Bugger :x

Ishmel on for Keates?!? - surprising that DD is playing Ishmel and Wright together away from home against the form team and at 1-1 :shock:

Not his normal tactic?!?

[Stu]

Can't complain about the result by the sounds of it, they've been the better team showing more intent throughout.

We've not really had a clear chance apart from the goal by the sounds of it.

3-1...........

[F2G Wilson]

make that 3 1

[F2G Wilson]

gutted

[ws3]

Be honest guys. Is anyone surprised?

[Duke]

cue loads of doom and gloom threads :roll:

3-1...I rest my case :( :( :(

[Biggles]

Not really...

Steady slide to the play off spots. Same as what happened in the millenium season under Graydon, we were 12 points clear at one point that season.

[redsaddler]

3-1 defeat. Now the pressure's on!!!

Lincoln game next Friday night is a must-win surely?

To get promotion all games are a must win.

We don't have a capable squad and that is evident. Plan A failed and now we have nothing left.

[Baldrick]

Face facts. We won't get promoted automatically. Really depressed about this ,but it has been coming for weeks. Lincoln on Friday night then Stockport the following Tuesday. Oh well. Play offs here we come.

[Stu]

Disappointing to lose it so late on, but on form, you can't be that surprised and judging by the commentary, the best team won.

What's probably a bit worrying is the change at half time... We were 1 up at the break, Hartlepool not really causing us any problems. Instead of sticking with the same, we make a defensive substituion and look to keep it tight, in which time against a decent team we concede 3 goals, opposition hit the post and we don't really create much.

Not so much doom and gloom, but the pressure is increasing and a new face or two to freshen things up would not hurt anyone right now. Suddenly we're under some real pressure for Friday's match at home to Lincoln.

But DD thinks that this team is capable. I am not sure I do.

[coxy_saddler]

25 yard free kick minutes to go..Gutted. We battled well through out. 3-1 just sounds worser :(

[Wyrley_saddler]

Oh dear dear dear :cry:

My apologies, just going off what BBC site has on it's live text display. Says Keates off for Asbo - obviously it's that easy to confuse Mark Wright for Dean Keates when you look at them!!

Don't take everything he says as gospel, he isn't going to come out and say "this team isn't good enough to get over the finish line, I'll bring in a couple of new faces to make sure" as thats just kicking them in the knackers.

If he isn't looking for new players, I'll be very surprised and very disappointed.

The thing is that the situation we're in has not happened overnight. The performances have not been good for a while, so it's a little disappointing DD didn't do more business in the transfer window

Most people on this board cried out for a replacement for Kinsella, and nowt has been done. I feel that to be DD worst blunder transfer wise. Lets hope we can get some new blood in to boost the middle of the park with some creativity.

It's a blip, erm...another one :roll:

Its mor like a bliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip.

...and if there anything like all the other players he's looked at brought to the club we'll all be disappointed.
Last season we were too late getting rid of UTS favourite Kevan. Wonder what Bonser will do this time? Without Kinsela Mr Touchy is clearly lost.

[BathSaddler]

The point is we should have been 'freshening up the squad' last month. I maintain that we were far too complacent during the January Window in terms of not strengthening the squad and the midfield in particular. Upfront, Cederqvist was always a gamble. Somebody proven at this level would have been better. We haven't lost promotion today, but our inaction in January could cost us big time.

Not very happy tonight. But honestly not surprised either. I await some much needed optimism from those who were there.

Kinsella is the key.....gone downhill since he left

UTS

Don't hold your breath!! They've freezed to death, spent a stack of cash, and seen us hardly create a jot today from all the reports I've heard, and now face the long drive home. :cry:
