The Poolie Bunker

So we have Jay Benn, Cameron John, Cory McKeown and Owen Hampson on the treatment table. Anyone heard if any of them is close to a return? I know that Hampson probably wont be seen in a Pools shirt this season if ever, but I was hoping Cory and posssibly Jay Benn might have been back by now. All contributions gratefull received.

There’s ‘Stunt’ Academy’s in Hollywood with shorter injuries lists.

Every club gets injuries.
But it's always our Pearl excuse.

The club needs to man up and just get all connected to give 100 % in Luxury Employment.
Maybe next season.

but how many clubs sign a player who is injured before we signed him. even in the sunday league you have to be available to play from day 1.

No doubt there'll be a proper update on Thursday for the Wealdstone game are done.
Don't rule out someone else being announced as crocked in training. It happens!

What are they training on…slag heaps…?

Listened to a couple of interviews with PW just now. McKeown and Hampson out till January at least, Cam John should be fit by Saturday and Liam Gibson definitely is ready to play. No mention of Benn or Charman.

The conversation turned to new additions and people being moving on, There'll be no more 'ins' till there's a few 'outs, but nothing definite yet.

Sounds to me that Wild will move on Cam John, Jay Benn and Jack Hunter if he gets the chance, and probably one or two more. Looks like Lavelle will sign on a permanent as soon as some cash is freed up.

Thanks for that, Mr Hogans.

I thought Cam John was considered a decent player by most Vic regulars? I guess I am mistaken. Jay Benn has had his critics as has Jack Hunter. I thought McKeown had a bit of bone bruising on his foot? Obviously a lot more serious than originally thought. Hampson is a lost cause as far as I can see.

Cam John was decent when on loan.
Then instantly seemed to lose the desire to put the effort in after signing that permanent contract.

As a team we struggle to get full commitment from the full team. We are regularly told from radio Tees that we have a well paid recruited good team but the constant poor results suggest otherwise.

It's frustrating and patience sapping for sure.

Our owner must back him in his efforts to toss overboard the ‘can’t be arsed’ elite we have.
I can excuse a trier, but someone not playing to their full ability I cannot stand……..if you’ve got ability, use it, don’t use it as a cushion to rest your ego on.

non league football is full of players just like that. this shows up well in fa cup games when you see all the shock and near shock results. they csan turn it on as individuals and a team only on limited occasions.those teams that have knocked us out of cup and trophy games in recent seasons would probebly have lost if it was a league game and the vic was a traditional small non league ground.

in life rotten eggs pull down the rest more than the good guys inspiring them.

Pete Wild is live on Radio Tees tonight 6pm to 7pm.

Be interesting to see what brilliant verbal he has to say and is apparently open to text questions.

UTP.

Wild has definitely lit a fire under Nathan Sheron - he must be Pools' most improved player since the change of manager.

Jack Hunter strikes me as an honest pro. His best position these days is as a stand-in centre half, but Lavelle is far superior, as are McNally and Kouogun.

Cam John and Jay Benn are very hit and miss and just not good enough at the defensive side of their game.

well the easy questions anyway that will be chosen before hand.

isn,t there an oldham connection with wild and sheron.

Sheron didn't join the Latics till a couple of years after Wild left.
