Thank you for replying without resorting to the derision favoured by other contributors. I have said in almost every post that I am delighted by Pools thus far, this season, there has been no negativity from me. Can a team "prosper" without a goal scorer? I guess it depends what you mean by prosper. This Pools team have demonstrated they can give anyone a decent game in this league. With a goal scorer, I would be confident we could beat anyone in this league. We are capable of a play off spot but I doubt we will achieve it because we dont score enough goals. Up to this point we have been without Burey for a game and bit. I wonder what will occur over the time Burey is out. Maybe, we will prosper but if we don't, some of the decisions made in the close season will be the reason.
