The Poolie Bunker

you missed another set of marvellous substitutions by your man then snowy.

you missed another set of marvellous substitutions by your man then snowy.

i have not got the foggiest.

perhaps they took daly off in case he got injured because they really are trying to swap him for mansfields ritchie barker.

perhaps they took the new lad off because hull have said hes only allowed to play an hour a week.

perhaps he took foley off because he had heard aliens planned to abduct him at the final whistle.

wilson said porter was 50/50 in the mail yesterday, yet according to the player himself his knee is knacked and hes at the hospital on monday

this is pools ffs. you dont get explanations, just questions.

sont slag pools off i got a rollicking off someone yesterday for calling them the secret service

ok poolieboy im sorry accept my humble apologies

...for giving me this bug....I may have felt nauseous, had a mouth like a bird cage, can't swallow without wincing and a permanet booking on the bog seat .....but I wasn't there....ONCE AGAIN THANKS....the Lord moves in mysterious ways, his wonders to perform...or summat like that.

snowy, my comments on wilson from june onwards

" looks like a sensible appointment"

" working with one hand tied behind his back" ( i think i coined this phrase, everyone seems to be using it now)

" im not convinced " ( after a game we won )

" the jurys still out in my house " ( during the winning run )

ive tried to remain objective ( despite you lumping me in the the wilson out gang in your lampoon ) because his appointment was badly timed and the transfer embargo wasnt his fault.

ive called for ior to get rid of hodcroft and get someone in running the gaff who actually spends some timehere and will actually bring some discipline to the whole show. by that i mean the whole show, stewarding , ticketing , the club shop, the playing staff everything. ive also questionned what exactly turner brings to the table and why he was allowed to dish out 9 new contracts in may to players who couldnt even get in a team that was relegated.

theres no point in me shouting that i want wilson sacked. nobody cares and he isnt going to get sacked. ive said all along i will judge the guy at xmas , but i am not convinced he is going to turn things around. thus far, regardless of what ive already said he is failing and im sick of his excuses. he has a lot of average performers granted,but he is being paid a lot of money to get winning performances out of them.
its his job to motivate them and organise them. anyone can manage a huge squad of great players. the best managers get winning performances out of not so great players. it can be done if you instill in then spirit and passion and you organise them. we are not playing with much spirit or passion and we dont look well organised.

hes also starting to irritate me wit some of the dumb things he comes out with. saying porter was 50/50 to play today when the lad is only 50/50 to play again this month. saying bringing back boydy would be going back to square one like anyone believes we have gone forward since he left, and saying hes not going to bring someone in to give them games to get fit ( i.e. boyd who as i predicted yesterday started for luton today) and then today saying duffy will be better when he is fully match fit. according to bristol city fans he did the same things there, tinkering with the team, bizzarre substitutions, perservering with poor players and blaming anyone and everyone but himself.

its not sitting on the fence snowy. ive praised him when hes done well and ive tried to give constructive criticism when i feel he hasnt. some people have said hes one of the best managers we have ever had and others have called for his head on a plate. hes only been in the job 4 months, and so far id give him 3 out of ten.
