Watching the game away to Aldershot. Conn- Clarke no10 for Altrincham is a very dangerous player. He is small but a very good footballer. We will need to keep him quiet on Tuesday.

Let them worry about us.
3 points should send out a statement that we back on track n upwards under KP.
UTP.

Shouldn't get ahead of ourselves.
Anything could happen between now and Tuesday 19:45. Like a big snow storm could hit Hartlepool....

Or yet more injuries. Always seems to happen.

That's more likely

Plus they 2-0 down now.

TBH I fancy our chances against anybody at the minute. Pools have definitely turned a corner. Best Bromley at their place and don’t have to play Chesterfield again. Bring ‘em on!

This^^^^^

they didn,exactly tear us apart at there pace did they. we have improved since then. always respect but never fear.

The day we start worrying about Altrincham is probobly the day we should pack it all in.Let them worry about us, they are obviously a decent team, but thats it.

Exactly
Shit standard division
No fear. It's a sign of weakness.
UTP.

Will be a good test this they are a decent side at this level

So we're Bromley.

Think it is important we dont get carried away. Altringham will be determined to make up for the Aldershot loss and Pools tend to struggle when they have two games close together. All I can say is fingers crossed.

Don't think anyone's getting carried away, expectations are rising though. We've shown we can match most in this division for skill and with the new additions for strength and will to win.
I'd imagine they'll be more wary of us given our recent uplift in form.

Well, we have never beaten them. So will be interesting. All I can say is that we look in a better, stronger position and look a lot better than we did back in December.

But also we haven't lost to them (in a league match, 3 draws). We did lose to them in a FA Cup match in 1973 though.

exactly.

We don,t need to worry about any team, We also must not underestimate any team.

Agree
Confidence without bigheadedness.
In KP we believe.
UTP.

We had enough to keep Borehamwood done - even with a 1-0 deficit at home!

we put them to the sword as they tired - given our subs bench has got weaker we still managed to change the game.

Mancini and Duffus should be back shouldnt they for this one ? even off the bench

Senior, i wonder if hes out as long as Kahn if so, send him back and recruit someone else whilst we are on this run !

Alty have confidence and 2 good players whom id imagine wont be with them next season. We surely have enough on a mild tuesday on the coast to again get all 3 points !

Would love Mancini back but I reckon he will be lucky to play another game before end of March

Mancini is slowly becoming the new frustrating sick note !

Id play Stephenson as a CM now if we cant get pace into the Midfield too

Duffus back next Friday but Mancini not back. Senior is getting closer to fitness but Joe Gray has a tight calf so could miss the Alty game. No hope of Khan being back for another month and same with Umerah. Wonder who else will drop out before Tuesday.

Yeh Mancini is doing media duties in the lounge etc isnt he.

shame about kahn like - tbh id be sending him back and getting another fit player in. we are on a good run, cant afford to carry passengers tbh

1-1 is my prediction

Agree about Khan. He has manged 75 minutes in his debut appearance and injured ever since. Waste of a wage in my opinion. Send him back to Grimsby and get someone else in.

It's the same for Duffus too.

I guess the difference is Duffus is likely to be back next weekend whereas no hope of Khan playing for another month. Duffus has started three games for us unlike Khan who has started just the one.

Double post

If Mancini had avoided injury he would have played his way out of the club as he is clearly a class player when fit. Now we can be pretty sure that he will be part of next season's push for promotion.

Pools should have enough to edge a 3-2 win against Altrincham.

Injuries really impacting our bench , very defence heavy due to lack
Of numbers

A few cameo appearances from Stevo so far from the bench.
Got faith in him to do a good job from the kick off if selected.

Just got to hope Mancini can make a full recovery and still be our player come 1st of September.
2 big hopes I know but Hope is in the Poolie dna.
UTP.

Worry about what’s on the pitch not the bench…and on the pitch looks good.

Cooper and Stephenson did OK off the bench for us.
