I don’t think we were even that terrible tonight, stats were very equal on the face of things, they just had the better quality throughout their side and they were clinical with the chances provided.
You can’t give that lummox Smith an unchecked header in the 6 yard box, he’s gonna score them...
Not far off a home sellout, should be a great atmosphere, just hope we don’t wilt under the expectation, Crawley would be over the moon with a point here, keep us at arms length with a home game against pulseless Walsall to come.
If we can't beat Crawley on Saturday then we deserve to go down, no question, there's not a chance they come here and do anything but stick 10 men behind the ball, up to us to pick an attacking side and go at them from the off, playing a back five against these would be mental.
Nothing's changed for us, we were always going to have to beat Crawley and Barrow to stand a chance and that remains the same.
I'd drop Umerah on Saturday personally, he's looked disinterested for weeks, Cooke is back to being his usual dogshit self and probably an unpopular decision but I'd...
These next two set of fixtures will cement one of us in the sticky, could both argue we have survival in our own hands with having to face each other.
Just hope we're still within three points going into Saturday, think a gap of 5 will be too much.
Harrogate might be the team Pools have to aim for in this, after Tuesday's games they have Northampton, Newport, Mansfield all away, we need to be within three points of them still after the next round of games.
Gonna need a huge Colchester favour on Tuesday and somehow get something at Salford...
