After about 10mins Hartlepool appeared to be in control and i would have taken a draw, but after they went down to 10men i thought we could have won it... Hartlepool played well with 10men but they seemed to gradually run out of steam in the 2nd half and in the last 20mins thought we were going to push on and sneak a win... however, never really got at their keeper...
Thought Zouma & Ogle were good again and seemed to have helped the defence look more stable... other areas of the pitch most played well/ok bar Mooney having an off day as sub and Ceesay having an average game...
Main issue continues to be striker 'problem'... all been said before, & agree it's hard to find a quality 20plus goalscorer midseason as all/most good ones will already be under contract elsewhere, however we need to solve this issue...
Parky & the Board have tried several options since Jordan left day before season started... Hancock has been tried but better behind striker, Peers also tried but more of player for bench to come on... also Mooney, Kosylo, Ceesay tried on occasions but they're better in other positions... then new faces like Clayton, McDonald, Adarbioyo, Harrison etc tried and not worked... presently have Piggott & Hardy who both need to get matchfit, then loanee Gibson getting injured last night... wonder who'll be next to be tried - hopefully Hardy &/or Piggott can get fit to last 90mins... the striker issue is main position to solve in the summer, if not before...
Roll on Aldershot game on Saturday... not sure who'll be up front, but hopefully we can get a win... COYR!
