The Poolie Bunker

yet again overpowered in midfiled, Sheron and Miley overmatched and he has Mancini very high with long balls so cant get into it

2-1 mani

2-1 Mani D

Cleary is just playing 2 divs below where he should be--all about getting him the ball one on one

Pools 3 good goal chances in 2 mins. High scoring game I think

playing some good football going fwd-- great to see Mancini, Madine and Cleary linking together

It's not anything like dour though and definitely not going to be 1-1...that's why I'm not a betting man.

Great entertainment so far for a change.
More goals to come.

nice to see Limpy abusing the ref after a shocking advantage then pull back for a free kick-didnt know he had it in him !

enjoyng this--bit like early season last year with Askey--v good football , but a bit suspect at back

Mancini and Cleary together causing all sorts of problems

Cleary just pure class tormenting their defense

New owners will need to sign Cleary....!!!

Mani just hit the bar

Sass Davies header cleared off the line. Is this Pools?

Best half in a while...Mancini is infectious, gives everyone else more time and space

him, Clearly and Madine the best 3 players on the pitch by a distance

Stephenson has done well....Miley has not--doesnt look the answer in midfield 2

We should be more than 1 up though and suspect Mancini and Madine only have another 20 mins or so in them so we need another goal

Not a hope in hell sadly-he'll be on loan to a league 1 side next year

Best 45 mins of the season imo. Mancini and Cleary combining well. Suits Pools. Actually been entertained. Even Parkes dribbled around 4 players like Maradona. Hope we put Boston to bed but we need another goal

Just got to hope we don't get punished for all the missed chances.
Next goal is vital.

I'm feeling confident we can snatch another draw from the jaws of victory!

Only you Kettering

Fake crowd of 4200
Let's impress the arabs

3-1 cleary

3-1 Cleary !

Good football again - Mancini is an absolute joy to watch--if we somehow get a buyer then hopefully we keep him--prob wishful thinking

hmm Feather for Mancini and we start timewasting....why do we do this !?

Have to say I’m confused by two things:

Where has this team been all season because it’s at least play off standard.
Who the fook is counting the crowd?

BTW, Mancini has no business in this division.

Rochdale n Gateshead blowing up.

Play offs back on.

4-1 Miley

4-1 Miley after Mani D missed from 1 yard

Well done Pools--!

Best performance in a long time---some stat bod should look at our averag epoints when Mancini plays more than 30 mins vs when he doesnt--may as well enjoy him as he'll be gone soon enough

Didnt like teh subs at 3-1 thought too defensive but cant argue with another goal !

Creation all game been superb n the work ethic from every player outstanding.

Let's get a debt free takeover sorted.

that looked a clear penalty on Grey

Grey brought down in penalty . 100% def penalty

Well done everyone--much needed win and performance

Please for Limpy too who picked the right team from the start

Thought Miley much better in 2nd half as well and took his goal well

Lets get a takeover sorted now !

Best performance of the season. God we have waited along time for a performance like this. Many good performances. Madine the heartbeat and Cleary the wizard

Mancini I meant

Have to say I’m confused by two things:

Where has this team been all season because it’s at least play off standard

1 mancini played

2 Campbell no where near the team.

Best performance for numerous seasons...but questions have to be asked...same players so why couldn't they be doing this for most of the season?? Absolutely head scratching. Will we finally get 2 wins on the trot next week at Halifax??

Great result, just a shame it has come too late.

One more point for safety me thinks. 50 usually enough

It was playoff standard, agree

Should have been 8-1

Looking forward to the highlights tomorrow

Louis Stephensen's reaction when the full time whistle went.

He didn't just punch the air. He absolutely knocked it out then punched it again for good measure.
Brilliant to see that kind of reaction from a young promising Poolie.

What a difference an attacking midfield makes eh?

I reckon they were including absent season ticket holders, both teams and the technical staff (and seagulls) in that attendance number.

So frustrating it really is mate. Maybe it's a toxic atmosphere created by a toxic owner that killed this season before it started. I would bet fooking Peanut Pearson will be on his way to see Mr. Toxic in Middlesbrough and ask him to keep the club and make him the Chairman and Mr. Burns the assistant director of traffic on Clarence Road.

I just like the word dour….never see them words much.
I wasn’t commenting on the match possibilities..or betting.

Great result and welcome three points. Well played today, looked like a team at last.
Miley is going to be a good signing. Virtually on his own in midfield,and will improve a lot with a bit more class to help him. Clearey and Mancini superb as we have come to expect. Others that caught the eye were Stephenson and Parkes. Charman looked an obvious weak link when he came on. The two big lads up front played well together. No blatant weak links in in the starting eleven but Sheron is marginally lacking. I would like to see that team start every game but with the physical attention some of them get it might be difficult to keep them fit.
Happy tonight for a change.

Campbell didn't touch the pitch and it showed. Mancini ten times the player. Thought Miley was outstanding, proper box to box midfielder.

Yes Gary.

Happy with the result finally, though hugely pissed off that it's 6 weeks too late
