Aldershot Town 3-2 Hartlepool United - Saturday 22nd February 2025 (Match Day Thread)

[Peter macdonald]

I thought the second half was good and the win was fully deserved and I said we’d win at HT

I thought Hartlepool shaded the game - they were big, organised and a threat going forward, although we had something they didn't - Barrett's flair and inventive passing, even if not everything he tried came off.

Their keeper was the player most responsible for their downfall - not great for either our first or second goals.

I must have watched a different game to you then, yes the first half was poor but the second half alone I thought we fully deserved the victory

Highlights.

Not sure Mullins can claim the first one, definitely seemed to cannon off the knee of the Hartlepool defender.

Our winner looks tight. Jack looks straight for the flag when the ball hits the net!

Their equaliser - definite foul in the build-up but appears we didn’t play to the whistle.

Will let the ref off as he allowed us to play in the first place and we won but that was a bad miss from him.

Maybe Mullins didn't put that away after all. Still think Jack was offside. But everything that can go wrong on the pitch has gone wrong so we were due a bit of luck.

Just watching back on dazn and it was a pretty relentless pace second half. Fair play to them for giving it everything.

Question, is Hugo's record better than Tommy's in the last comparable amount of league games played ?

I was very surprised at the pace of the game particularly as the soft ground must of sapped their legs.

I think we looked fitter than Pools in the second half one or two of their players looked like they were struggling to cope with the end to end nature of the game

[Reg's corner]

Their second should be chalked off by the fa to be fair..
