Hartlepool are ninth despite having lost more games than they have won and conceded more than they have scored

Hartlepool's slim hopes of making the League Two play-offs were dealt a major blow when they lost 2-0 at bottom of League Two, Northampton.
Pools are ninth despite having lost more games than they have won and conceded more than they have scored.
After Cobblers’ goals late in the first half from Mathias Doumbe and early in the second period from Brennan Dickenson sunk Pools, manager Colin Cooper said:
“We were flat, and didn’t play like we were capable of. The players felt tired and leggy. We made changes to try and freshen it up, but it hasn’t worked.
“The goals we conceded were soft, and we all feel disappointed.”
Pools did well to recover after a poor start to the season, and while they have improved steadily, this latest result would suggest they are still some way short of being genuine promotion contenders.
