CT - new team

Boss Chris Tuner says four wins will keep Hartlepool United in League One. So it’s over to you pal – pick, motivate, organise and coach the team to those four wins and the fans who howled for you to be sacked last weekend might get off your back. There again, they might not.

Fail, and your days running the team must be numbered - and even if you succeed, questions should still be asked.
Pools go to fellow strugglers Leyton Orient on Saturday knowing that they can’t afford to lose – no more coming home with the praise of rival managers ringing in their ears, saying Pools are a good side who went close and gave the likes of Millwall, Norwich, Southampton and others a good game before losing.
For a change, let's head back up the A1 with Orient boss Geraint Williams saying his side were robbed by a team lucky to get away with a win.
Let’s play ugly and win with a last-minute own goal – honest, Chris, it’s a lot better than losing and being told you played well.

Turner says Pools need to stick together to get out of the mess they are in and has called on the fans to get behind the team to help get the points they need.

Well, you might not have noticed Chris, but the fans have been behind the team for much of the season.

But it’s almost over now, and it’s all been a big disappointment.
You were given backing by the owners to virtually build a new team, and that team is fifth bottom of the table.
