A far better performance. one of the best away from home in a long time.Barker looks to have done his medial knee ligaments meaning probably 4-6 weeks out.

The return of Mcunnie and Monkhouse balanced the team and with Seeney and Monkhouse covering Mccunnie and Humphreys we looked far better. Barrett in goal played well and deserves to remain on Saturday.

Porter and Mackay upfront pulled their defence all over and ir was a close run thing for MOM between Porter and Collins in defence who didnt mess about winning heaqders and finding row Z when necessary.

Porter and Mackay give us more pace up front than we have had all season and with injury to Barker should get a run together which will add something between now and the end of the season.

The goal was a class finish as mackay beat the offsife trap opened up his body and lobbed Crossley from about 18 yards with his right foot, a goal worthy of winning any game.The goal coming in the 74th minute and between then and the end of the game Pools were comfartable with Barrett making a fine save in the last minute the only real danger. A well earned 3 points and a step closer to ensuring we remain in league 1 next season.

Dont expect any comments from tax paying poolie as he is in Portugal with his wife to be.Rumour Trip kept quiet as he is expected to return with Mrs Tax paying poolie.Congratulations from all
