pity as i,d love to see cooke,s contract being cancelled and to empty his locker with the minimum we need to pay him. we need to compare our side when we played them at the vic to see how they have improved and how far back we have gone. we have been hammered before but not as bad as that. 6 second half goals after going in level at the break. liked to have heard both half time team talks.

P10 W4 D3 L3 Win Rate 40.0%

Hows that?
Want me to explain what percentages mean?
I know you struggle with adding and subtracting like.
Let me know

pity it will not be a dorking wanderers type one. the soft lazy bastards need it apart from grey and a couple more.

You couldn't blame Cooke for that performance, what about Crawford amongst others, completely anonymous, strange that KP said in his post match interview that the players were unfit?, why are they unfit Kevin, was he pushing the coaching staff under the bus?

they deserve their money back at least.

Yeah those percentages are tumbling at a rate of knotts havent won for what 5 games? Just been tortured and predictably tortured by the massive club of Gateshead, tactically clueless in the last 3 away games. Playing a right back who didnt seem to know what day it was. Wants pace in the team, so what happens sign a load of players but have the most static midfield ever. Then says he never saw it coming? Never saw it coming? Half the bunker saw it coming but somehow he didnt. At least its deflecting from the complete joker running our club into the ground.

speechless at that performance - it was like we had already been given our fate of being relegated. Id imagine Oxford city would give them a better going at that what we did last night ! Mani O is an absolute hand grenade of a defender ! he shouldnt play for us ever again ! but again so shouldnt alof of the others !
The Gateshead commentators even picked out what was fundamentally wrong with Pools throughout the game. In which id imagine most would of agreed on here as i was barking the same orders at the telly. Shame KP didnt see it !

I stated Gateshead didnt have any stand out players - ill eat my hat... the entire bastard 11 are all standout players. That Tinkler at CB and his counterpart in the center just ran the show all night - absolutely ridiculous. Thats the standard we should be playing at. Fast one touch football with a desire to move the ball into attacking positions and most importantly pass forwards and be direct. Their penalty came from the CB passing the ball into our box. Cant say we do that at all ! The amount of wrongs and analysis you could take from that game, KP would be sat there all day and night with the white board out ! starting to loose some faith in him tbh. last night was men vs boys ! truly appauling. RAJ OUT !

Kwaku pulled out of a 50/50 early on and then ran around looking like he was concussed.
Mani O was his usual lazy lackadaisical self and produced another of his howlers costing us yet another goal
Fergie moved as if he was again wearing divers boots, never getting close to anyone, just standing off and showing the opponent the outside allowing crosses in.
There was a huge gap on the left in front of him which admittedly didn't help
Thing is KP has jack shit to choose from at the moment.
Personally I would play Stephenson and recall Pruti and Burton if that were possible.
Its been said a million times there are too many who too often look tired and disinterested when we are up against it, which was obvious to everyone last night.
The towel was well and truly thrown in and KP hinted as much when interviewed citing results from the players GPS vests.
KP also said they are not fit enough, while adding he had to be careful in what he said because he had no choice but to soldier on with the same shite (or words to that effect).
If hes right and the players aren't fit enough at this stage in the season, just what has that nice bloke First team coach been doing with them all this time?

When you’re watching shite it can be a trigger like ‘post traumatic shite disorder’.

said it before about crawford that his best games are the ones where the rest of the side plays well. he has the ability but no heart. after watching our right back i think we can now give KP some slack now for playing lacey there and wonder if he was expecting a performance like that from him.

hes proven to himself with his own words prior to making some of these absolute shit loans that kids cannot operate at this level ! Very rarely will you get an 18/19 year old who can adapt and play well in the mans game. If they do they dont come on loan to NL sides. They are out there making their debuts for England i.e Mainoo ! Throwing the kid in against a good side was always going to be suicide Last night.

also Agyemang again... nothing ! another kid not capable of this level !

Agree...especially regards Kwaku and Agyemang.
But not much available to anyone anywhere is there after Jan.
Injured wanting game time for recovery or young kids wanting experience.
KP was brought in to stop the rot and keep us away from the bottom 4...not to get us into the playoffs this season ffs.
Despite last night I still back him to do that.

really we have no other option to stick with him and hope he can turn things around for the rest of the season. you are right that none of these kids would be signed on loan if it had in the summer. history has shown that changing the manager at the first opportunity has not worked for us and other clubs who go down that line. when you look at the clubs with gates we,d be embarresed with who have overachieved one thing most have in common is they have something pools have not got, a bit of stability.

in recent years everton kids put 7 past us, torquay did the same and over the years i,ve seen many games were teams put 5 or 6 past us away from home. know you forget the games in time but i cannot remember feeling as downhearted as i was when i turned off just before the 90 minutes were up. losing to a better team i can take but not one who makes us look complete fools on top of it.

On the rare occassion i find myself agreeing with your post. Unfortunately Phillips has signed quite a few since coming in. Has had time to sort the fitness out etc. He also has watched us criminally sit back in 3 games in a row away and the same tactic has not worked.

Ha Ha!!
