Stevenage v Rakish

[Pooliekev]

Again, quietly confident but not by any big margin. I'll go for 1-0 to Pools. Three clean sheets out of four so far and there's goals across our front five. Last season we got kicked off the park but there's a lot more steel in us this season.

Am I breaking protocol here? Is it supposed to be a home fan starts these?

 

[hellogregory]

Comfortable 6-1 win for Teddy's team.

 

[Vanni]

Yes, you're breaking protocol. Proper procedure is as follows.

1) Contact by PM all the fans on this board of the home side.
2) Ask them politely if they fancy doing the match thread.
3) If they're not bothered, then feel free to start the match day thread yourself.

The 3 steps outlined above are to be disregarded in the unlikely event that no fans of the home side could be found on this board / no one actually really supports them.

 

[Pooliekev]

Oh, Ok. Fuck that then.

 

[Brox]

Comfortable 6-1 win for Teddy's team.

Yes please.

We'll probably lose but for some reason I'm hopeful we'll get a result despite Hartlepool winning me a bit of £££ so this season.

 

[Glasshalffullpools]

He contacted me through the power of thought and I said yes ... and to save time it's a yes for the rest of the season .... There you go Kev , a useful job for you ...

 

[richo1uk]

I feel a 1-1 in my bones

Thanks mate. I need another job.

You sound like our rass..

 

[Glasshalffullpools]

I noticed you had a 5 minute window that needed filling ..... can't have you vegitating

 

[Pooliekev]

Yeah.

Who needs sleep.

 

[ArmchairDiehard]

I said last season I thought Hartlepool would finish in the top seven, and they've started pretty well.

Going for a Stevenage win here though

Stevenage 2-1 Hartlepool

 

[Glasshalffullpools]

You dare show your face at the JPT !

 

[Sestonpoolie]

Apparently Sheringham is ditching his Mr NIceguy act,so it sounds like wer're fooked.

 

[Glasshalffullpools]

So the last 20 odd years have been an act ?? Nothing against Teddy , a wonderful footballer , but he'll never be a manager

 

[daviejones]

He literally is a manager right now. Just a shit one.

 

[The East Terrace]

Oh good another in form team, as Tedy's tough start continues. There are already calls for his head god we really do have sone jokers at our place. Apparently we should be play off's at least this season ? If our lot had their way Westley and Dino would be back in by September 1st as apparently you can't recover from having a bad August. I see another defeat on the cards and fully epect Westley and Dino to be hanging around the Broadhall Way area like an eggy fart come Monday morning as they did when Smith was under pressure.

 

[Glasshalffullpools]

Sometimes you have to accept the inevitable and do what's needed , last season we had a manager for 8 games before we did what was needed....

 

[The East Terrace]

I think 4 games is a little premature to judge. I mean Orient & County are strong sides at this level, Newport is a tricky away game and then away at Ipswich who are unbeaten may be a little harsh to write him off yet.

I agree, although I did expect him to struggle if I'm honest. The fact that he's been out of the game for so long could be too much for him.

 

[The East Terrace]

Time will tell, we've had some tough games too start the season and as last season our squad is pretty thin with little quality upfront. Westley struggled to get goals out of us, I'm sure Teddy will as well, it's not his fault our strikers are shite. We haven't had a half decent striker since Steve Morison left to be honest.

 

[richo1uk]

even the best of managers need time

 

[ArmchairDiehard]

You didn't give Paul Murray time?

 

[Glasshalffullpools]

No we didn't , losing to Blyth was us hitting the very bottom of the bottom , if we hadn't lost that game , Murray would have stayed and Ronnie wouldn't have arrived , the rest as they say is history....Stevenage aren't at critical point yet , but Yeovil look like they aren't too far away from it

 

[richo1uk]

I was not allowed to have a say
the owners stopped me mr Armchar sir

 

[Pooliepride]

You didn't give Paul Murray time?

We didn't have time to give him, the decision has since been proven to be the correct one!

I'm feeling a 2-1 home win.

 

[richo1uk]

how did that underline get on my post

 

[Pooliekev]

Operator error.

 

[richo1uk]

for a moment I thought I was on the bunker with my edited post

 

[Sestonpoolie]

Stevange won't be the same without the influential Simon Walton.

 

[Glasshalffullpools]

What Mobile phone operator was he with again ? ...... .. ah yes .... Orange !
