Lost 10 -0 at home tonight!

The worm of time turns not for the cuckoo of circumstance.

Bizarre game.
Hartlepool made four subs in the first two minutes of the game and then saw Middlesbrough under 21s enjoy a whopping 93% of possession.

They played it this afternoon and had a bit of a Family Day, like Dale did against Burnley in this week 12 months ago.

It seems Lee Clark had already decided it was a game to give his youth players some experience, but by the rules of the competition, he had to start with some senior players, who were immediately subbed, as we did on a couple of occasions last season.

Whatever his reasoning, it badly backfired.

Maestro? No. Elite? No. Heavyweight poster? No. Able to be rational and not over-react to individual results? Yes.
