  1. Do you yeah? Which players coming in will make the Hartlepool line up much stronger?
  2. Indeed. He’s on course to score around 25 goals this season. No player is beyond criticism, but those people jumping on his sometimes sour demeanour or frustration towards his team mates should reign it in and be grateful we have him at our level.
  3. A ball playing midfielder and a right back/right wing back should be the first couple of players to come in, followed by a proper winger. Mellon seems to like the 3-5-2 formation, so a player like the Spurs lad (Bowden?) would be ideal alongside Sheron and Lundstram.
  4. I’ve faith in Mellon, but not in the current set of players to consistently produce week in week out. However, he knows what he needs to take us forward and reach the play-offs.
  5. Won 5, Drawn 2, Lost 3 in the league since he took over. 6 of the games against top half sides. Lots of room for improvement, but given the opportunity to bring in 2-3 players in January, Mellon will hopefully have us in that top 7.
  6. If that’s the case, that would say more about the posters than Mellon’s capabilities, in my opinion.
  7. I agree with you. But until we bring in what’s required in midfield, i.e. 2 athletic wingers and a ball playing central midfielder to dominate opposition, we’ll be a counter-attacking team giving teams most of the possession.
  8. From what I saw, the plan was to allow them possession until approaching the final third, then close them down which to a degree was working first half. Then we conceded within 3 minutes of the second half starting and it went to shit.
  9. With these players at Mellon’s disposal, if we’d have played a hard press all over the pitch, Gateshead would’ve played the ball around us and we’d’ve got pummelled by at least 4.
  10. Hudson should’ve done better for the initial shot for the second goal in my opinion. Hogan gave the ball away too many times. If Mellon prefers the 3-5-2 formation, I’d like to see Sutton in the back 3 with Hobson and Raglan, once we’ve signed that elusive right wingback/right back.
  11. 7th favourites at 12/1. Same odds for the FA Trophy.
  12. If you say so. We weren’t getting dicked by Solihull. We had little in the way of outlets. I’ve seen worse home and away, and that’s just this season.
  13. Quite poor from both sides first half, but not terrible from Latics as some are suggesting. Mellon’s change of tactics going more direct into the channels for Kitching and Stones out wide and a harder press in midfield won it for us.
  14. Chesham wasn’t it. Near your neck of the woods?
  15. An outrageous exclusion of Sheron there Monty
  16. To add, though Fondop missed 2 absolute sitters, his impact was very good. Held the ball up well, won his headers and harassed the fuck out of their defenders. Wasn’t on the same wavelength as Norwood early on in the game where balls went through to the keeper, but I thought he’s worthy of a start next game.
  17. Standouts for me Gardner, Norwood and Raglan. Very enjoyable game and a decent following. Would’ve liked to have seen Willoughby brought on for Fondop last 10 minutes as he was goosed. Hudson not much to do apart from a great save first half. Starting to look solid at the back now. Interesting to see how he fits Hobson back in the team, as Raglan was class today and McGahey has looked solid and a more vocal captain than Hogan.
