Starting 11 for the National League Cup game against Leeds includes 5 who played some part against Boreham Wood (Lavelle, Nolan, Popov, Hunter and Hugill) plus Fisher, Eccleston (ban doesn't affect this one), Penman, Penprase, Gibson and Bondo.

The competition is over and done with for Pools after tonight. Good - should never have entered it!

2-0 up at the minute like...

I think this is the strongest starting 11 we have used in the competition so far. Would be good if we could actually win a game, meaningless though the competition is.

3-0 now. Bondo got two.

Bondo (goal machine) and Popov have both scored. The flood gates may be opening.

I don't know why these games aren't available to stream - I think the National league underestimates how many Poolies around the World would cough up a tenner to watch a pointless game against Leeds' under 21's on a dark wet Tuesday night (I can think of three of us at least...).

What?, we've won a cup match?, seriously?, we haven't won a cup match in any type of competition in 27 years, surely that's a misprint?, players need to be drug tested, rabbit away here, all bets cancelled till enquiry concluded...

Thanks for the info. I had no idea that there still was a National League TV after Dazn took over the league games.

It's bollocks. Pools won 6 cup ties in season 2021/22.

Mind, it was 3 years since the last cup win - 5-1 away to City of Liverpool in the FA Trophy.

Jamie, I think Clark never actually turned up for any match as an actual manager….just another North East big three ‘celebrity’ manager to supposedly appeal to our fans…. who crashed on take off.
