didn't go last night.but one thing is glaringly obvious to me.pook will never win alot of people over. some are waiting for him to do the slightest thing wrong so they can slate the lad.
people booing him when his name is announced is fucking pathetic.
people did it on the last day of the season in a game of massive importance, and allegedly last night aswell.
centre mids seem to bare the brunt of the abuse at swindon from supporters.sometimes playing that postion is a thankless task.

but, he was really quite poor last night, despite the level of opposition.
He should have the been the leader in a midfield of whatever his name is Macklin, Allen and Rigley - yet he was easily the worst of the 4.
I agree some people jump on his back for nothing, but every time soneone jumps on his back some people stick up for him....just because....
He wasnt good last night at all....a supposed League One midfielder should shine against Supermarine

Instead he was probably our worst player of the 22 that played for us. I wouldn't judge him too harshly though, seeing as they've only been in training for a week, and its the first game for over two months. But he will have to improve, thats for sure |

maybe sensing a dislike for him from the crowd holds him back?ie not taking risks and doing ambitious things.
i know he has limited talent, but i'm convinced alot of the stick he gets is undeserved.he is nowhere near as bad as some make him out to be.

I agree we haven't seen enough of him to judge for this season yet but considering Rigley has only just come back from injury after 5 months he looked far superior to a player who fitness in comparison should be far better. I don't dislike him however I don't think hes good enough for league 1.

I thiught he had a great game at boston away last year, if he played like that each week he would be class but he doesnt, its more like 1 in 20 which to me means he will never be more than a non league or league 2 player. |

With Easton, Peacock, Adams all battling it out for centre mid, I just can't see Pook getting into the side this season. Nothing against the lad, just the way I see it. Which is good news for town, means we're progressing.
Like others have said in that midfield he should have stood out, but he didn't. Ridley just back from injury, Allen has been ill all week and only trained last Monday and yesterday morning, Macklin? No experience whatsoever at first team level.
Yes don't criticise the bloke for nothing, but don't defend him for the sake of it.
On a side note perhaps people going on and on and on and on and on about "the rock" doesn't help his image, on this site at least.

Some of, if not most of the stick he gets is undeserved. The thing is, i want to give him a chance but the amount of stupid things he does is worrying, mainly misplacing simple passes and running around like a headless chicken.
He may be held back by the crowd, but come on - Hes a proffesional footballer ffs!! If he cant handle it then he shouldn't be a footballer

i have to agree that at times his performances have been awful.equally there were games last season where i thought he did well.only for people to slate him big time.thats why i think he cannot win the crowd over.
look at alan young for instance,the lad had a 3 year deal and was rubbish,about 3 feet tall and was never going to make it as a pro.but the crowd used to cheer him all the time.pook is a far better prospect than him but gets slaughtered.

I think if Adams is passed fit and signable Pook wil be off, if not I think he'll be here as a squad player.

Well another player that that happens to is Roberts, he can play well and yet loads of people just slate him for being "lazy". Even Vincent was getting stick last season for not being a decent footballer - just a steady eddie, despite being 2nd half player of the year (imo). |

I highlighted that Pook was gash because he was our worst player. Now it may be down to lack of matches but he was worse than his usual standard (which I find distinctly average). Doesn't know what's going on around him, when he finally did he tried a 40 yard cross field ball that went out of touch. Allen was far better in the centre of the pitch.
Roberts I was impressed with. I've called him lazy before but the last two months of the last season he worked hard, so I've stopped calling him lazy. Yes he tried one too many tricks that didn't come off, but that's not laziness.
