The Poolie Bunker

Went to the game today and thought Antwi looked a lot better at RB than he has done all season at CB! With Nelse and Lee in the middle and Antwi at RB i would have a lot more faith in the our defense.

Budtz was shocking when he dropped the ball in the net but pulled off three great saves in the second half, not to mention a great double save in the first.



Linesman to the left of the pools fans.. 0/10 (and i am being generous!)

Antwi looked solid in defence but isn't comfortable on the ball going forward and that's got to be a part of the full back's duty - but well done today.

The linesman was awful and looked a bit like a chuckle brother so there was plenty of shouts of "to me - to you" every time he put his flag up

It shows what it has come to when one of our keepers is actually praised for making a few saves, you know what he's actually paid for...

The goal was his fault by all accounts. He has failed to do his job.

Sign a decent keeper on loan please Danny.

They were first class saves though PJ, not just average run of the mill saves that he should be catching (like the first goal!)

I still want him replacing but his 2nd half performance yesterday was superb.

I don't know why anyone is saying that Nelson should play alongside Collins or Lee or Clark or whoever. Nelson is almost as bad as Antwi in the centre (it would be difficult to be as bad as him). Nelson should now be 4th choice behind Collins, Lee and Clark. I wouldn't exactly be sorry to see the back of him right now in fact. He has been truly, truly shocking for the entire season.

The back four were organised by Spike. Antwi was continually looking to him for guidance.
I thought it was funny when he started organising Humphreys , his captain.
Considering Spike has not had first team football at all this season , and has not been in a Pools shirt for years , he looked as if he had never left.

glad to hear it. There's those who are leaders, and those who only think they are (but really they aren't). Well done Spike.

For me Nelson is lacking in confidence, big style.......

I think a few weeks warming the bench may do him the world of good.....

He is still a top class defender though....... and i for one would be sorry to see him go.....

But he isnt taop class is he, 'top class' players tend not to be playing shite all season, do they

He is average at best, and when it REALLY counts, he goes AWOL
