Re: My thoughts on yesterday (Hartlepool)
 

OK, everyone's had a whinge, chucked their toys out of their pram, ripped up their season tickets (metaphorically speaking) and (in Denise's case) practically read the last rites.

Now's the time to put it behind us and get back to supporting the team.

The question that's really bothering me now is...does anyone know of a really top notch chippy in Cleethorpes? :)

Re: My thoughts on yesterday (Hartlepool)
 

Amen to that Mr Harris. Where's Cleethorpes?

Re: My thoughts on yesterday (Hartlepool)
 

All I know is it's 2 hours 40 minutes away from Manchester Piccadilly on a direct service. Roll on Saturday!

Re: My thoughts on yesterday (Hartlepool)
 

Its only 40 minutes accross the Humber Bridge from where I currently live but I have not been there since March 1975.

It was freezing then the wind blows straight in off the North Sea and the ground is right by it.

well said kipax , happens everytime , the roof is not desperatly needed you do not need a roof to watch a football match and if thats why people didnt come then they are not a good supporter in my view

Re: My thoughts on yesterday (Hartlepool)
 

I think I once said something like that, now I can understand why I was wrong. :) But I respect your point of view.

I think people will have many reasons. I could have come to any number of games over the last month, but I didn't. On Saturday I set out with my hat in one hand and 13 quid in the other, I took a 80 mile round trip and got ****** wet through. I knew it was going to happen and I still wanted to come over, Will I do it again, yes. Do I think a roof will make a difference to me, no, do I think others might be put off, yes. do I think their not good supporters, No.

I do think we should push for, and embrace anything that might inprove our support. I also think that Mr Harris has made a good point though, maybe we should move on.

According to Sky, Cav could be out for 3 months: http://home.skysports.com/list.aspx?...ow+for+Stanley

Re: My thoughts on yesterday (Hartlepool)
 

That's right, put it behind us, get over it and move on.

By the way, Doug, I expect to see you in a prominent position in the Osmond Stand on Saturday, giving useful advice to the referee on sex and travel. ;)

Re: My thoughts on yesterday (Hartlepool)
 

You're completely right about Doherty but I do not agree with this point.
Cavanagh is one of two talismans for Accy (along with Paul Mullin). When he is not playing, the whole team loses a large amount of presence and it has a detremental effect to the game. For example, Andy Todd doesn't play half as well when Phil Edwards is playing at right back.
I hope Cav is back before too long, all the best to him.

In all fairness Hartlepool should have had five. I thought it was an overall distinctly average performance by us on Saturday, crap ref, crap weather, we'll get over it.
Clayton End were on top form with the vocals, never gave up.

Re: My thoughts on yesterday (Hartlepool)
 

i think we should lay off sean doherty as he gives the team an outlet when were under the cosh because the rest of the midfield seems out of sorts at the moment nobody seems to be moving into space i think we should try and get a holding midfielder becuase mullers seem to be trying to evrything eithr hes a holding midfielder or a striker he cant be everywhere at the same time thats why his form has dipped a bit its not his fault hes trying to be everywhere at the same time but dont worry it will click soon just in time for the bury game and then well go on another winning run when mcgivern blends in with the system ang goes on a scoring streak..i think cav has been playing with a slight injury thats why hes not being keeping up with the pace but dont worry phil edwards should fit in ok dont despair because we will survive good times will be back.i thought saturdays atmosphere was good even if it was raining it was quality not quantity even if we need quantity ...let the good times roll:Banane57:

Re: My thoughts on yesterday (Hartlepool)
 

Thats just it though, Sean Doherty hasn't been giving the team an outlet. Toddy has, Mully has even Craney has but Sean at times might as well be on a different planet. He just doesn't have the confidence in himself to get involved in games. Oh and the most likely reason for Mullys dip in form (is there one?) is that he isn't getting any service up to him apart from long balls from defence. Just at the minute there is a distinct lack of balls into the box. Toddy is trying his best but hes working on his own, when wingers work better in pairs.

Re: My thoughts on yesterday (Hartlepool)
 

Spot on Mr Harris, roll on Grimsby away

Re: My thoughts on yesterday (Hartlepool)
 

If this is true and Cav is out for 3 months, maybe all who have been doubting him recently will see how much we will miss him on the pitch. I've no doubt Phil Edwards will do an excellent job in that position, no qualms on that score but Cav's prescence as captain will certainly be missed.

Re: My thoughts on yesterday (Hartlepool)
 

It`s on the Stanley site now.
Out `til New Year with a knee injury courtesy of the Monkey hangers.
Harris out for 3 games for his spitting incident.
A rather costly match all round I`d say.
