I love the optimism on the Hartlepool forum.
Gotta love the optimism of a team 2 points adrift at the foot of the league, 10 points away from the safety position of 20th place, a goal difference of -26 and just 2 away wins and 4 away draws all season, 2nd highest goals conceded in the league and the lowest goals scored in the league.
We have score 6 more goals in home games alone that they have scored home and away this season in total including all cup games.
Still wierder things have happened and we havent beaten them in the last 3 meetings at the CG with our last win at home coming in 2007 with Cox and Corr scoring.
But haven't they been on a good run of late, clawing back points on those around them? They have also got nothing to lose, while we are allegedly in disarray having lost our best player and possibly losing our talismanic manager? I'd quite fancy playing us now to be honest. |

They have won the last 2 games but they were against Notts County and Pompey and anyone can beat them at the moment!
Prior to that they had 1 win in 26 games, albeit away at Sheff Utd.

Playing against the 2nd most in form team in the league (last 8 games) away from home? Behave |

We havent been beaten since November and have won the last 4 home games without conceding a goal against and up against a team that has only scored 14 goals away from home who are rock bottom.
Now if we can't be a little confident now against that opposition when can we be confident?

This is Swindon, we should never feel confident! |

And usually I don't but of all clubs to play I would rather it was them than pretty much any other team at home, except maybe Pompey who are as good as relegated for me. |

And all on pitches that resembled bogs. We should be confident (although not complacent) about tomorrow back on hallowed turf.... |

Are you trying to turn us into Accrington Stanley? |

Great cause, but I hate those lemming like flags, just reminds me of plastic Reading et al. He should have saved himself a quid or two and got all the free papers he could find, rip them up into bin liners and stand outside the ground charging £1 a handful. I'll still chuck a quid or two into the barrel, but i'll leave my flag for someone else. |

Anonymous donors have paid for the flags in order to provide fans with a visual support of our club
That'll look good in the photo op when the new board is walked out onto the pitch before the match. Admittedly it's a pretty clever PR stunt, wonder how much double glazing had to be sold to pay for the flags |

I see Storey is back in the squad for tomorrows game, it might be nice to have a full compliment on the bench!
