So what I'm trying to get at here is how much of the blame lies with the players? How much of it lands with Clarke? And how much does it land with the tactics, the backroom staff, you know, that they're implementing and what they're trying to coach into them?
13:51
Interesting that.
13:52
It'd be very easy for me to sit here off the back of Clarke, resign and say it's all down to tactics because ultimately, the players should have enough quality on the pitch.
14:00
I mean, if you look between Popov, Harris and Nolan alone, they got 48 league goals between them last season and between the three in this season, whether it's worked for them or not, they've got three goals.
14:11
Now, I do agree what you're saying with Harris in terms of giving him that service.
14:15
I think Alex Reid suffered last year as a similar sort of issue with that.
14:20
And I think we even saw today that Harris is willing to do the hard yards and put himself about.

I mean, Jordan, do you have faith in Bromby and partners to get the next decision correct? And what do you think will happen if they get it wrong?

Like I think, The thing about like
43:14
sort of doing the whole germ approach of like starting at a point and just like, and then bit by bit makes a lot of sense in miniatures because like I was talking about portraiture before, you got the sculpt, you got the landmark, you don't have to draw.
43:26
There's no lines to be inside or in terms of form, right? Like, yeah, the little individual bits, but you've got it all there, right? But for me, I still like, just my sort of philosophy into painting has always been I'm always working on the big picture.
43:43
And so for me, I want to start really broadly.
43:46
I want to establish my whole composition.
43:48
I want to establish everything all at once.
43:51
So I'm full color.

And maybe this is going to sound super conceited about it, but I don't want to be too, don't
4:35
But if you had to rank your top three moments, uh, I know [sighs] highlights are few and far between as a Pools supporter, but what would they be and, and why?
4:46
Yeah, it wasn't very difficult to, to choose this because, um, one, the wo- the moments we've had have been so memorable, and two, they've been quite sparse, so didn't take me long to think of them.
4:55
Obviously, the ultimate for me was probably the promotion at Aston Gate, um, especially given that season Pools fans were robbed of so many memories.
5:04
Obviously, that season was played behind closed doors, and we sort of finally had that outpour of emotion in the, the most ridiculous way.
5:09
Played obviously how that game panned out and the goalkeeper scoring for Torquay in the last moments and then bringing it back on penalties.
5:16
So that was, that was unbelievable.
5:18
Something I'll never forget for the rest of my life.
