A committed player, in fact the only one showing a thirst for the game, but is going to have to learn to control things on the pitch….. because it’s not looking good with the sendings off.

to be fair to the lad he should not have been on the pitch anyway to receive his second caution. he had a torrid 1st half and we had an ideal replacement for him on the bench with a like for like swap. its as if clark engineered the whole thing as most of us knew it was a disaster in the making if the 2nd half followed on from the first. mind you what do fans know we have not got coaching badges or played the game at pro level.

Well you would have thought Clarke would have taken him off its now 4 yellow cards 2 reds in 4 games at this rate he will have more cards than we have goals.

Some people are quick to forget Eccleston was out best player against Woking.

The ref last night was another bell end. Gave 2 bookings against Pools in the first 6 minutes and then let similar challenges (mainly from home players) go unpunished.

If Eccleston's second red was for dissent that's really poor from him, but lets be honest, we were getting nothing from that game even if we had finished with 11 on the pitch. We were outplayed from the 1st minute to the 90th.

be interesting to know the number of cards sheron, hunter and miley have already. they seem to be getting them regularly and we,ll be having one ot more out to join the injured soon.

the ref could easily have walked him for the challenge anyway. he should have been grateful to the bloke not slagging him off. thats footballers for you and why they get the reputation for being none too bright.

He can’t play in a 4, and should only start going forward if it’s as a wing back in a 5. Too frail and poor defensively to play in a 4 and clearly looks to have an attitude problem. Never thought I’d be clamouring for Benn to start but here we are.
