Live on website BUT it will cost you £5.

Are you

A) Desperate to see Pools play and a £5 is nowt

Or

B) Not wasting money on a meaningless pre-season friendly where the team will rotate throughout the match

Think I'll give it a go just to get a look at all the new faces. The OS has still got last season's official squad photograph up - there's 6 + Williams still on the books out of 23.

its a big B for me. its not the money its the type of boring game you get. if football was like pre season friendly games i,d never go again even for free.

I went for A)

2-1 half time, our goal was definitely a cross but we will take it.

Look a little rusty as you might expect.

Grey has been the big positive for me, quick and causing them a lot of problems up front.

Its okay. Ferguson and Odusina looking good. Grey is busy and dangerous, but little end product, reminding me of Luke James, twisting and turning but getting nowhere. Parkhouse will be pleased to have got off the mark.

Decent enough watch that. Positives and negatives. A nice £1000 + quid in the bank for Blyth, with 220 odd paying to watch the game on live stream.

Agree with Horden’s comments, also don’t believe Oates is the solution up front and also Parkhouse wasn’t great although early days.

Our best players were the well established ones , Featherstone, Molyneux etc

Still unbeaten but not getting over excited!

Grey's style of play is certainly reminiscent of Luke James the way he likes to get on the ball. He got though a ton of work and at 17 he's only going to get stronger and better at knowing when to release to teammates.

It's a pity the commentators didn't have a team sheet for the nine who came on at about 60 minutes. I thought Ofosu (no.16) looked very lively. Disappointed not to get a look at Mason Bloomfield - didn't really expect Luke Williams to play twice in 24 hours.

On Twitter it gave the name of one of the second half subs as Campbell. Anyone know who he is?
