Genuine question here, with Andy King, Paul Dickov and Matty Fryatt in there, did we ever look like we had a realistic chance?? When people say 'stepped up a gear' it always gives me the impression that the opposition hasn't got another gear in 'em.
we were outclassed - they have a terriffic array of midfielders and strikers - I don't see the point in dissecting last night's match because HUFC will never be able to compete long term against clubs like Leicester. Their time in this league will be brief - I can't believe they won't just beat teams down here week in week out, they'll hammer most of 'em if they play like that.
Pools have got to get on with the business of beating the other teams in this league, I'm not worried about losing to Leicaester with a line up which included inexperienced centre midfielder and an awful awful player such as Foley, because quite honestly what else could we expect?
No matter what changes Leicester made, there was always going to be quality on the pitch and on the bench. You simply don't get to sign for a club like that in the first place unless you are good enough.
Every one of their team and subs would get in our side - but how many Pools players would be good enought to sign for them?
I'm really not going to let last night cloud my view of what we should be expected to do this season - there's plenty others we can beat home and away, its just that based on last night Leicester won't be one of them!!!
