Euell proves doubters wrong
MATCHWINNER Jason Euell has answered his critics – and no one is more delighted than his team-mates and boss Ian Holloway.
The Seasiders manager saluted Euell's professionalism and claimed the striker's goalscoring performance against Ipswich will "allow me to pick him a bit more often".
Euell's fourth of the season was the only goal as Pool got one over on an Ipswich side who have beaten them twice this season.
It left Pool just two points below the Championship play-off zone and had a capacity home crowd applauding Euell's contribution, which pleased his team-mates.
Centre-half Alex Baptiste said: "I don't know why Jason sometimes gets grief. You can see the quality he has in that performance.
"His hold-up play was different class. He was coming back and winning the ball and he won headers in our box as well.
"On top of that, he scored the goal we desperately needed, so he couldn't have done much more.
"He is a fantastic professional. We all know what ability he has and I don't know why people get on his back. It's the same with Ben Burgess – they are absolutely vital players for the squad."
Keeper Matt Gilks, named sponsor's man of the match after a string of fine saves, echoed those views.
"Jason has done very well. We've got no qualms about him at all," he said.
"He is a fantastic player and has a lot of attributes on and off the field.
"He showed on Saturday what a good player he is."
