Crawley v Hartlepool 14/1

[devilofajob]

I'm sure Pools fans are aware, but this is a "pay what you can afford" match, something we haven't done before. http://www.crawleytownfc.com/news/article/2016-17/crawley-town-3454542.aspx

I don't know if it will boost the away attendance, but it's put so far at least another 1000 on the home support.

As for the match, we're just starting to click now and hopefully Dean Cox will start his second game.

3-1 to the Reds

Can only see another defeat here, our combined midfield doesn't have a tackle in them (oo-er) and we just aren't ruthless enough in front of goal, 3-0 defeat and another step closer to Hignett's demise.

Would be very surprised if we took more than 100 fans for this one, anyone travelling to this from Hartlepool needs sectioning.

Any travelling Pools fans should let in free,considering the utter garbage we have to watch.

Higgy endlessly attempts to get a 0 0 away from home ... one day he'll succeed , I think this will be that day

We tend to score. Just lately more than one a game.

To be honest calling a result with us is a complete guessing game. The opposition can be good, bad or indifferent. The problem is, so can we....And in the same game! I'm going to just hope for a good game with some excitement and some talking points.

We've just sold our left back / left winger , meaning a forced change in thinking ...I think we might start with a back 4 and use both halves of the pitch

 

[PoolieTom]

Think we'll see the same starting XI as last week - hopefully Amond has his shooting boots on this time though.

Personally, I'd bring Allessandra back in, drop Paynter.

 

[Chief Rocka]

I'd like to see this new lad Rodney involved, he must be more of an attacking threat than Oates is right now.

 

[Chief Rocka]

0 shots on target.

Cya Hignett

 

[Glasshalffullpools]

He tries for a 0 0 ... when it goes wrong he has no back up plan ....

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

Cox with an assist...

 

[Casey]

Dean Cox is many things but I'm not sure playing a right footed winger as a left back is the best use of his talents. Second game and second assist. He is just the same as when he was at Orient. He gets the ball out wide and puts in decent crosses and when his further infield he hits a good shot that makes the keeper make a save. When he was replaced we swapped him for a left footed winger. Second win with this system but I'm not sure if it's the best use of our resources.

You are declaring 430 away fans .... people who were there are saying , a lot of Poolies paid in , saw no bar , went out had a drink and paid a quid to get back in again ! .... they are saying 200 Poolies max

 

[Chief Rocka]

Yeah there's no way there was 435 Poolies there today, thought it sounded a bit mental.

And no wonder we lost, seemingly playing without a keeper..

 

[Casey]

There were more Pool fans in the gazebo to the right of the terrace as you're looking at it.

430 seems a tad high though.

Your keeper did try to give us three goals during the match. I like him!

There is also a seated area for away supporters that is out of picture, but it still wasn't 435. Maybe your keeper was sitting with them?

0 shots on target.

Cya Hignett

Not so. I definitely recall a shot on target - and it forced a decent save from our keeper.
