Luke James

I know we're all really pleased when Pools are on the telly but somehow I wish we weren't - just at the moment.

If Oldham manage a point against Yeovil at home on Tuesday night then the live game against Brentford will just be a very public wake for Poolies.

Of course, we will all be routing for Yeovil  who are managed by Gary Johnson who just happens to be the dad of Oldham manager Lee.  In my experience most dads just love getting one over on their precocious sons - so come on Gary!

But I can feel another big Pools drama unfolding. Oldham get to safety in mid-week then we pull out a big performance against Brentford when nothing is at stake.

The lads are certainly capable of doing it. The Luke James show at Tranmere gained him a standing ovation from the sporting home fans, and if he does that again on Sky he'll be off somewhere else during the summer.

So will Sott Flinders who is far too good for League Three - as his superb penalty save showed.

In the meantime is anybody else constantly drawn back to the results table this season and those horrible nil-nils against Pompey, Colchester , Yeovil and Walsall.

What would a single Pool's goal in a couple of those games have done for our season?
