FA Cup Vs Hartlepool (4 Viewers)

Looking forward to listening to the match on Saturday unfortunatly cant go back home for the match.

After seeing you guys earlier in the season and how rubbish we where I would have said this was a walk over for you guys. However we have seemed to turn a corner especially at home and apart from last week you have had a dip in form.

Noticed 3 loan players made a big impact on Saturday, wondering if you can shed more light on if they will be allowed to play in the cup by their parent clubs, hope not!!! Is it correct also Leon Clarke is out injured?

I hope that we can keep Moussa and your small fella in midfield quiet as they ran the show last time I saw you guys play.

Anyway a bit about Pools. After Colin Copper took over we have been trying to get rid of the dead wood and bring in new faces as well as bringing on the youth we have 4 stand out young players, Michael Duckworth, right back 21 year old, loves to get down the wing and strong in the tackle (http://www.hartlepoolmail.co.uk/spo...utd-s-duckworth-can-play-at-the-top-1-6291125)

Luke James who has stepped up this year and scoring goals, small in stature but he runs his socks off and can finish bit like Wilson for you guys.

Jack Baldwin and Burgess (centre backs) both very young and can play it out from the back, Burgess on loan from Boro and Baldwin should be playing at a higher level.

We also have possibly the best keeper in the bottom two divisions in Scott Flinders who has kept 55 clean sheets in 200 games and considering we where hopeless last year that is a very good stat.

Anyway hope good match at the weekend I am going for a 2-1 Pools win (thats my heart speaking) but think will be a close match with one goal nicking it.

How many are you guys bringing to the Vic anyway?

Think you hae a good chance mate from what I've seen of you this season. We have Clarke out injured and Wilson suspended, so it may be a bit expermetnal with some more kids coming in (almost literally kids!). Difficult to say on numbers.

it should be an interesting game, we are lacking firepower upfront so i think your in for a shout but having said that we seem to keep suprising ourselves every game!

Cheers for that!

I'd estimate 600 maybe? Shame really after how many we took to MK.

It's fucking miles away and between payday and xmas for a lot of people, plus there'll be streams, plus it's the FA Cup 2nd round. 600 isn't that bad.

Will be an interesting game considering the game AFC Wimbledon gave a full strength team and the players we are missing. Weirdly enough, I'd take bringing them back to someone else's place to finish the job with a full strength side, but we don't need any more games. 2-1 City Daggers and Moussa to score.

Probably 400, long trek, just before Xmas, loads chosing MK last week & Swindon in a couple of weeks, least attractive fixture we could've pulled out m and it's live on some Arab tv. These early rounds of the FA cup are shite
