Christ on a bike, the bloke is deranged.

Well....

Surprised the Crystal Palace lad isn't in the squad. Maybe he picked up an injury yet another.

As predicted ....Mani dropped for the old knackered carthorse...ffs

Have a word with your appointed manager

Going for it!

Lost for words, least this HAS to be his last game

How come this signing was sanctioned? What was the board thinking?

Last seasons 2 top scores on the bench, it’s hoof football up to Madine then.

But he’s going out to win the game

If we win today, will this be classed as a master stroke?

I wonder if he has decided which players are most likely to get involved in a bar room punch up and put them in the team.

This is going to be a seriously grim watch

7 goals in 11 games so far this God forsaken season and the two guys who have scored 5 of them are left on the bench, unbelievable. Really hope this is his last game for all our sakes.

Good job you dont work for the streaming company.

The FGR manager will think xmas has come early

At least Dave is back...

Maybe they have offers on the table for Grey and Mani and don’t want them getting injured.

Please sack him now

Still time to sack him before the game?

Ready to puff up lads...lets go toe to toe with them for Uncle Darren...

Wondering when the first sending off will occur. I'm going for 35th minute.

No Mani . Sarll lost the plot if he ever had a plot.

Our best players on the bench eh!

first 2 mins

pointless foul, standing in front of ball to slow game down, 2 aimless punts fwd and a scramble in our box.....we are just an awful side to watch under this bloke

Xxx duo post

actuially been ok so far--hassling high up pitch and this is probably Campbells best position

Uncle Darren who you appointed?!

some decent interplay with Dodds and Campbell--not sure how Charman got selected over Grey even with this style of play

Not sure who their #7 is but he is rapid

done what we set out to do so far in terms of disrupting them but they are coming more into it....they have soem good players especially the 7 and 11

We dragging them down to our level.
Then Gunna Mike Tyson suckered punch them.

Of course we are.

Question is: is their attack better than our defence?

Any half time verdicts from those who can see the game?

Marginally better. But still can’t too excited. Forest Green better than us but again not world beaters

Exactly what you'd expect. They've looked a bit more likely to score than us (and are playing more football) but basically two bad teams with no plan. Madine looks a mile off the pace and seems to be just going through the motions. Can't see where we're going to get a goal from with this midfield/attack. Basically bloody awful.

We have spread the ball around better particularly on the right . Ferguson more forward. Madine still looks like a lump of concrete. Miles of the pace which I guess you would expect being out for 1.5 years. Still don’t look like we are going to score goals. Like I said forget playoffs look like a bottom 7 side

They ve got Quigley from Chesterfield and Cardwell from Southend on the bench, expect to see them come on in the second half. Their wingers are a bit sharp, weve not really created anything as usual.

Just a matter of before their better players take their toll.

No better or worse than previous games although that said we look a bit more solid in a wholly tedious way.

Great word tedious sums us up perfectly.

If you have any ironing to do , do it while watching Pools. When you look up towards the tv you have missed nothing

Is that 5 bookings for Parkes and a suspension?

Madine off Manny D on.

Forest Green take the lead as predicted. Floodgates time?

One down.

anyone surprised?

I missed the goal as I’d gone for a piss but Sarll has now put Grey on in Place of Robinson.

Was the goal well worked or a Pools cock up?

6 hours since we scored a goal ffs!
