Vigouroux. 7. Nearly got a hand to the pen. Mostly solid.
Hunt. 7. The epitome of solid.
Happe. 6. A few wobbly moments and his distribution wasn’t the best.
Beccles. 7. Steady eddy.
James. 7.5. Makes it all look so easy. Would love to know his pass completion stats. Different class for this level.
El miz. 7. Perhaps not quite as good as his first couple of games but still a big influence.
Pratley. 8. Excellent. Unsung hero.
Smyth. 8. Goal and another assist. He stays fit we get promoted.
Archibald. 6.5. A little off it again. He didn’t have a bad game per se but can do better.
Moncor 7 Silky smooth on the ball. Could be a bit of a luxury on a cold winters night in err Hartlepool? Let’s see.
Kelman MOM 8. Wellens will love that performance. Run himself into the ground. Another goal.

Subs. 7. Ruel scored and there is something about Brown I really like. Will be an important player for us this season.

Wellens. 7. Won’t be especially pleased we made it so difficult for ourselves. Let’s be honest, Hartlepool had two lively forwards but offered nothing across the rest of the pitch

Hartlepool. 5.

Ref. 5. Gave us a pen that wasn’t a pen then didn’t give us a pen that was a pen.

Once they get to that stage of almost telepathic understanding of where the front 3 are moving off the ball our attack could be a really frightening prospect for the rest of the league.

The biggest threat to this side is believing its own hype, something I'm sure RW & PT will be making sure they keep a lid on. Stay humble, keep working hard and put the opposition to the sword and great things can be achieved.

Nah the biggest threat is injuries. It's the main reason our best players are in this league.

Just hope we can keep Paul Smyth injury free, and Kelman looks a quality signing, he’s got great pace and took his goal really well.

Silly mistakes at the back almost cost us, as they did against Mansfield. Two weeks ago Vigs saved us but he wasn’t called upon much today. Happe wasn’t great today and maybe Thompson deserves a chance at CB.

Hartlepool are in for a long season if today’s performance is anything to go by, apart from the two guys up front they offered very little, with their defence being one of the worst Seen for a while in E10.

We also seem to have finally found a genuine penalty taker in George Moncur, two already this season, both well struck, let’s hope we get more.
I thought our penalty today was a bit harsh on Hartlepool as it looked as though the foul was just outside the area.
I was surprised that the Ref gave the pen. But then it looked as though Smyth was bundled over in the area later in the 1st half and the ref refused a cert penalty.

All in all an entertaining game.

Smith replaced on tbe bench with Drinan, who can then come on for Archibald, Smyth or Kelman to keep things fresh

Need to get on top of the needless yellow cards though, this could come back to bite us in the winter if we're not careful.
