Posting in the hope SS does read the board. I’ve seen this lad play a few times, he’s high quality and exactly the type of player we need to add in midfield. He should be well within our budget and wage structure. He’ll be off in the summer and I hope our scouting has already picked him up.

https://www.thenationalleague.org.uk/national-league-statement-gateshead-football-club-81474 Bizarre that Aldershot haven’t taken their place in play-offs, or Altrincham getting the bye to semi-final, as they finished above Solihull.

SS has intimated strongly that NC will be with us next season. Many fans are seriously considering ST renewal and if they can stomach another season of NC style football. I consider myself a moderate, but football under NC is the most boring in 40 years of supporting Pool. What we’ve witnessed...

The signing of Coulson whilst letting Dale go and not playing Lyons, pretty much sums up NC. Coulson has to be one of the poorest players I’ve seen in many a year at Pool. Weak and zero pace, looks like a rabbit in the headlights. He offers absolutely nothing defensively or going forward, so...

..one well planned against us at home, and executed to perfection. We should have been behind at half-time and they ripped us a new one, on the break second half. Well worked and finished goals. The other plan, well predictable and back to square one. Kouassi may not have been able to play a...

It is more than good enough to be challenging right at the top of this division. We can see the quality that is there, but we can also see the almost complete lack of belief. Today, after 5 minutes, I won’t have been alone in thinking here we go again. I hate this 3-5-2 formation, not because...

Very sad news this morning, spent much of my youth listening to The Smiths and still do. Not for everyone, but it’s great that my lad loves their music.

This is worth a thread of its own. Both my parents have dementia and I’ve witnessed and cared for them through their journey. For a long period they were able to cope and live with some normality. As time went by they lost the ability to complete everyday tasks and one of those was the ability...

Did a fantastic job for us last time at a very challenging time. His achievement then is perhaps not appreciated, but it left us in a better state for when the O’s left. He’s built his experience since, including some knocks, but he’s bounced back and done very well at Dundee this season. His...

We can criticise our players, but the atmosphere today from before kick-off was terrible. It was dead. How are we able to generate such a great atmosphere v Preston and away from home, but not bother today. We can make a consistent difference to the lads, particularly when things aren’t going...

Our success this season will largely depend on players delivering consistently high intensity, so winning their individual battles. That has been evident in all our better performances, for example last Saturday. That requires every player to be brave and strong, giving 100%. We cannot afford...

Exactly as expected, Swansea had lots of possession, as they do against every team. I thought tactics were spot on, although the last 10 of the first half we sat too deep. Second half was very good. Anyone can miss a penalty, but thought Jerry played really well. I enjoyed Lavery’s tenacity...

Just to kill off the ridiculous / embarrassing comments and speculation. Taken from the press, in case others have not seen the statement. He simply used us to get a better deal at Oxford. “My contract said that if a club meets the trigger valuation then I am entitled to go and talk to them...

My local club I’ve watched since the late 70’s, has today announced it will be full-professional from next season, ending 131 years of part time status. I’m hoping that I might see some of Pool’s talented youngsters on loan there in the future.

More embarrassing than the team performance. Going in late? Surely get in early and leave en-masse at kick-off. I saw pictures of a protest recently where loads were wearing this seasons shirt. Half-arsed pretty much like the team.

A slap in the face to a class striker and a player who was so instrumental in getting us promoted. I have no idea what is going on in Critch’s head, but for me he’s managed the situation badly. You just don’t do this sort of thing to a player who has done so much since joining the club. His...

Anyone received their refund from this match, after the failure of service? I’ve contacted the club multiple occasions and just keep getting back auto-acknowledgements that contain inaccurate / outdated guidance. @SLO_BFC as there is no contact number, can you flag this please. We’ve got to do...

Guy behind me sat on row 4 “ that Sterling, how is he on Chelsea’s books, he’s sh*t” His young son said “dad stop saying that” Some people are hard to please. Class player, we are fortunate to have him.

Outstanding partnership, never give the opposition a minutes rest. They give us a foothold in every game and today they paved the way for the great end to the game. Jerry may not be scoring, but today he was immense in his running down the opposition, tracking back and general link play. The...

I’ll start by saying that the post on Saturday questioning his ability to be a professional footballer was a disgrace. My opinion of course. Last year I posted about Jerry, for fans to get off his back. He proved many wrong and now we ask why Critch isn’t playing him. CJ has had a torrid time...
