[matt-thesaddler]

Might be because every trip is pretty long!

15-23 to a football club.

Tinned to arrive early so no one sees him apologising to Mr Whallet for all the fuss he has caused this season and then celebrates a successful grovelling session by buying me a pint in the Saddlers Club.

2-1 Walsall in front of an excited crowd of 4,750. Library stand to get upset at all the singing and Roy Whalley to receive 16 complaint emails after the match.

BBC camera crew to leave early, when they think they've arrived at Norwich by mistake.

[SWS1]

This message board is damn quiet.

It's always quiet on here when we win.

A good result today, well done to the team.

[1933]

A great team performance today - Hartlepool are no great shakes but they had chances and we showed plenty of determination and passion that has been missing in home performances earlier in the season.

Stand out individual performances today from Richard Taundry and Clayton McDonald I thought.

The moves for our first and third goals were brilliant to watch. We could have scored more in the 2nd half with quite a few decent crosses going into the box.

Again, it's a shame that Hutchings didn't see fit to throw Grigg on for the final few minutes, especially as Nicholls appeared to tire a little after chasing down quite a lot of the ball throughout the match.

Peter Till was on the only substitution coming on for Jones. Till actually beat two men and whipped in a half decent cross near the end!

10th place still in reach.

After hearing Julian Gray on the radio after the match, it sounds doubtful that he'll be with us next season!

[fatboyslim]

Great result!

Still don't see why he didn't give 10 mins to some of the lads on the bench.....only goes to show Hutchings tactical cluelessness in my opinion!

[yoda]

We were decent they were shocking. Could have put 5 or 6 past them.

I fall more in love with Taundry every game.

Last time we kept a clean sheet was Colchester at home.

[thickkearns]

Hartlepool very poor today, we played really well in snatches , Richards was so unlucky when he hit the bar , thier keeper just got a touch on it . plenty of yellow in the lower floors2go , well done lads

[OldPenkSaddler]

Enjoyable game, I thought we played pretty well and were well worth the 3 points.

Great to see the referee and his assistants, the police and the stewards all supporting Unity's wear yellow campaign. Clearly Bangor Boy's influence is far reaching. :wink:

Don't forget those collecting for the lifeboats in yellow coats and both sets of substitutes wore yellow vests. The campain rolls on :D
