The Poolie Bunker

Exactly as I predicted …

Same team as Yeovil?

With 1 change on the bench

Dazn no commentary couldn’t start on time ffs

awful cross ovr everyones head again from Benn in a great position.....very quiet so far

Can only get the Boro game online ?

Hit n hope high balls so far.

No structure.

Still be OK.
These are shite.

look far too slow going fwd, the sideways ball back to the middle to Miley loses us all momentum

Also this 8 second rule for keeper is leading to a lot of hurried punts to nowhere in general---think thats something teams will get better on as they get used to it--def something that needs to be worked on in training in terms of a default approach

also we cant press----given how often goals and chances come about from mistakes......thats a problem

This isent a Chairmans /Managers promotion team.
So far

Does time and gelling means it is?!

another clown of a ref, went from not giving a free kick to giving Topalji a yellow because the Braintree lad complained ffs

1-0-- !
og after good work from Johnson----Braintree v poor so no way we shouldnt now win this

Similar to last weeks game but not as quick. Not enough quality upfront.
1-0 poold

Jackpot

Are you there Kev????

Decent first half, Braintree desperate to waste time from the off. Francis our best player, feels like he's everywhere

Well based on 1.5 games we are certainly better than last season. Defence solid, better down the left . Early days

As it stands we're 5th top. I know it's only half time in match 2 but it sounds comforting.
Any guesses on the gate.

Fortunately, we have OG playing for us and he's having a good game.

Solid at the back, poor going fwd---the lack of a press is also worrying--we wont go up or down based on the VERY early showing

Not putting away poor teams, trying to sit on a one goal lead and giving away a late equaliser has been our failing in recent seasons. Let's hope we have changed and go for at least another goal.

Penalty and a red Card game over surely!

Penalty I think pools

2-0 reid

2-0
Reid has looked good

Joint top scorer with OG, must do better young man!

I'd give Francis and Parkes a rest for Tuesday

I'm in n out of me beer garden with Mrs Gloves.

Sun tans are mint

Mite do some away games later pal

Pen Braintree...Akinde has had the better of Parkes all this 2nd half

Oh dear Pen to them.

great save by the keeper---I think we've got a good one there !

Great keeper what a save

Well played Goalie, now come on Pools fill yer boots.

Braintree goal disallowed
Not getting carried away here---everything has gone for us---Sendings off, missed penalties etc..
Will take the win - but interested to see how we do v Altrincham

I was just wondering what your crowd estimate was.

There number 18 looks v lively off the bench,....cut above our options

I backed 0-0 v Yeovil and 3-0 for this match, come on Pools get me another goal

3,424

Cheers.

First home matches:
2024 4452 (Southend)
2023 5018 (Gateshead)
2022 4543 (AFC Wimbledon)
2021 5184 (Crawley)

I assume around 1000 less season ticket holders?

welcome 3 points against relegation fodder....Braintree had far too many chances with 10 men for my liking though

Aside from the pen, 2 offsides (which is good defending) and a very last second shot straight at the keeper I don't remember them having much?

Nothing wrong with that. Good keeper , solid in defence , pace in the team, both wings reasonable , good work ethic , still lacking a bit of quality upfront . But a brand new team it’s expected. Well done pools

Well done lads.

Acid test Tuesday.

We should still be capable of a top 7 finish.


Cracking day for the North East teams.

Happy with that, Four points and two clean sheets. Steady away. Hope it's a clean injury sheet as well.
