Hartlepool v Barrow match thread

Rubbish

Great goal from Rooney. That’s all. We were awful. Hartlepool far superior.

[the ray wilkie stand]

Surely the Jason Taylor experiment is over

[cuffy]

Poor as [SwearFilter] Cooper, what the f@ck have you got to say about that.

[MisterPleasant]

Hartlepool's new acquisitions were pivotal for them tonight. The Rooney goal apart, ours were.....er......not.

[AugustusCorpa]

Jason Taylor looks like what he is a coach playing 1st team football.

[SayitagainSam]

Well once again looking over our backs as 5 points till a relegation scrap ensues..... things just don't go our way ever do they.

Played 2 games more than Oldham. If they win both, we could be in the bottom 2. The 3 teams below have 1 game in hand over us. Sweaty palms time.

Infuriating that James was dropped for this one based on his performance since coming on. Would love to know MC's reasons for dropping him

This...whilst I'm not suggesting that Luke James carries anymore goal threat than the young Leicester lad (who is clearly not ready), he is at least a decent foil for others and runs himself into the ground. He would've been up for this game too but Cooper drops him

Do Carlisle, Walsall and Colchester all get given points every time Oldham win as well?

[Lightflood]

Start looking over our shoulder at the teams below .Perhaps there aren't two that are worse than us anymore that was awful we can't win at home and never look like scoring. Can anyone tell me what the latest acquisition up front brings to the table... Cos I can't see anything

Tbf, we didn't even deserve to take the lead. Rooney scores with a roll of the dice and against the run of play. Great vision. Then we had a chance with AAH soon after but they were still outplaying us before, during and after JR's sublime strike.

[blue nige]

Sometimes we set up too attackingly away from home just be boring and change it later on it's a battle now every game! this game was probably one to many after 3 tough games.

[behind the goals]

Second best all night what formation did we end up with, Holloway not fit so our young loan forwards with James & Williams will have to get the goals, get J.Jones & Platt back in that defence, that squad tonight would struggle bottom half of National League, more worrying we have 9 home games left with only 3 wins in 15 can`t see many home wins coming any time soon.

[popular side]

What a load of old b*****ks why play Taylor 3 games on the run his legs had gone after 20 minutes really poor defending not closing down players second half one shot on goal nothing going forward again really bad after the last two games ray of hope but lessons still not learned Rooneys wonder goal was the only highlight in this again dire effort we now need to get 3 points on Saturday its a roller coaster ride watching this lot.......

[ossickbluebird]

Distinct lack of desire on a very, very poor night. Banks was shocking, Rooney trotted around, dreadful at the back. Ho-hum, on to Saturday, must win
