[Soup Ladle]

Sold out both home and away for our defeat at Harrogate.

They gave us 825. If we were any good we'd have tripled that.

 

[The Terminator]

The big decision for us will be whether to play George Elokobi or Jamie Turley alongside Dan Happe at CB for us.

Our first choice two CBs are now out for around 6 weeks, which is a blow. Our cover players are more than adequate - But aren't as reliable.

We rested 7 players last week in total, so I'd expect a few changes to our lineup from last week.

Wary off Ebbsfleet and their fire power, not expecting a clean sheet and with Salford having a piss easy game against an out of sorts Gateshead I can see us being second come 5pm Saturday.

Finally as well some common sense from the Kent Police - 2,400 for us on their terrace and pay on the day. We'll take around 1,500 I;d expect. For some of us, this literally is only a 9 minute ride from home.................

 

[East Bank Shot]

Huge 6 pointer for us and Chesterfield. Can see it being a scrappy 1-0 either way.

Nice to see that Harrogate now segregate when they need too, after letting around 700 of our fans stand where they wanted for our visit in September - Which resulted in spurts of aggro dotted around the ground - particularly at half time in their bar.

Have we actually sold out yet? I knew there was 100+ remaining as of today, but you're right, a half decent Pools side and these ticket's would've been gone on the first day of sale.

We'll be laughing when the Mags lend us this Danish wonderkid striker they're trying to loan out

 

[Raymondo316]

Easy win for Dagenham incoming.

We have 1 win at home in the league this season and that was way back in August!! going on Tuesdays shambles against Maidenhead things ain't changing anytime soon.

 

[Master D]

We’ll get Danny Rowe’d out of it.

 

[Fyldefan]

Looking forward to tomorrow. Wrexham will bring shit loads. Expect a draw. It's about time though that we beat one of these good sides. Been poor against the better sides this season and weve been awful last few weeks.

 

[Monkey Tennis]

Halifax are shit, which means I'm going for a 0-1 defeat.

A few debutants for us, so it'll be interesting to see what's changed in our fortnight off. I can see us having a real go from the start, but we always get caught on the break - cue Halifax parking the bus for the rest of the game.

Huge 6 pointer for us and Chesterfield. Can see it being a scrappy 1-0 either way.

Certainly is a biggy. Hope the snow isn't too bad as I've got plans to make this one but the forecast in Chesterfield isn't the best.

How many are you likely to bring down?

You’ll beat us 2-0 like usual and we all know it. I don’t think we’ve ever scored against you. Or anyone.

 

[springerbfc]

Our promotion charge starts tomorrow! And when we win our 14 games in hand, the Title will be well within our grasp.

I'm pleased we (and the Police) have finally had some sense. If you bring 1,500 then it'll easily top 3,000. If we weren't doing so well under Hill, I'd fear for being outnumbered at home for the first time in my lifetime.

Fancy us to get a win here, we've had a bit of a break after the madness up at Chesterfield. All three strikers are bang in form and, as has been the case for the past few years, we're proving hard to break down (unless you're Chesterfield with Sheridan incoming).

Both teams to score and a Fleet win is my prediction, although it could go either way.

Any of you Orient types fancy a beer in Northfleet (probably not) then you're welcome in the Edinburgh Castle with us lot. Don't go in the Rose, it's full of mongs and barnyard animals.

 

[CFC91]

How many are you likely to bring down?

Not many if it carries on snowing. If the weathers ok probably 300 odd

 

[Shotsfan1993]

We cant even afford an assistant manager. Im not holding much hope either for tomorrow or for the rest of the season

 

[Red-Hybrid]

Hopefully we can break this bad run at Fylde tomorrow. With our away form it will be a tough ask. Boring 0-0 please.

 

[E10rifle]

Same as last season. Play like twats, go 2-0 down, wake up belatedly and pull one back before creating absolutely no more chances.

 

[Chief Rocka]

Our defence

 

[Soup Ladle]

Not only that Loach as well fucking hell. Think I might turn this off soon.

 

[Chief Rocka]

Magnay should’ve hoofed the fucker into the stand instead of trying to play the ball.

We’ve barely had a kick

 

[Soup Ladle]

All over us. Defence don’t know each other and Donaldson and Featherstone in the middle of a 442. We are playing so deep as well, huge gaps between the lines. This is a shocker.

 

[Soup Ladle]

You would think that against a side like Harrogate who to be fair play the ball well (we saw that in the home game) we’d get compact and have an extra man in the middle. But no this is Graveyard FC we’re talking about. Playing two toddlers in a 442 and gaps as deep as the fucking Pacific Ocean is just baffling

 

[Chief Rocka]

Man we are rotten

 

[Master D]

They had about 300 opportunities to clear their lines before that ball ended up going in the net.

 

[Chief Rocka]

Any other team would just Peter Kay have it out of the box, we take ten touches, have a Cruyff turn and tie our shoelaces.

Oh great 3-1, I’m turning this shit off

 

[slaphead]

Jesus, when did Hartlepool get this bad?

 

[Chief Rocka]

Jesus, when did Hartlepool get this bad?

We’ve been this bad for about 10 seasons now

 

[Soup Ladle]

We’ve been this bad for about 10 seasons now

6 or 7 I’d say but being shit in L1 and 2 is not comparable to being shit down here. Easily the worst sides we’ve ever had this year and last.
