Gale watched our match, his post match summary went something like -

Hartlepool played some of the best Football i've seen this season,

They outplayed Leeds for the Vast amount of the game,

How they didnt score or win the game is beyond me,

If Leeds go up this season, it will be 2nd to Hartlepool !!

Well Done Pools you done us proud !

Two very sloppy goals. If we learn from our mistakes and continue to play like that then fasten your seatbelts for a decent season.

their two strikers had a chance each, and both scored. Their two forwards are good, the rest of their team looked average but they worked hard to defend as a unit - as they had to, given the amount of possession we had. Pools showed a lot of skill across the park today, the midfield played very well. Un fortunately bad luck and poor finishing has cost us more than the two mistakes for their goals, because we had more than enough opportunities to win this game.
That's football.
