One swallow doesn't make a Summer but…..

Wrong thread

[Hands on]

LJ signalled for Simpson to go into the middle just before the goal and bang 1 nil. LJ was involved throughout the game. There is no doubt who the boss is. Not the hands folded ranting at the fourth official but stepping forward onto the pitch to remind them of what was required.

 

Connor Brown is improving but size does seem to matter in this league and he is challenged! His preference for the back pass has him turning towards the goal rather than away - something that a good coach will sort out.

 

Regular back passing started in the second half when, until Baxter scored the third, we seemed to lack energy. This is something I'm sure Lee will stop.

 

Hartlepool needed to win that game more than we did and showed excellent spirit after the break until Baxter killed them off.

 

The most impressive things are the difference from Saturday and the fact that we played as a team. 4 2 3 1 worked well.

 

It was wonderful! We have six more games against bottom half teams and repeating that performance would see us winning them all. Can I get carried away after Shrewsbury?

Couldnt make the game last night but caught some of the updates on RadioManc. Sounded really positive, said we played some great football and we were far superior.

 

Interesting point though,

 

Steve eyre was doing the commentary on the feature game (Bury) but said he had a few texts off his collegue Tony Carss who was at the oldham game doing a bit of work for Huddersfield (he's a coach of the Huddersfield accademy) who sent him "a few derogatory text messages about how Hartlepool were playing".

 

So.. who's off to hudds in the summer then?

 

I wouldn't read anything into that as tony carrs is their almost every game in the press box in the same seat with a laptop.
