Pooky is a decent enough player, unfortunately for him we have Timlin Nalis & Easton who are better than him

Pook is shit. How many years has he supposedly had potential for?

I think I agree with Rob I think he would make a fair fullback, he can tackle, he has fair distribution, hes not slow but hes not pacey, I think he could make it as a fullback, maybe not in our team at the present but certainly a divison lower where his lack of pace wont be found out so quickly by fast skillfull wingers.

Fwiw its worth i agree but ,every other manager has rated him.
This is a bit of a hunch, but I think Pook is one of these players who looks good in training, but never quite cuts it in the real heat and battle. Hes always genuinely wanted to play for Swindon as well, which has helped prolong his career here. I actually do think he's a reasonably skilful player, ive seen him score decent goals. But the engine isnt there, no pace and he goes missing big time in hard games. Which renders him useless to be honest. He cant use the excuse of a lack of games, he's got more games than a young player in that position could ever hope for. Chris Allen is slightly better than Pook at this stage. Hopefully he will improve, rather than stagnate like Pook did. |

Again, he's trying to cut it in the hardest position on the pitch.
I guess as the best player in the youth set up, he has to play there.

I dont think Allen will cut the mustard, I think him and Pook are very similar in ability, I suppose Allen has age on his side still though so with good coaching he MAY improve. |

How anyone can possibly rate Pook is beyond me.

Pooky seems to be the best player in the reserves every game, hes the best trainer at the club by a mile, he took the option of the extra year feeling confident Malpas would be out by Xmas and a new man in who he starts with a clean slate
...he's still shit though. |

On the Hewlett subect, prior to his bad knee injury he was a decent midfielder. The less said about his return the better. Similar story to Kieth O'Halleron, good midfielder who managed to break his leg twice...never the same again and ended up going back to Ireland to play football.
I think Pook could still do a job. One of my biggest concerns with MM is that his has built a rod for his own back by stating clearly Pook and Sturrock are two players free to look elsewhere. These players although not flash, work hard, always give 100% and get stuck in. I hate to be critical of some in the side currently, but JP, to name one, has bottled so many tackles this season I have lost count.
