The Poolie Bunker

Should be in goal on Tuesday, S,Land U21, With a possible loan move.
Not certain possibly left S,Land.

From the Sunderland Echo

He spent last season gaining senior experience out on loan, first with Hebburn Town and later Blyth Spartans. His spell at Hebburn proved a learning curve, with the young stopper losing his place in the side after struggling to fully settle. A short stint with Blyth Spartans in the National League North followed before his release from Sunderland earlier this summer.

Sounds right up our street, Even though we just chased one.

So a kid with little men’s first team experience and none at our level, is potentially being lined up as either our first choice keeper or as back up to a player coach who looked below conference standard last season

I know everyone seems to want to give Grayson a pass but if he starts going on about playoffs and promotion then he’s fair game to be judged by that standard once the season starts and reality hits.

We are not a serious football club

Any team serious about Promotion will have about 80% of them players in the squad now.
New season less than 5 weeks away.

As it stands now we very low on quality n quantity and the new players ain't sending any promotion vibes out to the fans.

It's the first summer for years when none of our fans have mentioned the P word.

100 % take 20th with new owners this time next year.

At the moment with no games played....alphabetically we are 12th in the table....probably the highest we'll get to all season. Thanks Raj.

We top if ya say it in hpool lingo.

ARTLEPOOL

thats the problem by our real expectations and hopes are dumbed down so much many will be satisfied with that position. now its 3 seasons on the trot with reasons thrown out that its yet another season for mid table obscurity whilst the club sorts itself out in this league.

We'd still only be third behind Aldershot and Alifax

Phew- what a relief, Pools and Top are like oil and water!
