On the latest episode of the Poolie Podcast, Robbie Stelling discusses David Ferguson being left out v Tamworth

Transcript

00:00You don't that often get two left-footers playing in the same backline, certainly not in a central

00:06role. Ferguson obviously can play as a wing-back, and given how impressive Cleary has been,

00:11you would suggest that if Cleary remains at Pools, he's going to stay in that position.

00:18Parks obviously missed Saturday's game with a slight knee complaint. I don't think there

00:21were many people that were hugely surprised to see him back in the side. He's featured in pretty

00:26much all of his team's National League games this season, and has certainly been the most

00:31consistent and reliable defender. Obviously dominant in the air, really good experience,

00:38powerful, relishes that physical challenge that a lot of the National League No. 9s

00:43pose. So not a massive surprise to see him return to the side. Nonetheless, I think fans were a

00:48little bit surprised to see David Ferguson miss out. He had one of his better games on

00:55Saturday, perhaps won't have been best pleased with his involvement in Sutton's opening goal,

01:00made a bit of a mess of his initial clearance, and then was subsequently out of position as Sutton

01:05took a quick throw and Dylan De Silva picked out goals for Will Davies. But his delivery was

01:12certainly the best it's been all season, and I think Pools missed that on Tuesday night. They

01:17didn't have quite the same threat from set pieces. Ferguson's late corner led to the winning goal

01:23on Saturday, and I imagine he was a little bit frustrated to have been left out.
