Deservedly ahead, expected more from Hartlepool in these circumstances. We look decent going forward but still always look like we’re gunna concede. Umerah missed an absolute sitter after we scored!
Bit of a weird thing to say, just because there isn’t a big representation on this forum doesn’t mean it means any less to the core 2000 home fans. We are all absolutely bricking it and have been feeling exactly the same all week. 5pm needs to hurry the fuck up.
This is as big as it gets for a club like ours, Hartlepool have proven in recent times that they have the infrastructure to bounce back from relegation. But for us, we will just fall into the abyss and never to be seen again (much to everyone’s delight). 12 years in the EFL hangs in the balance...
There’s no dream run in for us when we’re away from home, just talk to Mansfield and Barrow fans of late. We genuinely forget to play any form of football and then crumble with at least 2/3 dire defensive errors.
I’m telling myself Saturday is a one off game but honestly I cannot see us getting...
Fairly even first half down here, I’d say we’ve shaded it but nothing of note other than skimming the post, players are putting a decent shift in without much quality. Akinde still hasn’t changed since he was with us.
I fully understand why everyone wants us to go down, I would if I wasn’t a supporter. It doesn’t even give me motivation to hate everyone else. I just wish the c**** would leave us alone and put us back to where we were
If we manage to stay up with Addai and this back ‘line’ (not sure they have ever been in a line) it will be a miracle. The lack of cohesion is embarrassing. We’ve done okay in an attacking sense but could easily be 3 or 4 down. Don’t think the Mansfield players can believe how much space they...
Not sure if Casey watches the same games half the time, loves bigging up opposite teams. Rochdale very marginally better than Doncaster midweek. We were half the attacking threat that we were on Tuesday but scored 2 goals. Coming into form at the right time and the players seem to be playing...
A well drilled side!? I was having a conversation coming out the ground and I genuinely don’t think they strung 5 consecutive passes together and I reckon the free header for the goal was their only touch in our box the whole game. If the orders were not to attack against our vulnerable defence...
It’s all well and good looking good in the first 2/3rds of the pitch but it means Jack if you don’t do anything with it. Has to be said, Doncaster are absolutely terrible and we’re still losing. Says a lot.
Great finish from Kemp, this Hartlepool performance does not fill me with confidence. Not world beaters but play like this the rest of the season and we’re definitely taking that last relegation spot.
You have been ruthless but that’s what happens when you give players 5 yards of space on the ball. Football in league 2 isn’t played like that. We can pass the ball around but that is literally it and it’s identical to the reverse fixture earlier in the season. At least this is the last time...
Absolute car crash half hour. It’s a fight between Hartlepool and Rochdale as to which one of you wants to stay up. You cannot be this bad as a professional club.
