It was a good result but one result doesn't show we are going the right way as losing at home to Scunny doesn't show we are going the wrong way. We are going somewhere but I'm not sure where. I would guess it will have two digits though and hope I'm guessing wrong.

Hartlepool haven't won at home this season and are bottom for a reason. If you don't believe we should be good enough to turn them over then there really is no hope. I'm under no illusion about the quality or lack of, that this squad has (I seem to remember at the start of the season saying...

We have got a very difficult December with Stevenage, Doncaster and MK Dons all away and any home game appears to be difficult at the moment. I think after we get through this period we will all know whether we are going to make a dramatic challenge or end up mid table as I suspect. It's very...

Hartlepool haven't won at home yet, a few draws from winning positions and a win against Crawley. You could also list defeats against Scunny, Brentford, Notts County etc etc and make a claim for no chance. The truth is somewhere in between, we are showing mid table form.

Nothing will put losing to a team lower than us in league 1, at home, in a good light. I think the idea that teams at the top are inconsistent in this league isn't exactly true. Of the current top 9 we have only gained on 1 team in the last 6 games. The rest have either increased their lead or...

Well, so far we have had more average and poor loans than good loans so replacing the good stuff is not going to be easy. Like I said I don't think you can get out of any league with this hit and miss approach but its the only approach we can afford so we have to try and make the best of it.

I seem to share my time between the realists and the pessimists with the occasional run to the optimists as if I've left the house without any shoes on.

I'm not worried in the sense that they don't care because there loans, as I think the effort from the loanees in general has been okay. I am worried that if we get decent loans in they tend to be very short term and to get out of any league requires a good squad over the whole season, not half...

I was saying 14th but my optimism has pushed that up to 12th now.

I'd seen him a few times before Robins got him and he really stood out which is why I was sure he would be great for us before he'd kicked a ball. He hasn't looked as good at that yet but he came close yesterday and I do think he can be a good addition as long as he has the confidence to run...

We are clearly better than relegation and our form shows this but we are 11 points from the play offs. Some are saying this as if it were nothing. We are in an easier run of games at the moment and so should be picking up points but Scunny did us over last week and the same could happen next...

I said results and more importantly performances. Today is the first time we've played well under Robins and although league results are okay we have had a decent slice of luck in some of our wins recently (in fact we should have been 2-0 down today but for some poor finishing and decent saves...

Yeah, remember the days when we could win at home

Its a good win today but its Hartlepool, bottom of the third tier. Of course the top 6 is possible but it is extremely unlikely based on results and more importantly performances in recent weeks and 1 decent win does not suddenly make us challengers. Its 1 game at a time and we'll see how we go...

The idea that supporters take over and all is bright is a bit rose tinted I fear. It'll be interesting to see who can be blamed when the supporters fuck it up. You may as well say you're jealous of whoever, as they win a lot, are in a higher league, get bigger crowds, have a nice kit. We...

Dare I say the Morecambe ticket office?

Its the old sky blue specs again. Highfield Road was generally not that great and the atmosphere was generally crap. I sat in the East Stand and the amount of times I'd look at the West Terrace appearing to be singing something and moving their arms about was a bit embarrassing at times. You...

Must have broken down on a Riemann P10 bonus structure (It's expensive stuff you know).

Some did including me. I was very anti Robins and although he's doing okay he's a long way short of convincing me he is the man to turn us around.

I don't think we can play ourselves can we?
