After chasing a play-off spot a month ago, Hartlepool may need another win to stay clear of the drop zone
After chasing a play-off spot a month ago, Hartlepool have now plunged into the bottom half of League Two and may need another win to stay clear of the drop zone.
Saturday’s 1-0 defeat at Portsmouth leaves Colin Cooper’s side with work to do, and he said:
“The first half performance was not acceptable.
“In the second half we stood our ground a bit better. We have one month to play for our futures.”
Portsmouth eased their relegation fears with an Adam Webster goal on two minutes, and two minutes later Pools’ keeper Andy Rafferty saved a Ryan Taylor penalty, conceded by Christian Burgess, who is on loan from Boro.
POOLS: Rafferty, Duckworth, Collins, Burgess (Harrison 77), Holden, Barmby (Franks 65), Walton, Walker, Compton (Hawkins 46), Poole, James. Subs: Rowbotham, Richards, Jones, Oliver.
