That’s Better

Posted on February 17, 2010

After a ok result against Preston tonights win over Middlesbrough was a great way to get back on track. We dominated the first half but didn’t grab a second goal we deserved. Boro were always going to come out and give it some welly in the second half unless we grabbed an early goal.

It nearly all went to pot when Charlie somehow managed to stay on the pitch after fouling Jeremie Aliadiere. I do think that was the reason for the pen later on, the ref thought he’d made a mistake by not show Charlie a red. He still managed to flash the red to Edwards who didn’t have the best luck with a pass he didn’t want and a shit pitch. He should have booted it but the lad must be feeling pressured to improve his distribution to keep a place in the team.

You knew after the save from Matt Gilks that the three points were ours and the tap in form DJ Campbell to get his first goal since coming back was the icing on the cake.

Only problem I’m missing the Reading game but really looking forward to the Barnsley match…. Oh and Preston were tonked 5-3 this evening doesn’t get any better.

Following on from a decent display against North End at the weekend we continued our good form against Boro last night. The atmosphere generated by the Pool faithful was superb, in contrast to the muted opposition fans, who rank as one of the most arrogant bunch around. Even Strachen was ungracious in defeat, blaming everything for the defeat apart from himself. He’s spent a small fortune on his mis-fits who hardly mustered anything last night. They are like a lot of ex-premiership outfits who think they’ve got a God given right to win and just expect the opposition to roll over. Last night was no fluke. The Pool might not have a four sided ground or masses of supporters, but what we have got is PASSION, buckets of it. So Strachen & Co., welcome to the real world of football, where money doesn’t always get you what you want.
