Agree with everyone else really. Really disappointed and angry with that. The performance, the game management, the substitutions, the strategy - all way below standard.
I wouldn’t want to pick out individuals for criticism as I think it’s hard to highlight any who played well. I would say that there were a good 7 or 8 players who, today, looked well below par in terms of what they contributed and the requisite quality required at this level.
The biggest source of irritation, aside from the baffling substitutions and shape was the fact that Hartlepool were absolutely, palpably sh1t, and posed little or no threat, but our decision to stop attacking invited them into a game they should’ve been decisively out of by half time.

Our passing was dreadful. Our movement off the ball was almost non existent and energy levels were unacceptable, especially second half. All in all, a really poor showing from management and players alike, in front of a brilliant following. Not like us at all. We have some excellent players and a really high quality squad in my view, and on paper, we’re better than them, player for player, in every position. Problem is - as my old manager used today - ‘football’s not played on paper’. What made it worse for me was having to sit and take it in a home stand amongst celebrating Hartlepool fans who knew they’d got lucky and turned over a team who just didn’t turn up, save for the first 20 mins (superb goal from Holohan).

Not good enough performance wise, and badly, negatively managed from the dugout.

Amos has been out so can forgive him.
Harry has run his nuts off all season and look today like the tank was empty.
No support for Taylor
Morris, to be honest he's excrement.
Efete for me is not a league player, dito Peppel.
Green great v Bradford  today nuf said
The rest of em probably playing to Hursts plan so can't be to hard on em.


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

Why on earth did we let Mani go and replace him with this?

We need someone to put the ball in the net, simple as.

Stevenage are second and have conceded one more goal than us, but crucially have scored just 6 more. That is the difference between 13th and 2nd.

Must be someone out there. A free agent or something.

Mark McNulty is a standout on the free agent list.

Easily the worst opinion I've read on here for a long time.

He was poor today, like so many, but he’s a good player.

Just seen Holohan's goal on twitter. It will be a fantastic goal that beats that to goal of the season. Outside of the boot with such curve. Unstoppable.


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

Can’t have been a great prospect this week having to travel to Barrow and Hartlepool inside 4 days - not the most inspiring of places.
Late goals have cost - I know not popular to say it - but room to reset .
Town have enough to challenge for the Play Offs - January players in can turn it in our favour.
Paul will put this right.

Think the post match interview with Hurst is disappointing and not addressing reality or responsibility. Thinks we should’ve held out for the 1-0.
