One of the differences is that Hartlepool have signed around 4 experienced players in the transfer window to help their relegation fight. Why will does he take off people like Lloyd and Hendo for lesser players like Ball and Quigley.
Today performance is poor, Bentley will say we have 19 games left, but we do not look like winning any game. The overweight lady may not be singing yet, but she is ready to start. When the team second bottom looks like doing the double over you, you suspect the games up.

Absolutely shambolic second half performance on and off the pitch.
How lacklustre was EEL to reacte to that ball that was his all day long to clear? That's our captain setting that example for effort there!
I get having to reset at the back with the subs but bringing Quigley and Ball on basically says that we are declaring.
We may have no money and it's difficult for the board but we have shipped out more players than what we have brought in this month so why aren't we able to bring in at least one player who might just lift spirits on and off the pitch?
We are going down without a fight.

This shows why we are in so much trouble. Ball is useless, lazy, doesn’t care - the way he ‘warmed up’ v Colchester was pathetic. If Hendo was still on the pitch v Colchester we may have at least drawn that game, instead Ball side footed his chance to the keeper. The fact the manager thinks he adds value is completely beyond me. Hendo at least has endeavour and always has a goal in him. I seriously think Bentley thinks we have the right players. This is a footballing crisis now, on and off the pitch.

F it - I’ll risk the QI klaxon………. Speed dial Keeeeeeth. I’d rather he had a last throw of the dice at it - than letting this uninspiring dog Sh!t meander on. Maybe (read I hope ….) it’s why we’ve held off on making the couple of signings we reportedly can. If not, our only hope is a points deduction for a couple of the other sides.

In his interview after breaking the goalscoring record, Hendo recalls telling the Salford centre half about our on-xoming sub Ethan Brierley "this guy has every pass in the book."
He then went on to supply the most sublime of passes for the goal in one of two home wins this season.
Is the manager aware of how highly our record goalscorer rates the now-missing Ethan Brierley?
Can't remember ever seeing a side with so many bad decision makers in it than this one. Their collective football intelligence is abysmal. Typified by a break in the first half, 3 on 3, Ball at Kelly's feet and Rodney (I think) making a run then Kelly checked back and let Seriki overlap and the advantage had gone. We've all seen it all season but today it pissed me off more than all the rest combined.
Finished 2-0. One of those “just when you thought it couldn’t get worse” sort of days especially after the first half which was decent if not spectacular. Hard to see where we go from here without a miracle in the transfer window because this lot aren’t up for it

Never have and never will understand the logic when chasing a game and needing a goal why you'd ever take off the best finisher at the club, to bring Ball and Quigley on is just desperate going off form, or even lack of it...

When the dust settles and presumably our league status ends; there has to be a full review within the club on how a squad this poor, lacking in direction and completely imbalanced was allowed to be recruited without what appears to be the slightest due diligence.

That's what happens when you have years of "Expert coaching" from defensive coaches . The game has been ruined by idiots with badges and certificates galore and not an original idea in their heads.

Get Keith back. Jim is absolutely clueless. Cheap option to save us some money. Not a single player will want to join this sinking ship. At least Jim made the right choice in bringing a goalkeeper in to help.
