why so much injury time?

I guess it was coming. Was it comedy defending or good play by Scunny?

Bad injury to one of their players who ended up being stretched off

Im afraid to say imo another defeat . Are we worse than last year ? 100%. Are we bad enough to go down ? Absolutely yes

One thing you can say about raj he would not have put up with this shit

Two signings they made before kick off making the difference. Knew Norwood would score.

This could get ugly in the second half.

Pools are a rabble - especially at the back. Benn in a back three - are they having a laugh? Hunter on the left?? Benn beaten in the air as easily as anything for Scunny's 2nd goal and Miley asleep for the give and go for their first. Sheron may be a shit footballer but at least he can defend!

Now that Scunny have realised they can score at will I'll be surprised if they don't get 4 or 5.

10th Game of the season.
Bottom 4.
The club needs to ACT tonight, not Monday, not next week, NOW....

Landon needs to Act too or he'll see the Vic very empty on Tuesday night....

Unless the next 45 minutes we have a Hail Mary moment... :pray:

Remote management does not work, well not with Pools!
I wonder how much Landon has spent on all this rubbish via these so called experts, Bromby!

3 now going from bad to worse, I hope Smith is watching this debacle created by Bromby and partners, he has been taken to the cleaners by them.

The kid in goal is absolutely useless. Smith is a better option - Gawd help us.

Getting concerned about what the final score could end up. Six or seven quite possible.

frankie1951 · **Joined:** Mon Sep 08, 2025 6:13 am **Posts:** 115

Could be an embarrassing score line this. Need a whole new team on this showing.

Stocksfield_Poolie · **Posted:** Sat Sep 26, 2026 4:39 pm

And there are a lot better teams than Scunthorpe in this division.
We should be pleased we are not playing away at Boreham Wood today!
That will come at the end of Oct! Oh dear!

Stocksfield_Poolie · **Posted:** Sat Sep 26, 2026 4:41 pm

Woking have put 5 past Carlisle so far!

Well, looking at all the players we signed, pretty much most were relegated with their clubs last season or achieved nothing.

B&P have pulled the wool over Smith eyes and ripped him off and con him out of money.

Smith needs to ask some serious questions or get advice from other football owners.

580 Poolies down there - they deserve better, but honestly, what did they expect?

Northern League pending. We've destroyed some of the league's best players from last season by putting them amongst absolute shite, making them unfit, and not employing anyone with any managerial experience of this division. Will the Crowe be hosting Bromby & Co in the directors box next Saturday? Will they all be popping champagne because people can at least get in on time because there'll be no fucker there? Clear the fucking lot of them out

We need a compete clear out how embarrassing come on Smith act now otherwise we will be in NLN for sure

Can’t see Maynard coming here, he’ll be Carlisle bound after today’s results…

Definitely, with them getting slugged at home

Stocksfield_Poolie · **Posted:** Sat Sep 26, 2026 5:02 pm

Too late for a clear out, everyone is on a contract for at least the end of this season!
Bad decision made by Landon employing Bromby, and even worse decisions made by them!
Totally inept the whole lot from top to bottom!

harrogatepoolie · **Joined:** Sat Dec 28, 2019 12:35 pm **Posts:** 1544

Its now about avoiding relegation . Total shit show from a club in disaray

I can't see anyone coming here personally. I can't see some season tickets holders turning up.

Benn
Hunter
Milley
Sheron
Eccleston
Gibson
Bondo

All the above are just not good enough to play in a team looking for promotion
Fucking bottom 4 embarrassing

Bazil · **Joined:** Mon Feb 02, 2015 7:32 pm **Posts:** 173

Definitely a low point today. Bottom four and on the seasons showing so far relegation is a real possibility.
I honestly can’t see any improvement on the horizon.

Despite the odds on an Harrogate win, it must be the easist surefire money bet. We couldn't beat Seaton HT seconds at the moment.

Club is rotten to the core, until we get all the deadwood and the hangers on turfed out nothing will change. If we avoid relegation with this lot it will be a miracle.

Did anyone really expect anything but a heavy defeat today? It's been obvious for weeks that the side that Bromby and Partners have essentially built is actually a squad hand picked for relegation - with two or three exceptions. Landon Smith had better brace himself for a shock to his system when he takes his seat in the Vic on Tuesday evening. Empty terraces coupled with the sight of a totally inept Pools outfit being outplayed and outclassed by Harrogate FC of all opponents must surely set the alarm bells ringing in his head. But hey, surely an outfit awarded a contract to get the side seriously challenging for a playoff place only to see their hand picked choices slump into the relegation places eight weeks into the season must be in breach of contract? C'mon Landon as a native of the land of Lawsuits and top lawyers ie Thomas Jefferson, Johnnie Cochran, even Perry Mason etc there must surely be a way of throwing the book at Bromby & Co for their underperfomance, indeed abject failure, call it what you will it's going to cost YOUR football club serious money to correct.

I imagine he's still grinding his teeth at getting passed over by 'expert consultants' who thought Lee Clark or Lee Cattermole had what it takes to breeze out of the National League.

The radio mentioned that Jordan Hugill was talking to the fans at the end of the game, anyone there know what that was about?

Fevs wasn’t the answer, and isn’t the answer…those days had no golden glow about them and accepting getting misty eyed over is irrelevant.
We need a new broom with with a will to turn this shit show round.
We’re stuck with the players, but not the ‘navigators’ who steered us onto the rocks, they want scattering.

Snowy me being the ever pessimist Pools are stuck with Bromby not knowing the type of contract they signed, we don’t know if Pools can just scatter them. Ok yes they need scattering but an immediate replacement is required who ? Smith has no knowledge of the football game, did Bromby run rings round him, who would he put in place to run the club whilst he is in The States, it’s a sorry state of affairs worse than during the Singh days. The only thing going for Pools hopefully is they are financially stable nowadays.

We need to be lucky in the managerial selection lottery regardless of who does the selection. How many did Raj go through pre and post Challinor?
One thing for sure is that Clayton and Liddle cannot hold the reins for very long based on what we did yesterday against a team who's own supporters expected us to batter them. October's fixtures could see us well and truly cast adrift in the relegation places.

As long as the money was there to be spent, I don’t care if the supplier knows anything about th3 game….but the money should have been spent wisely…and we had to rely on people who it transpires are orbiting the planet ‘Useless’.

Ive wrote off the fixtures at Forest Green and Borehamwood.
So Tamworth on Saturday is a must win game.

No way Lidds and the new Handshaker can be in control of this game.

And an important FA Cup game in October we're the prize money is excellent.
Maybe the difference to fund keeping us in division 5.

the frightening thing about all of this is for me pools have looked worse than their opponents were even when they won games. Thats before the injuries hit and seem to have hit harder than usual. A lot of us have seen really poor pools teams but this one really tops it. if they actually represent what the club is all about i cannot see many new fans signing up for it on top of us older ones who will quickly drift away and some for good. could have either gone to the game, watched it on DAZN but decided to take her in the kitchen to morecambe and no football to get the brownie points up. its took me over 70 years to get this attitude.
