Week ending 30th October

[Bottega Don]

In classic Neil Cox fashioned he's changed our team which was playing really well to accommodate our captain whos back from injury for no real reason, stupid.

 

[Monkey Tennis]

Common sense decision really given how nice the weather is now. Pitch will only get drier with time. A lot of refs would’ve called this off on the original inspection.
Just hope we don’t regret the game being on!

Yeah, I agree - been sunny (warm even) all day and the pitch looks better than normal! Not sure where the problem patch is.

Missing a couple of key players, but hopeful for now.

Time for another pint, first look at the operational fanzone I've had. It would be typical Barrow to get the game on for a 3-0 drubbing.

One of the best things about being in the league is that we now have access to improved equipment to allow us to get games on.

That’s our trick usually. Work hard to get a game on in crap weather and lose. I was hopeful of a decent result but just seen Jeriel Dorsett is starting for us. For such a big guy he’s so weak and gets bullied off the ball.

Feels like an inevitability, to be honest.

 

[Bottega Don]

1-0 and that's game over, haven't turned a lead around for about 2 years

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Turns out leaving Andy Cook unmarked for a corner isn't a good idea. Who knew?

 

[kieran_vale]

Kettle gets his first of the day. By that I mean red card to a Crawley player.

 

[Casey]

You know when you've been kettled!

Casey

 

[Soz]

U ok Trev hun?

In all fairness he chucked an elbow in Smith's face and both the ref and liner were watching.

 

[Bottega Don]

Could be another 6-0 this.

Cox has to go, him constantly tinkering with the team when there is no need to is killing any chance of survival we have.

 

[hellogregory]

We are beyond terrible. It’s indescribable just how bad this team is.

It’s going to need every bit of Millen’s coaching ability to turn this shit show around. In Hindsight we really should have fired Beech in the summer to attempt to stop the rot when we had a clean slate.

 

[Chris FGR]

Been pretty flat so far, Bradford’s goal was a simple free header for Cook from a corner.

Our keeper’s wearing a cap today which you don’t see too often these days.

 

[valefan16]

Yeah just seen it on Twitter, as obvious you’ll see which is more shocking that Kettle gave it!

 

[shoddycollins]

Chris Lumsdon doing his usual thing of defending the players all season 'decent players, not a bad squad for this level, we just need this issue fixed or the right player in this or that position'... then something flips and he's suddenly saying 'poor squad, poor players, we've assembled a bad squad over the last few seasons, we need to start shipping players out'.

 

[kieran_vale]

Couple of yellows since to Vale players. This is a matter of time for Kettle to level things up. I do wonder if this starts factoring into DC’s thinking with the subs bench.

 

[Chief Rocka]

Another vintage Pools away performance, lovely stuff.

 

[MadJohn]

We had hoped that the Bradford win was a turning of a corner, but looking like a return to normal away service. Poor from Liddle for that second goal.

the quality may be there, but that team easily lacks characters, you can tell that because they very rarely if ever turn a game around, plus a total lack of any improvement with manager sacking.

Mir lacks any confidence and has nothing there to give others a boost.

issue at Carlisle also is they will 100% focus on attack but I think they need to 100% focus on the defence, you cannot ever be confidence to attack when know you’re back line is a pathetic clump of wimps who won’t hold onto anything.

you build from the back as they say.

 

[valefan16]

We just can’t defend properly. Gifted Crawley something to hold onto.

 

[kieran_vale]

Well that wasn’t in the script.

 

[Casey]

U ok Trev hun?

Im tight down the other end. No idea if it was a correct decision or not.

Good goal for us followed by a decent save by our keeper

Casey

 

[Bottega Don]

The last time we won a game after considering the first goal was November 2019, the last time we won an away game after conceding the first goal was August 2018.

If we somehow turn this around the world will end tonight

 

[tommytit]

Bizarre scenes at Brisbane road. Ref blows the half time whistle 40 seconds early before the 3rd official even puts the board up, when there was easily at least 4 minutes added time to come due to lengthy treatment for an injury.

We were very lucky Pratley didn’t get a second yellow for a hand ball and then we go score our second less than a minute later.

One of them where you can argue if our player makes a meal of it, but he throws an elbow and looks like contact is made. Clear cut in today's age.

I think it's only fair after this blatant act of cheating we restart the game with a new official.

 

[shoddycollins]

Bit early for Keith Millen to have had any impact. At least he is fully aware now of the scale of the task ahead of him.

That's what Challinor got booked for

Yeah that ref robbed this wonderfully entertaining game of minimum 4 minutes.

But at least that's 4 minutes less of seeing a woeful display from Pools out there
