Is anyone driving across from Manchester for this? Keen to go but no trains! 
 

I pay handsomely on petrol and beverages 

I think we will get thumped here, something like 4-1! 

Really hope I am wrong 

Pretty rubbish, never seen so many misplaced passes

It was terrific game management and certainly not riding our luck. How many chances did they create? Two or three I reckon whilst we probably had the same. Aside from a couple of routine stops Kaminski wasn't tested. Circumstances (and the weather) played a part as we had a makeshift defence for most of the second half. 

Completely agree with this, they rarely threatened and jammy goal via a deflection... All in all a good day out! 

What a start to the season, what a breath of fresh air with the new manager coming in! 

WBA are a very good side and I watched the game against Watford, I really can't see us winning this- I hope I am wrong! 

Vs Bradford will be a decent atmosphere and reckon we might travel in numbers 

Love the Hartlepool fans singing 'We've had a shot!' 

Reckon this will bump up the numbers for WBA! 

Despite low numbers, listening on the radio sounds like a decent atmosphere!

Absolutely shocking that we stick away fans in the top tier, club need to sort this!

Just read that they have sold 350 for tomorrow which I think is a great effort! 

Will be good to see the youngsters and Dacky get a good run out.

Rothwell is criminally overrated by some people in here.

He was a decent Championship midfielder who I’d be be happy to still have but that’s about it. His end product was often poor and like some else mentioned his running up dead ends often left gaping holes in midfield.

Buckley has a much higher ceiling and will go far further in the game. I’d be genuinely shocked if Rothwell makes any sort of impact in the Premier League, whereas I’m sure that’s where Buckley will end up (ideally with Rovers!).

I could not agree more. 

Rothwell, really was not that good, the stats on him speak for themselves

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, or moan as you call it, about any posts on this forum. You need to think before you post such a childish response.

I just shared my opinion on your post...

It would be so much better without the ridiculous sponsor logo. Totally Wicked? Totally unnecessary.

Unless you fancy digging into your own pocket and paying what they do, then I would stop moaning. 

Moving back from Hong Kong to Manchester for 6 months before relocating to New York, so will definitely be buying one, first time in 12 years! 

Every single one of those players just watching and walking, embarrassing. 

So slow to every second ball, so many times caught ball watching!

So sick to death of our players just pointing and moaning fucking get up and put your body on the line. Absolute wank 

this is awful.

Never a pen, won the ball- didn't he....

"It’s not an easy combination to get Bradley Dack match fit and ready to play more than 45 minutes.

“That’s an ongoing process. I think he needs a pre-season behind him really."

What is this gibberish? He has had more than a preseason's worth of preparation since returning. Plenty of time, plenty of matches in the U23s (no less competitive than preseason friendlies) and now a few cameos in the first team. Get him on the fucking pitch and stop making excuses, there are only 6 games left of our most important season in years and he won't be ready to play 90 by repeatedly playing 45!

I imagine there is an element of physical and mental after doing both ACLs, give the lad a break!

Any manager capable of reacting tactically to poor form. If that's a stand in then sobeit.

But who? If we win today and end up in play offs how would you feel?

Mowbray should not be in charge of this fixture.

Who would you like in charge?

Honestly, reading through the message board, I do think sometimes that I watched a different game. 

I thought it was a very good game of footy, it was competitive, thought we actually deserved to win and a great finish from Gally to top it off. 

Buckley and his ability to find space tonight was sensational, thought the team from back to front played good. 

I hope we absolutely stuff this lot.
