How do Hartlepool manage to have exactly the same season over and over again, adrift at the bottom and then a late charge to survive?

Forster looked better but that shot in the first half should have been parried wide instead of into the centre, and I felt he could have caught that header/shot at the end there. Looking at the positives he's coming out and screaming keeper when the ball is his.

Sims has been a bit wasteful since coming on, inviting pressure. Needs to keep it simple in these situations.

Nope the longer song.

Should have got the second goal but we looked far superior there. Very good performance.

Why on earth are our fans singing for Gabbiadini, support the players that are actually there!

Stephens having a very good game.

CLASIE! Who says he's finished here

Worth pointing out that we've had more games subsidised than any other teams fans this season.

Pretty sure the MOTD pundits watch a few games on a few screens live during the day and then watch extended highlights of the rest in between final whistle and broadcast.

Last season Mane went on a huge run of form towards the end of the season, who do we reckon it'll be this year? Austin coming back? Redmond?

Disagree, Long gets into far more dangerous positions and is much better in the air. What we need to be doing is playing more to his strengths...instead of putting him through one on one where he's always struggled, get the ball wide and whip it in behind for him to head or tap in. Basically do what we did for the second and third goals as much as possible.

Video technology please FIFA, you c*nts.

With our two goalscorers and best player out, shock. I'm p*ssed off but this is the worst we've had it for injuries since our return to the Prem.

Well, they are.

He did rotate VVD in the first few rounds of the league cup.

He probably thinks you're meant to be one of those ironic parody accounts.

There's been a couple of horrendous mistakes which can be found on youtube.

The comment he made about Joe Hart there says to me Shaw had a chance to go abroad on loan and play regularly but turned it down. Dare I say he was given too much too soon and doesn't want to work too hard anymore...

Definitely seemed that way, just hope that his reluctance to do so before wasn't because of his inability to do it effectively as we saw yesterday.

The reaction from Itchen North after Afobes miss was hilarious as well, genuinely looked like we'd scored.

I think there comes a point when you need to tell him to buck his ideas up though...

Heaton, Pickford, Begovic...dare I say Artur Boruc is better, made a mistake there. I was a huge fan of Forster when he first came but he's gone backwards massively, yesterday I saw why he never comes out for crosses - every time he did he tried to meekly punch them and it caused chaos. It's like he's got blisters on his hands or something. Needs replacing in the summer.

Should we have had a penalty in the first half for hauling Yoshida to the ground from a corner? Looked stonewall at the time.

I would say Jay was OK and nothing more, it's never been more obvious that he's lost most of his pace than today watching him chase Tadics through balls.
