Pools are definitely going for it again this season - reminds me of 5 years ago with Challinor. Welcome Michael!

Bet no one can guess his nickname

Is ‘Speedy’ the most obvious nickname ever…..?

Only on loan for a monthif any good can we extend it? Seems like Folarin's time is up. Lets hope he can supply the crosses needed by the strikers.

You must surely be taking ze piss.

Dunno. He's the 14th new signing since the summer, some have been real upgrades on what we had last season, including the 3 other loan signings - Cartwright, John, Topalloj. All better in their positions than anyone we've had since Challinor's day. Best defence in the division.

If the owner keeps letting Grayson bring new players in, why not? Pools didn't start to the look the part under Challinor till the Xmas fixtures. Mid-table with 5 league wins and 5 losses up till December 22nd , 17 wins and 5 losses after that date (not counting the play-off wins). Funny the tricks memory plays...

Pools are a long way from the finished article at the minute, especially up front, but if you don't think there's grounds for any oprtimism you need to give your dodgy stick a shake

You make a good point. We have to differentiate between the playing and admin and acknowledge Grayson i# doing something right.
Give fans a decent team and in true fans hypocritical form, they’ll be happy no matter who runs the club, one of life’s great mystery’s
A winning team’s fan is a happy fan..and never blushes when it happens.

if challinor had not got lucky bringing armstrong in and oates improving we,d have has another season of being upper mid table at the end. just hope the new lad is another cleary. at least i trust grayson more than most who have had the job over the last number of years.

by the looks of him our kid might not be far off the mark. at least he looks as if he could get away with a kids fare on a bus or a train but would have big trouble getting in a boozer away from blackpool.
