Re: My thoughts on yesterday (Hartlepool)
From a personal point of view, you have all missed the boat. The problem is we only have one wide player in Andy Todd - who IMHO was the best player in red on the park by a country mile. It is as plain as the nose on your face we are missing Gary Roberts! The stats in the League paper prove it:
Shots on goal Accrington 2!!!! Hartlepool 7
Shots off target Accrington 1 Hartlepool 10
Corners Accrington 8 Hartlepool 9
And so it goes on, tell me, just who were the home team yesterday????????
I can honestly say, not many came out of that game with any positives, Andy Todd, Paul Mullin, Bav's, Welchy (although I wish he wouldn't get booked so early in a game), Rocky and Liam.
Sean Doherty is a dead duck IMO, Ian Craney ghosts in and out of games too often, Cav has been good recently but seemed a yard too slow prior to him being replaced. Although I like Phil Edwards as a player, the jury is still out.Lets go to Grimsby next week with a more positive attitude, put both McGivern and Whalley on, we can't get any worse, CAN WE?
I deliberately haven't mentioned the sending off - but now I will. I watched the whole incident from the Hartlepool penalty area to the centre of the pitch and Nelson was all over Harris like a rash. If and its a big IF, Harris has spat at Nelson then he deserved to go. If on the other hand he spat on the ground as he has said to JC, then there must be grounds for appeal, unless the swinging arm to try and release himself from Nelson vice like grip was the violent conduct. For goodness sake, Nelson was twice his size. Personally I think the ref made a mistake to compound the others he made during a poor match.
