"They'll be a few clowns on the pitch on Saturday... this should bring the crowds in"
there was one in the dugout every game last year, but that didn't seem to help....!
I'll go for a 3-2 win, though thats being a bit optimistic. Realistically this will be more of a test, and we might have to settle for a draw. Dobsons injury is a worry, though hopefully money is on the lookout for a second midfielder which could help things.
As for the goals, butler, sam and wright

No need to have too much respect for Hartlepool, a side that hung on for a nil-all draw against the Macc lads, and pale shadows of their former selves. They're breaching the wage cap so can't do anything with their squad without dumping players, they're yet to score this season in two starts and missed two penalties against Swindon. Something's wrong with the monkey hangers.
If we're shorn of Dobson we could see a change in formation, and maybe a reduction in service, but the chances we've been creating so far are setting us up well, and our defence looks good.
1-0 could be on the cards, but if the ball falls well that could be 4 - it's that sort of feeling.

1-0
As I said on the Stockport match thread, another win and a clean sheet will do wonders for our confidence. This is our first 'test' of the season, and the next 3 league games will give us a good measure of how we are in comparison to the other teams tipped for promotion.
If we can take 7 points from this run of games, then we will be top of the league at the end of August. Staying unbeaten and keeping goals against to 1 or 2 at most is crucial for confidence.

I think Hartlepool are being under estimated by some, cos they have had a poor start, by all accounts they played swindon off the park first game of the season, very unlucky not to win, missed two penaltys
I think they will be nearer the top than the bottom come the end of the season.
1-1 Sam to score our goal

Is there any chance that one of you could have my mobile number and let me know off the score or something like that.
You will be ok. There are plenty of TV's at Birmingham Airport! :wink:
