Are you coming to this one Dav?.......Coley said
they are available.....Would expect a place on the bench for both....??

Re: Hartlepool match thread (H)
 

Normally 45 mins before kick off!

My team...
Chapman

Donecian
Beckles
Hughes
Pearson

Brown
Seamus

Jonno
Rommy
Shay

Billy

Debated starting the new bloke Edwards just behind Billy but presuming he's not trained with us yet...

No concerns about dusting of frost on small areas of the @ASFCofficial pitch. Ref is happy, kick off v @Official_HUFC is 3pm @BBCLancsSport

Re: Hartlepool match thread (H)
 

Announcement in ground is usually 30 minutes before kick-off.

Has Johno recovered from his injury on Saturday?

I am uneasy about a 1-up-front formation at home. I thought McCartan was wasteful at Crewe - I would much prefer to see Jordan Clark in there.

Re: Hartlepool match thread (H)
 

Thats the side but McConvile instead of Rommy

Re: Hartlepool match thread (H)
 

Yeah, still option to go 4-4-2 if it's not working out though........I think there is too much competition in the wastefully department. I prefer Jordan to Shay as he is more industrious but, they both struggle scoring goals.

Why does it feel like someones knocked into me and made me spill half my beer?

Re: Hartlepool match thread (H)
 

Ggrrrr .. would like to see the decision against Hughes for the second goal. Was he pushed?
I like Hughes but he does seem to be at fault for a lot of crucial goals. Can't work out whether he is unlucky or a liability?

Anyway, team played half decent. Created more chances and skirmishes I thought.

Re: Hartlepool match thread (H)
 

Played 2 up front today and fer me it made a BIG difference, much better, we should have won the game defo. but 2 goals in the first time fer along while,will do fer starters. onwards @ Upwards Reds K.T.F.:)

Re: Hartlepool match thread (H)
 

A poor draw. We were good for the three points just. sadly Goalkeeping on our side was abysmal at times. again poor communication was evident. Dan Jewel said it all in his commentary that the less said about the first half the better. The second half did see some improvement. Sadly the whole game was badly Officiated to the point of ruination. The loanee who came on in the second half was very lively. The class difference was noticeable immediately. The big question is now, Can the managers get the best out of the players we have here, I somehow have my doubts, We can't seem to get away from the one up front nonsense we keep playing. Hartlepool were the better team for decent periods of the game but they couldn't finish any better either, We can and should be beating teams like Hartlepool or we are just going to be less than also rans. Chorley played Fylde a few days ago and the crowd was around 4000 today we managed 1500. We are not doing something right. Even at our best last season we did not break 5000 at our best. Overall it was better than a loss but there is so much to put right. I am afraid Coley has his work cut out. If we perform like this against Luton in the cup we will struggle terribly. But that is two games without loss so that just might be the saviour at the end of the season.
