Good write up as usual, Mach. I listened to a bit, and caught Woodman's post-match and he sounded much much happier (issue with the coach aside).
RE: your point about promotion, I would feel aggrieved if we finished second and didn't go up. It's why, selfishly, I wish Wrexham had finished second and *not* gone up last year - their media pull shone a much bigger spotlight on it, and now they and Notts are gone I wonder if the EFL will shrug their shoulders and move on.
Great article as always, many thanks, I have enjoyed my visits to Hartlepool to be honest, never seeing us lose there helps of course, I do tend to judge grounds rather than towns etc, also, as a disabled fan, the quality of stewards and Hartlepool stewards are really good, depressing grounds for me were Salford City, both Yeovil grounds and Barnet grounds and going back to the late 70's and 80's, Croydon Athletic, Harlow Town, Heybridge Swifts, Leyton Wingate and Harwich & Parkeston.
Thanks Machel. Yes indeed a fantastic response from the lads. Nice to see as Barnet seem to have hit a cliff. Anyone doubting AW's man management skills will have been silenced now. He was looking for the team to be ruthless and better defensively- he got both. Although as we know he won't be totally happy unless we get a clean sheet.
The most encouraging aspect was that we were on it for the full minutes which we haven't been for a while. If we can play like that we can make top 3. There is now a 5 point gap to Solihull in Fourth.
Arthur's was excellent but once again there was no weak link in the team which shows our strength in depth. Cheeky pulling out of the box and making space at corners and free kicks was no accident either and worked a treat. Worst place not non-league Wolverhampton.
