Pity to miss out on 10k win bonus that victory at Rochdale. Listening to Uncle Colin and Stall, the latter said at half time Burke was anonymous... ( how many times in Burke's Notts career have I heard that). Campbell again cannot score despite his work rate. I would not be surprised if JF makes some tough decisions as early as January.

Team Loach, Hewitt, Laing, Hollis, Milsom, Richards, Aborah (C), Burke, Campbell, Oliver, Forte

@notts-joe Any further thoughts re Stead? I have more confidence that we have a manager making in the main, the right decisions ( Stanley excepted ). Scouting still remains vitally important. A recent tweet by Stan Collymore: Man City. 52 scouts worldwide. Villa. 5. And 4 are analysts. Infrastructure. Infrastructure. Infrastructure. In order to gain a competitive advantage, I still think we need to invest more in the scouting network.

minimum of 5 first team players, according to the rules. An interesting question, does the default 5 counting position go back to the Exeter game as Saturday's game was abandoned? So Hollis, Laing, Aborah, Milsom, Forte form my 5, providing Saturday's game as basis Team Loach Laing Hollis Audel Richards Aborah, Milsom Atkinson, Snijders Forte, Gibson

Only 10 minutes but thought Stanley was so energised...extra duracell batteries inserted.

Stead-fastness called for Always prefer my shrimps potted

Eddie Hoofball preferable to Hewitt. Pity Luther has gone out on loan, this could have been his chance

http://www.thesackrace.com/news/26th-september-2016/leyton-orient-sack-andy-hessenthaler Orient manager gone. Come on Jamie,please apply

will it be Audel in for Laing on Tuesday? I would still replace Rodman with Stanley

@Anti-Red as you hinted, the first half needed improvement. Orient had 2 good chances to score in the first half and I still feel our defence at times is liable to self destruct. The vast improvement in the second half, gives cause for optimism, the emergence of Richards is a real plus. I am slightly concerned that Stanley has been sidelined as at times we do need some craft and Stanley offers the best dead ball delivery.

I don't know who you could mean ..... we may have it but he (aka Stanley) is just sat on the bench in recent matches

I am hoping the emergence of Richards will mean the end of Smudge's place. I would hope Stanley would return to the team as despite the win at Cheltenham, creativity was lacking.

One aspect of our play was the amount of times in the second half there was no player on the edge of the Accrington D of penalty area. Alan Smith taught Noble to delay his runs,,,, we had no one ever close to this space today

Some words of credit for Grimsby. Thought Bogle was superb and again questions our scouting as to why Brano didnt recommend him ahead of Idle

@Northants Pie Agreed in some ways. Gibson should have be loaned to a Conference side...loaning him too lower down the pyramid isnt going to help his development.

@Northants Pie Yes Gibson for me too

just watched the game on Magpie player. Atkinson seemed to win the ball fairly...Pools #18 and #26 should have both received straight red cards

@Northants Pie Defensive protection foremost but utilising pace of Collins and Campbell to support Stead. There is no stand out partner up front for Stead IMHO

What also will be interesting will be the players who are not on the bench today

JS to play Collin Tootle Laing Duffy Dickinson O'Connor Milsom Collins Aborah Campbell Stead

Hope the 1k gate revenue covered those costs. Perhaps @erindoors can advise if the gate revenue is shared with Hartlepool ( what percentage?)
