The Poolie Bunker

because boland and strachan are no better, boland had an excellent debut and has done little else. strachan is a committed player but seems to play like a crab everything goes sideways or worse backwards

not much more but the lad hasnt been given a run in the team in all fairness and hes liable to pop up with a goal. considering hes allegedly the highest earner with proctor 3k a week im surprised KH is'nt telling DW to play them

Although I only caught the first half last night, the only time I saw Bullock in the second half was either when he fouled someone, or moved out of the way of the ball.

It's time for him to be dropped for good.

I have never seen him do anything more than put in an average performance, he must touch the ball less than anyone else on the pitch (including the ref). Watching him run reminds me of a lad at school who had an underactive thyroid. He could run in a straight line, but couldn't accelerate or change direction.

Although Strachan rarely plays a forward ball, he gets tackles in and you are aware that he is on the pitch. Even an unfit Boland is a better option.

The problem with Bullock is he has no pace whatsoever, the thinh he does most is slide tackle because he's always a yard behind the game.

I never seen him have a good game for Pools and I can barely rememeber a good team performance when he's been in it. He's one of Scotty's trio of terrible signings alond with Llewellyn and Proctor and I can't believe he's getting a game ahead of Strachan, I'd rather see either of the Turnbulls in the team.

WHEN YOU'RE 1-0 UP AWAY FROM HOME, you want the ball to go sideways or backwards. I don't normally criticise players ... but Bullock is bollox! He plays like a player who's just turned ep from another country, doesn't speak the language, has never met the players and walked off the plane onto the pitch and never actually even seen or played football before and has read a pamphlet about it on the plane coming over ...he just looks confused and jet lagged:roll:..but apart from that!!!

To avoid getting angry when anyone mentions Bullock....





















.... just think of Sandra!
