Official Match Thread Hartlepool United vs Southend United

[Ricey]

Modern day football is dull as dishwater.

When it gets to the halfway line you can clearly see it is leaning to the left. like the entire stadium and pitch is downhill

Leaning to the left. They probably assumed Bridge would be on that side.

What's the problem with the camera @overseas shrimper . Looks okay to me?

Is your TV on a slope? Lol

2nd Pools player down after an accidental clash of heads in our area. could be a long half!

Shame we couldn’t get Jack Payne back this season. Can’t help but feel he’s exactly what we need.

People are moaning, but I think it's a cunning plan. Keep the game tight, don't give them a sniff at goal, then gradually start pressing forward more, and come away with the win.

That's definitely how Pennyfather saw it.

Can you get promoted on 46 points (46 draws)

I think they’re a high press type of side, so if we sit back and soak it up, they will get tired. Getting Waldron and Bridge on at 60mins could blow the game wide open. But it’s a gamble that we make it that far unscathed.

It is if we do indeed not give them a sniff at goal but as we find too often 1 **** up and that hard fought 1-0 win turns into a frustrating 1-1

Boring tho isnt it.

Why not shoot there Morton

Of course, that's banking on KM doing subs in good time

Absolute **** so far to be fair.

 

[Barling Magna]

Good attack by us leads to a corner. Morton takes it, Ralph heads over the bar.

 

[amsemp]

Collin

 

[Hooly]

Horrible defensive headers by Taylor on 34:30

 

[Barling Magna]

Great save by Collin from a strong shot by Campbell.

That's the trade off aint it. I'd enjoy watching a 5-4 loss more than a dull 1-0 win or 0-0 draw but I'd prefer we got the points and get out of this league even if I'm bored
