    Possession stats

    I've seen games when they have put plenty of effort in so I don't believe it's motivation or desire they are lacking. I haven't seen any games that have been full of quality performances. It's the ability we are lacking. Fitness should only be a factor in the latter stages of the game and we...

    Possession stats

    Anyone who thinks these players are good or the absolute classic, they are good but the wrong type of player is completely blind and needs to take off their sky blue specs. Having seen every home game and a couple away in the league this season I haven't walked out once, regardless of the...

    Phil Brown - New Hartlepool Boss

    I would also have gone with Brown over the other two but that's in the past now. I think this game would be difficult no matter who their manager was, it would be difficult if they had no manager and kit man had forgotten their shorts. Have you been to Hartlepoool? I don't fancy us at all but...

    Liquidation

    I agree if the disparity with other strikers is too great it could cause an issue. Don't worry though as we will soon have a group of strikers all earning the same, in great spirits and not finding the net with any regularity. DMG won't be stopping here as the club can't afford the high...

    Liquidation

    Yes but its always been like this. Strikers get more and every player knows it. Football is full players who can do a job in defence or midfield but not so many who can regularly find the net. Are the Man Utd defence going to throw the league away because Rooney and Van Persie earn a lot more...

    McDonald - Am I alone

    He hasn't had a decent run in the team but he doesn't deserve one IMO. He's morphing into Micky Quinn without the scoring ability. If all else fails we can use in the defensive wall as it frees up an extra player.

    Liquidation

    Decent strikers at any level have always been and always will be paid more than other positions. Its a non issue for me in terms of the teams motivation etc. It is an issue for us as we can't afford a decent striker. Everyone seems to admit without McGoldrick we would be in the shit and that's...

    The bailiffs

    Why would they turn up at the Ricoh? It's not ours and we don't even have offices there anymore do we?

    Liquidation

    The idea of dropping out of sight and playing down the local park in the Alco-Lite Aluminium Ladders League doesn't really appeal. I know SISU have made a mess of it but I'd rather ride it out with a £4 Million budget than have a crowd of few 1000 and no budget whatsoever playing against a bunch...

    Points or Good Football?

    Of course we all want points but its very rare for a team to play shit week in week out and finish near the top of the table. Good teams can have bad games and still grind out a win but good teams climb the table because they play better over a period compared to the teams at the bottom. We've...

    The Ref

    Yes I know. I'm just pointing out to those that keep saying we are only so many points away and a few back to back wins and we'll be right up there. We need to win every home game and draw every away game to get there. IMO no chance in hell because teams that consistently play shit don't...

    The Ref

    Yes he was poor generally but our penalty claim was nothing like for me and theirs was dubious but I'd have to see it again. What I don't need to see again was the 75 minutes of total crap before we decided to have a go. We still need 2 points per game to challenge and it still looks a million...

    Last 10 games

    I think we're struggling to release the hand brake. It shows how poor this league is and if we can get ourselves playing well the impossible could be possible. We still need 2 pts per game and we haven't reached that level yet but we haven't played well yet either.

    Highfield Road stand question?

    I don't know, there's not much of a crowd surge and there's enough room for a bloke to set up with an easel. Not sure about the keepers positioning though.

    Robins agrees with me

    Next time you get a 100 mph bowl from the invisible man I'll remind you of that.

    Robins agrees with me

    Yes I was just trying to argue the point that the bowler also runs in front of the white sight screen wearing white and following the blue seat logic should be invisible apart from his head and maybe an arm if he's got his sleeved rolled up. It would be like watching David McCallum in the...

    How much McGoldrick

    You can only make an informed guess. We know the average Championship wage is just over £4000 and the average Premier wage is £22000. We also know top players on the Prem can earn up to £200k. I'm not saying times £4000 by 10 to get the highest earners but its safe to assume some players in the...

    How much McGoldrick

    The fee is only part of the problem (and one we won't be able to afford) as far as we are concerned. It's the wage drop he would have to take that means he will never end up here.

    Robins agrees with me

    (I thought someone would leap on that a bit quicker but here goes) Are you sure? A sight screen would indicate being able to see against the background which can't be the case as this sky blue seat thread clearly proves.

    Cameras are but clearly not you.
